Citizen Kane

One thing that i didn't really like about the movie is how it skipped all of Kane's teenage life and didn't tell us how he came to get his own newspaper company. I am probably wrong and it will probably be revealed later in the film, but i was very confused when it jumped from him being 10 or so to him almost turning 25. Also i really regret not paying much attention in the very first scene of the film with the newspaper reals when it pretty much describes his whole life. I would love to rewind and just hear all that over because to be frankly honest I don't remember anything they said. I am sure this was the case for many people however when they first watched the movie though since there was no rewind feature. Overall I am liking the movie, I'm pretty into it.

the end of the movie

I really did not like the ending of the movie. I thought it was so simplistic, and I know what you are going to say, everything had meaning behind it. However, after seeing great battle scenes and so much action throughout the whole movie, it had a very gloomy and dull finish. I wanted and half expected the film to end with a great battle where Kat and Paul both die glorious deaths. Other than that I thought the movie was great and I enjoyed it very much.

Mueller's boots.

The reason Mueller went there to see poor Franz Kemmerik, in my opinion was to see if he can get anything that Franz doesn't need. In this case, he hit the jackpot by finding his boots. This was one of the many examples of dehuminization used in "All Quiet on the Western Front". It shows the insignficance of Franz Kemmerik to Mueller and basically makes him worthless with the exception of his boots. So far, I like the film and am looking foward to seeing how everything plays out.
