Citizen Kane: Film Analysis

The film Citizen Kane by Orson Welles, opens with a picture of a castle with a window
that has a light turned on. As the backgrounds begin to change into a closer view of the castle,
then a view of the castle from the reflection of the water surrounding it, we are drawn into the
