~George Orwell wrote "1984". Orson Wells and Herman J. Mankiewicz. wrote "Citizen Kane". Rosebud is featured in the latter. Unless you understand the numerous themes of the screenplay, the several significant points made by the final scene will mean nothing to you. If you do understand the themes of the screenplay, you can select your own significance(s) of the final scene, not the least of which is the shot being taken at William Randolf Hearst and his mother. Since your question establishes that you know nothing of the topic of which you inquire, I can be of no assisstance to you.

rosebud was in citizen Kane. George Orwell's book dealt with the future in 1984 with things like "big brother is watching you" referring to security cameras every where. when he wrote the book there were no security cameras and no one had heard of them. i read the book years ago.

"Rosebud" is not from 1984, it's from "Citizen Kane" and it's basically what Citizen Kane always wanted most, i.e. the sleigh that he had as a child and had to leave back with his real parents.

I think the reason people were so eager to give up their rights, especially to privacy, is that they were doped into being afraid. Bush administration ran a fear campaign in the months and years after 9/11 that convinced many Americans that they will always be in danger if the government does not have more power. This is a slippery slope to loosing more freedom and a slope that I refuse to go down. However, many other are not as well versed in what the government is really doing, so they will follow blindly into certain doom. This all can be blamed on the stupidity of the American public. By the way, good first paragraph. I think you captured everything really well.

What? Are you thinking of Citizen Kane, where he was referring to his sled Rosebud? It's a reference to more innocent times.

That's from Citizen Kane. The last sentence in 1984 was: "He loved Big Brother."

I think you are mixing up Citizen Kane with 1984.
