This article is entitled Just What's so Great About Citizen Kane. Basically the article gives a small summary on the movie and gives one authors opinion of the film.
This is directly related to the film because one it gives you the view of a professional movie critic. Another reason this article is related to the film is because it speaks directly about it. If you never watched the film and wanted to gain a little background information this would be the perfect way. Moreover, if you did watch the film but did not come to a complete understanding, this article helps in understanding the film more in depth.
In my opinion this was a decent film. I like the fact the reporters spent the entire movie trying to decode the meaning of one simple phrase. The media was making a major frantic over what this man meant when he exclaimed rosebud and went through many obstacles to get this simple meaning down.
