Some called him a hero...others called him a heel.
Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, 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.
barackobama8.7July 27, 2026I liked the use of shadows and angles. I have a feeling lots of men watched this film and take away the wrong things, the same way some men idolize Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. Seeing some similarities between Lina Lamont in Singing in the Rain with Susan Alexander. Took me 3 tries to watch this bc I kept falling asleep on my American Airlines flights but finally made it through
