Awix (3310 KP) rated Casablanca (1942) in Movies

Casablanca (1942)
Casablanca (1942)
1942 | Drama, Romance, War
Enduringly popular wartime romantic drama is also sparklingly quotable and (not often mentioned) works as an allegory about the Second World War - Western Europe (Henreid and Bergman) would really like the help of America (Bogart) to escape from the clutches of Nazi Germany (Veidt); France (Rains) is in two minds about the whole thing.

Despite the fact this is regularly studied as an example of a perfectly-constructed story, it's probably best not to look too closely at some elements of the plot. The performances and dialogue are so winning that you give the movie a pass on this anyway. Everyone has their favourite Casablanca moment, whether it's one of the romantic bits, one of the jokes, a song, or whatever. Beyond simply being made with skill and sincerity, it's quite hard to determine what makes this film quite so special, but the fact remains that it is deservedly a legend.

Love This Game
This was such a short, sweet game. Most of the game strategy is making sure that you get close to your target character, and then winning a climatic battle to finish the game. The writing was clever, the art was pretty and characters were interesting.
