It's better to miss the so-called meeting.
The film was shot in 1942, and the story told took place during the Second World War. The good thing about old movies is that they are telling a story seriously. The beginning, the passage, the climax and the end are not bad. There hasn't been a lot of lens language to make people groggy. This is one of the things I like about old movies. What we are watching is a complete and clear story, with concise lines and strong narrative, and all the pictures serve the narrative. If such a movie touches the audience, then the audience must have the same feeling for the story told by the director. All creations are aimed at fulfilling the unfinished daydreams of the creator. This is the charm of the work. It can achieve all things that cannot be achieved in reality, whether it is a small person who is a hero or a hero who wants to return to a small person. These Things only need to be written smoothly with the tip of the pen. This movie is the same.
Looking at the plot of "Casablanca" now, it is too simple and too single. It even set up a suspense that made all the audience curious. This suspense is so easy to guess more than half of it now. Of course, some people would say that the movie at that time should be watched at that time, and the plot was really novel at the time, and so on. However, I never believe that this kind of rhetoric can be a good excuse for a movie to become a classic or a general work. Because in the baptism of nearly 70 years, the soul of the movie "Casablanca" has always been higher, and it still easily captured most people's touching feelings.
Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco. During World War II, Casablanca was controlled by the pro-German (Vichy France) regime. At this time, some people in Europe want to go to the free American continent through Lisbon. The rich and powerful, or according to the movie, those who can run into good luck, can go to the American continent through Lisbon after obtaining the exit permit in Casablanca. . However, most people can only stay in this place in Casablanca. Thus, the story happened. The protagonist Rick (Humphrey Bogart) is cynical and runs a nightclub. This nightclub is a must-visit place for people who come to Casablanca. It is like a tourist attraction. It has a long-term network of German Nazis, Italians and officials. Political issues are discussed in bars for heroes. In "Inglourious Basterds", the military officers and spies discussing anti-Hitler plans were also carried out in the tavern, while underground secret gatherings were only gathering places for small people, such as the Jews in "The Great Dictator." Heroes are usually paired with fine wine. Therefore, Rick must be a big man. The piano player played "time goes by", this piece of music that is banned in Rick's life world, it also means that Rick's past is forbidden. The heroine Ilsa, the wife of the anti-Nazi party Victor, appeared. This setting made us too easy to guess. Rick's past is inseparable from such a woman. She must be beautiful, gentle and elegant, so that every man likes and is emotional. Rick holds two exit permits in his hand, and these two exit permits have also become the main clues and reliance on all stories. These two exit permits are very important to the Victors. Rick began to recall, recounting his and Ilsa's past, misunderstanding. Of course, the love story in the story is moving, beautiful, and the ending is sad. This is the characteristic of all this kind of movie reminiscence stories. You can smile slightly and talk the same old things. The story returns to the main line. The anger of the male lead and the passionate helplessness of the female lead reveal the secrets of the past. Therefore, the creation of a hero is also at the end of the story. Singing patriotic tunes in the tone of telling love stories, in a triangle relationship, only two people can obtain salvation, and power and choice are in the hands of the third party. Victor and Rick are both heroes, but Victor is a leader, and Ilsa is an outlet in their emotional life. With the script written here, the screenwriter has to start creating the ending.
Is it to sacrifice love or sacrifice for love?
Most romance films use love itself as a keynote, its tenderness, romance or cruelty, to capture the hearts of all audiences. Whether in the East or the West, the family is an integral part of society, but love is indispensable for the formation of an ideal family. Heroes give up their most precious things to fulfill what others think is the most important. If there is only one pass, it is really easy to handle, for love, for Ilsa; for yourself, for yourself. Both of these options can be accepted by the public. However, the difficulty is that you watch your beloved and other people go, and you have to be willing. This is an emotional conflict, which of course brings about the sublimation of spiritual consciousness, so the audience drew out the tissues and crashed. It is better for people who read the story to be more emotional, to experience and feel the emotional production and the beauty of the lines in the story. However, screenwriters, writers and others have to make up a story with rational thinking. If only the enthusiasm and inspiration after drinking, what comes out is an abstract painting is definitely not a good story. So the structure of the story has to become the beginning, passing, climax, turning, ending, unexpected and reasonable. Such a story can attract more viewers. So movies like "Casablanca" finally come to an end. Rick finally looked into Ilsa's eyes and said more decisive and cruel words: We will always have Paris. He finally buried their emotions in the past. Once they met and loved Paris where they were separated, this Paris contained all the beginnings and inheritance of their feelings and their endings. It's better to miss the so-called meeting. What remained in the nostalgia was the part that he most wanted to remember and keep, so this movie became a movie of Rick again, for his shaping, sublimation and ending. Perhaps in this case, most people can't do this kind of free and easy, but the difficult choices in reality can be easily realized in the movie, so the screenwriter is also satisfied.
Therefore, the greatness of this movie can only be judged by someone who can perceive its meaning. Different people have different opinions, this is the most interesting part of all things in the world. Because of the difference in individual cognition and value, a dead thing can live more colorfully. Some people are compelled to miss it, while others choose to miss it only. No matter what, the space or time range in which the sentimental rendering and remaining sensual smell can spread or spread is quite amazing. So, you are infected by this emotion and feel good. If you don't, just as far as the story goes, this "Casablanca" is really not a work of God.
In fact, there is another highlight of the film, which is
The scene of Louis and Rick is really the finishing touch. Rick has become the embodiment of the patriotic spirit. Heroes don't need love, and the noisiness of children's love is always out of the eyes of heroes. Our friendship has just begun, and we still have a bigger cause to do. So Rick and Louis slowly walked into the unknown night.
