RKO 281 RKO 281 The movie “RKO 281” is a behind-the scenes story about one of the best movies ever made “Citizen Kane.” The story within a story is the basis of the whole plot. The dialogue was very imperative to understanding “RKO 281.” Not only did it give the background, it was the whole premise to getting “Citizen Kane” made. Liev Schreiber played Orson Welles the brain child to RKO Studios not only had to sway the studios for the making of this film but he also had controversy with his writer Herman Mankiewicz, played by John Malkovich. This was imperative in understanding how self centered Orson Welles truly was. Orson was out to get William Randolph Hearst played by James Cromwell. Making this story quite extraordinary that both of these men were quite similar in their attitudes and lives. Both of them basically wanted the same thing but in different ways. Welles wanted fame and fortune at the expense of another. Hearst bought his fame, he was well known for his extravagant living and possessions. The setting of the movie was quite elaborate in my opinion.
