Kane and Hildy

I agree with Kate about Kane's quote "If I hadn't been rich, I might have been a really good man." Though Kane claimed he did not care much about his money, he continued to purchase extremely valuable items throughout the world, collecting them in a palace for himself! How selfish, crude, and unaltruistic of a man who longed after the public's heart. Kane eventually only drowned in his insatiable lust for love--all alone. His character makes me think of how we treat Jesus more often than not--we want to be loved without putting the work in. Just some food for thought...Also, when Rosebud was the sled, it made me think that back when he was an innocent boy, life was good. Before the complications and moral dilemmas,before the masses, before the printed papers, life was simple and grand.

“His Girl Friday” could stand for the fact that Hildy is Bruce’s girl for a day, figuratively speaking, before she runs back to her first husband. I loved seeing Hildy as “one of the newspaper men” even with her pinstriped suit. Hildy’s wit was a fabulous thread to follow throughout the film, and along with her hubby, they made a smashing dynamic duo.
