The major difference i noticed while watching Monsoon Wedding in comparison to Casablanca was the language. Obviously there were subtitles but what i noticed is that sometimes they were not needed. Sometimes the subtitles were up while the characters were speaking english. Also, sometimes the character would start off a sentence speaking in indian and end it in English. I feel as if this was slightly sloppy, and i cannot say the same of Casablanca. Casablanca was very clean and precise. The actors costumes were clean, pressed and perfect, their hair was perfectly in place. The set was pristine and obvious that there was thought into it. Another thing i noticed about Monsoon wedding that was not the case for Casablanca were the camera angles. In Monsoon wedding, sometimes the camera views were awkward and cut off faces or parts of bodies or were off center
