  Citizen Kane:
Kane is unusually devoted to his mother, as shown when he turns away from his father to listen to his mother, and when he only pays heed to his mother's answers to his questions (Citizen Kane).
When Kane's wife begins, "People will think," he completes the sentence for her with, "What I tell them to think!" (Citizen Kane) Everything about Hearst's manner of speaking and his beliefs pointed to that fact that he was an egomaniac as well, a firm believer in his own power.
Kane flew into violent rages when he didn't get something he wanted, as when Susan left him and he said that fateful word for the first time, "Rosebud." Kane was also a collector of everything, he threw nothing out, and was always buying something.

 BBC - Films - review - Citizen Kane
A fictional biography of media magnate Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles) - a thinly veiled William Randolph Hearst that brought Welles and RKO all kinds of problems - that recreates a life in flashback, Welles' "Citizen Kane" was a startling cinematic debut by any standards, and from a 25-year-old made it nothing short of remarkable.
Beginning with Kane's lonely death at his crumbling and ornate Xanadu mansion, the film details the destruction of Kane's childhood when his mother unwittingly inherits a legacy and his resulting adolescent realisation that part of the legacy includes a newspaper, which Kane decides to run personally.
What is beyond doubt is that Welles and his collaborative troupe of Herman J Mankiewicz (screenplay), Gregg Toland (photography), Robert Wise (editor), and the fantastic cast of leading players managed to invent a whole new cinematic vocabulary.

 Citizen Kane
Kane is at first a crusader for the downtrodden, opening his first editorial with a "declaration of principles." He becomes a champion of the little person, hyping his circulation with juicy scandals, crime exposes, and, like newspaper czar William Randolph Hearst, goading the U.S. into the Spanish-American War.
Citizen Kane is a landmark film for myriad reasons, not the least of which is the variety of techniques employed—quick cuts, imaginative dissolves, even the iris device once popular in silent films.
Citizen Kane was the first film to showcase his enormous talent, along with the great supporting players Cotten, Collins, Coulouris, Stewart, Sloane, and Moorehead, all of whom came out of Welles's distinguished Mercury Players Group in New York City.

First, Kane destroys her bedroom and, at the end of his eruption, he discovers the glass ball that evoked the film's opening line and enigmatic coda: “Rosebud.” He walks from the room past stunned servants and, seconds later, a pair of mirrors in which he's briefly reflected infinitely into nothingness.
At his most dynamic and grave, Kane shapes the news that people pay attention to; the Spanish-American War becomes “his” war; he collects great art from all over the world; and he becomes so important that he can run for governor (possibly on the way to a presidential bid).
The infinite mirror images of Kane recall the many Kanes we had heard about throughout the movie, the many Kanes that would never coalesce into the substantial tragic figure he imagined himself as, complete with the key to the mystery of his ultimate failure (cf.
