In my opinion, this is a movie about the tragic love during the war. Throughout the movie, we could figure out that all the tragedies result from the war. We could guess that Ilsa and Victor must had been in love at the very beginning, otherwise they wouldn’t get married. But they are at war , and as a leader ,Victor had to keep their marriagein secret and risk his life to do some dangerous work. So when the rumor had it that Victor was died ,Ilsa belived it. I’m sure she must be very sad and confused about her future after she heardthat bad news. Then, she encountered Rick. He was such a handsome and romantic man that hewiped her sorrow. As a result, they fell in love with each other soon. But just as if god had played a joke on them, Ilsa got the news that Victor was still alive before they decided to leaveParis together. She suffered a lot and finally she didn’t go along with Rick. On that day, Rick standing on the station platform in the rain waiting for Ilsa’s arrival until the train started. He was deeply hurt because he didn’t know the truth. Then maybe years later, they met again at Casablanca. At that time, Ilsa and Victor needed to escape from Casablanca, and Rick may be the only one who can help them. However, Rick was cynical then. He drank only by himself and doesn’t care about politics. Ilsa tried to asked him for . But Rick was blind with anger and jealous. Fortunately, Ilsa explained the things happened in Paris, and Bick forgave her at last. So he decided to help them out. It was the war that gave Rick and Ilsa change to meet and love each, meanwhile, it was the war that parted them at last. If there was no wars, Ilsa,Rick and Victor may not be at such a messy relationship.And none of them would be hurt. The movie shows us the cruel of the war and how it influenced people’s life. But just as every coin has its two sides. It shows us the evil side of the war, it also shows us the shining sideof the war. For Victor, he was fighting for the anti-Nazi war. His commitment to it is not only forhimself or for his country, but for the world. He was a great leader as well as a good husband. Heloved his wife ,so he forgave her affair and hoped to keep her safe even if he might die. His virtues was admired by Rick . As Rick understand how important Ilsa was to Victor and howimportant Victor was to the anti-Nazi war, he sacrificed his own joy. As far as I’m concerned, Casablanca is a movie with many themes . It tells us a lot and itreally worth watching.
