in one of my many videos i have attained from the local library , casablanca was my third classic in some weeks .
the others being citizen kane and vertigo ( yes , i am trying to see as many of afi 's greatest movies ever made as i can ) .
but , casablanca stood out from the rest for me : it was actually watchable .
what most hail as the greatest american film ever , casablanca is n't so much a love story as a political frenzy with a love triangle thrown in .
it seems that star humphry bogart spend about 85 percent of the movie with various leaders of the nation instead of with ingred bergman .
that annoyed me , as did the ending .
why did n't the plan turn around ? ! ?
surprisingly , i enjoyed the film .
i liked bogart 's character and his acting
( not over the top as most actors in his era ) .
i once read about if you had a choice to be in a movie , which one would it be , and a women said casablanca .
at first i was thinking to myself " why ?
" then , as i watched the film again , i understood why .
the movie is very well done and the script top - notch , although i doubt i understood more than half of the political mumbo jumbo .
casablanca is , in my mind , no classic ( like solaris ) , but it is a good film and stylishly shot
.
hey , hollywood , how about this : a remake with harrison ford and anne heche ?
now that would be a classic .

in my review of there 's something about mary , i said something to the effect of " laughter is n't everything .
"
i now need to make a brief addendum to my postulate : laughter is n't everything , unless i 'm watching a jim abrahams film .
see , spoofs are easy with me .
i love movies , and i love movies that make fun of movies that i love .
sometimes i 'm the only one in the theater laughing .
sometimes i laugh so hard that i embarass myself because my laugh is so high - pitched in comparison to my speaking voice
( it cuts right through everyone else 's laughter ) .
sometimes i laugh so much that my cheekbones are sore by the end of the film .
abraham 's latest film , mafia !
, induced this kind of hysteria upon me .
it 's gotten some mediocre reviews , but , hey , i 'm the guy who laughs at everything .
there may be a lot of jokes that flop in this film , but there are far more that work , and i laughed so frequently that the failed jokes usually occurred as i was recovering from the previous bout of giddy madness .
i enjoy films like this because not one second of it is serious or thought - provoking .
most lighweight films that pose as comedies try to do other things , like develop characters , shape stories , and other such nonsense .
mafia !
has no pretentions about characters or story , and it exists for no other reason than to make people laugh .
the film begins on the perfect high note , with a mockery of the opening of casino .
our hero ( jay mohr ) is seen walking from a casino and getting into his car , which subsequently explodes and sends him flying through the air against a backdrop of flowing fire . to describe the story of mafia ! is absurd and pointless , but i will mention that it basically follows the framework of the godfather films , with a lot of casino references inserted throughout .
along the way , the parodies seem arbitrary , and rarely victimize mob films : pictures like the english patient , forrest gump , and jaws undergo severe and hilarious bashing .
movies like this rely on just a few things , but the most important element is direction .
abrahams has been down this path many times before ( hot shots ! , top secret ! , airplane ! , and any other film with an exclamation point in the title ) , and so i hold most of the success of mafia !
to his experience .
he takes just the right attitude in each scene , and manages to wring at least a bit laughter out of even the most oddly placed references ( one inexplicable moment seems like it wants to make fun of titanic , but it never develops ) .
the actors are all energetic , which helps a lot with the tone of the film .
mohr ( suicide kings , paulie ) , who is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors , is so good here .
he looks like he 's having so much fun that he 's containing his laughter in every scene ( watch his face in the sequence by the swimming pool ) .
he 's probably the only performer in the cast who manages to urge laughter without the help of the material .
lloyd bridges does a decent imitation of brando 's godfather , while pamela gidley is dead - on in a full - blown mockery of sharon stone .
the hard thing about writing reviews for comedies is that i 'm supposed to give examples of things and be specific .
unfortunately , i was so constantly blindsided by laughter during mafia ! that i ca n't remember a lot of what made me laugh .
but that 's a good sign : mafia !
is so funny that i was n't even given time to apply any of the scenes to memory .
i laughed so hard that it shut off my brain
.
i know that does n't sound particularly complimentary , but when watching a dumb comedy like this , the first thing i want to do is shut off my brain .
finally , a film that does this for me .

do n't let the following quirks of this review , fool you into believing that this movie is anything short of an ultimate labour of love .
but one can see the humour of roberto benigni when you see that ?
life is beautiful , even though i 'm a short , ugly looking man with an obnoxious laugh .
life is beautiful even though i have n't amounted to much in life , except working out the finer intricacies of waitering .
i 'm a lucky sort of a guy , especially when a beautiful woman strips away my venner of superficiality to find a new age , sensitive guy with the biggest heart in the entire world underneath - life is beautiful !
i 'm a jew , but life can still be beautiful .
the nazis put me in a concentration camp , but life is still beautiful .
i love my son very much and that 's what matters , and that 's what makes life beautiful .
my ability to entertain somehow convinces my son that living in a concentration camp is somewhat beautiful ?
i get shot for my efforts and the woman i love , but hey that 's life
and that 's still a beautiful thing -
so by jove do n't give me any crap about it ! by far the movie with the biggest heart this decade and well deserves every nomination and award that it has achieved .
well done , there should be more film directors and actors like you roberto benigni .
