Please lok at this : do you feel Casabianca is a film on France ?

Question

Are you fascinated by the film ? Do you know it ?

Did you know that actors were real french refugees from continental France ?

Read the comments : why is it or ( was it ) so trendy to insult France ?

Among the ones who commented I think that we saved a wide part of their east-european families - those people never say thank you ? Does this give them a special right to spit on us?

Does this give the right to denegate that french, such a wide part of my family were shotor deported as resistants ?

Answer 1

Ummm.  Casablanca?  You mean with Humphrey Bogart, (who died in 1957)?  And Ingrid Bergman?  (1982).  The movie that was done in 1942?

Actors were French?  which ones?  Most of the actors in the movie were from Europe, but they were hardly refugees.  They had immigrated a long time before the war started, or even began to warm up.    

Casablanca is a film about the war in EUROPE!  It was called a "World War" for a reason.  It spread to take place in almost all of the populated world!  Is the film about France?  NO!!!  Morrocco WAS a colony of France, and there WERE (and still are) many French nationals there.  French is STILL one of the official languages of the country.  And, yes, many people wanting to escape the war DID go to Casablanca (or other Northern African loales) to do so.  That´s why the story takes place there.  And, yes, there is a scene where the French, to show their national pride, and their opposition to the n***s in the film, stand and sing the National Anthem.  That would be akin to a group of American expats in any other country standing and singing the Star Spangled Banner on the fourth of July.  

Does NOT make the movie a "Film on France."

Answer 2

World War Two ended 60 years ago....it's time you got over it....

Answer 3

I have no use for simple minded attacks on any people. The comments you reference on the YouTube website are absurd and mindless. I do notice that the majority of comments actually appear to be pro-French.

However, it would be worthwhile to note that Casablanca is a story about love and honor and not a story about France per se. It is set in a time and at a place that allow that story to be developed.Various other settings could be used to tell essentially the same story.

Since you bring up the assertion that France "saved a wide part of their east-european families" it is only fair to point out that the French government  turned over its Eastern European refugees to the tender mercies of the n***s without the slightest protest.

Further, that the French government, aided and abetted by the French general public, eagerly turned over French Jews to the Germans to be murdered.

The sad truth is that the n***s required fewer troops per capita to control France than any other country that fell under their occupation.

And, before you protest that this was NOT the French government but "Vichy" I would point out that Vichy WAS the legitimate government of France, voted into existance by the duly elected deputies of the Third Republic acting within the constitution and with full freedom of action.

After all, wasn't that the excuse Mitterand used for working for Vichy?
