Humphrey Bogart was one of the world's greatest movie stars. A talented actor with an incredible presence on the screen, the man made dozens of films during his career before dying in all-young for 57 years. Many of his films are also timeless classics that have changed the cinema's face, although there is one, in particular, it is considered practically perfect, at least according to Roths. Of course, I think of no one other than "Casablanca", a movie that has only one negative review of 135 On the web sitegiving him 99% "fresh" result.

Remember, "Casablanca" is far from Bogart's only film with a result in that range. In fact, it is not even the highest ranked on the RT, with the actor of 1948 "The Wealth of Sierra Madr" is one of Bogart's several vehicles that currently has a 100% result. Similarly, his 1941 Nor Flick "Maltese Sokol" has a 99% based on 111 views, while "The African Queen" - the romantic adventurous film in 1951, which won Bogart Oscar for Best Actor and saw it not only with not only infinite Some leeches in real life To raise - not far behind with 96% based on 52 views.

Directed by Michael Curtis (with Jululius J. Epstein, Philip G. Epstein and Howard Koch Sharing Credit to the Chaotically assembled film scenario), "Casablanca" is one of those great permanent classics that is much more than the sum of its parts. It is a story of refugees told by refugees, a melodramatic romance set during the hell of the war and it is an impression of our cultural subconscious that is impossible to deny.

Despite the setting of the World War II era, Casablanca is a timeless story of a man (Bogart) who enters the woman who loved (Ingrid Bergman), forcing them to doubt how fate has separated them and whether they will be together again. "Looking at the film over and over, year after year, I think it never grows excessively", " As Roger Ebert wrote In a four -star review published in 1996. "Game as a favorite music album; the more I know that, the more I like it." Nothing matters to the film; As Ebert has noted, "no one does" Casablanca "thought they were making a great movie. It was simply another edition of Warner Bros.. "

Indeed, it's pretty unwanted melodrama; Even Paulin Kael, a critic of which he never feared (and some would say notorious) dancing on the rhythm of his own drum, admitted that the film has "special attractive romanticism, and you never really pressed to understand your melodramatic twists and turns seriously" In her review. And, of course, without any context, the film may look a little theater, but when you remember it was released the same month in 1942 that the Nazis attacked real Casablanca, occupies a particularly new level of meaning.

As for Martin Scripts, the lonely dissident of RT film? He simply quoted him describing the film as "overwhelmed", which was probably not won by her central romance. Well, you can't win everyone, right? (Scripts also referred to himself as "pedant, poet and sut", so you probably need to take his opinion with grain salt anyway.)

If you still need further conviction that Casablanca is worth the time of day, you should not look beyond many other accolades of the film. In addition to its RT result, the film made the film Ebert's own list At all times great films, despite trying "Third Man" and "Goodfellas" for 63rd place 2022 Sight and Sound Survey (The results of which were based on votes of 1,639 "critics, programmers, curators, archivists and academics").

Most important of all, naturally made "Casablanca" /Own List of the Movie at the 100 Best Films of All Time. Writing about the film for us, Whitney Seibard repeated Ebert's reconciliation, noting that the film is a humble product of the old Hollywood study system, which, which, almost by accident, appeared as "indelible and timeless" classic instead. "The drama is beautiful, romance is moving, politics is intrusive, the characters are exalted. Even" as time goes on, "written for the film to sound like an old standard, to become an old standard in itself," as he said.

Again, there are many films by Bogart to enjoy there, but only "Casablanca" has managed to cement our collective consciousness in such a deep way. Not only recognized in retrospect, because the film won the Oscars for the best picture, the best director and the best scenario The year that came out (beating other great candidates as "for whom" white toll ") moreover, has since been addressed to everything from cartoon cartoons to mistakes to mistakes. Pamela Anderson's cult film "Barb Wire" (which somehow has the same plot as strange as it may sound).

Briefly? If you've never seen it, make a good thing and watch "Casablanca". 'Lle to be the beginning of a nice friendship with a fantastic movie.
