The point/moral of this movie?

A lot of people seem to think that Bogart also tells Paul Henreid that he let Ingrid Bergman "pretend" that she still loved him was Bogart "giving up" Bergman, but I've always thought it was the other way around.

Ingrid Bergman was prepared to sacrifice herself for Henried, and that Rick realized in that moment was true love was, and that his relationship to her was superficial and he grew up in that moment. This also sort of explains the sexless "beautiful (unselfish) relationship" that Bogart is starting with French cop.

What do you think the point of crux of this movie was. In any case one of the all-time classic movies.

Before I put your trolling ass on ignore, I will make one more comment for anyone with an actual brain that stumbles onto this thread. Whatever this movie was when it was made, it turned into an alltime major classic for a reason ... because it was something more, and because that something more was hard to figure out, it was not preachy or trite or commercial. This movie had appeal because it is universal. Someone with the moniker GayConservative who is obviously a troll, and obviously very far away from anything intelligent or serious would not understand that. More's the loss for you. Now I will put you on ignore so I don't have to see your inane posts or comments any longer.
