The double success of politics and art

As a form of expression of the superstructure, the link between film and politics is understandable. The success of "Casablanca" lies in the dual success of politics and art. While achieving political goals, it has not forgotten the connotation and requirements of art. Politically, it has played a role in rallying people's hearts and raising morale.
The scene where the crowd chanted "Marseillaise" and the German military officers sang Nazi songs was thrilled: Rick was talking with Victor, and the German major conductor sang fascist songs. Rick acquiesced to Sam to play the Marseillaise. Under Victor’s command, the singing of Marseillaise became higher and higher and eventually overwhelmed the fascist singing. Together, "paint" a picture of unity, justice, and patriotism. Faced with such a situation, I felt excited in front of the screen. At the end of the film, Rick returned to the anti-fascist camp, and the German major returned to the West, implying the inevitable defeat of the Fascist war, which will undoubtedly arouse the resonance of countless anti-fascist fighters and the masses. In terms of art, the film combines the emotional world of small characters with historical events in the big era, and sees the depths of the human heart, reveals the preciousness and greatness of true love, and creates a fairy-tale love story that has become a must-see for generations of movie fans. Classic movie.

But the director's focus on the two is very good, and the lines are also extremely concise, euphemistic and full of charm. Also, from the current point of view, it is definitely a substrate...

Casablanca quotes

  • Woman: What makes saloonkeepers so snobbish?

    Banker: Perhaps if you told him I ran the second largest banking house in Amsterdam.

    Carl: Second largest? That wouldn't impress Rick. The leading banker in Amsterdam is now the pastry chef in our kitchen.

    Banker: We have something to look forward to.

  • Ugarte: Heh, you know, watching you just now with the Deutsche Bank, one would think you've been doing this all your life.

    Rick: Oh, what makes you think I haven't?

    Ugarte: Oh, n-n-n-nothing, but when you first came to Casablanca, I thought...

    Rick: You thought what?

    Ugarte: Hm, what right do I have to think, huh?
