Great breakup

"Casablanca" has been watched a long time ago, and the last part where Rick sent Ilsa away is still shining in retrospect. But the background of the war has been neglected. What I remember is the look in the eyes of Frehenley-Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, one warm and calm, one gentle and free, which also makes this film known as anti-war. It's more like a purely romantic movie.

"And we had that beautiful time in Paris. We lost it there, but found it back in Casablanca." This is the most impressive line in the film. There were tears in Ilsa’s eyes, and she was reluctant to leave... But in Rick’s tone and gesture, we saw a kind of selfless passion and determination. In fact, everyone knew how painful his heart was. But "completion" and "memories" are his most beautiful and most melancholic interpretations

of love ... Then what is true love? People who have watched a Hong Kong comedy called "Zhong Wuyan" a few years ago , I believe that, like me, I have been amused by the line inside---the vixen said: "Love is unconditional sacrifice for the sweetheart. Sacrifice, and only want her to be happy!" And Zhong Wuyan, who has been deceived Retorted: "Wrong! Love is occupying, destroying, and destroying. In order to get the other party by any means, he will not hesitate to make the other party sad, if necessary, shoot twice, and the jade will be burned!" In fact, this sentence is very nonsensical, and it is also very funny. On the contrary, it is very serious. Because love is sometimes great, but sometimes it is really selfish. Compared with , love in reality is often full of too many personal desires and all kinds of things. Impurities.

Of course, as far as real individuals are concerned, there is no right or wrong of love. It is dogmatic to rashly define an almighty for them. But I believe that love has levels, and it is precisely because of this that we are I will be moved by Rick’s last choice, so loving someone can still selflessly fulfill her and another man. It reminds me of Pushkin’s poem-"I used to be so sincere. Loved so tenderly." You, but the original God bless you, another person will love you like me".

This may not be an ideal love, but it represents the most idealistic feelings of love.

Casablanca quotes

  • Ilsa: Rick, I have to talk to you.

    Rick: [Rick is drunk] Uh-huh. I saved my first drink to have with you. Here.

    [passes her a drink]

    Ilsa: No. No, Rick, not tonight.

    Rick: *Especially* tonight.

    Ilsa: Please...

    [he pours a drink]

    Rick: Why did you have to come to Casablanca? There are other places.

    Ilsa: I wouldn't have come if I'd known that you were here. Believe me Rick, it's true I didn't know...

    Rick: It's funny about your voice, how it hasn't changed. I can still hear it. "Richard, dear, I'll go with you anyplace. We'll get on a train together and never stop - "

    Ilsa: Don't, Rick! I can understand how you feel.

    Rick: [scoffs] You understand how I feel. How long was it we had, honey?

    Ilsa: [on the verge of tears] I didn't count the days.

    Rick: Well, I did. Every one of 'em. Mostly I remember the last one. The wow finish. A guy standing on a station platform in the rain with a comical look in his face because his insides have been kicked out.

    Ilsa: Can I tell you a story, Rick?

    Rick: Has it got a wow finish?

    Ilsa: I don't know the finish yet.

    Rick: Well, go on. Tell it - maybe one will come to you as you go along.

    Ilsa: It's about a girl who had just come to Paris from her home in Oslo. At the house of some friends, she met a man about whom she'd heard her whole life. A very great and courageous man. He opened up for her a whole beautiful world full of knowledge and thoughts and ideals. Everything she knew or ever became was because of him. And she looked up to him and worshiped him... with a feeling she supposed was love.

    Rick: [bitterly] Yes, it's very pretty. I heard a story once - as a matter of fact, I've heard a lot of stories in my time. They went along with the sound of a tinny piano playing in the parlor downstairs. "Mister, I met a man once when I was a kid," it always began.

    [laughs]

    Rick: Well, I guess neither one of our stories is very funny. Tell me, who was it you left me for? Was it Lazlo, or were there others in between or... aren't you the kind that tells?

    [Ilsa tearfully and silently leaves. Rick's face falls in his hands sadly, knowing that he's said all the wrong things]

  • Captain Renault: [to Ilsa] I was informed that you were the most beautiful woman ever to visit Casablanca. That was a *gross* understatement.

    Ilsa: [genuinely pleased] You're very kind.
