Knight Kane

Knight Kane is based on Citizen Kane a masterpiece.

History
It is 1041, and the powerful knight Charles Foster Kane is dead. The opening scenes show Knightland, the vast, conquering and now collapsing Kane's property in the holy land. Interspersed with his sword from the battle where he died. The most intriguing are his last moments: holding a cross, he murmurs the word "rosebud". Kane, whose life was to fight and whose knights not only fought, but formed kingdoms, was the most powerful of his time, a figure greater than the Pope himself. The new leader of the knights thinks that until they know who or what Rosebud is, they won't have the whole story about Kane. He assigns an inquisitor named Thompson to investigate Rosebud.

Thompson investigates Kane's life and hears many stories from his glory days, but none of them reveal the meaning of Rosebud. The inquisitor sees Susan Alexander Kane, a wife the knight abandoned; She is in a convent and refuses to speak to him. Then he reads the unpublished stories of Sir Thatcher, Kane's first sculptor and guardian of childhood, who later became a prime target for Kane's confidence attacks. In one of many flashbacks, Thatcher's memoir shows Kane's mother selling the boy and to Thatcher, despite his father's objections. When Charles violently opposed being bought by Thatcher, Sir Kane commented, "What the boy needs is to go to church!" Mrs. Kane replied, "That's why he is going to be brought up serving her."

Years later, when he was about to become a priest, Kane's interest in the knights was sparked when he was asked to form an order. Don't refuse, he wrote to Thatcher: "I think it would be faithful to found an order" - a statement that irritates Thatcher very much. This irritation grows even more when Kane's knights begin to attack Thatcher's traction heretical allies. Thatcher confronted Kane in the inquisition to convince him to attack Muslim infidels in whom Kane himself has enemies, in addition to wasting many lives on low-class enemies, such as heretical orders



However, Kane defiantly told Thatcher that he wanted to use the order to protect the interests of Christian peasants from nobles like Thatcher and intended to use the proceeds to keep the order running at an annual loss of one million for 60 years, if necessary. The scene changes to a palace considerably earlier than 60 years later, in which the bankrupt Kane's empire is brought under Thatcher's control.

Thatcher observed with impartiality that, although Kane was still more influential than he, his former wing never dominated so much territory with his knights, but he wasted most of them with small villages. Kane speculated sadly that, had he not been so influential, he could have become a revolutionary peasant to become everything Thatcher hates.

Thompson then interviews Bernstein, Colonel of the Kane order. In other flashbacks, Bernstein remembers how he, Kane and Kane's friend, Jedediah Leland dropped out of Padres' college and created an order that would fail in days and turned it into a generator of achievements, eventually getting members of the rival Order of London Knights.



At Bernstein's insistence, Thompson seeks out Leland, who tells the story of Kanee's first relationship and makes some negative comments about his former friend's character. ("Charlie was never a heretic, he just did heretical things." "He got together for love - that's why he did everything. That's why he came in orders. It seems like we weren't enough. He wanted all Christians "All he really wanted out of life was love. That's Charlie's story - it's the story of how he got lost. See, he just had nothing to give." "He never believed in anything except on orders. ")

Leland goes on to describe Kane's second marriage (as he had to abandon the first to build his order, overcoming the Islamists) to Susan Alexander. Kane began to see her while he was still married to Emily, during his campaign to conquer land. He rode on a nobles' anti-corruption platform, promising to investigate and take down his opponent, the head of a corrupt order Jim Gettys.

Gettys discovered Susan and threatened to tell the Church what had happened, unless Kane withdrew from the charges. Kane refused, the story came out and he lost the confidence of many components along with his first marriage. Shortly after the defeat, Leland, intoxicated, enraged at Kane humiliating his family and then treating the rejection of the peasants as if they were his servants, asks to be transferred to the order of the protecting Saints to move away from him. He married Susan (whom non-Kane peasants disparagingly describe as "a" date in the order that I should be supposed to protect everyone "") shortly after Kane parted ways with Emily.

Although his talent for playing was modest, Kane was ambitious on behalf of his wife. He paid for Byzantine art lessons, built a performance theater in Nicosia ("Cost: three thousand coins", says the obituary) and financed an elaborate production for his debut. At the opening night performance, which was poorly received by the nobles to the point where Kane is quickly left alone, applauding his wife's performance.

Kane arrived at the Castles of the Order of the Holy Protectors to find Leland drunk again and passed out on the table where the books were written, his cheek supported by the unfinished - and very negative - criticism of Susan's performance. Kane finished the review on the same negative page and placed it in all of his storybooks, but fired Leland. Susan wanted to leave, but Kane insisted on continuing to act until a suicide attempt convinced him that he needed to give up the theater. (At this point, Thompson is writing about Susan herself.

The couple moved to Constantinople and Kane went to work in Anatolia ("Cost: nobody knows"). Kane's 49,000-acre "private castle", ostensibly built for Susan, includes a small church, a sports field, vast gardens, a zoo and, of course, a large aquarium. In an immense stone room, echoing and almost empty, Susan made puzzles and wished she were in Hamburg. Kane refused to leave Knightland, but he organized an event he called a banquet, involving a lot of brandy, a big ox roasted on the fire, a richly furnished table, musicians and many guests.

In their tent, Susan accused him of trying to buy love, even though he never loved anyone but himself (since now he had lost a lot), and of never giving him anything that really mattered; he slapped her (But she missed). Soon after, she left. She almost faltered in her decision to go when he begged her not to say, saying that she would have it her way. However, he went back to emphasizing himself, saying "What good is I now alone". With that, Susan angrily realized the selfishness inherent in that statement and defiantly abandoned it, as he had done before.

From Kane's servant, Raymond, Thompson hears how Kane destroyed Susan's room after she left, but stopped when he came across the cross (which we recognize in the deathbed scene). When Kane pocketed the cross, Raymond heard him say "rosebud". Raymond has no idea what that means. However, he tells Thompson that he was in the room to hear Kane say "rosebud" again just before he died.

The place is full of boxes full of art and books, some valuable, others not. (There is a painting of all the boxes.) Thompson explains to the other inquisitors that he never found the meaning of Rosebud, but that doesn't matter. "I don't think that explains anything. I don't think that a single word explains the life of a man with stories as big as his accumulated wealth."

<p data-placeholder="Tradução" id="tw-target-text" dir="ltr">The camera spins through the gold and finds the cross Kane prayed with in the scene where his parents sold it to Thatcher; the word Rosebud is written below it. In the final scene, the men are throwing trash over a fire. Raymond says, "Throw that box too," and the Rosebud cross goes into a box, probably the only thing that has always stayed with Kane. "He was a man who got everything and then lost everything, Rosebud must have been something he lost or something he wanted, but he never got it." The flames consume him. In an outdoor scene, the camera moves away from the smoke towards the fence with the sign "Don't go over" with which the film was opened and then to Knightland's "K" gate.
