one minute dude... i'm still finishing Skam ep 9... Ok, here now :) ...

Rain ༊*·⟭⟬⁷

This movie is genuinely a masterpiece. I remember watching it for the first time I couldn’t shut up about it to everyone around me. I think as well the line “we have no troubles here” shows that a lot of people were distracted and didn’t take notice to the awful situation going on during the time and how they were maybe in denial. The ending always gives me chills and if you go watch it live there are different ways of ending the show but they’re very sad and quite disturbing. For example one version is the emcee in the end strips off his outer clothes to show a concentration camp prisoner uniform with a pink triangle. It’s completely tragic. (sorry for the long comment I love this movie if you couldn’t tell)

2026-11-14 13:00 Thank you so much for this reaction. I agree with Rain, it is a masterpiece. I was very, very lucky to see a revival of the play on Broadway with the great Joel Grey reprising his role as Emcee--amazing. There are some differences between the play and the film, but both are equally brilliant. Cabaret
2026-11-14 03:50 Thank you so much for this reaction. I agree with Rain, it is a masterpiece. I was very, very lucky to see a revival of the play on Broadway in 1987 with the great Joel Grey reprising his role as Emcee--amazing. There are some differences between the play and the film, but both are equally brilliant. The music is by the great Kander and Ebb, and the Bob Fosse choreography is fantastic. The characters are fascinating and their stories keep you intrigued, as you said. Cabaret's importance in American musical theater is undeniable and it's significance for where the world is today cannot be overstated. Just to clarify, it does not take place during WWII, but rather in the years leading up to WWII, and shows how the nazis gradually rose to power. Initially, we see the manager of the Kit Kat Club kick a nazi out of the club, but then we see that he gets murdered for doing so. Max dismisses the nazis’ significance, saying "we can control them," but then in the rural area where there is a gathering going on, we see the young boy singing "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," and the camera pans down to show his armband--one of the most chilling scenes I've ever seen on film. We also see nearly everyone join in singing in support, except for one old man. Brian asks Max "Do you still think you can control them?" Finally, at the very end of the film, we see the distorted reflection of the club patrons and several of them are in nazi uniform--it has become accepted that they are in the club. Of course, they would eventually shut down all the avant-garde, innovative, and sexually liberated aspects of social life that existed in Berlin in the 1930's, so a club like that would not have lasted much longer. Ultimately, the message is that fascism's rise can happen while life is going on around us, and that it's very dangerous to ignore it or dismiss it because that's how it takes control. With the rise of fascist politics in many countries today, we all would do well to heed that message. Thanks again, Dylan, for this great reaction! P.S. I am seeing La Bola Negra in the cinema tomorrow—From what I’ve read fully expect it to be an overwhelming experience.

Sally is a sadly tragic figure, much like Holly in Truman Capote's 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' , caught in the mid-century feminism that was rejecting the old rules, but basically had no new place to go :( And a second watch is definitely worth it, you can catch so many subtle details between Brian and Max, now that you know to look for it...

Each time I view the sequence where the HitlerJugend member sings “Tomorrow belongs to me,” I feel anxiety. Because Nazism crept slowly into German society and normalised hatred toward unconscionable minorities and all the “isms,” it sometimes seems as if history repeats itself without us noticing. Every hard-won advance and freedom can vanish quickly. It is a brilliant movie.

Thank you for this reaction. I wish you could have Movie Musical Mondays…… I’ll help curate for you….lol

You definitely pick up more on a second viewing. You haven’t missed a bunch of Liza movies she didn’t make many she was more a musician and stage star.

There is one of the best limited series I’ve seen that deals with the behind the scenes of this show as an episode. It’s called Fosse/Verdon it’s a biopic of the director of this and his wife. The acting in that is fantastic and has some pretty big name stars in it.
