Comparing Casablanca to 1984
How can a hero survive in a world gone mad? Both Casablanca,
the classic 1940s film, and hailed as the greatest movie ever by some,
and 1984, a piece of classic literature by George Orwell, also seen as
being one of the most important novels of the 20th century, revolve
around a world in chaos, where no one trusts anybody else, and a war
wages on within and without. ...
In Casablanca, we emerge with a feeling of hope, and joy, that
the forces of good can win, and that eventually we will triumph over
our enemies, wherever or whatever they may be. While slochky and
romantic, Casablanca is a touching movie, and probably one of the best
ever made. ... Both 1984 and Casablanca deal with a world
gone mad, and the struggles of not-so-ordinary people. ... In 1984, we see
that truth is temporary, and in Casablanca, people are not always who
they seem. ...
Casablanca deals with a festive arena in the midst of war,
Ricks Café Americain, and 1984 deals with the opposite, a dismal view
of a war torn London.
