Eighty-four years ago today, on May 1, 1941 (April 6, 1941), the American film Citizen Kane was released. On May 1, 1941, Citizen Kane, starring and directed by the child prodigy Orson Welles, was released. Welles had been performing on stage and radio, making a film for the first time. The film was originally scheduled to be released in February, but William Randolph-Hirst believed that the plot of the film was too coincidental and therefore banned its release. The film depicts a publisher who is on the rise. But opinions are divided. Welles applies the storytelling techniques and bold shots of a fast-paced newsreel, and he has a good eye for people to use the unknown Rothbard to star in the film. The director's debut is a classic and highly imaginative biopic, whose rich composite structure and creative use of cinematic technique have had a lasting impact on cinema.
