Casablanca

Just watch this classic on okto. Sweet story, beautiful actress....




乱世儿女,恩怨情长。我好幸运不是出世在那年代.....

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

It was this song that prompted me to watch this classic

"Casablanca - Bertie Higgins"



I love this song, or the 80's love songs for that matter.

I love all things classic.. including these black and white movies. Though they look outdated compared to our modern technology, there is something special in them. Maybe it's the songs, maybe it's the charisma of the actors or maybe just simply the effects of black and white that rouses nostalgic feelings.

I love their hairdo, I love their dresses, I love their makeup... hmm... maybe I should be in a museum... :p
