Thatīs true. But we all needs our heros, or I better said most of us, that would not be too arrogant of a ringing in my ears.
The point was how can one compare AND dismisse the real film, the one that is made of human flesh, of blood, of love, of purity, of sensibility, of shame, to a cartoon, even if pleasantly romantic, professionally played, well photographed, but a work made " a la chaine " like Curtis did with more or less " bohneur ".
How can he dare!
And I really like Casablanca.But for what it is.
Follow Ups:
I also love many films with Eastwood and Bronson for the same reason - we all need a dose of tostesterone fantasy from time to time.But the original question was about the "perfect" film... that is one tough call!
Easwood grew better and better, for Bronson...I did like a some but...it was just too caricatural....one look at each was enough for my soul....
In a contemporaneous review of "Death Wish", a critic wrote (paraphrase), "We are expected to believe that Bronson is a successful architectural engineer, when he looks like he'd have trouble signing his own name".
