If I had to choose one film that represents Hollywood’s involvement in the Second World War, it would have to be Michael Curtiz’s 1942 film “Casablanca” .

The film is, from the producers’ time view, about current events thereby the film will…

postmodern film will stick out and grab the viewers’ attention to itself and its methods of formation. It is a film where anything goes, being one of the main postmodern beliefs. In this analysis, I will compare and contrast two films, Black Swan and Casablanca, the first is a jolting postmodern, and the second film, an indisputable classic.

of love romance, sex, and love has changed since this movie has been created. It was a good movie to watch, but to me I don’t believe this movie should be ranked number one, I have watched more romantic and passionate movies that are better than Casablanca.
