It’s 1971 in a filthy German nightclub, and Liza Minnelli is starting to think she’s made one of the worst mistakes of her life — and she’s not the only one. But what nobody realizes is that the weird little low-budget queer musical they’re making would become the stuff of Hollywood legend. This is the story of Cabaret — the film that made icons out of its stars, transformed the very genre of movie musicals, influenced art and culture for decades to come from Chicago to Schitt’s Creek … and served as a warning that’s as timely today as it was back then.

Both Hitler and Stalin were
socialists. In the twentieth
century, socialists around
the world murdered more
than 100 MILLION of their
own citizens. Socialism is
a demonic death cult, the
modern TOWER of BABEL,
a JACKBOOT stamping on
a HUMAN FACE FOREVER.

So the Nazis wanted to perform abortions on the Jews …. because they wanted to stifle the Jewish population to extremes and hated the Jews…but somehow you're still going to try to label it as not murder and genocide but "reproductive rights"??? Lol They were protecting other babies and mothers because they valued their German people….they didn't value the Jews obviously quite the opposite. They valued them as human guinea pigs and beings to torture.
Have you had an abortion or known someone intimately that has? My guess is that you probably haven't. It always does damage to the mother unlike full term pregnancy and it always does harm to the child even if unsuccessful, also unlike full term pregnancy.
I know you're clearly not getting the essence of the propaganda there but maybe just stop and have a think for a minute deeper than what is popular in the entertainment industry.
Love your videos keep it up booboo
Excellent video of a remarkable film and story. Thank you.
By Gods that was an Odissey to sit through, thank you so much
I hope you Yanks keep this movie in mind and do us all a favour when you choose your next president. We wouldn't want history repeating itself would we?
I just watched the movie on Tubi today….. I LOVE IT!
We stand at a similar point in history. It seems that Americans have forgotten or never learned about the threat of totalitarianism in the 20th century and the world war we fought to control it.
And confused one very down bad teen who got a twinkle in his eye for funny face. Had to check again to be sure. WOULD again n again. Liza got that staying power 💪
I've never seen Cabaret and only heard surface stuff like; it was great or fun and all that. I didn't know it was this deep, Might have to go watch🤔
Cabaret – Timely yet again in 2024.
I love this channel!
And here we are, 50 years after Cabaret, as Sinclair Lewis is attributed as saying: "When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
Old lady from harold and maude? Bite me.
Thank you for this
If seduction is the velvet glove, capitalism is the iron fist.
We in Britain worry that this could easily happen in America if the Orange Turnip makes it to being your President again, this time, backed by a lot of very much more sinister and reactionary people than Herr Hitler. That singing young man remains the most chilling scene in the past 60 years of movies.
Nazis = Christian Nationalist damnn America better vote carefully before its too late…
During the Hitler Youth's piece, while the rest of the audience was getting all stirred up, did you notice the dismayed old war veteran who was shaking his head? That was General of the Armies Omar Bradley. Bradley briefly mentioned this in his autobiography. IIRC he was in Germany finishing up with the movie Patton (1970) when, and I can't remember the details, he was asked if he would like the uncredited role. To do this? Bradley jumped at the chance.
when you are young, good looking and pretty life is mostly a party. queer is interesting. I remember cabaret. perfect cast. the academy got it right that year. good video.
Why are y'all so surprised? Her and her momma Judy
Cabaret has become a horror movie for Americans due to the similarities in the rise of Nazism in Germany and the rise of MAGA in the United States…..both horrific for their countries…
