The unlikable part mainly comes from the lead character, "Charles Foster Kane," played by Welles. However, even older, more "mature" folks find this hard to get through sometimes from what I have read. The story is pretty unlikable and, in this day and age would be too boring for most people under 50, sad to say. Yes, he was an amazing talent, behind or in front of the camera. The acting is good and it's interesting to note that this was Welles' first acting role. Orson Welles, the "genius" behind this film, was ahead of his time with his inventive camera-work. Anway, concerning this movie, I enjoyed it best for the cinematography. The same goes for Casablanca, Ben-Hur and a number of wonderful films. I'm not a fan of "Gone With The Wind," but that was a technical marvel, too, for its day and was universally loved by millions of people.so I can see that being listed number over Citizen Kane. Then you have a true number one picture of all time. I would think to be number one you would have to have a great technical film, great story, great acting, great camera-work as this has, AND have it generally loved by the public. It is a good film, fantastically photographed.but the greatest of all time? I question that, but that kind of question - Who's number one? - is impossible to answer. Hey, make no mistake: this film does deserve lofty status.
