Rashomon vs. Citizen Kane

Comparison and Contrast.
To start with Rashomon is an International film from Japan, and Citizen Kane is an all American made. One thing is the way they tell the story. In Citizen Kane they told the story from different characters in which they described what it was like how to be or share a time they spent with Kane. In the end though it had the same climax he died. In Rashomon it's told from 4 different perspective, but each character manipulated their story to their advantage, in the end you don't know who is lying or not. More important, you don't know what really happened.
