Casablanca by Dylan Griffin

"Casablanca." Set in unoccupied Africa during the early days of World War II: An American expatriate meets a former lover, with unforeseen complications."

The shot composition is very good. Storyline was very diverse, in its number of shots, as well as the content and meaning of each individual shot in regards to as how they are set up. Lighting is fairly hard to comment about, it was in black and white so not really much to talk about. But for a story with really not a whole lot of action to speak of, it surprised me that i actually watched it the whole way through, and ended up liking it because it had a very intriguing plot, with characters that I had no problem believing, and a protagonist I really enjoyed. Watching his struggles and oppression due to the Nazi presence in Casablanca made me feel something, since it is still such a raw topic so many years after the ordeal.
