There is an important point that, from your comment, you missed. When Rick is waiting for Ilsa, he is outside of the train station in the rain and soaking wet but when Sam takes him to the train he is inside the station and drying off. Don't worry about it; many people miss it and it even gets cited as a blooper. However, it sets up the convention in the film that, without Ilsa, Rick is dry inside. He never drinks with customers (he is "dry") until Ilsa comes back into his life. He came to Casablanca "for the waters." In the final shot, having resolved his conflict and begun to live again, he walks onto the wet tarmac in the ground fog. There are a couple of dozen references to wet and dry in this movie, wet always symbolizing life and dry symbolizing death. The German couriers were, after all, murdered in the desert.
Yes my dear people did talk like that! It was a age of manners and tightly controlled passion. We as a nation have lost a lot of wonderful things. GOD BLESS ALL HERE!!!!!!!
A cartoon character based on Peter Lorre (pronounced "Lorey," he played Ugarte) was just seen recently on a new episode of SpongeBob SquarePants. The kids won't get it, but adults might remember movies like The Maltese Falcon, Arsenic and Old Lace and M, all with Lorre. By the way, he co-starred with Sydney Greenstreet (Ferrari) in nine films.
Maltese Falcon! That's where I know him from lol thank you! And thanks for letting me know how his name is pronounced lol we all know I'm bad with that😅
@@HowDidIMissThis It would be concerning if Bogie didn't have a cigarette in hand. This came out in 1943---everyone smoked. Army rations came with a package of Lucky Strikes, 10 cigarettes per package.
Those searchlights are shown to be the lights of the 'control tower' at the airport. It was normal to have a rotating 'lighthouse' light back then, replaced by radio aids over the next few decades. It's a symbol of the people of Casablanca seeking escape; similar to how everyone watched the first plane land. That the light shines on the front door of Rick's place is no accident.
You caught most of the classic lines from this movie but I was a bit disappointed that one of the most impactful was edited out. When Rick was giving his speech to Ilsa at the airport and she asks "But what about us" he replies "We'll always have Paris" , I would loved to have seen your reaction and/or comment to that. I'm sure that as astute as you were about catching other classic lines that you surely recognized that one.
One of my favorite movies. I'm a big Bogart fan and Ingrid Bergman is one of the most beautiful women ever. The movie experienced multiple production problems while it was being filmed. The studio changed directors several times. One director wanted to replace "As Time Goes By" with a song written especially for the film but, by that time, the song was so woven throughout the score that replacing it would have been difficult. The script was still being written and rewritten as they were filming so, up until the last scene was shot, no one knew for sure who was going to get on the plane at the end. This was made during the war, with extras that were real French refugees, so when the two groups of singers faced off in Rick's, you could see the real emotions on the faces of the people singing La Marseillaise. About Peter Lorre, you've probably seen him before in other Bogart movies. These were made during the Studio System, when actors would sign contracts to make movies for only one studio, so it wasn't unusual to the the same actors working together in multiple movies. Although, as you noted, there were many memorable quotes from this film, it's strange that the most famous quote never actually happened. No one in the movie ever said "Play it again, Sam."
Loved this movie! I couldn't imagine the film without "As Time Goes By" it's just such a good song! Also that's really interesting about the face off at Rick's and having used real French refugees! That whole scene was really touching.
You picked a great movie here. And you picked up on a lot (there is so much in this movie) of the little moments in the film. Good job! Bogie was classy, Bergman was a doll, both were just superb. In the scene with Sam, she delivered so much, like little micro-expressions chasing across her face as the scene unfolded. That little smile as she figures out that Sm is lying to keep her away from Rick, the momentary hurt expression when Sam tell her she's "bad luck" to him. The tearing up. How many of today's actresses can deliver so much in a long, long, extended closeup without words like that? BTW, the Hollywood screen writers guild took a poll and Casablanca was recognized as the all-time #1 best screenplay! How about that?
the actual title of the sourse material for "casablanca" was "everybody comes to rick's." odd you would say that title right at the beginning of the video. bogart did three movies in a row, all originaly offered to george raft who declined, that made bogie an "a-list" star. "high sierra" (1941), "the maltese falcon" (1941) and "casablanca" (1942). from then on bogie's film career took off. before that bogie was known for his gangster/tough guy roles. "the petrified forest" (1936), "dead end" (1937), "angels with dirty faces" (1938) and "the roaring twenties" (1939). the last 2 starring jimmy cagney. bogie made many memorable films late in his career that include "the treasure of the sierra madre" (1948), "the african queen" (1951, won him his only oscar) and "the caine mutiny" (1954). all the movies listed are classics and well worth a look! thanks for the video!
Just discovered your channel! What a fun, very concise edit! You cracked me up during the "sing-off" part: "Sit down, Nazi!" lol. I wouldn't have minded a slightly longer edit, especially one that has so many iconic lines as this! Even the lines that aren't "iconic" would be iconic in any other movie: "I'm pointing this gun at your heart." "Fortunately, that is my least vulnerable spot!" 🤣 My favorite is "....but everyone's having such a good time!" (that one is kinda "iconic", I've heard that quoted before). Claude Rains is my favorite character in this movie, in case you can't tell. PLEASE do classics any ole time! I'm class of '87 but even as a little kid, I always watched movies from every era and you have such a good eye, you're intelligent, I hope you continue on dipping in to the oldies. 50s? Singin' In The Rain. A Streetcar Named Desire (no one has done Streetcar yet!) 40s? Citizen Kane! 30s Bette Davis in Of Human Bondage! Freaks! The original King Kong. Even the silent era, 40 years which produced some of the greatest movies I've ever seen. "Sunrise" from 1927, oh my god, you've got to see that movie at some point in your life.
