Classic of all Classics

Rating: 9/10 (7 December 2010)

I was so excited to watch this film for my class because I never saw this film before and I have always wanted to see it. Probably due to the fact that i read somewhere once that one of the my favorite movies Batman: Mask of the Phantasm uses a lot of the same plot elements as Casablanca. Saying this I love the use of flashbacks to show important parts of the film. I also just love the styling of 40's everyone just is dressed as fancy as they could just a great moment in America's history. The film also has a great love story which is such a relief to see because most films love stories are just way to sappy or overdone, I feel it was just perfect to fit the mood of the film and the moments that were happening of the world. How Rick was a symbol of America during the start of World War II he did not want to get involved in any other's business (Europe) but towards the end of the film he has no choice to, make sure Ilsa is safe and gets on the plane (Pearl Harbor).
