Review of Casablanca (1943) by Matm — 30 Jan 2021
“Casablanca” is a wonderful movie. For reference, I just watched it for the first time ever in 2021. “Casablanca” is a story of convictions, romance, and lost love. Right from the beginning it throws so much at you that it is hard to keep up, and the story goes in so many unexpected directions.
There are a ton of characters, and yet somehow, every one of them, with the exception of the Nazis, won me over. This movie is super heavy on dialog, but unlike modern cinema where characters talk just to fill time, the dialog in “Casablanca” feels like it is all in support of the plot, which forces you to hang on every word or else you will get lost.
Anyone with a tolerance of full framed black and white should be able to take something enjoyable away from this movie. I give it an A - Make a point to go see this movie.
