电影简介：
《公民凯恩》又名《大国民》，是一部传记体影片，也是当时年仅25岁的电影大师奥逊威尔斯自编、自导、自演的成名代表作。影片以一位报业大亨凯恩之死揭开了序幕，并通过他的人生经历和事业的兴衰史，见证了一桩资本主义神话下的复杂真相。影片以20世纪初叶美国新闻业巨头威廉·兰道尔夫·赫斯特为原型，用新颖的艺术手法表现了一位报业大王的一生。
公民凯恩》中的每一个角色似乎都是为演员度身定做的–不仅主角，就连管家雷蒙、政客盖蒂、童年凯恩等都有着鲜明的特色。此片的演员多数来自威尔斯的以广播剧和舞台剧见长的水晶剧团，几乎没有电影表演的经验，但除了极少数的特写镜头，所有演员的表演都非常自然，奥逊·威尔斯本人扮演的凯恩一角迄今仍是电影表演的范例。
1942年奥斯卡最佳原著剧本，美国国家电影保护局指定典藏。公认的电影史上最伟大的电影，是鬼才奥逊·威尔斯在26岁时编导演制的银幕处女作。 电影史上的里程碑之作，在任何一座褒奖电影成就的凯旋门上都占有显著的位置电影艺术的“开山之作”，现代电影与传统电影的历史转折点。

Information:
Citizen Kane is a 1941 American drama film, directed by and starring Orson Welles. It was Welles’s first feature film. The film was nominated for Academy Awards in nine categories; it won an Academy Award for Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Herman Mankiewicz and Welles. Often considered by critics, filmmakers and fans to be the greatest film ever made,Citizen Kane was voted the greatest film of all time in five consecutive.
The story is a film à clef that examines the life and legacy of Charles Foster Kane, played by Welles, a character based in part upon the American newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst,Chicago tycoons Samuel Insull and Harold McCormick,and aspects of Welles’s own life.Upon its release, Hearst prohibited mention of the film in any of his newspapers. Kane’s career in the publishing world is born of idealistic social service, but gradually evolves into a ruthless pursuit of power. Narrated principally through flashbacks, the story is revealed through the research of a newsreel reporter seeking to solve the mystery of the newspaper magnate’s dying word: “Rosebud”.
