Casablanca is a flawless film that is both sad and hilarious. It is a wonderful melodrama that keeps you hooked and although it is not in my top ten films it is a great film.
The plot is wonderful and always makes perfect sense. It is a little melodramatic yes but how could they keep our attention with something more like real life. The screenplay is just as amazing with flawless and quotable dialogue and amazing twists and characters. The performances are the best part of the movie. Humphrey Bogart gives one of his best performances and is amazing but it is Ingrid Bergman who is the standout. She gives one of the best performances in movie history. The direction was also flawless and deserved the Oscar for sure. The visual effects are very good but not as flawless as the rest of the movie. They sometimes look fake but always work fine the way they are.
Casablanca is a classic that should be seen by everyone. Particularly teenagers. That may sound weird but its true. We really connect with it.
