In Sunset Boulevard, the man does not love the rich lady. This is love that is not returned. She showers him with gifts but he will not accept it. She lied to him saying people would be there for their party, but instead it was just the two. He runs off, wanting to be with people and away from her. He meets his best friend's girlfriend at the best friend's New Year's Party. He wants her and she wants him. This makes a point that if you like someone there is a chance they can not return the same feelings. If the other person is off limits than you are likely to want them. Is he willing to betray his best friend, especially after letting him stay at his apartment? He then finds out that the woman he just let slit her wrists. The author is trying to say that you have to be careful whose heart you break. Love can drive someone into acts of violence or insanity. In Morrisey's song Let me Kiss you he seems to be talking about physical attraction. Physical attraction makes people want to have contact with the one that they desire. This is a trait of love but not the actual meaning of love. Kissing is a sign of attraction and/or love. The scenery for the song seemed to be soft and romantic.

The Love Blog
In Casablanca the author seemed to try to say that love can come at the most unpleasant times. The two characters are in danger of losing each other. They try to make the most of the time they have together. They claim they love each other, but they don't know one another all that well. The male character makes the comment that he knows that she had her teeth straightened. It has only been a few days since they have been together and he is already talking about marriage. Maybe the situation is trying to say that people could feel rushed to fall in love or once in love, they will be in a rush to get married.

That is absolutely true about sunset boulevard. People seem to be unsatisfied with whom they are with and always try to look out for others that are on a relationship. I don't know why that is. Nature!
