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.

Resistance fighter Victor Laszlo became a Norwegian atomic physicist, renamed Victor Larsen, who discovers mysterious delta rays and is on the run from Interpol.

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.

Coddling German sensitivities in the early post war years is why the Germans are dealing with their shame and guilt in the misguided and self-destructive way they are now.

We should have made them bite the bullet 50-60 years ago.

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.

One of my favorite movies of all time. When good movies did not rely on CGI graphics nor gutter humor/vocabulary.

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.
