Just Great

Rating: 10/10 (22 March 2000)

What is really strange to me is that I was talking to a few people at work and most of the younger people said to me that "I don't do black and white". As if this was a strange and odd way to see a movie. All I can say is maybe they don't know anything about American culture. Does "I don't do black and white" mean that "I am an idiot". I don't know. But what I do know is that this movie is a true American work of art. One of the best indications of what we as Americans have given to the rest of the world. When non-Americans say that we as a nation have nothing in the way of culture, let them see this movie and tell me that Americans don't have culture. What I am trying to say is that Casablanca is not only great entertainment but it shows that Americans can express the true human condition through film as well as anyone can through the written word.
