“The more you see the more you know and the more you know the more you will see,” that is what our textbook author, Lester, said. It combines great with the movie that we saw in the class, “.” I truly agree with that statement, as we see something more than one time, and we learn more about it, we understand and see more of interesting things that never appeared to us at first. I actually, have heard about “Citizen Kane,” however I never had a chance to see it. Mainly because I am not a big fun of black and white movies, but when I get to see them I find them very fascinating.
They all have hidden tricks in them, that at first we probably won’t see, but when we look into the history of the movie we are excited to watch it over again and look for them. Now, that I have read the two articles, I am more ecstatic to see the movie again and look for the hidden tricks. When it comes to “Rosebud,” I understood it as the symbol of Kane’s successful career, and that he had everything that he wanted, but he never looked happy, because he lost his childhood for all of that. As I read the first article, the viewers’ companion to the Citizen Kane, I was surprised what “rosebud” meant, I would ” ve never thought of that. Plus it doesn’t even go with the plot of the movie. Going back to the quote, as we will see the movie again we will have some knowledge about it now, and we will see more things that we haven’t seen at the first time.
Since I have read the articles, and I know more about the history and tricks of the movie, I am looking forward in seeing it again.
