I just finished watching Casablanca - the old Hollywood classic movie and just felt that I had to write about it. Like many other people in my generation, I have watched my fair share of love stories - starting with Titanic, and followed by Notting Hill, My Best Friend's Wedding, You have got Mail, When Harry met Sally, French Kiss, 50 First Dates and I loved them all. However Casablanca is a class apart.As far as love stories are concerned, it wins hands-down. It made me wonder as to why they have stopped making movies like that anymore.
Casablanca is a 1942 romantic film set during World War II in the uncontrolled Moroccan city of Casablanca. The film was directed by Michael Curtiz, and stars Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine and Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund. It focuses on Rick's conflict between, in the words of one character, love and virtue: he must choose between his love for Ilsa and his need to do the right thing by helping her husband, Resistance hero Victor Laszlo, escape from Casablanca and continue his fight against the Nazis.
The chemistry between Rick and Ilsa is nothing short of outstanding, and their on-screen presence together is stunning and the dialogues are memorable. The movie left me with no doubt as to why it is considered to be among the greatest movies ever made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLdqKUkkM6w.Above is the snapshot of the movie, in form of a song - watch it, u'll enjoy it.
