Over the years – A Modern Review of the Classical Movie Casablanca
With the rise of our present day society, we're flooded with movies every year. The web, cinemas and DVDs allow us to to be up to date with the new movie trends and provide us some conversation material while drinking coffee with friends. But to tell the truth, we simply discuss the most recent movies and how cool the special effects look like. Using the rebirth from the 3D cinematic experience we're much more in a position to feel area of the movie.
Classical movies are all but forgotten within this twister of new Hollywood blockbusters. Casablanca is one of the classical movies you have heard about from your grandparents, at least I've. I usually thought a classical movie can't be interesting as well as entertaining. Now I am happy to say that I had been wrong. The film already enchanted me at the start. The intro music gave me goose bumps and the introductive narrative, which explains the setting from the movie, the ultimate years prior to the start of World war ii. Of course it's not Morgan Freemans dramatic voice that enhances the quality of the introductory part. Nevertheless the introduction pulls you directly into the movie. You forget the movie is filmed in monochrome; the first shot from the streets of Casablanca appear very colorful using the intense music. With enough imagination, you don't need 3D technology to find the feeling "that you are standing on the crowded streets", the strength of this movie is that it pulls you into the scene, a trait not many of our modern movies can make use of.
The plot from the movie is very simple. We obtain to understand Rick, portrayed by Humphrey Bogart, a saloon owner along with a highly respected person, even from the side from the authorities. Throughout his remain in Paris, Rick falls deeply in love with Illsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman), but is left heartbroken, when she does not appear in the stop, when they are scheduled to depart for Marseille. Illsa later comes to Casablanca by having an interesting companion, Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid). Laszlo is a notorious underground activist who works against the Third Reich and that has also been able to escape from one of their concentration camps. The recently arrived pair wants to try to flee Casablanca to Lisbon and then to America. The plot thickens using the arrival of Major Heinrich Strasser, who's detirmined to keep Laszlo in Casablanca.
The story of the movie will make you laugh at sometimes, but it will even push yourself on the advantage of shedding tears. The love triangle, between Rick Illsa and Laszlo, is first hard to understand, not 'till the end of the movie when it's resolved.
The musical score within this movie can also be very enjoyable. It is very interesting to listen to classical 1950' music which really brings color and emotion to any or all the scenes in the movie.
