Great Film would watch again

Rating: 9/10 (29 October 2015)

After watching Casablanca (1941) by Michael Curtiz, I thought the film was superb. The acting by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman is so well done! It may be a little overly dramatic, but it's a drama so I expect it to be that way. I love the part where Humphrey and the French Police officer are watching Ingrid and her husband walk away into the fog on the airport runway. The cinematography is great also. A lot of shots were very unique but the most spectacular thing about this film is the use of it's dramatic lighting. It's used constantly through out the film. 3-Point, Back light, Key light, and Fill light! Always, nearly every shot seemed to have some sort of lighting factor in it. The lighting also persuaded the mood of the film immensely to me. When it was dark it seem mysterious and when it was normal light it just seemed neutral. I didn't find anything in this film to be a bit boring and I was consistently following the story.
