During the Second World War in 1941, the Lique nightclub in the northern Moroccan city of Casablanca seemed to be feasting. The owner, Li Ke, is busy looking around, operating his bar. Suddenly, Czech anti-Nazi leader Victor Laszlo and his wife Ilsa came to Li Ke’s nightclub, hoping to use Li Ke as a springboard to escape the clutches of fascism. Generally speaking, lovers are useful. At least it is available. The lover's ability to keep watch is all because of love. The core of the meaning of a lover lies in love. And nothing else. Even in the midst of war, if you want to get a pass, you have to use your emotions. Use other means for fear of not working. In "Casablanca", ruthlessness does not work, and money does not seem to work. Under the iron hooves of the Nazis, to escape from Europe to the United States, one had to detour through the northern Moroccan city of Casablanca. This makes the situation in this city extremely tense. Ilsa wanders between her husband and lover, and Rick, who is still in love with her, decides to escort Ilsa and her husband away from Sablanca. At the moment the plane left, Lee Ke shot and killed the German major who called to prevent the plane from taking off. He watched with emotion and the beloved woman left. At this time, Ingrid Bergman's eyes were not able to, no more tragic. We also don't think that Li Ke absolutely cannot fly away with his lover at this time. Don't believe it, Li Ke doesn't feel any pain at this time. If it's not painful, who is it for? In the film, Ilsa and her husband tried their best to buy the transit permit in Li Ke's hands at a high price, but Li Ke coldly refused. There is no other way, Ilsa goes to Rick alone. At this point in the plot, the audience does not need to look deeply to understand the hatred of this pair of mandarin ducks. After fiercely intertwined, Li Ke finally decided what. Once, Ilsa even married him in order to admire Laszlo. She thought that admiration was love. Then her husband Laszlo entered the concentration camp, and it was rumored that he was killed while escaping. In grief, Ilsa meets Li Ke, just when Ilsa is about to go with Li Ke away, but knows that Laszlo is still alive in the world. So, Ilsa left Rick without saying goodbye. Today and now, Ilsa and Rick meet again. I don’t know if it seems that the heroine has to decide whether to love or not to love.
