Citizen Kane Questions 11/17/10

1: I think that all of the different points of view agree with each other. The only different thing would have been between people. I think Kane is still somewhat of a mystery but we get a general idea of what kind of person he was.

2: He wants everyone to love him. He wants love from the readers of his newspaper, from his political supporters, from his second wife, and from life. He buys there love, and that stands in the way. He wasn’t successful in the end. Both his wives left him, and his friend from the newspaper. And he wasn’t elected. He was screwed.

3: He built a newspaper empire in order to reach out to people so that they would love him. He built things for people just to win there love. These things that he built brought him happiness. He got to reach out to people but his staff and eventually readers dont want him. Susan didn’t want to be forced to sing.

4: At the end of the movie, “Rosebud” was a word on his sleigh as a child. The last thing he was doing before he was taken from his family by the banker was playing on his sleigh.

6: For the newspaper, Orson Welles wants to show us that the people of the newspaper lie. Kane wants to let the readers of the inquirer to know that he was going to tell all of the news honestly and after a couple years he goes back.

7: You can see people in the background and know what they do in the other scenes. Also it helps when someone is walking to or from the camera there like getting important or not important.

8: I think that Kane has an urge to collect things because he feels that he had so much taken away from him early in his life. At a young age he was taken away from the things that attracted him. So he was happy to have all these things again.

10: I think that Kane did these things to himself. So i dont feel bad for him. He made people not like him, he tried to buy people’s love. So he deserved he to lose everything.
