Casablanca

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2016)

This movie was awfully significant in its timing since it was at the height of the war. It was a very emotional film. I can't imagine what seeing this movie would be like at the time not knowing the outcome of the war. The back story alone is exciting. The movie itself was also entertaining. The use of shadow and what seemed like dim lighting really added to the tension and drama of the plot. I also appreciated the use of flashback in the film which was not common at the time. Everything about this movie was great for capturing the attention of the audience. The character development was great since there was a history between the two and the emotion was conveyed strongly in the eyes of each character when the light would shimmer off their tears. This allowed the viewers To almost feel the pain and love felt by the characters.
