Well, you know what, I knew it was his childhood sled. Everyone told me. And damn it, damn it, the journey into a character study of an intiguing man was more than worth it. I knew the ending. But I went through the journey of a man and cried at what I knew what was coming.
Please read the following questions carefully, be honest and listen to your conscience. Would you consider yourself to be a good person? The Bible declares, most men will proclaim their own goodness. Let’s see if you qualify as being a good person. Have you ever told a lie? Have you ever stolen anything, irrespective of its value? Have you ever used God’s name to curse? Jesus said, I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart?
@jesussaves7777 hey buddy listen im not gonna moan about you posting your views but come on religion is a lot like a cock its good that you have one and you should be proud of it but please stop getting it out and talking about it and for god sakes stop trying to force it down my throat just save it for some kind of bible chat room not on the ending of one of if not the best movies ever OK? also what if someone had a different view like me im agnostic and i don't appreciate having that posted
Have you ever looked at someone with lust? The Bible says that if someone hates another person they are a murderer (I John 3:15). Have you ever hated anyone? If you have answered, Yes, to the previous questions, then you have admitted that you are a liar, a thief, a blasphemer, an adulterer and a murderer and we’ve only looked at 4 of the 10 Commandments. If God were to judge you by this standard would you be innocent or guilty? You know you are guilty and deserving of an eternity in Hell.
Jesus Christ came to earth and died a criminal’s death not because He had broken the Law, but because we had. God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. What should you do? Repent, turn from your sins & put your complete faith in Jesus Christ as your Savoir and Lord. You may die today, in your sin. Is there any reason why you would not accept God’s gift?

