review, it's a bit of memory. Memory is like a haha mirror, twisting and deforming as time goes by. We give plots to the complex fragments of life to make them appear more logical or more abrupt and sharp. We rewrite our own history with repeated memories. Compared with the confused future, the past seems more plastic. We can recall a fictitious kiss, a trace of ambiguity that never existed, and, like the first memory, we feel the trembling hairs touching the skin, the temples are buzzing and swelling nervously, and the silky smell follows the restlessness. Blood soaked into each fingertip. Memories are as frivolous as clouds, fine sand rolling like ebb and flow, reflecting the hot sun, and the stratum corneum on the skin crackles.
Since when "Casablanca" became a part of my memory, it doesn't matter anymore. Like the three teenagers in "Dream of Paris", living in a world where movies and reality are mixed, familiar lines or scenes suddenly broke into my ongoing life, opening a gap to stop time, just like thin cotton gloves quietly falling On the side of the old-style leather shoes, fine dust floated in the air, and I was not in a hurry to fall down, so I did not rush to pick it up. Sometimes I waited for Brando to pick it up and put it on my hand like in "Dock Storm"; sometimes I looked away and squinted to learn Eastwood's cigarette butt in the corner of my mouth. Like Bruce Lee-like sweep with the thumb pulp nose, fantasy day light to lift a girl's face, with "Casablanca" Li Baojia tone, tilting his head and said: ". Here's looking at you , kid"
section Once I watched "Casablanca", I watched a VCD, and I watched it at home. On the way, I went to my grandma's house for lunch. At that time, I was a "radical nationalist", and I cried with excitement when I saw the crowd singing "Marseillaise" in the bar. At that time, the love in my mind was the unrealistic waiting for "the front edge of 16 years later" in "The Legend of Condor Heroes". I couldn't understand why Ilsa suddenly abandoned Rick and left the platform in Paris. On the weeping letter paper, the man in the trench coat in the rain. "I remember every detail. Germans wear gray clothes, and you wear blue."-After she left, Rick's Paris was gray.
We can calculate how long Ilsa left Rick: the German army entered Paris on June 14, 1940. From this day of La Belle Aurore (beautiful twilight), until the night in Casablanca.
— “It’s December 1941 in Casablanca. When is this in the United States, Sam?”
— “I, my watch stopped.”
— “Bet all New Yorkers are asleep, I bet everything The Americans are all asleep. There are so many bars in so many cities and towns in the world, so he entered my house." The
whole United States has fallen asleep , and it must have been before the Pearl Harbor incident on December 7, 1941. Ilsa stayed in Casablanca for two days and three nights. Assuming that she walked into the Rick Hotel on December 4, the two were separated for a total of 538 days. How did Rick spend these 538 days. Is it to smoke in front of the window to block the moonlight, or to wait for the searchlight to scan the wine glass to reflect the sad and distorted face?
——"Don’t bother him, Miss Ilsa. You bring him bad luck."
——"Play once, Sam. It depends on the
love of the past." ——"I don’t know what you are talking about. , Miss."
— "Play it, Sam. Play "Time Lapse"."
— "Oh, I don't remember. Miss, I'm a little rusty."
— "I'll hum for you."
Starting from the 33 minutes of the film, the melody of "Time Flies" appears in the film again and again. "You'll always remember this, a kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh ...." Ilsa's eyes slowly lowered, as if recalling the story. At this moment Rick pushed the door in and looked surprised when he heard the song. Of course, we would not be surprised to hear this music. It later became the opening music for all Universal Pictures movies. Later, Woody Allen made a comedy "Play it again, Sam" "Play it, Sam, play it. If she If I can bear it, so can I."
Of course Rick can bear it. He did not say "I love you" to Ilsa once in this movie, and Russlu said "I love you very much" twice. Because Rick didn't need to say. Larslu wanted to say that he felt that something was going away from him, or was not on his side. He wanted to keep Ilsa with these words. "Besides, there are not many opportunities for a man to be a hero in front of his wife." How about Rick? He said to Ilsa "Never forget" four times, twice in Paris and twice in Casablanca.
— “I don’t have the strength to struggle anymore. I have left you once, and I never have the courage to do it a second time. You must think about us, for all of us.”
— “Well, I will. That’s it. Well, never forget."
— "I wish I never loved you so much."
I have been able to memorize a large number of lines in this movie, but every time I watch it, I can still get densely moved. Point, be beaten by it. In fact, I am not qualified to write any comments, because there is nothing to comment on. When this movie enters life, everything seems to be natural. Why did Rick’s windbreaker dry immediately in the rain? Why did the pass go straight without checking? Let the plane take off, what is the point of these questions.
In December 1941, Manstein’s tanks entered the Soviet Union, the desert fox was still in North Africa, the eagles fought fiercely over London, the Japanese swallowed Southeast Asia, and they were coveting the United States. "In this crazy world, the affairs of the three little people are nothing." And I would rather believe that on this dim earth, in Casablanca, Morocco, something "too nothing" is happening in a tavern, and an airplane is going to set off in the dark that night.
——"But what do we do?"
——"We will always have Paris. We lost it once before you came to Casablanca, but we found it again last night."
——" But last night I said I would never Will leave you."
——"You will never. I also have work to do. You can't follow where I'm going, and you can't participate in what I'm going to do. Ilsa, I'm not good at it. But understand: in this crazy world, the things of the three little people are nothing. One day you will know.
Hi.
Never forget (here's looking at you, kid.)"
Never forget. Just remember it often. Fortunately, this memory of mine is engraved on the disc, unlike other memories. As time goes by, it will never change. I can imagine that maybe while Ilsa’s plane was cruising over the Atlantic Ocean, Yamamoto’s battleship was heading towards Pearl Harbor, and the United States would wake up from a deep sleep; Rick might return to the United States later, in an unknown situation. Where did I meet Ilsa again. Maybe. After all, "we'll always have Paris", after all, there have been their shadows in the later history of the United States: 30 years later, "play it again, sam" was released, and the fresh hippie dress attracted two generations. . In the same 70s, an American named Bertie Higgins wrote the song "casablanca" and sang it on several continents. The lyrics read: "When I fell in love with you, I watched "Casablanca"/We were sitting behind in the car theater/Coca-Cola and popcorn competed with champagne and caviar/We fell in love on a long summer night/I miss you When I fell in love with me, I also watched "Casablanca"/holding hands in a trance, such as at the Rick Hotel." In 1989, this turbulent year, Harry and Sally said, "Who should Ilsa talk to in "Casablanca" "Go" argued endlessly, and then became an American sweetheart with naughty curvy lips. This year, in the other half of the earth, Jinan, the spring city, I was born.
These are some things about my "Casablanca", but never all. On Swann's side, it can be an independent chapter, but the reminiscence of the watery years has just begun.
