Casablanca is considered one of the best movies ever. In order to be the best movie ever it must have a superb ending. Here is how I think Casablanca will end based on it classification as a great movie. Great movie tend to end in a matter unlike the obvious outcome, like in 12 Angry Men where the obvious outcome would be finding the plantify guilty, and in heartbreak, such as Gone With the Wind when Rhett leaves Scarlett. I do not think the movie will with Rick’s plan working perfectly: Ilsa and him escaping to America and living happily ever after. That ending would be too obvious and not inspiring for the viewer. I do not believe that Rick and Ilsa will end up together at all. The main evidence I have for this is that one of the most famous

  • Casablanca's Depiction of War

    1137 Words  | 3 Pages

    Casablanca was directed in an era almost entirely dedicated to propaganda, as far as the film industry is concerned. The movie promoted America and the Allies similar to most films of the time, but it did so in a much different manner. The story told in Casablanca follows the main character, Rick, through his personal affairs and love tango with another lead character, Ilsa Lund. The film begins with Rick alone running his saloon based in Casablanca, in which he seems very indifferent to other people’s affairs, and comes off as very exclusive. He is delivered letters of transit by a man named Ugarte, which are nearly priceless to any refugee desiring to flee to the United States or another unoccupied country. Rick continues to act disinterested, reluctantly agreeing to hide the documents. He holds onto them even after Ugarte is killed for having stolen the letters, although there did not seem to be an...

    907 Words  | 2 Pages

    The 1942 movie, “Casablanca” portrays a World War II era enclave where refugees fled Nazi Europe and used this unoccupied city as a safe haven while pursuing their dreams of coming to America. The main character is Rick Blaine, played by Humphrey Bogart, who owns a nightclub and casino in unoccupied Morocco during the Nazi era. Blaine, whose sole purpose appears to be money, illuminates a sense of arrogance and self righteousness as he assists in retrieving the necessary immigration documents for those who are willing to pay the price for their freedom. Hidden deep within his memory are the reflections of a women that he once loved, Ilsa Lund, played by Ingrid Bergman. The third leading role was that of Paul Henreid who played the Ilsa’s husband in the movie. Victor Laszlo, a Jewish activist who was on the run from the German Regime was once believed to be dead after being captured and placed in a concentration camp, during which time his wife (Ilsa) fled to Paris and ultimately had an affair with Rick Blaine.

    Also, there is a scene in the movie where Germans are at Rick’s bar singing a German song. Then Victor causes the bar band to begin playing a patriotic French song, which quickly over takes the sound of the German soldiers’ voices. I believe this scene in the movie portrays Casablanca as a pro-war movie. It shows that although it may take time, the ally forces overcome the Germans. 2.      Do you think Ilsa really loves Victor?

  • Isolationism In Casablanca

    1492 Words  | 3 Pages

    Casablanca’s obvious support of interventionism, as I have already explained in this paper, is what led me to this conclusion. The main example that supports this argument is Rick’s sudden change of heart, and his willingness to sacrifice his own safety and neutrality in order for Laszlo and Isla to escape so that Laszlo can continue his important work with the resistance. This theme is seen in other places in the film that I have not yet mentioned and that do not necessarily have anything to do with the themes of isolationism or interventionism in the film. For example, Annina and Jan Brandel are a newlywed Bulgarian couple who are desperately trying to get letters of transit to America. They do not have enough money, however, and while Jan tries to gamble for winnings at the roulette table, Annina has been approached by Renault, who will give her and her husband exits visas in exchange for sexual favors from Annina. While she is reluctant to do so, she feels that she would rather put her own feelings aside and get her and her husband to safety in America, and goes to Rick to make sure that if she does this, Renault will keep his word. This shows Annina’s willingness to per aside her own safety for what she believes

    No matter how somber or lighthearted the content of a film or novel, most of them end up in the best possible scenario considering the prior circumstances of the characters. While this type of ending can be very enjoyable to read or watch, it can appear to be unfitting, unrealistic, and incredibly predictable. In the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini writes about two young middle eastern women living their lives in a society amongst oppression. The novel filled with times of heartbreak, anger, and fear, concludes in a pleasantly-unpleasant manner. Despite the popularity of this type of storyline, some directors and authors choose to pursue the most realistic storyline, no matter how unpleasant. The director of the film Osama resembles
