Citizen Kane... Great movie.
But, you only needed to watch the first 5 minutes of the film to discover the sled's name.
But I'm glad you watched the whole thing.
Now, for a real kicker, watch Enron - The Smartest Guys in the Room, and see the awful parallel ironies of greed and corruption.
Will we ever learn?
Movie was amazing for it's time, it was an attack on Hearst and Welles accidently leaked the movie out while Hearst was trying to get an injunction to prevent it from being distributed because it is an obvious attack on him.
Sorry it doesn't have any helicopters exploding or high speed car chases with angle changes every .1 seconds to keep your interest. Welles use of angles actually paved the way for what we see today.
I thought this post was about the blocking sled used by the Dallas Cowboys' football team for years.
Now I know why Jerry Jones called the sled "Rosebud".
I dont think that the kid who wrote it was worried about political correctness, he was writing a text to his friend. I dont think he planned on it being online for the world to see and criticize.
So save the preaching for your friends, where you might actually make a difference, and dont sweat the website, you wont make a difference here anyway.
You are the BIGGEST FUCKING MORON EVER TO BELIEVE THAT ROSEBUD HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH A VAGINA. That's a rumor, stop believing bullshit, this isn't France ya know.
i rewatched the beginning like 3 times... still didn't see rosebud on the sled in the snow... only saw the name of the one he got as a gift....didn't see rosebud til the fire...
Haha I watched that movie recently and I was expecting Rosebud to be like a secret lover that nobody knew about. But it was a sled:( I was disappointed.

You obviously don't know much about just how much Orson Welles wanted to fuck with Hearst. There are allusions all through Citizen Kane that fly right over the heads of most people. Its one of those movies you have to watch, then learn about the back story and watch again. Much more so that the political backstory to the Wizard of Oz. Citizen Kane is probably the greatest movie ever made. Most people just don't understand the story or the technical aspects of the movie itself.
rosebud was the name of his childhood sled but the word "rosebud" in the movie actually was supposed to be a cover for the word "clitoris" - great movie, btw
Props to the dude who clarified the vagina-thing. Although apparently "Rosebud" was the pet name for Davies' *clitoris*. A rather more appropriate nickname, don't you think?!
its from citizen kane... no fair keeping the uncultured masses in the dark... at least let them have a chance... and its a good movie even with the lack of boobs
