20 Perfect Shots From Oscar Winning Movies
14. Casablanca - Ilsa Departs
Casablance is one of the most iconic movies of all time, and it's impossible to forget the final bittersweet farewell between Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) and Ilsa Lund (Ingrid Bergman).
To really rub salt in the wound, the audience gets to watch Ilsa and her husband walk off out of Rick's life, disappearing into the fog as they board a plane for Lisbon.
The entire scene is full of memorable shots (the plane taking off, and Rick and Louis strolling through the fog), but this is definitely the most evocative, encompassing the movie's characters and themes perfectly.
