Classic proves itself to be somewhat desirable

Rating: 7/10 (18 October 2010)

I now can finally say I watched Casablanca. Putting my shame aside for not reviewing this high acclaimed film at an earlier date, i can say that I was half way impressed. Going into the film my expectations were a bit high, so that could have something to do with my final thoughts. I expected my mind to be blown, and to a certain degree i suppose it was. This was my first exposure to the legendary actor, Humphrey Bogart, and i was surely impressed. His acting is simply legendary and for me, he made the entire movie. The visuals were also very eye appealing. I must admit that about midway through i did get a little lost, and tried to regain focus but just couldn't. I mainly focused and was sort of awed by the presence of Humprey Bogart, his style on the screen is intriguing, smooth, and something to look up to.
