Casablanca

**Casablanca, known as an everlasting classic. One to be remembered ages after its launch. To think this film came out before the conclusion of the second world war tells us also how antiwar the films that came out during this period were in contrast to the ones during the First World War. A cast full of stars, in perhaps a very different acting style but one thats very conveying and efficient. To live in Casablanca, to feel trapped, to live as it goes, listening to our favourite song before the germans come. Hearing and singing La Marseillaise while the Nazis sing, how impactful and deep can that be? I simply cant imagine the strength of feeling at which spectators left their seats in 1942. A film impossible not to relate to, a story of love, yet care for a greater need, peace. With a protagonist that didnt care for much but business, and yet had a space in his heart for love. Screenplay was astounding, the script was well versed as it glued me to the screen for the entirety of the film, something not many classic films can feel proud of. Lets not even talk about the music, cause hell god what a soundtrack. A classic in the 40s, today and for the rest of history.**
