Multimillionaire newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane dies alone in his extravagant mansion, Xanadu, speaking a single word: "Rosebud". In an attempt to figure out the meaning of this word, a reporter tracks down the people who worked and lived with Kane; they tell their stories in a series of flashbacks that reveal much about Kane's life but not enough to unlock the riddle of his dying breath.
I was quite disappointed with this movie. First let me start by saying that I did enjoy it and the end had a nice twist, but overall I was hoping to feel some greatness from this picture and I do feel some, but not as much as I thought or hoping I would. When you have a billing as the greatest movie ever made, you have to deliever. I personally enjoyed The Godfather more, but I did enjoy Citizen Kane more than Casablanca. The movie also seemed to move rather slow although it's only 2 hours long. However, I did absolutely love the directing! [/b]
My head just exploded.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
