Citizen Kane is not only a movie. It is also an EVENT movie. In a class by itself, it redefined what the art of movie making was all about. It’s hard to find any flaws with it, being in it’s acting, producing, directing, or any other aspect. It is a movie that broke all the rules and created some of it’s own. The only movie ever made that must be seen by anyone who is even remotely interested in watching movies.

I absolutely agree with its placement as the greatest American film. This film is the prime example of brilliant film making: great directing, great plot development, perhaps the greatest ending in film history. Orson Welles not only playing Charles Foster Kane, he played Kane from a young optimistic newspaperman to a old man at the end of the road. Welles is master at his work, and he left an incredible act to follow. The only films to be considered nearly as great are the Godfatehr and Casablanca, but even those films have flaws that Citizen Kane paved over.
