Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ending of Citizen Kane explicitly echoes the beginning of the film, as the camera pans out from the window of Kane's estate to reveal the massive estate and the "No Trespassing" sign. This repetition creates a circular structure that reinforces the film's theme of the destructive power of ambition and the emptiness of wealth and power.