PS: Definitely subscribing! (And how could I leave out the 60s, 70s or 80s? 60s: hmmmm. Rosemary's Baby! A horror movie that only a woman can do justice for. And Bonnie And Clyde! The Graduate! The 60s are like two decades, actually, because of the breakdown of the Hayes Code. So pre-67, I'll go with Psycho. And the 70s: so many. I'll pick a fantastic classic no one has done yet: All That Jazz. Network, that's a super 70s classic that does not have nearly enough reactions for, and so pertinent to today. Annie Hall! One of the greatest ever! And of course, the usuals: Godfather, Chinatown....Carrie... etc. And for 80s? The King Of Comedy and After Hours, two of the best of the 80s (both dark comedies, both directed by Scorsese.). And Sophie's Choice! Meryl Streep's most iconic, greatest performance, a line in the sand in the history of acting......and not one reaction for it yet!!! And it's reaction video gold, trust me, especially one particularly famous scene. A "sophie's choice" is an expression you hear in pop culture from time to time, and in political punditry. The way people use the word "gaslight" which is from another great 1940s movie (with Ingrid Bergman! That's another one you would absolutely ace a reaction for!), people say "a sophie's choice". Zelig (early 80s movie) is another, you'll hear people referred to as a "Zelig". HILARIOUS movie. (and only and hour and fifteen minutes!) Ok, enough from me. I intentionally picked some beloved titles that haven't been done yet (or have very few reactions).
Awe thank you so much! I love the positive energy lol I will for sure look into all the suggestions! Most of them are already on my list lol so I'm very excited to check them out😀
First time seeing your channel. The movie drew me in. It’s one of my favorites. I enjoyed the reaction and I could tell you like the movie. I would keep in mind that the movie was made prior to Pearl Harbor and the USA’s entry into the war. So when the Germans were asking Rick about imagining them in London or New York, that was still up in the air. We all know what happened, but at the time they had no idea. Germany was winning the war that point.
see I told you I was bad with history facts lol 🙃 But this is all so cool to know and helps me better understand the timing of the film. Thanks for the watch!
@@HowDidIMissThis no problem. I’m a fountain of useless trivia so probably see more stuff like this but I’m doing it from a place of sharing knowledge. I think it helps people get more out of the movie the more they know.
@@HowDidIMissThis Actually, photography began in May of '42, with half a script because they were still working on the second half. It was written without any mention of American involvement in Africa, because the Americans didn't invade Africa until 8 Nov. 1942 in Operation Torch. This included an invasion at Casablanca and two other sites in Morocco. The film opened in Hollywood on Nov. 26, but not nationwide until Jan. 23. This implies to me that they rushed its release after the Moroccan invasion occurred. Indeed the mood was very dark, because at production time they really had little confidence of an Allied victory. The Allies did not return to Italy until July of '43. Until that point, the U.S. had not yet engaged the Axis on land outside of North Africa, because they were not yet prepared for such a fight. You have a beautiful reaction to this and it's great to see all the references you know. If you like Bogart, check him out in Key Largo and my personal favorite of his, Dark Victory, even though he was not the lead actor, but he definitely makes himself noticed. He was born in 1899 and died of cancer in '57. He didn't appear in cinema until 1930.
Hi! I appreciate that you want to see more lol. Honestly in editing my reactions most of it was me watching in silence, so I didn't think it was fitting to put all that blank space in the reaction. But I do have a 35min review on my podcast that will drop tomorrow where I talk about everything! I post those on this channel as well. But I will consider maybe putting in some clips of me just watching to make these videos a bit longer.
@@HowDidIMissThis it’s OK if you’re drawn into the movie and don’t comment as much, you’re doing that because it’s so good! People will enjoy watching it along with you. I noticed that the first half of the movie was edited nicely, but I felt the second half was a little chopped. I understand why now but it wouldn’t hurt to put a few more plot points in. 😊
After the Nazi gets shot (at the end) Rick and Louie exchange glances, knowing that if either one tells on the other, they both get arrested. Louie says "round up the usual suspects". Problem solved!
Nobody ever says what Rick did that put him on an 'undesirable' list, but considering the recent regional history he was probably suspected of smuggling guns into Spain for the revolutionaries, or something like that.
@@HowDidIMissThis it is a quick part Captain Rono brings it up to rick when Captain Rono says under that cynical shell i suspect you are a sentimentalist
Too bad your youtube version is only 12 minutes. Yet you spent 37 minutes on Jaws? More of quick review than a reaction like others, who did average about 30 to 40 minutes on youtube. Max Steiner...I'm reading the book about him written by Steven C. Smith in 2020. the grandfather of meaningful music for movies. He changed everything about music to fit the mood of each scene...He did Gone With the Wind also. The most impressive thing to me, a former music teacher, is that you actually KNOW the song As Time Goes By...I'm more in love with Yvonne than Ilsa Lund...that actress was the last one left alive who was in that movie, Madeleine Lebeau, 1923 -2016.
Hi! Thanks for watching. I know this reaction video was a little short, but I am working on that. When editing the raw footage of my reaction there was so much of just me watching the movie I didn't think that kind of "blank space" was needed. But I am trying to find the best way to make my reactions a little longer. I do a podcast review of all the movies as well and those are always more detailed and way longer than my reactions lol I post them on here as well. I loved the music in this film! As Time Goes By is one of my all time favorites😍 I can't wait to see Gone with the wind! It's definitely going to be reviewed soon!
