What do you think the film, Casablanca, says about Americas involvement (or lack of involvement) in World War II? Remember, the film was made prior to December 7, 1941 the day that the U.S. officially entered the war. Do a little online research into Americas early reluctance to enter the war in 1939-41. Which Casablanca character represents the U.S. and what iconic line of dialogue indicates the U.S. position on the war in 1939, 40 & 41? More specifically, write about what you think the theme of the film is. This needs to be more than just a word (like Love, Patriotism or Sacrifice). It needs to be a fully articulated idea. For example, “Sometimes we must sacrifice our personal wants for the greater needs of society.”
