      Bogart never said "play it again Sam". From memory he said "you played it for her, now play it for me Sam". The scene at the end with the aircraft was actually a scaled down Dc-3 with former "Munchkins" providing the crew for said Dc-3. It's all a matter of camera angles and scale.

    Great video. I think you had a slightly deviated approach to present the city. True it is a business tourist destination but the average tourist won't be able to appriate this part. But in fact the most shining part of the city is its role as a financial hub bridge between Europe and Africa. Casablanca is hosting headquarters of several companies and banks operating in several european and african countries.

    I haven’t been to Casablanca but I have been to Agadir and Marakesh. They were both beautiful places. We lived in Germany at the time and used a German tour company for our trip to Morocco. From the airport to the hotel area there were checkpoints at every intersection. When my husband and I left the hotel grounds we had “undercover “ minders following us around. We didn’t care much, we were after all American soldiers on leave. We were open minded and respectful of the people around us and we had a really great time. I think the only time I got a little miffed was when we were leaving and the female officer was giving me a hard time going through security, something about not taking Moroccan coins out of the country. (It’s not allowed apparently) other than that I would go back again.

    A very related story, but actually quite different, would be an account of Tanger (or Tangier as it is known in the West). It's nearby and quite abit smaller than Casablance, but in my visits to Morocco, I found Tanger much more fascinating than the much vaunted Casablanca. Its history is wild, but sadly (almost) no one goes to Tanger.

    Star Trek - The Next Generation even had a tribute episode in the 1st season, "We'll Always Have Paris". The Enterprise responds to a distress call, and Picard runs into an old flame, one that he ran out on in Paris when they were to meet up.

    If any of you don't enjoy Simon's presentation of detailed history, and you feel you have to leave a thumbs down, then just don't watch. He has never been a hack. Sounds like you people are who give it a thumb's down. It's always a short capsule of history in one are of the world. Learn something!

      Hi Lynn, I liked your comment that ended with "Learn something" :-) I'm setting you some homework if you are up to the challenge.
      Simon said "... the barbary priates would run up and down the mediterranean coast stealing from villages and robbing wealthy european ships."
      Let me know if you think this is a reasonable summary of their activities ? I've never given a thumbs-down to Simon myself - I like him too much - but I'm hoping you'll figure out why some people do so. History is too important to miss out (perhaps deliberately) the worst parts.
      My assumption is that the thumbs-down are not for missing out important parts of history, but for missing out parts selectively that someone less generous than myself (or you) might consider to be partisan.

      My advise as a moroccan is : For now , visit Tangier , Marrakech , Chefchaouen , Hoceima ...etc .
      As for Casablanca give it 3 years from now , since they are building new projects there and It will look good in 2-3 years time . Now It's just like a big workshop !

    Please fix the terminology used in this video! Berber is often considered a slur for the *amazigh* people who are still a major demographic across Morocco (as well as several other countries). Additionally, the amazigh people can be broken into several other groups that have their own dialects, traditions, and cultural aspects. If asked, most "berber" people will say they are amazighi, or their particular sect (rifi, saharawi, zayanes, kabyle in algeria, etc) The word Berber is used to relate to tourists who dont know the history or the local culture, and its inappropriate for a Geographics video to use a eurocentric term that is often considered a slur. The amazigh people existed before the Islamic Conquest of the Maghreb and still play a huge role in society today.

      I was not aware of this distinction, I have been to Agadir and Marrakesh but the tour guide(who was Moroccan)never explained it to us or even mentioned it to my recollection.

    • @newstarttn
      @newstarttn 4 года назад +1

      @@medusagorgo5146 to be honest, a lot of tour guides are catering to what people are interested in, and most tourists dont know about amazighi people as a distinction. For people taking day tours especially, they often prioritize other things (French occupation, history of architecture, souk culture, etc). However, there is a lot of evident amazigh culture that just isnt mentioned enough to tourists. Couscous is amazigh. The moroccan dialect (darija) would be completely different without the influence of tamazight and other amazigh languages. There are different groups of amazigh just between the different Atlas mountain ranges! Gnawa (a famous music variety) came from amazigh people, and it's especially famous in Essouira. There are 1001 amazing contributions, but most are still underrepresented in origin ☹ I hope you get to return and see some of the beauty. I highly suggest the Royal Institute for Amazighi Culture (institut royal de la culture amazighe) in Rabat for when you return!
