After watching Citizen Kane for the first time last Thursday I found myself thinking really that was it! They open the movie with great shoots of the monumental home of Charles Foster Kane Xanadu which looks to be a scene that was taken from the film Psycho. As the movie went on it was hard for me to keep my interest because within the first thirty minutes I felt like I knew everything thing I need to know about Charles Foster Kane. A boy that was desperately seeking the love and affection from people that he had been looking for all his life because his mother gave him away and the only affection his father gather him was in the form of a whipping of the belt. I notice as the film went on that they way the director shot wells with the camera was noticeably changing. For example when he was younger the light was very bright and when standing with his business associates everyone seemed the same height. As he grew older and the need for affection from people grew the lighting become darker and Wells took on more of a mostertive look and feel to his character. He portrayed peer evil in his eyes and in his voice and he look as if he was the largest man in the room. In closing I enjoyed watching how the camera captured the evolution of Kane it changed through the film but found the film hard to sit through but would recommend that you see it at least once if you call yourself a movie buff.
