Image from: http://www.takegreatpictures.com/content/images/citizen_kane_4.jpgI really enjoyed this film. However, I felt that this film required some previous knowledge of the background and history of the film before it could be enjoyed or appreciated. Had I not known what the repercussions of the film were both for Orson Welles and and Hearst, I do not feel as if I would have been able to appreciate the film. Even so, I simply enjoyed the film in terms of aesthetic delight.
I really liked a lot of the different artistic aspects of this movie. I agree with Professor Maness when he said that it seemed as though the camera men and individuals who worked on this film really enjoyed it. I could feel that they enjoyed working on this film through what they produced on the screen. For a movie created in the 1940’s, I felt that this movie was really up to date and almost had a modern feel to it.
In all, I really enjoyed Citizen Kane. I cannot say I would consider this the best movie created, but I definitely would watch it again to really get a feel for the film and an even better appreciation for it.
