The Usual Suspects & Citizen Kane

Abstract: A 9 page research paper that compares the narrative technique employed in two films: Bryan Singer's The Usual Suspects (1995) and Orson Welles' classic film Citizen Kane (1941). The writer argues that the use of flashback narration in both films adds depth of meaning that would not be possible with a straight, linear telling of either story. The use of flashbacks is discussed within the context of the action of each film. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
