During Casablanca’s filming, a few already famous actors include, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid.
Humphrey Bogart had already been in some films including, the Maltese falcon and Sabrina. Ingrid Bergman had previously stared in gaslight and Notorious. Paul Henreid had been in now voyager and rope of sand.
Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman were already under the contract of warner bros during the filming of Casablanca.
I feel that Humphrey Bogart was cast as rick for his history of playing though characters which reflects rick as an anti hero, Ingrid Bergman was casted as isle for the movies love interest.
6/10 film I liked rick shooting the officer. its an alright movie but nothing special in my opinion. bad audio quality. would be a seven but lost a point for hurting my ears at the end.
The Eyeline match was great, and the love between rick and ilsa was very distinct. mise en scene including costume (i absolutely loved ilsas costumes!) and composition of pictures were okay however i think camera work couldve been more extravagant to enhance emotions. storyline was good however confusing at times.
most memorable scene: this is the moment when Rick and Ilsa are are spending their last moments together as the love he has for her makes him let go to keep her safe.
I think this film had a good romantic narrative however for me it was difficult to go along with the story as alot was happening.
My memorable scene would be the scene where Sam plays the piano song for Ilsa as this song is Ilsa and Ricks song so it’s an emotional scene for her and brings back her memories that takes the audience with her.
Most memorable scene: this is the most memorable scene as its the last moment between Rick and ilsa, who are destined to be together but war keeps them apart. It also shows the love and dedication that Rick has for Ilsa.
i think that Casablanca was a 6/10 film, it had a good musical score, and camera shots, and was written well, a memorable scene is the opening scene as it shows what kind of place Casablanca was and how it isnt safe
Memorable Scene: When Rick reveals to Ilsa he won’t leave Casablanca with her and Victor. I found this memorable as it shows what Rick is willing to do in order to ensure that Ilsa is safe, even if he’s not with her.
I liked the film, and a lot of shots were very well done and flowed very well, however I found the story very all over the place, and few times actually grabbing my attention.
This is an iconic shot for me as this really brings the audience outside of the gloomy reality they live in, and into this fantastical romance, and its composed so they are in the centre and we focus just on them, nothing else.
a memorable scene for me was when they were battling over each other in the bar with the music, which showed people uniting with excitement and emotion which was a much needed shift in tone.
