What was Rosebud in the movie Citizen Kane? We're watching it and I couldn't figure it out. Hope someone can help - thanks!

Rosebud wasn't just his sled, it was a symbol of the innocence of his childhood.
Watch it again with this in mind.

I think it's definitely in the top ten. Definitely better than Casablanca. My personal favorites are Double Indemnity and Chinatown. I think you need to remember when Citizen Kane was released; 1941. America was still getting over the great depression. Before the depression, everyone had that American dream to go from rags to riches. Then by the early 1930's, the dream was gone. Citizen Kane is a story America could really relate to at the time. It's the story of an average,poor American who became extremely wealthy but in the end none of it mattered. In the end, it was just his old sled that he really wanted. Americans could probably relate to it again today with everything that's going on in the economy.

Citizen Kane almost did not make it to movie theatres as Hearst wanted to buy the negative and burn it. He also threatened to not run any advertising in his papers for it.

it was his sleigh that he had when he was little - watch the ending where they throw the sled into the fireplace it says "rosebud" on it
