"Citizen Kane is cited as a great film for its cinematography, symbolism, and message-all things that do not interest most film goes today. If you were to show Citizen Kane to a random bunch of people today, nobody would care." I agree with this statement, because Citizen Kane is a more old fashioned film that is centered around the main character's loss of childhood. The backbone of the film is reporters trying to figure out what rosebud means. We find out at the end that rosebud refers to the sled he had when he was a child. The message of the film being that childhood is very important to the way we grow and who we become. The sled is also a symbol, of innocents and joy. When he leaves his parents his innocents and joy are left behind and he is never able to recover from this loss. Messages and symbols like this are no longer looked as much in films. Now people are much more interested in special effects and violence, so I agree with the quote that now a days people really wouldn't care.
