Citizen Kane

While watching Citizen Kane, I have noticed how the acting in this movie is much better than All Quiet on the Western Front as the characters react to each other's lines and cut off one another at the perfect timing. The whole news reel at the beginning of the film adds mystery and suspense to the film as it foreshadows the future events in the film. The suspense for finding out what rosebud is keeps me interested in the movie and looking for possible clues in every scene. The main themes of materialism and theme are starting to show in the movie as Kane starts to lose both his wealth and power after the scandal with the "singer". I look forward to more suspenseful scenes in the movie.
