The director used the camera to project the frenzy that was going on in Kanes head. Citizen Kane is known as one of the greatest films ever made. I dont know if I would agree completely, but I can see why it receives as much praise as it does. This film broke barriers of film for its time. The film consisted of great acting, ...
