Citizen Kane

In class we watched the film Citizen Kane which is a story about a man who comes from nothing and is made into a  wealthy newspaper owner. The film starts with a scene of Kane dying and staying his last word, "Rosebud". The rest of the film takes place in the past and is pretty much a review of his life and trying to find the meaning of "Rosebud". Before we started to watch this movie i was very unsure if i would enjoy watching it or not. i mainly didnt think i would like it because it was an old film that is in black and white. After watching it i realize that it was a decent movie that had very well put together cinematic elements. I believe that most of the reason i liked the film was because i was focusing on what he had previously learned in class, that being how the movie was film, lighting etc...
