I imagine the first one, for all the obv reasons.

yeah obv that works better on a symbolic level but wouldn't he be more likely to still HAVE the second one?

Maybe his parents had the old one and he inherited it when they died and it was never unpacked. Not likely though.

I don't think there's a need to put 'spoilers' when discussing a 64 year old movie...

And here I thought it had something to do with William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies.

>"BUTT".

Wrong Davies orifice (at least what I read).

Does the fact that Rosebud goes up in flames suggest Marion Davies had the VD?

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 16:30 (twenty years ago)

It's "KANE'S ROSEBUD", not Davies's.
