Citizen Kane is sort of a film you appreicate more than anything. It's amazing how influential it is. He practically re-invented the language of film, all while writing the Great American Novel. But it's a hard film to love with modern eyes. You can't appreciate on an emotional level with how radical a film it was, only intellectually.

At it's time, it was way ahead of what anyone else was doing. Welles created/invented numerous camera angles, shots, styles, methods in that movie. So it's a "genius" type work in the history of movies. A game changer.
