1940. Alone at his fantastic estate known as Xanadu, 70-year-old Charles Foster Kane dies, uttering only the single word Rosebud. So ends the odyssey of a life ... and begins a fabulous tale of the rise to wealth and power--and ultimate fall--of a complex man: A boy abandoned by his parents inherits a fortune, builds a global newspaper empire and aspires to become President of the United States, but he loses everything over an affair with an untalented nightclub singer. This fascinating story unfolds through the eyes of the people important to the tycoon—each showing a different aspect of Citizen Kane. Frequently regarded as the best American film ever made; winner of an Academy Award® for Best Writing, Original Screenplay; and nominated for an additional eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor.

Citizen Kane Film Synopsis

Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.

Unconquerably great! Rewards re-watching!You may have heard that this is one of the greatest American movies or THE greatest ever made. It is - visually, artistically beautiful with 'every frame worth noting' - audios, with overlapping dialogue - narratively, with a story told about one man by several of his friends or foes - but also an enjoyable and entertaining film, which not all "greatest ever" films can claim (Battleship Potemkin and 2001: A Space Odyssey are great films but I don’t enjoy them much as entertainment). Orson Welles is also such a great actor, his bigger than life persona fills the role perfectly. He’s also a great writer and director, and rightly deserves all the credit he gets, despite what Pauline Kael has written about his not doing much of the screenplay. Bravo! Try as DePalma, Coppola and Scorsese do, they've yet to match let alone top this one. Only, see it in a theater on a big screen if you can, it's such a great visual film it needs a big view..Score: 5/5

Better than expectedI had to watch this movie for my art class, and it was much better than what I thought it would be. I especially love how it ended..Score: 4/5

What can I say?Well obviously looking at the stars you can clearly tell that I really liked this movie. Why? Not just because the movie has amazing camera effects thru out the film, but just the fact that Orson Welles is able to play at age 25-85 and stay believable through out the whole film..Score: 5/5

The Film Deserves Its CreditsSpeaking as a previous film studies student in high school and as a filmmaking aficionado and future director, I can honestly say that "Citizen Kane" and its extraordinary director, Orson Welles, has had a considerable impact on my style and my thoughts for a career in film. The movie is beautifully crafted and put together extremely well, and its story structure of portraying a tycoon; an average human being with tremendous influence, portrayed from the many points of view of the people who knew him best; his dark sides and his kindness, endures as an engaging storytelling device. Although it might not be an action, sci-fi or horror "zombie" flick that's popular in today's cinema, "Citizen Kane" and its foreboding message has endured over eight decades since 1941: a riveting fictional biography of a man, a tragic protagonist who ultimately succumbs to monotonous greed and ego. I highly recommend this movie, as it is indeed the greatest film ever made..Score: 5/5

A "Nagy ember" William Randolph Hearst volt, az Aranypolgár pedig alig leplezhető gúnyrajz a század első, hihetetlen hatalommal bíró sajtómágnásáról."Rózsabimbó" - ez az utolsó szava a palotájában magányosan haldokló milliomosnak, s ezen a nyomon indul el egy újságíró, hogy megfejtse e páratlan karriert befutott ember titkát. A főszereplő Charles Foster Kane, aki arra született, hogy nagy ember legyen. Egyszerű emberként indult, de kis szerencsével mindig felismerte a környezetében lévő lehetőségeket és képes volt azt saját hasznára fordítani. Újságjai voltak, rádióállomásai, a közvélemény kiszolgálója és befolyásolója volt. Kane története, aki alulról kapaszkodott fel és ezt "elfelejtette", egy csapásra mindent elveszített. Magányosan halt meg - pedig halhatatlannak tűnt -, és vele együtt gazdagsága, hatalma és dicsősége is.

Türkçe
Zengin medya patronu Charles Foster Kane kendi özel şatosu Xanadu'da ölür. Ölürken son söz olan Rosabud'u fısıldar. Bütün gazetelerde Kane ile ilgili değişik hayat hikayeleri yayınlanır. Genç bir gazeteci Kane'nin son sözünün ne anlama geldiğini araştırmak için görevlendirilir. Gazeteci Kane'nin yakınlarıyla iletişime geçer. Biz de Kane'nin geçmişine tanık oluruz. Bu bireysel hikaye aynı zamanda mükemmelliyetçiliğin ve otoriter yönetimin hazin sonuçlarını da göstermektedir.

