Though film is practically a visual medium, all it takes is one click to silent the mute content to see how much film depends on…

it’s surprising that I have never seen this infamous film. I had preconceived notions about what it would be like and I thought that I wouldn’t enjoy it. However, the movie was nothing like that I thought it would be and I enjoyed the “behind the scenes” style of film that the director used to show the transition between silent films to talkie.

Kane in class was my first time viewing the film. Personally I disliked the film, mostly because it seemed too long. The story didn't interest me as much, although the ending was amusing. Although the group of reporters never find out what "Rosebud" meant, the audience finds out it relates to the last few memories of playing in the snow before his bank-trustee appointed guardian, Mr Thatcher, takes him away to prepare him for his new isolated life. The film is held with high regard, even 75…
