1. The wonderful characters! Each has it's own uniqueness, each brought something special to his/her character. So colourful! The cynic wif a heart, the idealist who is in love, the corrupt official who is faithful, the sidekick who sticks thru thick and thin, the lover who is strong and vulnerable at the same time, the bad guy who is... really bad! i could go on and on! Excellent cast (see no. 8 below)!
2. The storyline - a combination of drama, war, action, comedy, romance, adventure!
3. The script - wif the lines still being quoted to this day!!!! That surely speaks of its quality!
4. The length - neat and compact! No overdoing it. Long enough to keep your attention span - and leaves u just wanting for a bit more.
5. The setting - exotic Casablanca, in Africa, under French control, with the Nazi Germany present, refugees from all over Europe and the States!
6. The twists - just when you thought you had someone figured out, they surprise you!
7. The song! Yes, every good movie must have a good song. "As time goes by" is a classic by itself! Play it, Sam!
8. The quality of the acting. Come on, Humprey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman! Honestly, i initialy thought the posters flattered Bogart. but while his looks may not be a cool as on the poster, he made it up wif his acting! Fantastic! And Bergman - the pictures dun do justice to her beauty! The rest of the cast were excellent too - which resulted in point no. 1 above!
9. It moved me to tears! Enuf said! ;-)
10. The ending - ok, i wont spoil it for those who dun know, altho if u dun know by now, you prolly dun care! Even the actors themselves din know how it was gonna end for most of the filming. Th writers wre still debating over the possible endings til the very last minute. They made the right choice - if it ended any other way, IMHO, it would not be the classic it is today.
