Casablanca Casablanca is a shortcut for refugees to escape to a safe country. Many refugees have gathered because they did not have a pass. The man here, the cafe owner Rick, seems to be careless. He is well versed in business and dealing with police and soldiers. He even Being a "Borderless" does not express any of his views on the country, he is a person who is seemingly indifferent. Such a "uncontested" person was changed by the arrival of a woman, and the past came to his mind. This woman became a gathering point of suspense. Why didn't she say goodbye in the first place, but now she suddenly came back and became someone else's. Wife, with the increasingly difficult situation of finding a travel permit and Victor, the misunderstanding between Rick and the woman is slowly resolved. In portraying Rick’s image, he digs into his essence through his attitude towards different people, his attitude towards customers, his disdain for officials, and his choice of sources. He helps the poor girl’s husband and "sends money." To them, allowing others to sing their national anthem in his cafe, this all expresses the soft side of his heart from the side. Rick’s character changes, wrapping his heart broken by love with indifference, until he meets the heroine’s misunderstanding and relieves the two people to fall in love again, he is also influenced by Victor’s bravery, from being a borderless man to a patriot. Even having great love makes the lover walk with his husband. Victor, a hard-hearted gentleman who is not surprised at all, he is courteous and polite to others. He has escaped from death several times, but for the country to oppose the Nazis, he still maintains his integrity under the pressure of the German army, and even blatantly sings in the tavern. In the national anthem, Victor is also a responsible person, for the sake of the beloved woman can delay the time of escape. In the end, the two men twisted into a rope, in order to deceive her and love her in good faith for the woman who loves each other. The image of the policeman is like a harlequin, making people laugh, saying that the pub was closed because of the discovery of gambling in the pub, and he took the money from the gambling as it should be.
