Summary
Orson Welles reinvented movies at the age of 26 with this audacious biography of newspaper baron Charles Foster Kane, which, in essence, was a thinly veiled portrait of publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst. Welles's complex and technically stunning film chronicles Kane's rise from poverty to become one of America's most influential men -- and it's considered one of the best movies ever made.

Rated:ExcellentNo wonder it's one of the best films ever made. You watch and feel all the influence it had on other films. Interesting directing.

Rated:GoodAn epic tale about one of the earliest media moguls. A good movie, but frankly, it's pretty overrated. (And yes, Rosebud is his sledge.) -
