The British Invasion was a movement of the 60s where musicians from the U.K. would come to the United States to perform and share their British culture. One of the most famous groups that was a part of the movement was the Beatles and they impacted pop music by bringing new sounds through their song writing
Spoilers ahead, but then again, who isn't familiar with Casablanca, even if one hasn't seen it?
I've been watching 'Casablanca' over and over again since I bought the Special Edition DVD, and is there any film out there one can watch again and again without ever being tired of it? And does any film appeal to a broader audience? Just everything about it seems to be as close to perfection as it only can be.
But what exactly is so special about it? Is it its great genre mix, never equaled by another film? When we think of 'Casablanca' first, we remember it as a romantic film (well, most of us do). But then again, its also a drama involving terror, murder and flight. One can call it a character study, centering on Rick. And there are quite a few moments of comedic delight, just think of the pickpocket ("This place is full of vultures, vultures everywhere!") or the elderly couple on the last evening before their emigration to the US ("What watch?").
<span>But 'Casablanca' is not only great as a whole, it still stands on top if we break it apart and look at single lines of dialog, scenes or performances alone. Is there any other film which has more quotable dialog than 'Casablanca'? 'Pulp Fiction' is on my mind here, and 'All About Eve' and 'Sunset Blvd.' come close, too, but still I think 'Casablanca' tops everything else. And not only is the dialog great, it's unforgettably delivered, especially by Humphrey Bogart ("I was misinformed.") and Claude Rains ("I am shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on here"). Many of scenes have become a part of film history; the duel of 'Die Yacht am Rein' and 'La Marseillaise' is probably one of the greatest scenes ever shot (the only I can think of that would rival it for the #1 spot is Wankel and the globe from Chaplin's 'The Great Dictator'), and the last scene is probably even familiar to the few people who've never seen 'Casablanca'. Am I the only one who is absolutely convinced that the film wouldn't have become what it is today if Rick and Elsa would have ended up as the lucky couple?</span><span />
Answer:
1. The girl
2. To add depth, so people are drawn to the image.
3. The diagonal lines, because the help create a sense of movement and change.
Explanation:
1. It's a very simple concept that consists of placing your main subject somewhere near the lower, upper, left or right third of your photo scene. As you do this, your subject will become the focal point.
2. Background lines can also be used to create a sense of movement in your images, or to convey a sense of distance or depth. Converging lines that disappear into the distance are a great example of lines that help to draw the viewer into the image, while adding a sense of depth.
3. Good photographers are capable of creating images that naturally draw your eye along subtle, organic lines to a specific focal point. In order to achieve this effect, many skilled photographers use a compositional tool known as leading lines. Leading lines are incredibly effective at directing a viewer’s attention, and learning how to use them will greatly improve your photography composition.
