I hate it when people say stuff like: "You should watch this because it's a masterpiece!"
Those people are annoying idiots.
Also:
You should watch this because it's a masterpiece!
"Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine."
i like how i slowly went from "hmmm... this will probably be overhyped" to "lovely movie but i'm not feeling it" to "that's their song and sam is playing it... again" to "wow, imagine watching this in 1942 when you didn't even know if the Allies would prevail against the Nazis and here they are singing in a bar with fear and courage on their faces" to "WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE PARISSSS" as i fling myself on the couch.
“I’m shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here”.
“Your winnings sir”.
“Oh, thank you very much”.
i got to see humphrey bogart say "we'll always have paris" on the big screen and i need to be carried out of this theater in a stretcher
the two main men in this movie look exactly the same. she didn’t really have to choose, could’ve just picked either one and used her imagination a bit
Nobody fucking told me that THAT was what Casablanca was about. It's midnight and I'm sobbing like a fool. God. Some things are just too beautiful.
Interesting choice by Michael Curtiz to light Ingrid Bergman with the luminescence of 50,000 brilliant diamonds. Must have been expensive.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

It's strange to think about Casablanca in any way other than saying, "duh, it's Casablanca". Often films accumulate such an impact on popular culture, and find such success in scholarship and academia, that talking about them as 'movies' is weird! Possibly to the point of feeling reductive. But yes, Casablanca continues to be one of the best, no matter its enormous popularity and influence. It's a ravishing studio-backlot wartime romance that practically leaps off the screen with the help of Bogart's existential pain rendered physical and Bergman's angelic close-ups. If this movie were made today, it would be a plodding 2 hours and twenty minutes of clumsy set-up and obvious screenwriting. As it stands, Casablanca has the energy of…
