Casablanca was a film released in 1942. It was Directed by Michael Curtiz. The film was starred by; Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. The film won numerous awards. It won best picture, best screenplay, as well as best director. Most of all, Casablanca is ranked as one of the top three films, on the AFI top 100 list. Humphrey Bogart is the #1 male actor on the AFI male actor list, and Ingrid Bergman is the number three female actor on AFI’s list, in the female category. Casablanca is a story of love, known for its romantic theme during a time of war. Casablanca was based on an unproduced play called; Everybody Comes to Rick’s by Murray Burnett and Joan Alison. The film takes place in Casablanca during the early 1940’s while the war is going on, where two of the characters are try to obtain visas to go to America to get away from the Nazis. An affair that went on created a conflict in the story making it quite a thrill in the movies outcome. This truly was one of the best movies of all time.
This article was found on the movie review website, Rotten tomatoes. This was the highest approval rating I have ever seen on this website. It is a 97% professional and a 94% audience. The movie definitely deserved its outstanding reviews. The reviews I payed a lot of attention to was the ones written by members of the audience. There were many posts, I reviewed them all and there wasn’t one singe negative one.
Reading this article helped me appreciate the importance of this movie. The famous quotes such as Here’s looking at you kid, Round up the usual suspects, I think this is the start of a beautiful friendship,We’ll always have Paris, Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, and she walks into mine are just a few of a long list of quotes that are heavily influenced on todays films.
While I was watching Casablanca, I couldn't help but appreciate the story line. Movies now-a-days, put too much effort into romantic dramas. This was not the case in this movie, the acting was phenomenal and seemed effortless. I am so glad this film got the recognition it truly deserved. It most definitely deserves to be one of the top three movies of all time.
