I agree that the "Rosebud" Sled was a very intriguing element of the film Citizen Kane. Throughout the entire movie I had no idea that his last words could be about something so simple, but by the end of the movie I could not see his final words being anything else. It's incredible to think that through Charles Foster Kane's whole life he was chasing such a simple concept of happiness and could not grasp it, no matter how hard he tried. I found it intersting that the during the movie the lead reporter never thinks to trace back to his early childhood, but only thought to look for things that Kane interacted with after he had all of his money. The "Rosebud" sled does not only represent what Kane valued, but it showed what everyone else
