Ok I discussed this with a literature PHD student who brought up some intriguing points starting with what you note that WE are the ones who elevate such people to greatness and therein lies our (America's) fundamental problem.It could also be argued that the off putting cinematography was intended to do just that and have Kane presented in "off" angles. I shall give the film another go when I get some time.
Sometimes a film just needs to be seen for it to work for me. A Clockwork Orange I gave no stars to on first view and it now sits number 2 on my all time viewed list. Kane is already way better than my first Clockwork Vieiwing.
