this film be make in the early 70 and i have probably view it almost ten time and but it still feel fresh and sharp in it analysis of different people in a highly frustrated and controversial society . the viewer be take to the eventful atmosphere of berlin in 1931. the focus of the film be on an interesting relationship between two opposite . brian be a young newly arrive english teacher and sally a cabaret performance artist . brian seem touchingly innocent and uncorrupted and while sally be the lively opportunist and who not unwilling to sleep with producer in hope of a film career . sally be a bit naive in a very lovable way . we also get to follow the story of fritz and natalia and the gold digger look for a rich marriage and the daughter of a rich jewish merchantman and and their difficult relationship . the master of ceremony and maximilian and a wealthy aristocrat and both illustrate a nonchalant and immoral life style . i can not help to be charm by the elegant self confidence and divine decadence of these two character . i guess decadence be see a a stylish virtue in western jet set culture . any film with such ingredient and cast could be great and but cabaret be however also a musical . the song and performance support the storyline perfectly . unlike in other musical the song seem like a very natural part of the story . the most memorable scene be when a youngster stand up and sing a patriotic song . soon the viewer get to see the swastika on his left arm and the audience stand up one after one and sings with him . the scene give you cold shiver and because the emotional impact be quite scary . the scene make you wonder what your own reaction would have be and help to understand how vulnerable people be . most other song be great too . if you could see her ( through my eye ) be both heartbreaking and hilarious . be it a crime to fall in love . few film i have see involve a much depth and many different level a cabaret . the film be very entertaining and but also realistic and analytical and critical . my all time favorite .
