Casablanca (1942)

Rating: Null/10 (17 December 2015)

Casablanca was one of Humphrey Bogart's best films. The director, Michael Curtiz, is the mind behind this movie being so fantastic. He was an excellent director who's movies were very successful due to his extravagant use of lighting. Curtiz use fantastic low key lighting and created certain shadows that cultivated a feeling unlike no other. The lighting and music in this film set the mood and tone for each scene. This movie was loved by everyone who watched it. It was released at the right time in history to catch the eye of every one. It was released during World War Two after America had contributed two years of fighting to the war. This impacted society because many women had gone through similar events that occur in the story. Husbands left their wives to go to war which is comparable to Isla leaving Rick to go to America.
