up – close with “Rosebud”

citizen kane?

then?what about that?

well, it’s just one of those black and white movies of the ancient American film era..

hahaha!!!what an attempt to under estimate it..

just a trivia, didn’t you know that it earned awards from critical spectators.

anyway, all in one, director and star actor, Mr. Welles, the “genius” beyond the Citizen Kane, was thouroughly, rigidly, and all those well-evaluated adjectives that would best describe the analysis provided by our professor for our discussion..

all those camera movements, facial expressions, over-all acting, lighting, special effects, etc, were elaborated from the most important concept up to the tiniest details.

however, i humbly say, that though almost, but, the key to were the whole story evolves, was not nearly completely discussed.

what about it anyway?

basically, the story ran through flashback of the scenes involving the life of the main actor, Charles Foster Kane, initiated by a writer, who began to wonder what was the last word Kane uttered before he died, which was “Rosebud”,has something to do with his death.

will it unleashed something?

according to the analysis given to us, the word “Rosebud” was really has nothing to do with he story, however..

based to what i read, in the book of David K. Thompson, “film art”, “Rosebud”, was the word written at the back of  the sleigh owned by Mr. Kane during his childhood years. it was given to him as a Christmas present by Thatcher, who adapted him in an early age of nine.

nearly to death, he then remembered the sleigh with the “Rosebud”, which according to Thompson, he uttered to show that he remebered his youth as he longed for his free-spirited life before that was being taken away from him.

suppressed to all his chilhood stuffs, including his favorite past-time, playing in the snow, he grew up facing all the poosible dooms and failures in life. he then cherished the memories he had, and he wished to have even before his last breath.
