Presentation transcript:

Casablanca and World War II A nation’s identity is paralleled to a selfish, disillusioned man. Will he makes good in the end?

To understand the movie you must understand Rick. And to understand Rick, you must understand the U.S. prior to WWII.

America and World War I Brutal conflict European slaughter America tips the balance and proves the difference to win the war

Isolationism of the 20s & 30s Post-WWI America Tired of saving Europe Rejects League of Nations Turns inward 4 One of Rick’s most famous quotes epitomizes U.S. attitude: “I stick my neck out for nobody.”

The Oxford Pledge Showing how dead against war many were in the US: Nearly 40% of American college students took this pledge in 1933 stating that they would refuse to fight in any war.

Youthful Idealism Rick and America both live selfish lives prior to the war American attitude at the time: “Send guns, not sons” (meaning, more or less, don’t really get involved)

The Story of France June, 1940 - France falls to the Germans in 8 weeks Northern France (Occupied France/German control) “Vichy” Southern France – Free France (Resistance)

Transformation Casablanca is a story of Rick (on the surface) but more so of America (subtext) The movie becomes a defense of American entry into the war Empathize with Rick, empathize with America

Resolution Eventually, America backs Europe once again More importantly, the country turns away from isolationism 4 “This could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship.”
