Amazon.com essential video:
Arguably the greatest of American films, Orson Welles's 1941 masterpiece, made when he was only 26, still unfurls like a dream and carries the viewer along the mysterious currents of time and memory to reach a mature (if ambiguous) conclusion: people are the sum of their contradictions, and can't be known easily. Welles plays newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane, taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. The result is that every well-meaning or tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event. Written by Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz, and photographed by Gregg Toland, the film is the sum of Welles's awesome ambitions as an artist in Hollywood. He pushes the limits of then-available technology to create a true magic show, a visual and aural feast that almost seems to be rising up from a viewer's subconsciousness. As Kane, Welles even ushers in the influence of Bertolt Brecht on film acting. This is truly a one-of-a-kind work, and in many ways is still the most modern of modern films from the 20th century. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - The best film ever?
It's the best I've ever seen.Why?Because it enters a world of psychology in a unique and powerful way.It exposes the selfish tyrant that lies in all of us.Do we not all do what we do for "I?"What drives us to be what we become?What is our most basic need, our most primal desire?
This film deals with these things in a visceral experience of entertainment.This film had to be quite a risk for 1941 but it's clear that it could not have been any better if made in 2001.I thoroughly ... Read More
Rating: - still number 1
No matter how many times I have seen Welles's film, I continue to be impressed. Its acting, directing,and writing keep the story moving. Even knowing what "rosebud" is by now makes no difference. It is always worth watching. The second video, the battle Hearst waged against the film, was also fascinating. Quality service. Thanks !
Rating: - I really enjoyed this movie...
I thought "Citizen Kane" was well acted and well written and produced.It is a glimpse into the life of "a big American", as Thompson's boss Rawlston pointed out, but ultimately it is a story of how consumed we can become by our own demons if we allow them to overtake us.Kane could be seen as a hypocrite--championing the workingman and fighting for his interests, while at the same time employing the tactics of those he rails against (the rich, privileged, and powerful).But at heart, he is just a man ...

Rating:  - Just okay
I hardly think this is the best film ever made.It's too gimmicky by half.The script isn't all that wonderful and I feel the Rosebud thing was a disappointment.It looks and feels like a magician show.Money can't buy you love-but if it can get you 9 out of 10 things in life-that ain't bad.Buy a dog.They love unconditionally.If you curious to see what all the hype is about or if you're studying film-then it's worth seeing.
Rating: - Pleased
The quality of the DVD's are really good.I studied this movie as part of a "Film" elective study and it brought back the good memories.We didn't have the benefit of the 2nd disk in those days.Really interesting for those who love the movie making industry.
