Morrissey, Casablanca, and Sunset boulevard

In Morrissey's song "Let me kiss you", I figure the song is about a person who loves someone, but the other person does not feel the same, yet the person who is so in love does not care whether the feelings are returned, just that they are with that person. There is a line of lyrics where Morrissey mentions someone closing their eyes and picturing someone they admire, but then when they open their eyes, they see someone they are not in to, and goes on to say his heart will always be open.

In Casablanca, a man and woman meet, but fall in love knowing so little about one another. People fall in love at the oddest times, and anything can tear them apart, especially a war. This occurs in most romantic tragedies, Romeo and Juliet were from two different families, and were split due to the war between the two worlds.

Sunset Boulevard was a great example that money does not rule all. Wealth can be enthrilling at first, but a persons true feeling will come out sooner or later. Once a person opens themselves up, they are doomed to be taken advantage of, definitely when the other lover has all the power and money. Love conquers all...not cash.

Very good point about Romeo and Juliet. I share a similar view. Relationships have to endure what life throws at them.
