Casablanca has the worst ending in a movie I've ever seen. Throughout the entire film, Ilsa has been trying to convince Rick that what she and her husband are doing is right and good, and that she can't be with Rick because doing so would jeopardize the work. Then in the final scene, she changes her mind and then he says: "But I've got a job to do, too. Where I'm going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that."

"Someday you'll understand that?" WTF? That's what she's been trying to tell him for the whole f*ing movie! She doesn't even respond, doesn't come anywhere close to whacking him over the head with her hat for being such a dumbass. Because the problem isn't with Rick the character. The problem is with the screenwriters. The film was written by something like half a dozen writers, each team being brought in to clean up the last one's work. The ones who wrote this last scene clearly didn't know what the hell was going on for the rest of the movie. Either that, or they were just misogynistic assholes who weren't interested in working on a movie where the powerful, intelligent woman got to be powerful and intelligent through to the end.

I hate Casablanca. If they had rewritten that last bit to "I finally understand that," it would have been passable. As it is, it's offensive, and I hate it.
