"Casablanca" is a 1942 film about a place in Morocco during World War II. This is such a beautiful story. I love how the characters want to be together and you can tell that but they just can't! I am also such a history geek so I loved the historical aspect of it. I don't really know what to say except this is definitely a classic movie! One thing I have noticed about these movies is that the endings are all different. Nowadays it feels as if you can always guess how the movie is going to end. This is especially true with romantic movies. However, these old romantic movies really keep you guessing. I feel as if they are more realistic too. Nothing in this life happens according to plan, especially when it comes to love. You could love someone but they are with someone else. Someone could suddenly fall in love with you, but you think of them as a friend. Love is messy and unplanned. These movies show this because they show exactly how falling in love is complicated and sometimes doesn't work out the way you want it to. This particular movie shows how you can fall in love with someone but have someone else in the picture. Relationships are hard to get into, hard to keep, and even harder to get out of. However, my motto is to just do what makes you happy even if it's hard. For the fantastic Humphrey Bogart, it would have made him happy to be with Isla but he thought of her first. That is the ultimate man who can suppress his feelings and emotions so he can save his true love. It gets me every time. This could be my new favorite movie of all time so I recommend it to everyone and anyone.
