Citizen Kane

Citizen Kane- PG

By Jonathan Goodsell

Citizen Kane is considered by many to be the greatest movie ever made.And while I wouldn't say the greatest, it is definitely up very high on the list. Starring and directed by Orson Welles, Citizen Kane is the story of Mr. Kane as he grows a newspaper company into a massive industry. The story is told in flashbacks as a reporter, after the death of Kane, tries to figure out the meaning of Kane's last words.

This film was rather stunning to watch. Orson Welles did an excellent job depicting the conflicted Kane. His direction of the film was also really well done. The plot was thick and really well thought through. It left you wondering what was next and kept you watching throughout. Part of it was kind of confusing though, at parts you wondered where in the world it was taking you, or what it had anything to do with the plot. But in the last ten seconds of film when it all wrapped up, everything came together and it all made sense. Once that happens, you see why it's considered one of the greatest movies of all time. At least that's when the feeling finally hit me. 

This movie was completely clean, no language, no violence, and no inappropriate scenes. It's a little dramatic at parts, but other than that there is no problems with this movie.Though even though it's perfectly clean, it's not a movie that would interest kids, they would get bored in five minutes flat.So if your looking for a good family show, look somewhere else.

It doesn't surprise me that this movie is considered one of the best ever, it is excellently made.It's definitely worth seeing once. So in my reviewer opinion, Citizen Kane gets a classically deserved 9/10
