New Review: Citizen Kane (1941) [3.5]

I had to finally take a look at the alledged and so called greatest movie and what was voted in AFI's 100 as the #1 film, Citizen Kane. I won't say I am not a fan of black/white movies, there are a few good ones. The title made no sense and all I heard about this one is two things. It was appparently, loosely based on newspaper tycoon William Randolph Heart and the infamous Rosebud line that also made top's in AFI's great movies lines. Well during and after watching it, I started to wonder and become curious why certain films were picked for the top 10 of all time. It was story and structure. Citizen Kane did have that. Very lousy set of actors but they tried to deliver. For a movie to make sense wouldn't be a historic. I gave Citizen a 3.5, worth watching again. Not sure about purchasing. You'd have to watch this a few times for it to make sence and figure it out. The last half of movie was research into what Kane's last words meant, "Rosebud". After a while I began to think it was something to do with his childhood. His life became when he was ripped from his parents and that started with the swinging and punching the man with his sled.
