Casablanca

The emotional landscape of Casablanca is dominated by **Love**, reflecting the central, complex romance between Rick and Ilsa. **Sadness** and **Melancholy** are deeply woven into the narrative, capturing the bittersweet nature of their reunion and the ultimate sacrifice made. **Empathy** is strongly evoked by the difficult moral dilemmas faced by the characters, while **Hope** and **Inspiration** emerge from the fight against fascism and Rick's selfless act. **Nostalgia** for a lost past, particularly their time in Paris, is a poignant recurring theme.
