It still dwells: The romance of the century...

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2005)

Casablanca is a favorite movie for me and many other people for good reasons. It had been awarded numerous Oscar Academy Awards and nominations which bring up its value. It is a special love story that is rare in modern times, where love is ready to be sacrificed for greater things in a world that hasn't changed much - Where money still makes the laws. Love is the thing that can make you survive, and win your battles, you could really feel this tense atmosphere in the movie.
The actors who made this film a success had tremendously superb screenplay, leaving us with some memorable and touching lines such as "Round up the usual suspects" and "We'll always have Paris", it made me feel sad with these words and the emotions on Ilsa and Rick's face.
Another thing you must pay attention to is the movie song "As time goes by", I loved the way they used the song whenever they could throughout the whole movie, and when Sam played the song, the expressions on Ingrid Berman and Humphrey Bogart's faces showed the sadness and struggle of their memories together through that song. It was also so relieved to see that Rick's Cafe had so many connections and Rick was quite kind in some situations such as helping the young Bulgarian couple. The influence of people, money and the will of leaving Casablanca was so strongly demonstrated in the Cafe.
I deeply ensure that this movie will last as time goes by for generations to view: We'll always have Casablanca...