Ok can someone explain to me why this movie is the "best movie of all time."
I'm really curious to know. I saw this film a while back and wasn't blown away by it. And I don't want to know it's the best just because it was the first to do a lot of things.
I'm really lost someone please explain to me why no other movie in existence is better than this movie?
Well, as you said, it did lots of stuff before other films. You must understand how old this film is and how different and "stale" many other films of the time looked compared to Citizen Kane.
Now I do agree that this isn't the best film of all time and it is overrated, but it's still pretty damn good and powerful movie. At least in my opinion. Even though it's old, it doesn't feel dated and holds up even today (and repeated viewings).
@Wiseguyzmoney I understand how you feel. It's overrated and dated. I don't see why this is #1 on AFI's 100 Best films above classics like Casablanca, The Godfather, The Wizard of Oz, Singin' in the Rain, etc. Cool shots and cool angles don't make up for a lack of interesting or compelling characters.
@ThePhantom135 What about Charles Kane in this film? He was an intiguing character with a complex. And the supporting characters (rather static characters) are interesting because they represent what was left of Kane's human connections. This film was top not because of its cinematic techniques, but simply because the dialogue and characterization was intelligent along with visuals that assist in furthering the meaning, not in the style.
@AliaSparrow I don't find a rich business tycoon who's being consumed by his greed that compelling. There's not much in this film that connected with me emotionally. I understand its influence on modern cinema and I agree it is important but as an artistic piece it didn't do much for me. Only my opinion. :)
A mystery's answer that was right under everyone's noses that was never solved. I felt bad for Kane. No matter how rich you are, money will never satisfy the human heart.
The cinematogrophy was brilliant, so far ahead of its time. Acting was superb, I can't believe many actors in this film was their debut! So talented!
Great movie, I liked the acting, I liked how the director of photography play with the shadows in this movie, but most important of all is the message in the movie; not everything in life is money.
This is what Rosebud meant: a man who began his career as an idealistic reporter and slowly became what he claimed to be he had money and power but lost his friends and family. When he said Rosebud the first time it was because he finally saw that he was now truelly alone in the world and spent the rest of his life regretting his decisions. when he died, Rosebud was the plea of a sad lonely and broken man longing for the one thing that reminded him of the one time in his life that he was happy
It represents childhood, the biggest gift of life. To me, the incinerator represents the fact that you can't get childhood back, it's just a bridge that burns behind you.
@minamu8 I think it more represents the past then just purely childhood. Charles' tears when he first said "Rosebud" would therefore mean his regret for his decisions made in his past and his longing to change it for the better, knowing that his actions had brought the inevitable result of him dying alone.
@AdonTimasu What's also tragic about Rosebud is that is also represent his passion for objects. When he loses his loved one, he has no one to cling to, but THINGS to cling to, his sled, his snowglobe. Think back of the scene Susan's "You never gave me anything that really mattered to you." He gave her the snowglobe. He loved her but crushed his relationship over his obsessions over wealth.
@AliaSparrow But his past personality shows that he wasn't obsessed with wealth. In fact, he proclaimed that he expected to LOSE money through his newspaper company, but, to his surprise, it was a success.
I'm 12, and saw this movie at age 9. It was a great story and had great special effects for it's time, but I don't understand why it's the "greatest movie of all time."
@holiboys Well, for 1941, pretty much everything about the film was remarkably ahead of its time. It's noted for its narrative structure (the way the story is told), music (the soundtrack), and cinematography, so it's very original and creative. I really think it's a pity that this film is regarded so much as the greatest film because that means nobody can enjoy the film anymore, they just watch it because of how good it is.
P.S. I'm 12, too. Have this movie on DVD, one of my favorites.
So the whole movie you wait to find out what Rosebud means, and then they only show the sled for about 10 seconds. I feel sorry for anyone that was looking down at their popcorn!
I'm not above my station, nor am I being condescending to others my age. I just think that people are quick to label teenagers as unsophisticated and stupid, so it's ironic that one could like this film, naturally.
This movie is absolutely brilliant. Notice here as the camera slowly looms towards rosebud, all of Kane's artifacts are stacked in a way to make them look like skyscrapers. They represent his entire life, his entire empire. Most of it is comprised of expensive, exquisite paintings and statues. Yet at the heart, is a crummy old sled, that really meant the most to him.
I watched this film just a few minute ago,and at the beginning it was quite boring,but then i saw the ending and i could really get the artistic sense of this good film.
Okay now don't get me wrong I love this movie so much, but if I was back in 1940 (or '41?) idk, and I hadn't known that rosebud was a sled (cuz I knew that before I 1st saw it) I would honestley kinda be like WTF, cuz you've been guessing for nearly 2 hrs what rosebud was and then u realize it was a sled and that's the last thing you'd guess and then you'd be like WTF again cuz u just realize that they're burning It and it's one of those moments u get really mad at the actors! :]
@OhBeatMyGuest Orson Welles was like Shakespear, Kafka or Tolkien there will never ever be someone like him the sad thing is that no one really understands his movies completly
Such a famous tracking shot--downward pan? (help--directors?). All that 'stuff', it shows, leading to a tragic life. Finally, the sled--lost innocence--the searing (literally) images make one weep for the man. For Cane's parents are as much to blame for his bloated mess of a life as the man himself--& the sled (RB) confirms this. I wonder if there are other tycoons who go through this in their last moments. Mr. Trump has got his feet on the ground, good for him, he won't become a Kane.
True, everyone has different options but if most of those options (51%) and most of the critics agree that this film is the best they have ever seen then that would make this movie the greatest of all time but of course most of the people that watch this movie are already dead and we would not sit at home to watch a movie that looks like shit and because of that most of the people today say that this movie isnt the greatest film of all time. We are used to color movies and we just love AVATAR!
