Casablanca (1942) was directed by Michael Curtiz and starred Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine, Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund, and Paul Henreid as Victor Laszlo. The film analyzes Rick Blaine's character through six key scenes, discussing how he retains control and represents masculinity through his interactions, positioning in frames, and dialogue. It also discusses representations of Ilsa Lund in images and the director Michael Curtiz's comments on her strength, honesty, and role as the "nexus of power" and fuel driving the narrative forward in the film's masculine universe.

Detailed analysis of RickAnalyse in detail, the 6 key scenes.What representation of masculinity is presented?Consider: the director’s use of mise en sceneinteraction with other characterswhere Rick is positioned in the ‘frame’use of lightingdialogueIn conclusion:What makes him such an interesting character? How Rick manages to retain control of each scene?     
Discuss the following images of Ilsa. How is she represented?
Ilsa’s roleWhen asked in an interview about Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the director, MichealCurtiz said:“She is the nexus of power in the film. It is only with respect to her that Rick shows any vulnerability and humanity. There is a strength in her not to be underestimated. She doesn't just follow along. She comes to meet Rick at night, she does things, she transgresses some borders, and she shows her feelings. She might be the most honest of the film's characters. She is the fuel that drives the narrative forward, and she is worth it. I think the female aspect of the film is very strong, although she is almost the only woman in the film. Otherwise, the film portrays a very masculine universe.”Do his comments make you reconsider your reading of Ilsa? Give reasons.
