casablanca
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.