@TiniNormi The 'meaning' hits me like a hammer every time I see the ending. Everyone who's lived a full life will have their hundreds of different 'Rosebuds', the different memories that seem better the farther they are -- childhood memories that seem so perfect when we're older. To everyone, the final thought before the last breath can only be one, & we'll never know until it happens to us. To Kane it was the perfect pleasures on his sled. We all have many, what will we think of?
To everyone, the final thought before the last breath can only be one, & we'll never know until it happens to us. To Kane it was the perfect pleasures on his sled. We all have many, what will we think of? And then those last thoughts and memories and even the 'things', go up in smoke. Jeezus, the ending of this movie is so unbelievable it makes a thinking/feeling person tear up with its power -- the message/meaning of our lives.
not the best movie ever made but definetly up there, if he could have taken that sled with him when he was taken away from his parents, it could have made him a better person. he loved it like it was his son
perfect movie?? comon!! this movie could barely make it to 3 stars lets be honest. with all do respect to the talented orson willis,, this is sooo not a perfect movie!!
@nadine89er No, its not a perfect movie--but its a near perfect one. This film has been listed as either no. 1 or 2 in top film institute lists--you can't discount that just based on your own views.
When the zooming shot of the sled and the word rusebud at 2:08 came, there was nothing, absolutely nothing, that would get me out of my seat!! The music keeps you so hooked to this ending.
I fail to understand why Ingmar Bergman hated this film. He said the film was boring, and that the performances were bad. This movie is more interesting and definitely more realistically portrayed then any of Bergman's films!
then unfortunately it is an ever present spiral downward, society is getting worse and worse, let us just say this, I know this has nothing to do with the movie, but my grandmother remembers walking through central park at night in new york city with no worries back in the forties, today, you would be lucky to make it out alive if you spent overnight in that park.
it is a total shame that people, especially thirty and under only want action and special effects nowadays, back then, movies told a story and had a moral to it unlike today. I can only imagine what the next generation is going to be like. It is a shame I sound like an eighty year old man when I am only in my thirties.
@Mikeyboy609 Well it's the endless war of the past against the present.... the present doesn't understand the past...and the past doesn't understand the present or think that the present will never be able to understand its values.
Then the present itself becomes the past....and fights against a new present.... in an endless circle wich no one will be ever able to stop.
when i saw this ending i fellt so stupid lol it was his childhood the whole time. best ending and film in history considering not many good films anymore the only reall good film this year was inception
i think "rosebud" stands for the most important thing and time in life (childhood) and all other characters in this movie also the people kane dealt with during his life are egoistic and ignorant. They tried to found out kane's secret but actually they found out nothing important about kane but what they found out is their own priority and meaning of life: to make money, to have women, to gain possession! because they only consider what THEIR last words would be!! does anyone agree?
@Metalcorer18 Yes. I think it's very brilliant how Kane was negative towards Thatcher, who was a rich man, compared to his poor parents. It's one of the ways the movie displays its moral: "Money can't buy happiness."
I didn't feel that much the first time I watched this movie, except when that sleigh finally came back in, burning, it was devastating. Watched it again-- great movie.
@zook101 no, I tried watching it and was bored to death. Wanted to see the ending. A man with at least moderate intelligence would have figured that out.
@zook101 I disagree. There is a reason movies such as Inception made more then the original Transformers. I think people can recognize a good movie when they see one. All movies deserve their place you can't really criticize someone for watching something else. I do agree Citizen Kane is a filmmakers film. But just because someone doesn't like it doesn't mean we should pander them. At least they're watching movies and supporting an industry.
It's been a while since I've seen the film in its entirety but I couldn't help wondering why such bombastic music was chosen for the reveal of Rosebud. To anyone who's watched it recently... does it feel well suited to that moment? I guess part of me would've preferred a more subtle sound that let the viewer enjoy a quieter moment of awe and revelation.
@Kroy5312 When he came into a fortune, he spent all of his life buying things that didn't mean anything to him - he only wanted it because he had the ability to get it-
@thegreatmuffinkings Dont worry kids grow up and sudentlly transformers type movies become a piece of shiet. But even as a adult a person still needs some inteligence to understand these type of movies try to watch Stanley Kubrick movies he is the greates American director. Sorry for bad English im frome Europe.
Please Jimmy the jelly put a spoiler warning on this i know its obvious but for anyone who has yet to have the pleasure of watching a true american classic should not have it spoiled and zook i agree i am 14 and no one i know could ever sit down to this movie (at least my age) but personally it is my favorite movie
@MarcomasterV1 In the movie, "Rosebud" was his sled as a kid, but to me, it represents the only time in his life when he was truly happy, before he became rich and powerful and then lost it all-
@thegreatmuffinkings Far more interesting than you seem to hold that statement, is *why* you felt you had to put it in words as a comment. Does your pride know no bounds? I care not if I am making a mountain of a pebble here, I'm just so sick and tired of the ego of man. Please take some time sometime and just think how things would be without our sense of integrity, easily offended "rights" or our sense of nationality - which, by the way, was "invented" the first time some hundred years ago.
@sofielundsskolan Europe, where this, one of mankind's most destructive machinations, was at the time engulfed in war time and time again, and the leaders of nations needed their people to feel attached to that which they were ordered to defend, to fend of enemies willingly, without any other payment than that of the dubious "honor" of having protected their country, ultimately only playing straight into the hands of old, greedy men.
I do apologize for this excursion of words on my part.
I wonder, suppose the film takes place in the 2000's. What kind of toys would be thrown in the incinerator? Ps3, Iphone 4, Ipod, laptop computer, Xbox 360, Wii, blackberry, cell phone, Blu Rays, 3d tv ( like it wil fit )? But nobody would consider those things as junk.
It is hard to catch but Kane was on his way to finding Rosebud much earlier in his mother's stuff but choose to meet(or date) his soon to be second wife instead. That was a life changing moment for him. If he had continued on to his mother's few things he would have seen his beloved sled and realized what he really needed out of life. He did realize but by that point it was too late.
