In Citizen Kane although the main character of the movie was Charles Foster Kane, the movies was actually based of the very real and very powerful William Randolph Hearst who was a newspaper typhoon. Who was given away after his mother comes into fortune. In the movie Kane started as a young innocent young boy who enjoyed his home with his mother and father. Kane was showed as a young and particularly happy child while he lived with his parents, but as he grew older he grew more careless and frivolous with his fortune. The movies portrays the metamophosis of a man into a power crazed maniac. It was hard for Kane to know the value of money because he had always had it. The narrators were also unreliable because the stories were told from others' point of view and their are many thigs to affect their recollection such as old age, motifs, bad memory. Some people may want to make themselves a person of interest in their own stories, or may want to slander Kanes name. Overall it is a difficult task to tell the life story of one who no longer possesses life.
