- ROSEBUD was Kane's sled! It is not necessarily the key to the whole mystery.
- It's ironic that the people in the film search for some clue to Kane's life and
- last word. And it's ironic that his last word would be this image of his
- uncorrupted, innocent childhood.

- But there are many other brilliant scenes and reasons for viewing this film.
- The key to the mystery and even the revelation of ROSEBUD as the sled is
- secondary to the content of the film overall.