i have a problem with old films, although great in it's own right and the plots are amazing. i just cant watch the films, its that graininess in the audio when they talk that doesnt necessarily bore me to death, but i just can't seem to quite concentrate on the dialog. I do have the film on dvd and watched it a bit, and the cinematoraphy is great for its time but as soon as i try to pay attention to whats going on, i get lost.
rosebud stands for kane's childhood he never had. Although he is the most powerful man and has money like shit, he never had a childhood and never was really happy in his life. he realizes that when he dies.
One of the first great movie twists. This is a great movie due to the innovations used in the film making as well as a phenomenal plot. It digs deep into the mind of Charles Foster Kane. It's just a great movie. Yes it's long and slow paced, but if you can look past that, you'll be treated to a great movie.
Notice in the beginning during his childhood how overwhelming and white and pervasive the snow is ("pure as the driven snow") in the scenes/shots..then when he taken away from his parents, he is in a grimy , urban environment, his spirit is destroyed and he tries to reclaim it with what he is lead to believe by soceities fool's gold that will make him whole, and tragically he never regains it
That's what makes the film the greatest..everytime you watch it you see new meaning....
Also note that the music that plays as Rosebud is burning is a minor key, keening variant on the melody that plays as boy Kane is actually playing with Rosebud in the snow. The brief motif that plays right before Rosebud is tossed into the fire as well as the brass chorale that plays as the ashes rise from Xanadu's smokestack are the same motif that has been associated with Kane himself throughout the film.
Still one of my favorite film scores and along with Vertigo, my favorite Herrmann score
he was such a happy kid in the beginning! throughout his life he's been empty without his parents' love+childhood searching for it as an adult when it is too late,,sad ending
@yasinpatel12345 that's also an allusion as to why his last word was "Rosebud" - in the scene where he's outside playing in the snow while his parents are inside the house, planning his future, it was like the beginning of the end for him-
What I find interesting is 1:49 all the things surrounding the sled. Notice anything interesting about the doll, pictures of his parents, newspapers and jigsaw puzzles? All of which were important to him. I'm trying to find more, its really fun. :)
That's the thing about this film, it's very dense, every time you watch it you see something new
Many times critics of Welles say that the reason he never made as many great films as he could have was because of his own ineptitude,. The main reason was much larger..his films enraged people the "owners" if you will for pointing out the truth about life and repression /dysfunction in our culture...Many of welles filsm were subversive to say the least
As a fan of the old TV show, "The Twilight Zone", I can really appreciate this film. In fact, the first episode of "Zone" has a camera shot, set up to emulate a scene from Orson Wells' "The Magnificent Ambersons". In "The Twilight Zone", old dolls, and other memorabilia, can take on a sinister quality, and though "Citizen Kane" is not a horror film, it has a dark tone, obviously. The comment about things thrown into the fire reminded me of this.
The film was voted greatest by Sight and Sound, a british magazine, not he AFI . They also vote on and include foreign films as well, not just american.
The film had many similarities to orson welles life, who lost both of his parents when he was quite young, so he probably had a heavy heart CK deals with a common Shakespearean theme of los of innocence and all it entails......being robbed of childhood, trying to fill the void that is leftover that can never be filled
There is no such thing as the greatest film ever made because everyone has different opinions. Its just an opinion, not a fact. Since when did the American Film Institute have an official say so over whats the best movie ever and whats not? Everyone has their own opinion of the film. If every race, of every culture of every country considers this film the greatest of all time. THEN it would be a fact. until then its just an opinion.
That point of view is completely off the point. Citizen Kane is recognized as the greatest film of all time among film critics, because it is the general opinion in those circles (which doesn't mean that every film critic favors that movie). You can't take every subjective opinion into account, not that it would matter , because it still wouldn't alter the general view.
Yeah, look at all the loot that Orson's character accumulated, yet treated people like crap. At last, we understand the meaning of Rosebud-it was a sleigh that the young Charlie Kane had in his childhood before he was taken away from his parents.
Well, "Greatest" anything polls are never intended to be some absolute, set-in-stone measuring stick...just a guideline towards trends among whatever group is being polled.
And as for the claim that "those polls were taken a long time ago", the American Film Institute's 100 Years 100 Movies poll was conducted twice, in 1997 and 2007, polling 1500 filmmakers, actors, and critics each time...and Kane was polled at #1 each time.
I have absolutely no idea why this movie is considered the best movie ever. And don't try to tell me that it is not. I would bet that it was polled as such because the poll was taken a long time ago. If the poll was taken now a days, i don't know what it would be but it would be different. Like titanic or the dark knight.
I'm 24 and I happen to agree with yodabelly, to some extent at least. One could certainly understand why certain people would enjoy a film like Citizen Kane, while others may not. It's all about perception and your life experiences, and of course culture plays a huge role in that so some of the customs and even movie techniques used in this film may or may not be profoundly effective to some people. Like a comedian's material for instance.
If the subject matter isn't even remotely relative to the audience, then the techniques of the film become ineffective. I hope a bit of that helps out. Again, when I first watched Citizen Kane in the early 90's it didn't do anything for me. Over time I've come to understand the techniques of production through analysis.
It is sad that Orson never got the real change to prove his talent again. That was and still is wrong with Hollywood -commercialism. Silly, dumb films for dumb people.
I see that nowadays there are plenty of people who appreciate the great talent of mr. Welles. I wish you people here merry Christmas!
I think we all have our own Rosebuds. I think when we really look back to our childhood we see and remember something beautiful that is only in our nostalgic dreams.
Incredibly sad...a man's life up in smoke. All that "stuff" left behind, testimony to an insatiable need to fill the void. Thompson is right, though, Rosebud doesn't really "explain" anything...it's just a piece of the puzzle of this great man's life.
This makes you want to give a standing ovation, for every time it concludes.

