Cinematic Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2015)

Casablanca is a truly spectacular movie. The script being the most impressive. Not once is there a wasted line. Nor is there ever a poorly delivered line. Rick Blaine has a frank and direct manner in which he speaks and Humphrey Bogart delivers perfectly. The rest of the cast is great as well. Ingrid Bergman communicates Ilsa's anxious and stressed demeanor perfectly. Claude Raines portrays Louis Renault's wit and charisma is a wonderful fashion. The films atmosphere is presented flawlessly as well. The set is crafted with fine detail. The lightning and direction is amazing. From Rick's silhouette scene, to the bar fight scene where Rick rights the fallen glass. The subtleties bring this film together. This film is rightfully placed as one of, if not, the greatest film in history.
