I would be interested to see if they would do a modern making of the show, It would be nice to see what adaptations they would take to make it appeal to people of todays
When they make it home, Thomas tells Victor one request and that is, “Just one time when I am telling a story somewhere, why don’t you stop and listen?” (Alexie 422). Victor agrees and that is when Alexie’s purpose of the story is accomplished.

But what specifically do the critics like about Casablanca that has resulted in its popular appeal? From a woman’s prospective, Lauri Boeder writes on About.Com that “Casablanca is a great romance, a stirring wartime adventure, a suspenseful action movie, and in the end, a terrific buddy movie.” She further states that “Casablanca is thrilling on the first viewing, and so richly textured it rewards being watched over and over. The dialogue is clever, touching, and dryly funny by turns and utterly irresistible. See it once and then see it again.” is what she recommends. But what does Roger Ebert say about Casablanca?
There is a certain warmth and intimacy about this poem about a house in Regent’s Park that the Skrzynecki family lived in despite being surrounded by factories. After years of wandering the world as displaced refugees, the chance to set down roots would have been irresistible so the poem conveys a sense of ownership and pride in the security it provides as the two references to “keys” and “well oiled lock” make obvious.

It’s easy to understand why the current generations are more radical and change seeking than Americans in the ‘50s when being like your neighbour was the best thing you could be. That was the era of “suburban correctness”, as Frank called it (Frank, Pg
In the novel, the author, Tim Wise states that the “truth is, we love living in the past,” he goes on to say that this feeling is only displayed when there are feelings of veneration and uplifting stances of our country’s history. He states that people love living in the glorious years or the filling of a falsified sense of the past. The author believes that people want to forget the ugly parts of the past and just sign them off moments that need to be forgotten. In other words, the past is the past, and we shouldn’t dwell on it.
