Most experts would say "Rosebud" represented the time in Charles Foster Kane's life when he was truly happy, the only time. Iroically, or not... it was when he was poor too. However, I've always thought that "rosebud" actually represented the vagina, the true source of a man's happiness. It seems more likely he would be thinking about that on his death bed.... which is it for Randy?
Time for a WTO in Seattle fucking explosion!!! Good God, Leonard is a mental MIDGET to even THINK about a neon rose! We have the most beautiful REAL rose garden in the WORLD!!! We're called the city of Roses!! We have a goddam ROSE FESTIVAL every fucking year! ENOUGH WITH ROSES, you moron!
I'm pro-neon signs everywhere*. And I like this, and appreciate Leonard's thinking.
*maybe because I grew up first in LA - where there is lots of great-looking neon - and second in santa barbara, where the city was strangled by the powerful signage committee, and basically every sign had to be adobe-colored.
Like many other commenters here today, I think I would first like to also say: fuck. Fucking fuck fuck. Rose, fuck. Ya know?
Secondly, I would like the neon rose to be in the rose garden. Neat! You could go there at night and still see a rose. And they should also sell beer there. And take out those thorny plants that stink all summer. I CARE what happens here!
What is the place a whorehouse now?
Leonard is on my shit list forevs.