»Rosebud« - das ist das letzte Wort, das Charles Foster Kane im Sterbebett auf seinem Schloss Xanadu haucht. "Citizen Kane" schildert die Geschichte des Zeitungsmagnaten, der die öffentliche Meinung Amerikas über Jahrzehnte beherrschte. Sein geschäftliches Leben begann mit viel Enthusiasmus und dem Bekenntnis zur Wahrheit und Unbestechlichkeit. Dann kam der Erfolg, mit ihm Ehrgeiz und schließlich, als er diesen nicht befriedigt sah, die Loslösung von seinen Prinzipien hin zur Korruption durch Macht. Der Reporter Jerry Thompson versucht, mehr über diesen geheimnisvollen Mann zu erfahren...

suomi
Citizen Kane on ensimmäinen Orson Wellesin ohjaama elokuva. Se perustuu löyhästi sanomalehtimagnaatti William Randolph Hearstin elämään. Tuotantovaiheessa elokuva tunnettiin koodinimellä RKO 281. Elokuvaa on esitetty Suomessa myös nimillä Kansalainen Kane, Citizen Kane – sensaatioiden mies ja Himo. Citizen Kane on toistuvasti valittu äänestyksissä maailman parhaaksi elokuvaksi. Muun muassa elokuvalehti Sight & Soundin vuonna 2002 järjestämässä äänestyksessä sekä elokuvakriitikot että -ohjaajat valitsivat Citizen Kanen elokuvahistorian parhaaksi elokuvaksi. Parhaan elokuvan Oscar elokuvan ilmestymisvuonna myönnettiin kuitenkin elokuvalle Vihreä oli laaksoni.

美国报业大亨凯恩在桑拿都庄园中留下“玫瑰花蕾”的“遗言”死去后,一位青年记者受媒体的委托调查这四个字的含义,遂即,他走访了凯恩生前的同事好友,从报社董事长伯恩斯坦的口中,了解到凯恩的发迹历程以及如何制造舆论使美国卷入1897年的战争中的往事,从利兰的讲述中,凯恩与美国总统的侄女爱米丽的婚姻、与第二任妻子(歌手)苏珊的复杂关系及在总统竞选中的失败等等也被他一一所知。 听过大量的讲述后,该记者又去图书馆查阅了有关凯恩的详尽资料,凯恩更多的一面,青年时代的经历及与母亲的关系也被他知晓,然而,“玫瑰花蕾”四字的含义,他仍不得而知。

Český
Neposlušné dítě Hollywoodu Orson Welles natáčel toto legendární drama, které se stalo milníkem ve vývoji filmové řeči i vypravěčských postupů, již ve svých pětadvaceti letech. Welles svou režijní prvotinu pojal jako rekonstrukci osudů fiktivního magnáta Kanea, sestavovanou novinářem - využívá k tomu filmové týdeníky, rozmluvy s pamětníky atd. Postupně upřesňovaný obraz titulního hrdiny ztrácí svou původní gloriolu - ukazuje se, že peníze a moc ještě nezaručují štěstí. Občan Kane vzbudil v době svého uvedení skandál, protože tiskový magnát miliardář William Randolph Hearst vztáhl vyprávěný příběh na sebe... Z devíti nominací na Oscara v roce 1941 získal film sice jen jednu (za scénář, na němž spolupracoval sám Welles s Hermanem J. Mankiewiczem), ale od té doby suverénně vítězí v mnoha prestižních anketách nejrespektovanějších světových kritiků.

Український
Основою фільму є життєвий шлях медіа-магната Чарльза Фостера Кейна, який пройшов від ідеалістичного «служіння суспільству» до безжальної гонитви за владою. На початку фільму Кейн помирає у своєму величезному маєтку, стискаючи в руках кришталеву кулю й вимовляючи слова «трояндовий бутон» (англ. Rosebud). Молодому репортерові доручено написати нарис про таємниці минулого Кейна, про його шлях до слави й багатства. Він розкопує багато загадкового й кримінального, але таємниця останніх слів так і залишається нерозкритою для нього (глядачам ця таємниця відкривається наприкінці фільму). Історія життя Кейна розповідається, в основному, у ретроспективних епізодах.

Kiedy 76-letni Charles Foster Kane, magnat prasowy, na łożu śmierci wypowiada jedno, jedyne słowo, "Różyczka", wszyscy zgromadzeni w ogromnym zamku Kane'a Xanadu popadają w konsternację. Nawet przeprowadzona przez grupę dziennikarzy wnikliwa analiza kronik filmowych nie daje odpowiedzi na pytanie, co oznacza owa enigmatyczna "Różyczka". Ani w życiu publicznym Kane'a, ani jego życiu towarzyskim i zawodowym nie można znaleźć rozwiązania dręczącej wszystkich zagadki. Jeden z reporterów postanawia rozszyfrować znaczenie tego słowa.

svenska
Orson Welles tidlösa berättelse "Citizen Kane" är inte bara ett stycke filmhistoria utan också storslagen underhållning och en hård uppgörelse med den amerikanska drömmen. Året är 1940 och tidningsmagnaten Charles Foster Kane dör i sin säng på sin enorma men halvfärdiga egendom Xanadu. Han sista ord är det kryptiska "Rosebud" och en hugad journalist vid namn Thompson beslutar att ta reda på vad detta betyder. Thompson söker upp Kanes gamla vänner och ovänner och får på så vis Kanes hela liv berättat för sig.

