In addition, there is another reason why Hollywood war films have become classics, and that is the music and theme song of the film. Once the theme song of "Casablanca" "Unforgettable" sounds, it will be exciting, just like Rick and Ilsa's unforgettable love. The film transitions from Sam’s repeated singing and singing to the gurgling flow of songs and music, from the realistic piano performance to the unaccompanied music in memory, as if the two embraced when the airport was separated and vowed that “Paris will always belong to us” is a classic. The picture is completely frozen in the hearts of the audience. Music drives the story and pushes the plot to a climax again and again. When "Unforgettable" is played in the film, it is mostly when Rick and Ilsa meet, a song witnesses a legendary love, Rick's sad eyes and sad words With sentimental love songs, people are all moved. The use of "Marseillaise" in the film is also unique. In Rick’s bar, the Germans sang the song "Guards of the Rhine River" with great interest. Everyone in the bar (except the Germans) dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. At this time, Lars Road appeared to direct others to sing. When the national anthem "Marseille" was played, the people in the bar immediately echoed with passion. Even the prostitutes who mingled with the German officers sang the national anthem in tears, and chanted "Long live France! Long live democracy!" after the song ended. The "Marseillaise" of the time not only constitutes a part of the content plot, but also shows that the characters in the film love peace and freedom. So far, the film has formed a climax of a patriotic picture. The song highlights the atmosphere of the film and renders a strong anti-fascism. Emotions push the plot to a climax.
