“Casablanca shows us how cold and hard Rick is…”
I just noticed a few days ago that Rick is sitting in behind the black chess pieces, I’ll bet as some subtle suggestion of the same. Or maybe I’m over-thinking it.
Edit: I forgot the best part. The setup of the pieces was a real game Bogie was playing against someone. Of course, I was looking it up because everything is chess now.
