Casablanca



Class notes 3/28 (recorded by Rachel Thompson):

Anthem: Singers get emotional while singing. (Woman cries) Scene exemplifies the idea that good will override evil one day. The good guy will win someday. Only scene where Ilsa’s right side profile is shown instead of her left side. At one point they are singing both the French and the German Anthem. Laslo is “the stick in the mud.” We never see anything in the movie that makes him great. Ilsa Lund: Doesn’t seem too important She may be scared that they will get into trouble. She feels like she has seen all of this before. Discussed exactly how much love one person can have. How many friends can one person have. During the Anthem scene, Ilsa looks as if she is contemplating about something while Ivanne is in tears singing the Anthem. Themes: Love Good Vs Evil Rebellion
