Even with today’s standards‚ there’s something still special about the style and what makes this film just as famous as its main character. While the film explains Kane’s life‚ it’s also is an investigation into film style by challenging classic Hollywood styles with a different and darker look.

Every film uses the stylistic system to structure a narrative that is based on a combination of the visual and audile rather than either in isolation.