When he loses his loved one, he has no one to cling to, but THINGS to cling to, his sled, his snowglobe. Think back of the scene Susan's "You never gave me anything that really mattered to you." He gave her the snowglobe. He loved her but crushed his relationship over his obsessions over wealth.

I'm 12, and saw this movie at age 9. It was a great story and had great special effects for it's time, but I don't understand why it's the "greatest movie of all time."
holiboys 5 months ago
@holiboys Well, for 1941, pretty much everything about the film was remarkably ahead of its time. It's noted for its narrative structure (the way the story is told), music (the soundtrack), and cinematography, so it's very original and creative. I really think it's a pity that this film is regarded so much as the greatest film because that means nobody can enjoy the film anymore, they just watch it because of how good it is.
P.S. I'm 12, too. Have this movie on DVD, one of my favorites.

This movie is absolutely brilliant. Notice here as the camera slowly looms towards rosebud, all of Kane's artifacts are stacked in a way to make them look like skyscrapers. They represent his entire life, his entire empire. Most of it is comprised of expensive, exquisite paintings and statues. Yet at the heart, is a crummy old sled, that really meant the most to him.

Such a famous tracking shot--downward pan? (help--directors?). All that 'stuff', it shows, leading to a tragic life. Finally, the sled--lost innocence--the searing (literally) images make one weep for the man. For Cane's parents are as much to blame for his bloated mess of a life as the man himself--& the sled (RB) confirms this. I wonder if there are other tycoons who go through this in their last moments. Mr. Trump has got his feet on the ground, good for him, he won't become a Kane.

True, everyone has different options but if most of those options (51%) and most of the critics agree that this film is the best they have ever seen then that would make this movie the greatest of all time but of course most of the people that watch this movie are already dead and we would not sit at home to watch a movie that looks like shit and because of that most of the people today say that this movie isnt the greatest film of all time.

