Last Words of Citizen Kane

First I would like to comment on the last words of Kane. He could buy everything he wanted, shown by scanning over all of his possessions, but the one thing that he could not buy and didn't own was the fun of a childhood and the love of his parents. His last word wasn't necessarily trying to describe him, but he was simply stating what caused him to become the man he was, and that was the lack of childhood.
Secondly I would like to comment on the cinematography, specifically the camera angles during the film. Throughout the whole film, Kane was depicted as a very powerful man. Much of this was due to the acting by Orson Wells, but also the camera angles. Whenever Kane would talk to someone, especially Susan, the director(Orson Wells) would put Kane at a low angle and the person he is talking to at a high angle. This gave the illusion that Kane was very powerful. Even in his weakest moment (when he lost the election), the whole scene was filmed at a low angle perspective. Also at the opera house, the camera would shoot the audience at either a high or mid angle shot, but the camera showed Kane at low angle. I think was done to try and make Kane look very powerful, but eventually expose his weakness. Also, when showing Kane and Susan in the mansion, the director either had Susan sitting or kneeling most of the time. This could be to show that she was not as powerful as Kane or they would've just done that. But i think it shows that Susan was taken back by Kane's power that she was always portrayed as weak(compared to Kane). But at the end she it filmed at the same height as Kane, and that is when she decided to leave him. This shows that she eventually got the courage to stand up to his power. But the camera still shot Kane at a low angle, even when he was destroying things. Maybe it was done to show that Kane was trying to keep his image, or that they had done it the whole movie. Overall I think Orson Wells and his crew did a very nice job with the cinematography.
