DVD Reviews of Citizen Kane (Two-Disc Special Edition)
DVD Review: Not very good...
Summary: 2 Stars
It starts like a horror movie, exemplified by dying Kane's melodramatic uttering of "Rosebud". It tells the story of Hearst-like character in flashbacks. His early successes ( the fact is that he was already rich to start with), marriage to a boring woman, his failure to win an election because of his devotion to his mistress and then I stopped watching, reminded me of those boring Lenin documentaries' that I watched as a kid in Soviet Russia - given that I had no choice and one Channel to reckon on with. Again you are fooled by stupid people who for reasons best known to them call a tabby cat ( Citizen Kane) a Lion ( any Satyajit Ray movie). Hearst was right to oppose this garbage, I would too, since it is so boring. It aint worth my two stars, but today I feel kind!!! DVD Review: A classic!
Summary: 5 Stars

Remerber watching as a child and was not dissapointed to sit through it again. The film making genius of Orsen Welles is second to none. The 2nd disc, a documentery about Mr. Welles and the making of the film is a can't miss for fim buffs.DVD Review: Unique
Summary: 2 Stars
Ah, the sled. Not really sure why this movie is rated so high among the historical films, but what do i know? I just watch what the AFI tells me to.DVD Review: The best film ever?
Summary: 5 Stars
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 enjoyed every last second of it.
If you were expecting an adventure through the mountains and woods there's no doubt that you hated it. But, if you enjoy a trek through the secrets of the human mind, then this film is right up your alley.
And, for Pete's sake, don't desire to see Star Wars in everything.
The work in this film creation is astonishing in 2008. In 1941 it would have been state of the art. In fact, it's hard to believe the film wasn't made in 2008. It's clearly ahead of it's time.
Description of Citizen Kane (Two-Disc Special Edition)
A fascinating story of idealism corrupted by wealth Citizen Kane is frequently named the greatest film of all time and is credited with inspiring more directorial careers than any other film in history. Orsen Welles and Agnes Moorehead star.Running Time: 119 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA UPC:?053939656527 Manufacturer No:?T6565DVDArguably 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
