Good Film to Watch

Rating: 8/10 (15 October 2009)

Individuals are always dealing with war inside themselves. Whether it's a war between jealousy, self-centered behavior,neutrality,fear, or love, it's important for people to let go of those emotions and go for those feelings that are within your heart, even if it hurts you, or if you have contradicting feelings about someone or something. People can't always hide from their feelings. They have to go out into the world and release them to the person that an individual cares about.
Bogart's acting portrays all of these characteristics well in this movie. The entire acting in the movie was great and well timed. The romantic twists throughout the film were good,romantic, and very suspenseful as the viewers are glued into the interesting triangle between Rick,Ilsa, and Victor.The cinematography throughout the movie was good with a balance of soft lighting on the lead woman,bright, sharp focused contrast on the leading men as throughout the interior and exterior scenes, and the dark, gloomy, climatic clear contrast on Bogart's face was well shown to display his saddened angry mood at Ilsa's betrayal at the train station. The use of the piano, live bands, and recorded music was used well throughout the film. The use of depth of field was used well.
If you're interested in watching a romantic suspenseful drama, then this movie would be a great film to watch.
