Watching Citizen Kane for the first time, I did not enjoy it, and found it boring to watch. I think this is a movie I wouldn't have watched on my own time, because it's not really a genre I am interested in (black and white, historical) and not something I would have picked up just because it wouldn't have caught my eye .One of the reasons I didn't like it was because I don't like black and white movies (I think it is because there is nothing to grab my attention and everything seems to blend in). Another reason I didn't like this movie is because the whole plot of the story isn't something I am interested in, (politics, and history) therefore it just dragged on. I think the movie is good for the time period it was made, and all of the special effects that were used and I was surprised at some of the things that were done in the movie, such as the camera coming from above and shooting something down below and the focus of different pieces in a scene. As well I think the movie is well made, and put together well with the plot and story line, and the way the movie was shot using different techniques. It is a good movie, just not for me.
Sorry, better luck next time Mr. Kane ;)
