Citizen Kane (1941) Official Trailer #1 - Orson Welles Movie 

who’s watching in 1951? cant believe this movie came out 10 years ago!

Can't wait for this to come out. Looks really good.

People need to realize that Orson Welles was 25 when he made this movie. 25! And its still hailed as the greatest movie ever made, now thats a legacy to be proud of.

Most trailers: actual trailers Citizen Kane: guy on microphone going *citizen kane is coming to theaters*

Today's, trailers show you the entire movie and leave you with no anticipation. Seriously, Wells was even a creative genius over his trailers.

What an unexpectedly unusual trailer.

The Citizen Kane of films.

This trailer is one of the biggest flexs of all-time

Can’t wait for this movie to come out

“I wish you would come to this theatre when citizen Kane plays here” Little late had something going on

Yesterday we bid good by to 2040 and now it's 2041, 100 yrs of citizen Kane. Still the best films ever made. They say Fast and Furious 34 is the best. I don't believe them!

"He isn't necessarily a comedian" Savage.

Orson Welles truly ahead of his time. He was the hemingway of his time, some would say quite literally "a" hemingway.

Timeles masterpiece. Full of wit and humour as great art often tends to be

80 years after that masterpiece was made

Even the trailer is 50 years ahead of ots time. Wow

The movie that made me understand the importance of directors in cinema and that revealed my love for the movies... Michael, from Belgium

Orson had such amazing range! He just disappeared into this role. I mean, even De Niro has never played a microphone on film... wouldn't even attempt it. Who else could so convincingly!? Exactly.

Nice way to introduce all the major actors, and till amazing to think it was the feature film debut of the majority of them, who then went on to have long careers in film and tv. And Welles, knowing that everyone would know him by his voice due to his many successful radio programs, (Mercury Theatre on the Air, The Shadow), cheekily only introduces himself by use of the microphone. Wonderful touch. The best trailer ever.

I was negative 42 years old when this came out. Oh those were the good ol days. Doesn't take much to remember what it was like back then.

The more you watch Citizen Kane, the more you appreciate it. Orson Welles did really well in this film by using camera techniques that is incredibly powerful and super influential for filmmaking. I also love how he uses light to express emotion. The editing and the cinematography is breathtaking and astounding at the same time and the fact that it was all accomplished back in 1941 is really impressive. To this day, it's consistently been regarded as the greatest film of all time, ranking it in the top films of all time, being ranked as #1, many critics, directors, actors and audiences calling it the greatest film of all time. No other movies especially The Godfather, 2001, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Psycho, Seven Samurai, MCU, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Metropolis and other great films can top Citizen Kane.

This feels incredibly modern

WhO'S sTilL wATChiNG IN 1941??

"This makes Attack of the Clones look like citizan kane" brought me here

Amazing Marketing from the 40s. What a genius Orson was!

Imagine a modern art movie being this unpretentious.

That movie had been number one on the "Best movies ever"-list compiled by film critics for decades but lost first place to Hitchcock's "Vertigo" some years ago!

They said this is the greatest movie of all time. I still yet to watch it

Just watched this film for the first time today on HBO MAX. Perhaps the greatest film ever with cinematography. I love how some scenes such as the room thrashing causes modern cinema to use scenes like this today. Such a good film. I rate it 9/10.

Always heard of this being the GOAT and finally saw it and honestly it is fascinating. Idk if it’s the best movie I’ve ever seen but for an 80 year old movie it captivated me from start to finish. The characters are what make it so goddam interesting and the way the story unfolds and you learn about this man who has become like a prophet is spectacular. And the movie just feels grand in every sense of the word. From the sets to the camerawork, everything is impeccable. I can now see why this movie has stood the test of time and become so influential.

Wish I really could meet Orson Welles! My all time favourite actor and director 💞

Thank you for the invitation to go watch Citizen Kane, I will be delighted to assist because I do enjoy theater movies. The lads say this one will be remembered through the years!

One of the greatest trailers, ever.

And this trailer was made in the 1940s, that's even earlier than my country's independence day! Creativity at its peak! This trailer is better than so many movies itself.

Can’t believe I haven’t stopped watching this even though it’s 1962

Arguably the greatest movie ever made

I'll wait till it comes out in 4K

This film is pure excellence on so many levels. Orson Welles was a talent to behold: he wrote, directed, and starred in this masterpiece. Absolute genius! This film is, in my opinion and in the opinions of many other cinema lovers, the greatest film of all time!!

Eighty-three years on, it remains the greatest picture of all time in many polls, and top-five in most others. Revolutionary in more than just Welles' performance and direction, Gregg Toland's photography, Bernard Herrmann's music and a bunch of other great performances, so was this trailer. Hearst be damned; this is, indeed, "terrific"!

Here after Mank. Saw Citizen Kane two decades ago, and now want to see again.

not showing the protagonist in the trailer. amazing, now this gets you really excited to see the movie. not basically explaining everything in the trailer that goes on. which is how its often done today

Its 2 in the morning and i don't know why i am watching this.

Hugely entertaining trailer up there with John Waters' trailer for his Pink Flamingos which had snips of interviews with viewers coming out of a screening. " I liked it even more than Cries and Whispers."

When you realise this movie was released just 3 months before the Pearl Harbour Attack

Even Welles' trailer is a work of art

a tremendous movie. sad that it was not given its due. it was fantastic.

