Casablanca is one of those classic movies everybody loves. It is essentially about a love triangle. Rick was living a perhaps discontented but relatively peaceful life running a bar in Casablanca. That tranquility was shattered when Ilsa, a women he hoped to never see again, walked in his bar along with her husband Viktor. They need a way to get away from the Nazis and Rick has the means to make that happen. Torn between conflicting emotions he must make a decision. In the end, he makes a decision that reveals his true nature. It is no happy ending. But that’s fine since it’s how things go in real life anyway.
Rating: 5/5
