Casablanca Critique
Lighting is used very effectively with contrast and saturation (opaques/hues) throughout the film, from the angelic glow on Ilsa Lund Laszlo, to Rick Blaine’s dark lighting used to emphasize his alcohol consumption. The spot lights can also be seen on the walls of the club as the Gestapo run about in the city. Creating a mood of uncomfortness and abandonment. Music is nostalgic, especially when Sam, the piano player, begins to play ”As Time Goes

Without friendship, life would be missing a major
