casablanca review

Rating: Null/10 (15 March 2015)

Casablanca seems to be one of those films you've always heard about but don't really know why. It's a household movie title, while many people may have never even seen it. This movie is definitely one to watch though. The way this movie was able to bring real world issues to the movie screen and turn it into a movie full of different genres is incredible. Between the tragic love stories and mysterious plans of the main character this film was definitely meant to be a classic. Director Michael Curtiz's vision for this film was to bring the real world issue surrounding Nazi France was brought forth very will. The use of lighting in this movie was really key to making it what it was. There were uses of silhouette, darkness in certain places, and the lighting of key characters to explain the great importance of different scenes and or characters. Overall this movie is on of those classics that is a must watch. As well as one of those movies that you can watch over and over again and find new things every time.
