Groundbreaking and beautiful master art of cinema history.
Plot isn't anything difficult, in fact it's a bit empty, not in a bad way, but story gets most interesting in the end, dragging you into the bottomless ocean of love, and then the end is one of the most devastating in all drama history, everything in correct form, character doings made clearly sense.
Acting is miraculously good Humphrey Bogart with stand out performance, ridiculously fantastic acting, Ingrid Bergman gave perfect like performance too, but this three times Oscar winner greater years became later.
Chemistry between these two is the main complex reason why Casablanca succeeded on such a high level, with dark and deep undertone, mostly taking place in one area, Casablanca maintains under all those circumstances a favorable movie for all of us to watch.
This B/W drama achieved groundbreaking Cinematography goals, lights weren't dominating, some scenes where lights were necessary they were used, and Oscar-winning director Michael Curtiz, who was a household name back then, and has now become century defining moviemaking legend, nailed it with Casablanca, scenes couldn't be more perfectly directed than they were in it.
Casablanca achieved something that no-one has ever done before nor after, as wonderful as it is, Casablanca doesn't deserve to be called anything less than a masterpiece.
Rating: 4/4
