Advantages: Western comforts if that's your thing Disadvantages: Wealth divide, Lack of culture, unfriendly locals
I arrived in Casablanca by train and took a taxi to the city centre where i planned to stay. The taxi driver seemed to drive around in circles even though I'd given him a map in French of where I wanted to go, eventually dropping me off around half a mile away.
I'd spent a bit of time in Morocco in the cities and desert and was wholey disappointed by Casablanca. Travelling on a budget I saw most of what the westerners staying at the beach resorts missed. The dead animals on the side of the streets and plenty of fighting between the locals.
The city itself is trying to be as western as possible. Plenty of boutiques and fast food restaurants and the touristy market in the old town area is overpriced and low quality compared to the other regions in the country.
The hassan II mosque on the coast is something worth going to see ...
Advantages: Classic film given the treatment it deserves Disadvantages: none
This is an indisputable classic, constantly near the top of polls on the best and most loved movies of all time. I got hooked in my early teens and before long a six-foot poster of Bogart in classic snappy suit and cigarette in hand looked down on me from my bedroom wall. Watching the film now and looking back (one or two years later!) it's still easy to see how the mixture of humour, style and heroism won me over then and hopefully this features-laden disc will help introduce the film to a new audience.
The story is set in Casablanca, Morocco in 1941 when the city is a vital point in the escape route for refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied Europe. From here planes departed for Lisbon and then the United States but official exit visas were needed to embark the plane. Casablanca itself is allegedly under French control but with the Vichy ...
Advantages: Can be seen over and over again Disadvantages: Not many
Don?t get me wrong ? I will watch Casablanca again and again, and thrill to those moments in the film we all know ? but can this film really be one of the best ever made? Just watch the opening, and ask yourself whether it is has quality, or does it resemble an early episode of The Saint? Yes, I know about how the director used certain techniques to draw the attention from and to certain areas, but does he really rank alongside Fellini or Bunuel? That said, I?ll still switch on whenever it?s shown, but why? I think it must rank as one of the top movies that people would vote to see again and again, but the reason evades me. Weird!! ...
