The Social Network and Citizen Kane

Movie Compare and Contrast: The Social Network/ Citizen Kane

The Characters in this movie were played by actors: Orson Welles,  Joseph Cotton , Everrette Sloan, Dorothy Comingore, Ray Collins, Ruth Warrik, George Coulorous. It starred and was directed by Orson Welles in 1941, it is a period piece.  In Social Network and Citizen Kane both are entrepreneurs.  Social Network is different because it is a biography. I noticed that in Social Network many landmarks for success, were established by parties. In Citizen Kane you were shown all of his mistakes and accomplishments through newspaper headings. The Story of Social Network takes us through a journey to accomplish the website and flashbacks to court. We see The character develops himself and his idea, as his idea expands. In Citizen Kane We his story becomes portrayed through his journals, the daily inquier, and the stories of the people who knew him best. Both movies left you with a question. In Social Network we see Mark trying to reach out to Erica, as he waits the movie ends. In citizen Kane the Inquirer travel through a quest of individual accounts in search of Rosebud. We are shown a sled named rosebud, but there lies a question of  what the metaphor of it means to Kane.
