Citizen Kane

The movie is growing on me as we get more and more into it. The main theme that i see in this movie is the loss of innocence due to power. As Mr. Kane becomes more and more powerful, he becomes less interested in the well being of others, as seen by his refusal to step down from running for governor. He is willing to tarnish the name of his wife and his family and his new found "love" just to win the election. Power is affecting Mr. Kane negatively, and is alienating him from all of those who have supported him in his life. It is going to be interesting to see how all of this relates back to the big mystery of why his dying words are rosebud.
