Love Thing

Morrisey's song is about kissing someone he likes, but she hates him and remembers as soon as she opens her eyes after the kiss. He notices this and says that he still loves her even though she doesn't love him. I thought the lyrics are awful and had no real story. It's hard to follow along, but while he was singing, he was reaching out and showing body language that shows love and adoration.

In the scene from Casablanca, we saw two people who were very in love with each other during a time of war. I think that the idea of this was that there is still hope and something good in the world even when terrible things are going on around you.

Sunset boulevard was in the narrative of the main character, but the love in the section we saw seemed to be aimed at him from a woman older than him. She is rich and says she loves this man, but it seems to be more of an infatuation with the main character. The main character does not care for her in the same way. It seemed to me like he may have been in a relationship with her just to gain more fame. At the end of the scene, we find out that she has cut her wrists because he didn't have feelings for her, but he is concerned when he finds out, which shows that he does care.
