Casablanca Review

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2014)

This film had the classic love story and is probably on the list of top 5 films ever created. Personally this film did not really do much for me. The love story seemed kind of cheesy; although, I did really enjoy the main character and who he represented throughout the film. Humphrey Bogart, Richard, represented the Americans throughout the war, which represented isolationism. Richard shows isolation in the film by never drinking with anyone. My favorite line throughout the movie was "I'll stick my neck out for nobody" and then the General replied with "Ah, a wise foreign policy." I think that was totally great. Another great aspect of the movie was the lighting. I think it was great when the light reflected off the sides of their faces and off the tops and brims of their hats. Overall the movie wasn't that bad, but I was expecting something way more complex than it actually was.
