Citizen Kane

SOME CALLED HIM A HERO...OTHERS CALLED HIM A HEEL.

Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.

    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.