@TiniNormi The 'meaning' hits me like a hammer every time I see the ending. Everyone who's lived a full life will have their hundreds of different 'Rosebuds', the different memories that seem better the farther they are -- childhood memories that seem so perfect when we're older. To everyone, the final thought before the last breath can only be one, & we'll never know until it happens to us. To Kane it was the perfect pleasures on his sled. We all have many, what will we think of?

i think "rosebud" stands for the most important thing and time in life (childhood) and all other characters in this movie also the people kane dealt with during his life are egoistic and ignorant. They tried to found out kane's secret but actually they found out nothing important about kane but what they found out is their own priority and meaning of life: to make money, to have women, to gain possession! because they only consider what THEIR last words would be!! does anyone agree?

It's been a while since I've seen the film in its entirety but I couldn't help wondering why such bombastic music was chosen for the reveal of Rosebud.

I guess part of me would've preferred a more subtle sound that let the viewer enjoy a quieter moment of awe and revelation.

It is hard to catch but Kane was on his way to finding Rosebud much earlier in his mother's stuff but choose to meet(or date) his soon to be second wife instead. That was a life changing moment for him. If he had continued on to his mother's few things he would have seen his beloved sled and realized what he really needed out of life. He did realize but by that point it was too late.

Notice in the beginning during his childhood how overwhelming and white and pervasive the snow is ("pure as the driven snow") in the scenes/shots..then when he taken away from his parents, he is in a grimy , urban environment, his spirit is destroyed and he tries to reclaim it with what he is lead to believe by soceities fool's gold that will make him whole, and tragically he never regains it
That's what makes the film the greatest..everytime you watch it you see new meaning....
gsixtysix 1 year ago 38
Also note that the music that plays as Rosebud is burning is a minor key, keening variant on the melody that plays as boy Kane is actually playing with Rosebud in the snow. The brief motif that plays right before Rosebud is tossed into the fire as well as the brass chorale that plays as the ashes rise from Xanadu's smokestack are the same motif that has been associated with Kane himself throughout the film.
Still one of my favorite film scores and along with Vertigo, my favorite Herrmann score

As a fan of the old TV show, "The Twilight Zone", I can really appreciate this film. In fact, the first episode of "Zone" has a camera shot, set up to emulate a scene from Orson Wells' "The Magnificent Ambersons". In "The Twilight Zone", old dolls, and other memorabilia, can take on a sinister quality, and though "Citizen Kane" is not a horror film, it has a dark tone, obviously. The comment about things thrown into the fire reminded me of this.
Teflon65 2 years ago
The film was voted greatest by Sight and Sound, a british magazine, not he AFI . They also vote on and include foreign films as well, not just american.
The film had many similarities to orson welles life, who lost both of his parents when he was quite young, so he probably had a heavy heart CK deals with a common Shakespearean theme of los of innocence and all it entails......being robbed of childhood, trying to fill the void that is leftover that can never be filled

There is no such thing as the greatest film ever made because everyone has different opinions. Its just an opinion, not a fact. Since when did the American Film Institute have an official say so over whats the best movie ever and whats not? Everyone has their own opinion of the film. If every race, of every culture of every country considers this film the greatest of all time. THEN it would be a fact. until then its just an opinion.
Diachi26 2 years ago 12
That point of view is completely off the point. Citizen Kane is recognized as the greatest film of all time among film critics, because it is the general opinion in those circles (which doesn't mean that every film critic favors that movie). You can't take every subjective opinion into account, not that it would matter , because it still wouldn't alter the general view.

Well, "Greatest" anything polls are never intended to be some absolute, set-in-stone measuring stick...just a guideline towards trends among whatever group is being polled.
And as for the claim that "those polls were taken a long time ago", the American Film Institute's 100 Years 100 Movies poll was conducted twice, in 1997 and 2007, polling 1500 filmmakers, actors, and critics each time...and Kane was polled at #1 each time.
Read into that what you will....

I have absolutely no idea why this movie is considered the best movie ever. And don't try to tell me that it is not. I would bet that it was polled as such because the poll was taken a long time ago.

I'm 24 and I happen to agree with yodabelly, to some extent at least. One could certainly understand why certain people would enjoy a film like Citizen Kane, while others may not. It's all about perception and your life experiences, and of course culture plays a huge role in that so some of the customs and even movie techniques used in this film may or may not be profoundly effective to some people. Like a comedian's material for instance.

-continued from above-
If the subject matter isn't even remotely relative to the audience, then the techniques of the film become ineffective. I hope a bit of that helps out. Again, when I first watched Citizen Kane in the early 90's it didn't do anything for me. Over time I've come to understand the techniques of production through analysis.
