My favorite movie is Iron Man, but if I were to watch one movie over and over on a deserted island, it would have to be Casablanca. I like this movie because I’m highly nostalgic and it brings back a lot of memories. My first encounter with it was on the Great Movie Ride at Disney’s MGM (now Hollywood) Studios. Our car broke down in front of the Casablanca scene and we were stuck there for roughly twenty minutes. I can’t even count how many times I heard “Here’s looking at you, kid” before the ride finally resumed. The next time I encountered it was during Ethics class in high school. My senior class watched it and the teacher brought our attention to the cinematography and how things were portrayed back in the 40s. I also like how although the main character Rick is somewhat hardened, he has enough of a heart and decency to let the movie end the “right” way.
I prefer watching a film at a theater as opposed to watching it on another platform. For me, the theater is a better setting to watch a movie. The popcorn (though overpriced and occasionally burnt), the other audience members (sometimes they get too out of hand), and watching it on a big screen. I also LOVE the opportunity to watch a film when it opens at midnight. But watching movies at home is good too because you’re in your own environment and can watch it however and whenever you want.
I did not watch the Academy Awards on Sunday because I’m not really one to watch awards shows. I’m not there, the people don’t necessarily care about me watching, and I don’t know any of the actors or actresses personally to be happy for them if they won or sad if they lost.