Literally one of the best movie trailers ever made

Well that was refreshingly original. Never thought I'd say that to a movie trailer from a long time ago.

Wonderful movie! I'm delighted.

what a way to sell your movie. this is mind blowing!!! indeed the movie is classic. and ageless, before I forget.

Wow!! For the trailer you see the new vision of cinema that Welles and your staff had.

This is Better than The Emoji Movie

Superbly narrated.

The first vlog ever made and it’s a masterpiece.

how people in 1940 watch this trailer?

If you watch this movie in 2022, it might be normal, but this movie was a pretty groundbreaking production movie in 1941.

You know a movie will be great when even the add is this good.

I love this movie so much.

one of the most complete film ever!

If i become a movie director, i'm making a trailer like this but with modern stuff.

Citizen Kane is the perfect example of a movie that is good as is.

The opening scene is so amazing

0:19 - 0:20 MF DOOM - Bistro sample

What a satisfyingly both odd and perfect trailer.

As a native Spanish speaker who lives in Latin America, the newspaper headline "Se murió el Sr. Kane" gets me every time. LOL. It's so informal, you wouldn't see it phrased like that on a respectable newspaper. "Muere el Sr. Kane", is a more typical, appropriate way. ( It's the narrative device known in English too, as the "historical present": the use of the present tense to narrate past events. )

This looks really cool, can’t wait for it to come out!

This cult classic is turning 80 this year!

Happy 80th anniversary, Citizen Kane! Released 05/01/1941

I was studying cinema and literature nd how to read a film some of the examples are from this movie .. I searched to found out and didn't left disappointed

have been hearing about it, has read about it being mentioned in literary books as a reference of great artwork of course, but havent had the chance to see the movie yet. definitely high time to watch it

'Timeless' brought me here.

This trailer is great

A completely innovative trailer that like the movie, changed how we view movies & trailers. Hollywood took control soon after and he never as able to put out something into the public with complete freedom, again.

How come this doesn’t have 100 million views???

1:33 oh lawd he comin

Masterpiece of a movie

People don’t talk about citizen Kane but everyone knows it is the best movie ever made heck the most important in human history

Anyone after mank release

Η ταινία διαθέτει κρυμμένα νοήματα, καλλιτεχνική διεύθυνση, σκηνοθεσία, όλα εκείνα τα στοιχεία τα οποία μετατρέπουν μια σπουδαία ταινία σε έργο τέχνης και όχι σε μία μακροσκελή διαφήμιση για υπολογιστές, αυτοκίνητα και σνακ, όπως μοιάζουν οι περισσότερες ταινίες πλέον. Έχουμε την ιστορία ενός μεγιστάνα του τύπου, του Τσαρλς Φόστερ Κέιν, ο οποίος οδηγείται στην πτώση εξαιτίας της ύβρης και της φιλοδοξίας. Η ίδιοι ακριβώς παράγοντες την πορεία του προς την κορυφή, χαρακτηριστικά τα οποία προέκυψαν από ένα συντριπτικό σύμπλεγμα με τη μητέρα του, το οποίο εκμηδενίζει τα επιτεύγματα του, καταδικάζει τον γάμο του σε αποτυχία και, τελικά καταστρέφει τη ζωή του. Θύμα αυτού του φαύλου κύκλου, ο οποίος αγγίζει τον πυρήνα της ύπαρξης του, ο δύσμοιρος Τσαρλς πεθαίνει μόνος, χωρίς αγάπη, απλώς και μόνο επειδή δεν μπόρεσε ποτέ να απογαλακτιστεί. Ίσως το θέμα να μην ήταν το στήθος της μητέρας του... Σίγουρα όμως ο Τσαρλς Φόστερ Κέιν ήταν ικανός να πηδήξει τους πάντες, ακόμα και την μάνα του. Και, αυτό τελικά ήταν η πηγή όλων των προβλημάτων του. Η πλοκή πάντοτε έπεται του χαρακτήρα. Μην το ξεχνάτε αυτό.

cant wait for this movie to come out!

Putting it simply, Orson Rules!

Wow, this trailer did not show anything from the movie. However, very interesting...

This movie represents dreams.

This trailer could have been a ruse and still worth its runtime. Great writing and delivery. It itself beats the pants off the Oscar winner, How Green Was My Valley.

The Citizen Kane of trailers

I think Welles came to dismiss this film in his later years. He called CK a comedy and considered his best film to be THE TRIAL.

No actual footage from the movie, and the star never appears on screen. These days this would be the first "announcement" teaser and would be followed by 2 or 3 more trailers before the movie came out.

Highly recommended movie.

MAGNIFICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I've been jumping in my pants for the release of this movie since 1940. Ohohoho. (I was trying to sound like a 1940's person but I forgot what they sounded like).

Post it in the correct aspect ratio please.

I couldn’t finish this movie and I love cinema but I’m gonna give it another try

Simultaneously, when Citizen Kane was released, RKO Radio Pictures was also the distribution company for Walt Disney from 1937 to 1956.

Wait a minute, there’s no cane in Citizen Kane!

I'm here after watching the trailer of 'mank'.

You guys dont need to ask it each and everytime !! Yess yesss im still watching this in 1941

Citizen Kane is the Citizen Kane of Citizen Kane movies.
