People fall in love all the time and it always starts with a look. In my opinion this will never go away. The impacts of love at first sight depends on how far it goes. Is it just a passing glance between two people that leads to nothing? Is it the start of a romantic interlude? In the movie Casablanca Rick and Ilsa fall in love with each other; however, Ilsa was still in love with someone else and she had no closure. Rational people get to know each other first, this is part of the excitement of building a relationship with someone. The majority of marriages end in divorce, this movie feeds into that statistic, had Rick and Ilsa gotten married it more than likely would have ended in divorce based of a lack of knowing their partner.
Save Wounded Knee Ancestor of the Lakota tribe, Chief Joseph Brings Plenty, in his essay, Save Wounded Knee (april 11, 2013), argues that the massacre site should be saved as a sacred site instead of being sold at an auction. He explains his claim by first depicting the history of the battle at Wounded Knee, then retells stories from his childhood, and finally describes the struggles his tribe goes through to keep their land. Plenty’s purpose is to emphasize the unknown struggle of the Lakota tribe in order to shed truth on the past and potentially help save his land. He constructs an informational and truthful tone for people interested in Native American history and preservation.
In Michael Curtiz’s film, “Casablanca”, the character Richard Blaine has an internal conflict that reflects the feelings of the refugees in Cuba. He also exhibits the power of love.

He seems detached from his surroundings even though he is worshipped by the customers. Rick likes to remain alone and mysteries and will not have drinks with any companions. His actions and character may stem from emotional distress from his past. Richard seems as though if he is waiting for someone or something to return to him in Casablanca.
In the movie Casablanca, directed by Michael Curtiz, two different kinds of love are exposed. The love relationship between Ilsa Lund and Rick is a more passionate relationship while the one between Ilsa and Victor Laszlo is more intimate. Love is composed of different feelings and because of that it can be expressed, as seen in Casablanca, in different ways. “The Intimate Relationship Mind”, a text by Garth J. O. Fletcher and Megan Stenswick, helps support that claim providing a scientific background on how love is shaped by those different feelings. It says that “love is composed of three distinct and basic components that each represent evolved adaptations; namely, intimacy, commitment,
David Maybury-Lewis gives us viewers some insight on romantic love, being in love and just plain old love. He says that being in love is a need for possession because we feel incomplete and this is usually why we marry. The problem we have is that feeling fades. He also says that romantic love threatens the family. Societies need people who will live for their children, not those who will die for love.

Shakespeare includes the idea of love at first sight in Romeo and Juliet, but does he believe in this theory? According to Shakespeare he does believe that love at first sight exists because he stretches the way Romeo describes Juliet.
In Casablanca, the prominent themes of unhappy love and self-sacrifice set this romantic melodrama apart from most in its genre. These themes are best expressed in the interactions of the three main characters: Victor Laszlo, a heroic political leader; Ilsa Lund, an enigmatic femme fatale; and Richard (Rick) Blaine, a seemingly morally ambiguous night club owner. An unusual love triangle forms with the two men’s mutual love for the intermediary woman. Unlike the archetypal romantic triangle which includes the betrayed husband and the victorious lover, this situation results in unhappiness and loss for all involved. All three are willing to sacrifice for this love,
What makes for a classic Hollywood film? Increasingly, films have evolved to the point where the standard by which one calls a “classic Hollywood film” has evolved over time. What one calls a classic film by yesterday’s standards is not the same as that of today’s standards. The film Casablanca is no exception to this. Although David Bordwell’s article, “Classical Hollywood Cinema” defines what the classical Hollywood film does, the film Casablanca does not exactly conform to the very definition that Bordwell provides the audience with in his article. It is true that the film capers closely to Bordwell’s definition, but in more ways than not, the film diverges from Bordwell’s definition of the typical Hollywood film.

The movie When A Man Loves A Woman depicts the journey of Alice, a mom, wife, and alcoholic as she comes to term with her disease, and seeks treatment. At the beginning of the movie, it is not easy to tell that Alice does in fact struggle with alcohol addiction. She is a lively and energetic lady that has a large sense of humor that seems to be equally shared with her husband, Michael. As the movie progresses, it shows the fear and worry that her oldest daughter, Jess, has about her mother and her disease. Morning after morning, Alice wakes up and fights a hangover, only to come home and find any reason to drink again.
To answer this question, a few assumptions must be done away with. Primarily the idea that love equals marriage. Or as Goldman had put it, “The popular notion about marriage and love is that they are synonymous… rests not on actual facts, but on superstition.” (Goldman 304). Marriage and love have little to nothing in common if, at all, marriage is simply a byproduct of love, an unnecessary one that at that. But if love does not equal marriage, can marriage equal love? Love can spring from a marriage where nothing before had grown, although it is quite rare, however, to say that it cannot happen would be a lie. However, it is also best to keep in mind that most marriages that have people committing without a spark or connection beforehand are usually arranged or even forced marriages.
