Just watched Caberet, the 72 movie. It was pretty good. Who else enjoyed that?
Since I'm not a married 40 year old man in the closet, no I haven't seen the movie.
>>64401154
what good is sitting alone in your room?
I liked that one scene, you know the one.
I expected this movie to be about sexual degenerates being disgusting and kinky while the Nazis are outside attacking innocent people.
What I got instead was a brat flirting with a queer for a whole movie.
>>64401154
i thought it was fairly decent. the photography was excellent (love that blown out glowy soft effect) and the performances were great. the story goes a bit flat, in the middle, tho.
liza is oddly qt

>attacking innocent people.
lol
A great film.
>>64401256
>claims he hasn't seen the movie
>knows it panders to homosex
Something smells fishy!
I liked it, especially how it got progressively darker in tone.
>>64401154
I only enjoyed the Hitlerjugend song
>>64401154
I love that movie. Guess I'm gay. The anons who made fun of me for disliking that high test actress the other day were right.

Joel Grey is really good in it. He beat Al Pacino for an Oscar that year.
Fosse put the line "If you could see her through my eyes, she wouldn't look Jewish at all." back in the movie after theatregoers protested about it in the stage show. BASED FOSSE.
Watched it about four months ago, I think, at the suggestion of a coworker. Absolutely 10/10 acting, theatrical scenes, sets, comedy. My Michael York boner hasn't descended since.

I've read that the movie is almost nothing like the stage show besides the setting.

WELCOME
superior bob fosse film coming through
>>64401154
Great movie, could have been some boring cookie cutter Titanic style tragedy instead its depiction of the liberal elites own egotistical self absorbtion giving way to their own downfall
>>64404324
take out all the fake Lenny Bruce stuff and it would be 10/10.
Those editing scenes are weirdly overlong. I guess Fosse meant it to be frustrating to sit through, as he was frustrated editing it, but it's still a buzzkill.

"Elites"?
You do realize the movie is supposed to set during the Weimar republic?
>>64404592
>Did you use apply the term "liberal elites" in describing a movie taking place in the Weimar republic?
Is it somehow wrong?

You think there was a Hillary Clinton in 1920s Germany?
>>64404720

>I'm going to assume he's using it in a narrow Americancentric contemporary sense and criticize him for that
I couldn't enjoy Caberet because the characters were genuinely awful people.
The way the film ended with the audience members all being Nazis was pretty haunting, but I want the Nazis to stomp out those horrible excuses for human beings.
>>64405367
well you should be faggot. musical theatre is creative and delightful.

Social policy is not a liberal thing, except in America
>>64405220
Which makes them liberals?
>>64405423
>I couldn't enjoy Caberet because the characters were genuinely awful people.
That was the point of the film
>>64405632
>Social policy is not a liberal thing, except in America
What were they then? Considering that they were the ones fucking trannies in the ass and doing all other degenerate shit.
>>64405632
>Social policy is not a liberal thing, except in America
It literally is you fool, the difference is outside America liberal connotates right wing economic policy which during the Weimar Republic was everything short of Socialism
>>64405724
>read any european newspaper
>there's always some socialist complaining about evil liberals wanting to take away welfare benefits
>>64405694
Socialists or communists. But probably apolitical.
>>64405847
Jesus Christ I'm really arguing with some flyover Cleetus aren't I.
Welfare is an economic issue not a social issue its about government spending and structure of the employment market. Social issues are about wanting to dress up in drag, have freedom of speech on your stage show and take part in gay three ways. You're right they're apolitical because they never cared a damn about the German working class in the film which is why they were Liberals because they only wanted their social freedoms
>>64406065
>social policy is about allowing homosex
No. It's about welfare benefits, pensions, public education, etc.
There were simply no such thing as "liberal elites" in the Weimar republic. The nazis, social democrats, conservatives and communists were the only political movements worth mentioning.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_People%27s_Party
>During the Weimar Republic, it was one of two large liberal parties in Germany, the other being the left-liberal German Democratic Party.
>The party was generally thought to represent the interests of the great German industrialists. Its platform stressed Christian family values, secular education, lower tariffs, opposition to welfare spending and agrarian subsides and hostility to "Marxism" (that is, the Communists, and also the Social Democrats).
So you can compare what "liberal" meant in 1920s Germany compared to USA today.

One of my favorites. It replicates my worldview when I was an angsty teenager, but manages to be really well-acted and interesting.
