My favourite scene in Citizen Kane is the scene where Charles Kane smashes up one of his rooms. This is because I found the scene pretty amusing and it’s the most memorable scene for me in the film. In this scene there are a variety of different low angle shots being used. They are effective shots because they make Kane look powerful because he looks bigger and more threatening. Citizen Kane was released in 1941 and at the time, people who were going to see the film in a movie theater were mainly working class people who didn’t have a lot of money. So them seeing a wealthy man smashing up loads of luxury items that they could only dream about having is quite shocking and frustrating for them.
