Newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane is taken from his mother as a boy and made the ward of a rich industrialist. As a result, every well-meaning, tyrannical or self-destructive move he makes for the rest of his life appears in some way to be a reaction to that deeply wounding event.
Editor's Verdict
"Citizen Kane does not contain any discernible elements related to the Christmas season, plot, themes, or iconography. The analysis yields 'None' across all criteria."
