Sometimes one little word can have the greatest impact of all.

In this case,

“Rosebud” initiates what is often considered the best movie of all time.

Charles Foster Kane’s dying word,

“Rosebud” sends a reporter on an investigation to uncover its true meaning.

He never exactly figures out

what “Rosebud” meant,

but the audience learns that it epitomizes

the one thing the richest man in the world couldn’t buy his lost childhood.

Bringing everything full circle,

it’s easy to see

why “Citizen Kane” is a masterpiece

from beginning to end.
