Citizen Kane

man is complex.the tendency of man is to want to reject the way of life they don’t want to embody and instead pursue a successful, selfless, love-filled, purposeful life. but when failure is imminent and continual, the man ends up becoming the very man he never wanted to be. this crushes his soul and in that place of defeat, he scrounges at least for the projection of a successful, happy man, but it’s a hollow shell. internally he is miserable, alone and more selfish and sad than his obituary will show. this man’s failure impeded his ability to get the thing he really wanted and needed, to be truly known and loved. with every failure his guard went up more and the distance between him and his closest relationships stretched further. or something... it’s news to no one but this movie is great.
