So much better than Citizen Kane

Rating: 7/10 (15 May 2016)

In terms of the greatest films of all time, Casablanca has it in spades. It is so much stronger than Citizen Kane. It is an absolute classic of the noir era, due to how strong it is stylistically and has given us some of the most memorable lines and moments in film history. It can be easily interpreted as a propaganda film made to encourage the Americans to join the war. Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine is brilliant as the reluctant hero. The film itself has become iconic as a tale of redemption. Unlike Citizen Kane, it has withstood the test of time. In fact I would go further and say that Casablanca is timeless.
