someone should write a sequel where Kane comes back from the dead as a zombie and call it Night of the Living Citizen Kane.
It`s odd how discussion of Kane brings out the bashing urge in some people on these threads. With the exception of The Matrix, I like every film mentioned in this thread--I had The Third Man on last night, actually.
The story that `Rosebud` refers to the unmentionables of Marion Davies is one that`s never convinced me, though of course I`ve heard it. In the movie it is a reference to the sled, of course, and the more private reference, if true, really doesn`t matter. While Kane doesn`t have as many of the traditional `likable` characters of Hollywood movies, it has compelling, interesting ones. As I age, the Kane characters are more pertinent to real life than 99% of movie characters.
