Were there any fallacies in 'Citizen Kane'?

Answer 1

That would seem more a subject of a thesis. In any case, the biggest fallacy was that a powerfully intelligent and productive man would have the entirety of his life guided, shaped and controlled by the loss of one sleigh as a child.

I forget who said this, but the phrase "It was painfully Freudian." leaps to mind. People are a bit more complex than that, and the mass of men do not die mouthing the name of the toy they once loved.

Answer 2

One fallacy that could be attributed to "Citizen Kane" is the hasty generalization fallacy, where broad conclusions are drawn from limited observations. Some critics argue that the portrayal of Charles Foster Kane as a one-dimensional character may oversimplify the complexity of his personality and motivations, thereby falling into this fallacy.
