A Classic.

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2000)

What can we possibly say about CASABLANCA?
We can say that's one of the biggest all-time classics. And it's, perhaps, one of the few classic movies that haven't disappointed me. I say these because when I watch a movie that many people considered excellent (for example THE WIZARD OF OZ), I eider think it's bad, or I'm bored to death.
As I was saying, CASABLANCA, didn't disappoint me. In fact, I love it. Humphrey Bogart is fabulous as Rick, and Ingrid Bergman is absolutely beautiful as Ilsa, one of the best female characters ever, I think.
A side from the performances, the script has thousands of beautiful lines, like "The world is falling a part and we're falling in love", and it also has great dialogues: "What's your nationality", someone asks Rick; "Drunk", he answers.
The story mix perfectly the fabulous love story with a perfect portrayal of the life of the European refugees in Casablanca, trying to escape the II World War by going to the U.S.
A movie to cry, to think, to fall in love with Bergman, and to (at first) hate and then love Boggie.
As many say, a classic.
