I urge you to travel

“I urge you to travel

As far and as much as possible.

Work ridiculous shifts to save your money.

Go without the latest iPhone.

Throw yourself out of your comfort zone.

Find out how other people live & realise that the world is a much bigger place than the town you live in.

And when you come home, home may still be the same, & yes, you may go back to the same old job, but something in your mind will have changed.

And trust me, that changes everything.”

Casablanca

Who hasn’t seen awesome movie? I don’t know anybody that hasn’t seen the movie and just love it.

So I will put some of my favorite parts here:

What do you want for Sam?

On Casablanca there are 2 big bars: Rick’s and The Blue Parrot. Ferrari owns The Blue Parrot and Rick, well Rick owns Rick’s.Ferrari despise Rick and want to get his bar and when he can’t he tries to gets his main entertainer: Sam, but he doesn’t count that Sam is completely loyal to Rick and he won’t change even for 2 times the pay…sadly on the video Sam reply is not shown.

Play it again Sam

Sam and Ilsa see each other again and she convinces him to play the only song that Rick doesn’t allow to be played, which makes Rick very angry.

Here we see also some new stuff

Here is the first time

  1. Laszlo and Rick kind of hate each other, they just say “how do you do” to each other.
  2. They are well aware of each other reputation.
  3. Rick drinks with clients…never seen before, expressed by Renault.
  4. “We all try, you succeed”. Rick to Laszlo.
  5. “The nazis wore gray, you wore blue”.Rick tells to Ilsa.
  6. Rick pays the bill, another precedent gone, expressed again by Renault.

La Marseillaise

  1. Laszlo tries to buy Rick but is unable…he has to ask his wife.
  2. Germans starts singing while everybody is seemly sad about the situation, even the band is not playing.
  3. Until Laszlo demands the band to play La Marseillaise, the band doesn’t do anything until Rick “command” them to do it.Laszlo seems to be the hero…but is actually Rick who makes it possible.
  4. Renault is obliged to close the place and gives the excuse of illegal gambling…then he receives his winning from the bets.

Gin joints

Rick is visible drunk, overthinking about Ilsa.Sam tries to cheer him but is unable, after a brief discussion Sam refuses to leave Rick on is current state, then Rick says the famous phrase :” Of all the gin joins, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine” , followed by “You know what I want to hear…you play it for her , you play it for me…if she can stand it I can…play it!

Here’s looking at you

 

Probably the clip with the most famous quotes:

  1. “Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor, you ‘re of his world, the part  that keeps him going.If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not with him, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today.Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”
  2. “We will always have Paris.”
    1. “We didn’t have, we, we lost it until you came to Casablanca.We got it back last night.”
  3. “…I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world.Someday you will understand that.”

The last famous line is when Rick says to Renault “Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”

I tried to not spoil a lot of the story with the quotes in case you haven’t seen the movie

Karma is a …

We all know that karma is a bi@$$%#.

I had what I wanted 3 times in a row when I kind of shouldn’t have it, so after that I stopped once to keep my “odds” but it seems it wasn’t enough to keep me out of the loop.Hopefully now I will get a clean slate.

Nobody escapes karma, nobody.
