- The fact that Rosebud was the name of Kane's sled as a boy is a fundamental
- part of the movie, as I see it. The entire movie is about a man who is
- searching for happiness. The sled symbolizes the happiness and comfort he felt
- as a boy, and that was taken away from him. A big deal is made about the
- Rosebud reference because it is the symbol for everyman's search for happiness.
