Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2016)

Casablanca is still one of my favorite movies to this day and is also many others favorite movie. It's amazing that with all the new movies out today this still ranks in the top 50 movies ever created. The characters in Casablanca are so well played and well rounded that it would be hard not to build a bond to each of them by the end of the movie. Humphrey Bogart's role of Rick Blaine is my favorite character by far. His gritty attitude is accompanied by a softer side. The love triangle between Rick, Isla, and Victor really portray Rick's softer side when he ends up choosing to help Ilsa and Rick instead of himself. Another character that I thought was well played was Sam by Dooley Wilson, I liked the funny side he provided to the movie and also the life advice he always ends up helping Rick with. I also liked the lighting throughout the movie.
