Casablanca

I like to remember some movies, and "Casablanca" is one of them. It's an eternal story of a love that couldn't be fulfilled. On the other hand, this is a great conversational drama with absolutely perfectly polished characters that are so stylized that they simply have to enchant you. Bogart, Bergman, Rains, Lorre, and Veidt, these are names that create tremendous quality in one film. Simply something that a movie fan should see. (09/09/2014)

The naive political background and lack of chemistry between the central duo bothered me. Although I really like Bergman, she isn’t convincing at all here and it is probably impossible to believe that Rick and Elsa were ever bonded by fateful, undying love. In my opinion Bogart always belonged, belongs and will belong to Bacall or Grahame. This is a quality picture, but one of the more standard Bogart movies. (21/01/2005)

As time goes by... The most beautiful fate woman and the most charismatic cynic collided once and events occurred that changed not only the world around them, but also the world within them. And when it was revealed how small the whole world can be fatefully, the consequences were no less serious. I ​​want to experience my own Casablanca and I want to become part of such a timeless duo. Even though I will never be Bogart and I will never be able to demonstrate courage and humanity so fundamentally. So feel free to curse clichés as you like. Because they all have their beginning and it is right here. In Casablanca, where refugees from all corners of the world flee during World War II... (03/06/2005)

The film features the Swede Ingrid Bergman, Englishmen Claude Rains and Sydney Greenstreet, Germans Conrad Veidt, Peter Lorre and Hans Heinrich von Twardowski, Italian Paul Henreid (playing a Czechoslovakian with a Hungarian name), Madeleine Lebeau and Marcel Dalio from France... and many others under the direction of Hungarian director Manó Kertész Kaminer. What could be a more Hollywood classic? It’s a paper-rustling romance that, due to fate, became something much more. Perhaps it is because of the paradox of the way in which the exiles mixed themselves into the story of exile. (04/02/2009)

A film that reeks of sentimentality just like its title. Casablanca, the gateway to paradise and a better tomorrow, away from the horrors of war and the deadly Nazi tentacles. Casablanca, Bogart and Bergman, whose paths had previously diverged, but fateful attraction and the events around them tighten the noose again. Casablanca, a happy ending as inevitable as Adolf Hitler's fate after the Normandy landings. Casablanca, I am under its spell, I admire the performance of the mesmerizing Bogart and the beauty of Ingrid Bergman, I devour every line of dialogue and the notion of a film classic comes to me literally from every shot and cut. The film ends and I rate it with four stars, not because I see in it a cult classic, a dazzling idea or a creative revolution, but simply because I found so very pleasant to watch, that the sentimentality did not tarnish the final quality and that Casablanca is..... well, in short, a very special place:-) 80% (25/08/2013)
