In Citizen Kane they showed the audience more things than the characters in the film knew about and to make a point using different camera angles. They showed the sled in the end to solve the mystery of what "rosebud" was. They showed the 2 different sides of Susan’s debut when they opened once from the back showing all of the audience that Susan had to face knowing her voice was not good and once from the front showing her facial expression as it did so. Also the entering and leaving as they traveled up and down respectively at the gate of his castle was a way to provide closure. All these things made the film more complete for the audience in that it helped them see the bigger picture even if the movie characters did not.

The narration in Citizen Kane was pretty interesting, I believe Susan's debut is the best example of it. Good post.

I liked the narration of Citizen Kane when the characters talked about him in their interviews. I liked how Susan explained their relationship, and how bad it was.
