Citizen Kane - Pespective of a modern Student

                 CITIZEN KANE - PUT INTO PRESPECTIVE

Presented to me in my media studies class was the film
Citizen Kane, it wasn't quite a Michael Bay movie, but
for a 1941 film it kept me enticed and interested. It
honestly is one of the only black and white films other
than "To Kill a MockingBird" that I have wanted to
continue watching and has kept me from falling asleep. 
Although it had its strenuous dialogue filled scenes, it was still, with the music, action, and story line the most modern 1940's film you'll ever see.   The best thing to do before you watch his film is research up on the actually story, (yes it is based off some real events, which is why it stirred up some controversy).

                                                                  

The real story is based upon a man named William Randle Herste (played by Orson welles) , a millioaire news paper owner that changed the world of media, his 1920's era paper "the inquirer" is the reason angelina jolies weight is more important than starvation and murder.  This movie was Almost shut down during its time, yet it lived, and thrust itself into the position of practically one of the best films of all time.
