Okay, so, about this “Kane v” thing, I gotta say it wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. I mean, the whole idea was to figure out how this “Citizen Kane” movie worked, right? I started by watching the darn thing. Not just once, but a couple of times. I wanted to really get what was going on.
The first thing I did was try to understand the order of events. You know, “Citizen Kane” isn’t like other movies where everything goes from A to B to C. It’s all mixed up! So, I started making notes. Lots of notes. Like, “Okay, this scene happens, then we jump back to this other thing, and then forward again.” It was a mess, but I had to figure it out.
I grabbed a big piece of paper and started drawing lines and boxes, making a timeline of sorts. I even used different colored pens, no joke. It looked like a crazy person’s art project, but it helped! I started to see how the pieces fit together.
- I also focused on this “Rosebud” thing.
- What’s the deal with that word, right?
- It pops up at the beginning and the end, so I knew it had to be important.
- I started looking for clues in every scene, every conversation, trying to figure out the mystery.
Then I started reading stuff about the movie. Articles, reviews, you name it. Some people said it was all about power, others said it was about lost love. I was like, “Can’t it be both?”
And you know what? I also started talking to people about it. My friends, my family, even some random people online. I wanted to hear what they thought. Some of them had seen the movie, some hadn’t, but everyone had an opinion. It was like being a detective, gathering evidence and trying to solve the case.
My Conclusion
After all that, I finally came to a conclusion. “Citizen Kane” is a puzzle. It’s not about giving you all the answers on a silver platter. It’s about making you think, making you work for it. And that “Rosebud” thing? It’s not just a word. It’s a symbol. A symbol of everything Kane lost, everything he could never get back. It was a long and confusing journey, but hey, I think I finally cracked the code. Or at least, that’s my take on it.