Română
Cetățeanul Kane este o satiră a primului magnat de presă cu o carieră de neegalat din acest secol. Personajul principal este Charles Foster Kane, care s-a născut pentru a fi un om mare. A început ca o persoană simplă, dar cu puțin noroc, a recunoscut mereu oportunitățile din mediul său și a putut să le folosească în avantajul său. Avea ziare, posturi de radio și era un om cu influență al opiniei publice. Povestea lui Kane, care s-a ridicat de jos și a „uitat” acest lucru, a pierdut totul dintr-o lovitură. A murit singur – chiar dacă părea nemuritor – și odată cu el bogăția, puterea și gloria.

български език

Те разказват спомените си и разкриват части от живота на Кейн, но не достатъчно, за да бъде разгадана гатанката на сетния му дъх.

סרטו הראשון של אורסון וולס מספר על חייו של צ'ארלס פוסטר קיין (וולס), נער המאומץ על ידי בנקאי ועולה לגדולה כאיל עיתונות. הסרט מתחיל במותו של קיין וסוקר את חייו דרך תחקירו של עיתונאי (וויליאם אלנד) המחפש את המשמעות למילתו האחרונה של קיין: "רוזבאד". הוא מראיין אנשים שהיו קרובים אליו (כמה שיכל מישהו להיות קרוב למגלומן שכמותו). את התשובה הוא לא מוצא אבל אנחנו כן. הסרט נחשב על ידי מבקרים ובמאים רבים כסרט הטוב ביותר שנעשה אי פעם ונחשב כעל ההשפעה הקולנועית הגדולה ביותר על הקולנוע המודרני. הסרט קשה לעיכול ודורש צפיות חוזרות על מנת לתפוס את מירב עוצמתו הטכנית והקולנועית של הסרט ובעיקר של וולס.

Português
Charles Foster Kane foi um menino pobre que acaba se tornando um dos homens mais ricos do mundo. O filme inicia com a sua morte, momentos antes da qual pronuncia a palavra "Rosebud". Após dias de sensacionalismo em cima da notícia de sua morte, o jornalista Jerry Thompson é enviado por seu chefe para investigar a vida de Kane, a fim de descobrir o sentido de sua última palavra, a qual ninguém sabia. Entrevistando pessoas do passado de Kane, o jornalista mergulha na vida de um homem solitário, que desde a infância é obrigado a seguir a vontade alheia. Ninguém a seu redor importa-se com Kane, que busca por meio da aquisição de bens a adoração das pessoas. Ao final, Thompson, após a exaustiva investigação da vida de Kane através de entrevistas, se vê incapaz de descobrir o significado da palavra, concluindo que "Charles Foster Kane foi um homem que possuiu tudo o que quis e depois perdeu tudo. Talvez Rosebud seja algo que ele nunca tenha possuído ou algo que tenha perdido".

Vijest da je u svom raskošnom dvorcu Xanadu na Floridi umro glasoviti tajkun Charles Foster Kane izuzetno uzburka američku javnost i medije. Doznavši da je pokojnik umro osamljen te da su mu posljednje riječi bile "ružin pupoljak", gospodin Rawlston, urednik jednih njujorških novina, na mjesto događaja smjesta pošalje skupinu svojih novinara sa zadatkom da doznaju što više pikantnih detalja o Kaneovu životu. Među njima je i Jerry Thompson, reporter koji odluči razgovarati s najbližim prijateljima i suradnicima čovjeka kojeg neki mediji posmrtno proglašavaju komunistom pa i fašistom. Thompson odluči razgovarati s Kaneovim menadžerom Bernsteinom, drugom suprugom Susan Alexander, s Kaneovim skrbnikom i bankarom Walterom Parksom Thatcherom, s najboljim prijateljem i kolegom Jedediahom Lelandom te postupno slaže sliku o pokojniku. A Kane je bio sve samo ne jednostavan čovjek...

Moby Dick summary, synopsis, reviews
Moby DickAction & Adventure1956

John Huston's 1956 Moby Dick remains admirably faithful to its source. Though slightly intimidated by the sermon delivered by Father Mapple (Orson Welles in a brilliant one-take cameo), who warns that those who challenge the sea are in danger of losing their souls, Ishmael nonetheless signs on to the Pequod, a whaling ship captained by the brooding, one-legged Ahab (Gregory Peck). In an obsessive pursuit of Moby Dick, the great white whale to whom he lost his leg, Ahab's dementia spreads throughout the crew members, who maniacally join their captain in his final, fatal attack upon the elusive, enigmatic Moby Dick.

Casino Royale (1967)Comedy1967

Retired after years of international espionage, Agent 007 is lured back into action to battle the evil spy organization SMERSH in this parody of the James Bond films. David Niven portrays the aging Bond, who atypically rejects the advances of a variety of women, and agrees to battle SMERSH's hold on the lavish Casino Royale only after organization head M is murdered. Also mixed up in the affair are several other secret agents, all named James Bond, played by everyone from Peter Sellers and Woody Allen to a chimpanzee. A witty, zany parody of Bond, James Bond that perfectly captures the freewheeling spirit of the late 1960s.
