Similarities Between
Citizen Kane (1941) is a movie about the life of Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles) told through the eyes and stories of close friends and distant ones. We never see Kane's life through the eyes of Kane. We watch as reporter, Thompson investigates the meaning of Kane's last word; Rosebud. "What does it mean?"Citizen Kane follows a plot that does not run chronologically from the start of Kane's life to the end of his life, but rather bounces around his personal timeline told from one person to the next, much like the movie, Memento (2000). Rather than telling the whole life story of a man from beginning to end, we follow Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) as he tracks down the man responsible for the murder of his wife. Through a unique use of filming color camerawork to black and white camerawork. The editing sequence follows as such: the end is at the beginning to minutes before the next scene. If one is confused already, one must watch this film.As we start to pick apart the elements and styles of Citizen Kane we start the film with a look at Xanadu (Kane's mansion). All through the credits we see different angles of this mansion, but if we are to focus on the little bedroom light in the top right corner, we notice that the lig
Leland explains how the marriage of Kane to the President of the United States' niece, Emily Norton (Ruth Warrick) deteriorates also. There is no better way to condense a man's life than to jump twenty years, but to do it under 30 seconds shows this unique style to be needed in this film. We see a campaign hall filled with people and a super huge picture of Kane. Bernstein (Everett Sloan), and Jed Leland (Joseph Cotton) are comparing circulation of the two main newspapers; the Inquirer and the Chronicle. We watch the men leave, and we follow a crane propelled camera through Kane's enormous collection of statues, till we as viewers find out what 'Rosebud' is or means. The door fades into a newspaper headline from the Chronicle, with the faces of Kane and Susan in connecting hearts. and a Happy New Year!" By the time we get through this saying, we have jumped twenty years in Kane's life. This scene is the most accredited to the use of deep-focus cinematography. Such a framework that was original for this movie at this time to do. This is the only time in the movie that we see Kane's life through a chronological timeline. Kane is at a table signing Charles over to Thatcher. To follow our popular use of deep focus cinematography, we once again see another use of this. As we soon notice, we notice that we are watching the film backwards, as the picture dilutes, and we see Teddy (Joe Pantilano) get shot in the back of the head by Shelby. Because of his hardships with his wife and his business, Kane meets Susan Alexander (Dorothy Comingore), an amateur opera singer. Through a consistency of bad reviews and a dying marriage, Susan tries to commit suicide.
