Loved it

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2016)

I feel like this film is a classic, one that I've always heard people rave about. I'm glad I was finally able to see it, and really enjoyed it. I really like how calm Rick remains when he is being questioned by the German officials. He remains neutral and vague, whilst still staying true to who he is. He never falters or stumbles over his words. I also really like how he doesn't lie either, he has nothing to hide. But once the conversation switches to talk of politics, he politely but firmly excuses himself from the conversation, refusing to discuss politics at his café. The light and shadows of the film were also beautifully done, I especially was a fan of the spotlight on the piano player and the shadows it cast on the rest of the scene.
