Rick Blanie In Rick's Cafe Villian
From the moment you enter into Rick's Café Américain, the customers always seem to ask about the owner, Rick Blaine. Rick Blanie has very strong visual and verbal elements that relate to his character. He isolates himself by choice by choosing not to have a drink with customers. When we first meet Rick Blaine, we see he’s a serious and authoritative man, his expression dour as he drinks and plays chess alone. He’s the boss; nothing goes without Rick’s “ok”. As an authority figure, Rick doesn’t fear any other authority like Major Heinrich Strasser, the Nazi SS Officer who comes to Rick's Café Américain to catch a fugitive and at the same time question Rick about his past. He’s presented and reads a dossier composed by the Nazis, to which

    With hair as red as the surface of the boiling hot sun, Erin walks into a giant concrete building. She is wearing her favorite outfit; black converse sneakers, black skinny jeans, and a black oversized t-shirt. But she is not emo, she just likes her outfit. Once she enters the school, she stumbles and almost trips while she is cutting through the crowd of mean teenaged kids. As she passes each teen, she listens while their mouths whisper “Oh my God! She must be emo” and “She obliviously cuts herself.” People are not always who they seem. Erin had a stereotype planted on her like Walter White did in the ‘Pilot’ and ‘Crazy Handful’ in Breaking Bad by Vince Gilligan. While some may argue that Walter never had a stereotype placed on him, I will…

    The Pearl Harbor bombing was such a huge part of our role in World War II, and since Rick represents America, I knew he would have his own Pearl Harbor. Sure enough, Ilsa came back into Rick’s life and was his very own “Pearl Harbor”. It was very easy to pick up on this symbolism because Rick saw her and his attitude completely changed. This was another one of the best representations in the movie. It worked so well because it was so similar to what happened to our country and how we handled the situation afterward. Rick sat down with Ilsa and Victor to have a drink which he had never done before. To me this was a sign that Rick was suddenly changing his ways. This single event changed everything, just like the bombing of Pearl Harbor. This help the audience understand the situation a little…

While he acts with great loyalty to George, he has no comprehension of the idea of "loyalty." For that reason, he often does not mean to do the things that get him into trouble, and once he does get into trouble, he has no conscience to define his actions in terms of guilt.…
