Citizen Kane
Citizen Kane has set the golden standard for films ever since it was first released in 1941. Orson Welles served as the director, writer, and star of the movie. It’s not a stretch to say that the man was under a lot of pressure at the time. According to the original screenplay, the opening line was actually meant to be, “No, my sled…” instead of “Rosebud.” Nonetheless, he was able to recognize the potential of the mistake and decided to use it for the final cut.
