Re: It was based on William Randolph Hearst.

Hearst yes sorry...but many great men in American history are viewed great by their dollar collection. I mean henry Ford is often sighted as a "great man" in American History --- pretty bankrupt group of people to call him "great"

Shakespeare's ideas go back to nearly the very first plays - The difference is Shakespeare did it way better than what preceded it and it can be argued has done it better than what has come after.

Kane's main fame to glory is cinematography as setting standards(which I'm told it didn't but that's another debate). This claim to fame rests on spectacle issues of movie making and with the technological advancements you gotta have more than visuals. If Rosebud speaks to audiences then the film will speak to you and it will last in your heart and mind. If you saw it coming a mile down the road and felt Kane deserved what he got and tough luck as I did then it's not going to hold much resonance. heck for that I could watch "A Christmas Carol" also a better film.
