GOOD, BUT NOT THAT GOOD



Few movies had a greater impact on popular and cinematic culture than the immortal love story of „Casablanca”. Hence, the expectations from it were huge and, alas, only semi fullfilled.

The story is just plain straightforward, revolving around the American expatriate (Bogart) squirming his ways around Morrocco during the Second world war. When the old love steps in (Bergmann), the cliche won't stop until the very end that is just too expected and pathetic.

However, Humphrey will set the standards for the male cool behavior on silver screen and some of the most memorable lines in the history of cinema will be delivered during the course of this spy and love story.

„Casablanca” is a good movie, but not an excellent one as the majority of ratings and reviews claim to.
