Most people who have heard of the motion
picture sensation of the 40s, Casablanca,
understand the film to be wartime propaganda and/or a romance. Staring
established actors and created with first-rate writers, the movie is famous for
its memorable lines and stirring theme song among other notable aspects.
This
historical artifact has stood the test of time with its classic theme of patriotism,
love, and sacrifice as the words in the catchy script still maintain potency
today after so many years. The passion of this never-aging movie is beautifully
fashioned into the lyrics of the familiar theme song: “As Time Goes By”. The
passion instilled in the lyrics of the song empowered the viewers in the 40s
and still resonates meaning in viewers today. The words are relatable, and in a
poetic soliloquy of music, a timeless emotion thrives when the song is heard. 
“Time is always going by…. It’s still the same old story, a fight for love and
glory.” Casablanca has maintained potency in its icon status even today
for the resemblance it mirrors throughout society, history, politics, and
culture.
