I have seen the beginning and the end, and I have seen many clips, but after watching it in its entirety, it is still agitated from the inside out, because of the harmony of its narrative, regret is complete, politics is love, and the fate of various countries is like the wind and clouds, but they are left on the edge of Europe. A Broken Heart of One Place, Casablanca has created an enclave that is geographically at the same time, but also time, both history and film history, time reunites time in song (Paris), or conquers time (Marseille vs Ballad), or even Production time (song of the same name), I'm so sad that I missed this movie when I was young, and also missed some missed loves. It also corresponds to "Beauty's Plan" 4 years later.

Second brush. It is exactly a model of Hollywood's golden age dramas. The atmosphere, emotion and rhythm can not be more right. The closed scheduling of the coffee shop, every line has become a classic, the perfect combination of Bogart + Bergman, so great!

Captain Renault: I've often speculated why you don't return to America. Did you abscond with the church funds? Run off with a senator's wife? I like to think you killed a man. It's the Romantic in me.
Rick: It was a combination of all three.
