Caitlin

So glad you did this. Its my favourite movie, I even named my dog Bogart after Humphrey (as he kinda looks like him) and my cat Ilsa.

Many years ago, back before we had a VCR or cable TV, a local college had a screening of Casablanca in their theater. I can remember thinking when my parents took me to see it, "I dont wanna watch some dumb old black and white movie." And afterwards, I was thinking it was one of the best movies I'd ever seen. 40-odd years later I still think that. Thanks for giving me an excuse to watch it again :)

Congratulations, Mary! You fell in love with Casablanca and joined the millions and millions of people all over the world that have fallen in love and loved this movie for the past 80 years. It won the Best Picture Oscar and was released in 1942. This was after Pearl Harbor and America's entry in WWII. But the movie was made in 1941 before Pearl Harbor. Before America entered the war, the majority of Americans wanted to stay out of it and were neutral. The last thing the ordinary American wanted was to be involved in another World War. Rick's character was a stand in for how America felt at the time the movie was made, all neutrality and wanting just to look out for oneself. but just like America in real life, Rick did what was right in the end. S much could be said about this movie and other patrons and dozens of people on YouTube will do just that. Authoritative cinema scholars have called this movie the finest example of Hollywood storytelling in the Golden era. I'm glad you got to watch this classic movie and believe me when I tell you that there are many other wonderful movies made in the 30's, 40's, and 50's, just as good as the movies made today. My biggest recommendation is still to watch The Best Years of Our Lives, the 1946 Best Picture Oscar winner, about the aftermath of WWII in America. You might love it just as much as this film. Either way, you have still made me very happy by watching one of OUR favorite movies in Casablanca.

One of the consensus best of all time. Eminently quotable (and misquotable), it tells its story through all the facets of movie making: shot composition, lighting, blocking, music, dialogue, gesture, and so on. If you love the visual style, you should check out other films noir. You can see Bogart (Rick) and Sydney Greenstreet (Ferrari) in the legendary The Maltese Falcon. Film noir at its finest. Another classic is Double Indemnity starring Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck.

So happy you have seen this movie. You will begin to notice how many references there are to it in movies and pop culture. It was filmed just before the US entered into WW2 so Ric sitting on the sidelines was what America was doing at the time as well. If you can find some of the 'making of Casablanca' posts on youtube they can be worth watching.

I just finished watching the full reaction.... Rick is upstairs and he hears singing and thinks something might be up, he goes to the door to see what it is, they're singing a German anthem. Rick exchanges knowing looks with several people, they all know this isn't right and it could be trouble. Then Laszlo comes out standing behind Rick. The Germans are singing louder now, there is much tension among patrons of the bar. I'm sure there were clenching of fists or virtual clenching of fists, the place is a powder keg. Laszlo walks down the steps and in a hurry goes to the band and asks them to play the French national anthem. The musicians look to Rick who nods the go-ahead. Then we see everyone join in singing "La Marseilllaise" in unison much louder now until their hearts are about to burst. We see the French lady Yvonne is also singing.

There are many "greatest film of all time" candidates that probably meant more when they were made, or have elements that have been lost or changed with age, but Casablanca is truly timeless. The witty dialogue, perfect performances, rich tension, and beautiful romance are all just as potent as they were 80 years ago. It is hard to imagine two people more destined to be movie stars than Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, him with his deadpan delivery and soulful eyes, her with her incredible beauty and sharp wit to match. Another great Bogart movie (albeit a much darker one) is the film noir In a Lonely Place, co-starring Gloria Grahame. He was also married to Lauren Bacall, one of the most famous Hollywood power couples in history, They made several movies together, including the twisty noir The Big Sleep. If you listen to Warner Bros. current logo, the beginning is a riff on "As Time Goes By," as a tribute to this crown jewel of their library.

Once again, it seems it's absolutely impossible for a film to truly surprise Mari because she figures out the twist halfway through the movie every single time. Which is all the more impressive given that she hasn't seen that many movies. We need to vote for a film that will totally blindside her, one with a story that's impossible to predict. But which one??

Adaptation (2002) or Being John Malkovich (1999), both written by the Kaufman brother and directed by Spike Jonze. Slightly more mundane, but a multiple Academy Award winner, American Beauty (1999)?

with tears streaming down her face, I think she represents whatever questionable things one has done in order to survive but inside is where true sentiment lies and we can see what her true feelings are. Love this scene. You can see Rick is the real power behind it because the band won't play without his approval but Victor represent the lightning rod and he is the focus but it's the people around him that are enabling these things to happen.

I hate to "well, actually" this, but while the play on which it was based predated America's entry into WWII, the movie was written and produced in 1942, and then released late that year. Though, of course, the movie takes place in December of 1941, so the parallel was certainly intentional. :)

Yes you are right, I did make a misstatement when I said the movie was made before Pearl Harbor. A few people in the You Tube comments said this as well. I made my usual snarky comments on YouTube when people referenced the studio propaganda about the film, but those comments have all been deleted. I must remember to play nice in the YouTube comment section, it is nasty enough there already.

Now that you've seen this Mary, you should watch When Harry Met Sally.

Patrick Reynolds

Yes, Mary. I loved this movie. I've seen it so many times I can't count. But it never gets old. In fact, it just becomes more beautiful and meaningful with age. Thanks for sharing your reaction. Here's looking at you kid. 🥰
