I’d actually kind of like to see that version. Just to compare.
I suppose this sort of censorship looks silly to some people. But to me it’s just like the Taliban blowing up enormous statues of the Buddha or the American Left demanding that statues of Confederate generals come down.
The past is the past. Learn from it. If you hide it and pretend that the stuff never happened, it will not work out well.
Ping.
In the real film Laszlo is a crucial leader of the resistance and Bogart / Bergman sacrafice their own happiness to get him to freedom so he can rejoin the fight. It was noble and sad.
In this one they sacrifice their own happiness so he can escape Interpol and continue to produce whatever death rays he came up with? That would be ... stupid. The whole ending of the movie makes no sense in this rewrite.
Shows you what cowards Warner Bros. is when it comes to artistic integrity. What about Google in China?
We should have made them bite the bullet 50-60 years ago.
Agreed. Trying to eradicate it, as leftists do, is akin to plugging your ears and yelling so you don’t have to face it.
They also showed the movie “The Longest Day” backwards so at the end, the Germans drive the allies back into the sea. (Humor)
Casablanca will be shown on the large screen in a local NJ theatre on Wednesday evening. Though I’ve seen it umpteen times, I’m looking forward to seeing it as it was originally introduced.
Casablanca was on the big screen here a few weeks ago.
It was better than any new offerings at the box office.
LOL!
Could have been worse. One could edit Schindler’s list enough to make it look like a romantic comedy (yes, I know, poor taste… but shows what a bit of editing can do)
Of all the quotable quotes from this movie, this is my favorite...
Renault: What in heaven's name brought you to Casablanca?
Rick: My health. I came to Casablanca for the waters.
Renault: The waters? What waters? We're in the desert!
Rick: I was misinformed.
Talk about FUBAR.
“...I’m looking forward to seeing it as it was originally introduced.”
I saw it while in college at a good theater.
What I recall most was the scene when the airplane to Lisbon was flying over, the camera panned the the crowd looking up at the aircraft, you could really see ‘longing’ in the faces of the people.
Though I have a great TV and an excellent copy of Casablanca, it’s just not as riveting.
Enjoy!
They wouldn’t have been coddled if a little thing called the Cold War hadn’t started.
I hope those are transgendered or photographed by lesbians. Otherwise I feel triggered.
