I found it interesting how virtually every character that Mr. Thompson interviews has negative feelings towards Kane after he died, while when he was alive everyone seemed to love him. The movie hints that Kane could have practically any woman that he wanted, and had people clamoring all over him to be his friend. The only men who have stood up to him so far are Jed Leeland and Jim Gettys. Leyland ended up in a nursing home begging visitors for cigars, and Gettys was an unpopular and disliked man his entire life. I'm very interested to see what thoughts the elusive "rosebud" has on Mr. Kane.

That is pretty weird, you would think such an influential man would have had at least a few people who looked to him in a positive light that also ended up doing very well for themselves.
ReplyDeleteI agree. At the end, though, Thompson says that he feels sorry for Kane, and Suzen agrees. But the witnesses tell an almost universally bad story about Kane, while our vision of him is not quite so bad, really.
