Ilsa was an idiot. Just sayin'

(and not because Rick was 'more romantic' or any rot like that. I just think she would have had a much more interesting life with him. Victor was an Idealist. Political idealists rarely have that much fun. Plus, I bet the sex was better.)

I don't think I said anywhere that she sacrifices herself for her man, but that her world revolves around her heart -- and whoever holds it at that moment. It's a rather different thing....

Ah. I misunderstood. This movie is why I love La Marseillaise despite it being a bloodthirsty nationalist hymn. The scene in Rick's place where even the woman fraternizing with the Germans sings it send shivers up and down my spine.
