Summary: Casablanca- A Movie that Everyone MUST Watch
Comment: Casablanca is perhaps considered one of the best well-done and most-respected movies of all time. Before I even watched the film, I knew that I would love it from start to finish. So if you are sitting at home wondering what movie to watch, I recommend Casablanca because you will not be disappointed. Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart both do an amazing job in this film. Also this Academy Award winner for Best Picture clearly deserves a round of applause. Perfect film for families, couples, or anyone who wants to enjoy a good movie. Next time you are at Blockbuster or ordering off of NETFLIX, choose Casablanca as your next movie to watch.

Summary: Casablanca
Comment: Casablanca is generally considered to be on of the greatest films of all time. After watching it i can certainly some evidence for it but i'm not sure if i would necessarily hold it in that high regard.
I think a large part of my opinions of this movie come from the fact that it is an older movie and many movies have been influenced directly from it. Watching in today, much of the story, particularly the romance, seemed comical simply because i had seen it used so often. Admittedly, before i saw it i was expecting to not like it at all but luckily i did enjoy most of it. First and foremost i really appreciated the writing. The dialogue, especially between Rick and captain Renault, was both entertaining and intelligent. I found myself enjoying the political intrigue in the film much more than the romance.
I was certainly impressed with this movie. Mostly because of the writing and setting. though I wouldn't call this the greatest film ive ever seen it does deserve most of the credit it receives.

Summary: Classic Romance but....
Comment: Reviewers have called 'Casablanca' the perfect movie and, although I agree that it is a classic it is by no means 'perfect.' The film was, I believe, released in 1945, during the Second World War. Therefore, it is, in some ways, a fairly standard propaganda flick [and there were hundreds of them during the War] saved by the presence of Ingrid Bergman, in all her youthful beauty, and the brooding 'Nick' [Humphrey Bogart]. Bergman's beauty is a thing to behold and Bogart's agony is correspondingly miserable.
Paul Henreid, as Bergman's cuckolded husband, is just too noble for words and the Nazis are appropriately unidimensional and evil. The cynical Vichy French Inspector is indeed perfect as a man who ultimately finds where his loyalties...and soul...lies. "Arrest the usual suspects," he orders, as Bogart, walking away with him in the fog tells him, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Excellent stuff, really.
