A Timeless Romance

Rating: 9/10 (29 May 2015)

Before watching this movie, I have seen Casablanca mentioned as one of the greatest movies ever made. I had huge expectations for this movie and after watching it I can see why it is such a widely loved movie. Set in the backdrop of World War 2, the story revolves around Rick who is the owner of a gin joint in Casablanca. The dialogs are what truly make this movie memorable as a number of them have become fixtures of popular culture. The acting is marvelous and Humphrey Bogart is exceptional as a man with a broken heart who is a sentimentalist. Even though the movie is very old, the themes of love and heartbreak still resonate in the present day. I believe people can enjoy this masterpiece for centuries to come.
