Yeah, Casablanca is pretty great but indeed it needs a little historical perspective, and it is also misunderstood by people who've not really seen it. Like how so many people think Great Gatsby is a romantic story (and even have Gatsby themed weddings and such) whereas it is really about a bunch of entitled arseholes, adulterers, murderers and thieves. Definitely if you go into Casablanca thinking it is the most classic romantic movie of all time...yeah, you'll probably have a bad time.
