Citizen Kane was a movie that relied as heavily on the sound as it did the actors. For me watching the movie I noticed that even though the music and sounds seemed normal and didn't come out of place at all. But there were a few motifs throughout the film that really showed the mood off well. For example, when the director used Kane's theme song first for the scene at the newspaper, then during the election, then when he was by himself. It showed many different sides of Kane as well as stages throughout his life. It seemed like loud noises were used to snap the viewer back into focus just in case they were like me and had a short attention span. I think Kane was an overall good movie for its time and used sound very well.
