Relax. I’ve shown “Casablanca” to a couple of twenty-somethings recently and both thought it was incredibly great, wondering why we don’t have actors and writers like that now. This article is BS.

It’s a movie that extols freedom. Slate don’t play that.

I agree. Casablanca has a terrific pace, snappy lines, a classic story, and two famous actors at their best. It will always be popular.

It’s my 25 yos favorite movie of all time, ever since he saw it when he was about 17.

Just the other day overheard a twentysomething man tell his lady friends how no one could compare with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and why couldn't they have actors and actresses like that these days.

Let’s not forget that 50 or 70 years ago, the actors cost more than the special effects. Now you can CGI a plane crash into a building, and at the end of the movie there is no debris to clean up. Compared to a 20 Million Dollar package of emotion and ego, and it is easy to see why movie-makers tend to the special effects.

Agreed. It remains a superb film.

I've seen it dozens of times and it holds up very, very well.
