Citizen Kane

If some of you are unaware of the movie "Citizen Cane" it was driected by Orson Welles. It was about a very rich man named Charles Foster Kane's who was unhappy with his life although he could have anything he wanted all he really wanted was his childhood back. He couldn't find love or keep a wife and lived miserably even though he was very successfull.

What I enjoyed about the story was the message that it portrayed, that money doesn't buy happiness. You can buy all the fancy things in the world but you cant buy love or friendship and this movie showed that exactly. Citizen Kane spent loads of money on fancy things, but was miserable because he had no true friends or no love in his life. At some points in the movie you can't help but feel sorry for him ,although he was a huge jerk, everyone deserves love and friendships.
 
Something that was very interesting about the movie was that the man who made the movie, Orson Welles, lived a very similar life. They both grew up with rough childhoods, and grew up tp become very rich and successfull, but could never find love or friendship and ended up living lonely lives. I think Orson Welles tried to recreate his life through this movie.
