in one of my many videos i have attained from the local library , casablanca was my third classic in some weeks .
|
|
the others being citizen kane and vertigo ( yes , i am trying to see as many of afi's greatest movies ever made as i can ) .
|
|
but , casablanca stood out from the rest for me : it was actually watchable .
|
|
what most hail as the greatest american film ever , casablanca isn't so much a love story as a political frenzy with a love triangle thrown in .
|
|
it seems that star humphry bogart spend about 85 percent of the movie with various leaders of the nation instead of with ingred bergman .
|
|
that annoyed me , as did the ending .
|
|
why didn't the plan turn around ? ! ?
|
|
surprisingly , i enjoyed the film .
|
|
i liked bogart's character and his acting ( not over the top as most actors in his era ) .
|
|
i once read about if you had a choice to be in a movie , which one would it be , and a women said casablanca .
|
|
at first i was thinking to myself " why ? "
|
|
then , as i watched the film again , i understood why .
|
|
the movie is very well done and the script top-notch , although i doubt i understood more than half of the political mumbo jumbo .
|
|
casablanca is , in my mind , no classic ( like solaris ) , but it is a good film and stylishly shot .
|
|
hey , hollywood , how about this : a remake with harrison ford and anne heche ?
|
|
now that would be a classic .
