When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Casablanca is a classic film that actually does live up to the hype. This really is one of the greatest films of all time. It has a compelling story, interesting characters and superb acting. Plus, it has stood the test of time and will continue to be endlessly quoted, referenced and parodied.
But that's it. I really liked it. I can't say I loved it. However, I do see why this is one of the all time big classics. Film critics Leonard Maltin and Ben Mankiewicz both call this their favorite movie.This is one of those movies with iconic lines: "Here's looking at you kid." "Play it, Sam." "This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."That's a sign of the movie's power in cinema history. Is there really anything else to say?
Great movie. When they killed that prisoner I just couldn't stop thinking about the similarities between Nazis and Iran's regime.
There are some undertones of male dominance to the romance that don't necessarily work, especially considering that there's only one proper character involved, but the rest of the picture is a layered, vibrant and sometimes quite dark portrayal of a unique setting that's heightened when you remember that the flick itself was made long before it was clear that the Nazis it portrays weren't going to win the war. 'Casablanca (1942)' is a cynical but well-drawn piece with a gruff lead who's callously charismatic and charming in that straight-talking kind of way. It manages to make you care for quite a small story while highlighting that, no matter how insignificant it may actually be in the grand scheme of things, it means the world to the characters caught in the middle of it. 7/10
