Plot of film Casablanca(1942)
Casablanca was a big casting film distributed by Warner Bros. from Classical Hollywood cinema period, which is called “Golden Hollywood”. This is a classic romantic film base on the background of WWII, Casablanca in Morocco. (At that time, Morocco is held by France)
This film was classic with unique story line. As at the beginning, the main character, Rick Blaine was described as a cold-blooded person. He was a bar owner who only concern about money. However, it was just for his appearance. This film made use of another main character, Ilsa Lund (Rick's ex-girl friend) to take out the past and real personality of Rick. My most favorite style in this film is making use of a orginial song to link the whole film together. The song was called “As Time Goes By”, which really made a great impression for me. This is really a great technique to link up several scenarios. Also, the film's story was on the stretch as the background was based on WWII. Another attractive point was that the standpoint of different characters were unclear until the end of the movie.

| Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine |
It's a pity that I cannot understand Major Heinrich Strasser's standpoint at the end of the movie. But still, this film was worth watching for such a big casting like Humphrey Bogart,Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid. Moreover, this film was also released during WWII in US, which actually show that political statement at that time and represent the Realism film.
