      karaoke hall

      9.0 points. The rise of the Nazis in Germany is based on the life of a female star in a karaoke hall. Germany was gradually controlled by Nazi public opinion; the work is between nonsense and seriousness. The Nazis are seriously discussed by escaping in the karaoke hall. Later, the whole audience seemed to be Nazis, and the words and deeds of the male protagonist were the director's views on this. The most powerful part is that the country boy sang the "party song" from mild at first to...

      yesterday's world

      The original screenplay of "Casablanca" "Everybody Comes to Rick's" (Everybody Comes to Rick's) was originally unknown on Broadway, and was adapted into this great masterpiece by Warners. Since Rick's hotel is full of fish and dragons, all kinds of people are available, and this story has a strong political meaning in addition to the main line of love. Many fans like to associate the characters in the hotel with the political forces at that time one by one. For example, Rick himself...

      Best anti-war movie I've seen so far

      When I watched "cabaret" at the Golden Horse Fantasy Film Festival, the depiction of ordinary people before and after World War II was very special, and it reflected very delicately that people thought that Jews were nothing, and Nazis were a little crazy, but after a long time, people really believed that Jews were cannibalism and drinking people. Bloody, Hitler also became an undeniable belief. To be honest, this detail suddenly gave me a new understanding of war. Any reason to start a war...

      Second musical, better than LLL

      Shocked! Whether it's Liza's performance or Sally's character, singing and dancing or plot, camera change or interspersed, it's all too tense! Before World War II, the life of the upper class in Germany, the lavish life, the rapidly spreading and uncontrollable Nazi atmosphere, and the people's numbness and sense of crisis are also vividly reflected! It turns out that the director (almost) specializes in musicals! "Chicago"! BTW, the British and Americans are obviously contrasted with eye...

      I came in without reading the introduction and I was completely unprepared to watch a romantic film. The level of the director is quite first-class, especially when dealing with literary dramas. The body language at times, the hesitant words when sad, the whole film is fascinating, but it's just not so singing and...

      I liked it so much that I couldn't speak... The beginning was amazing. After reading the end, I was not satisfied. I re-read the beginning and seemed to have suddenly read history and life... Dialogue style and a book I am writing a thesis (Vile Bodies) are exactly the same... Really a product of the same era. The hustle and bustle of the karaoke hall and the social conflict under the dark cloud of the Nazis are very strong. The gorilla metaphor is wonderful! There's too much to...

    Movie quotes

    • Sally: I saw a film the other day about syphilis. Ugh! It was too awful. I couldn't let a man touch me for a week. Is it true you can get it from kissing?

      Fritz: Oh, yes. And your king, Henry VIII, got it from Cardinal Wolsey whispering in his ear.

      Natalia: That is not, I believe, founded in fact. But from kissing, most decidedly; and from towels, and from cups.

      Sally: And of course screwing.

      Natalia: Screw-ing, please?

      Sally: Oh, uh...

      [thinking]

      Sally: fornication.

      Natalia: For-ni-ca-tion?

      Sally: Oh, uh, Bri, darling, what is the German word?

      Brian Roberts: I don't remember.

      Sally: [thinking] Oh... um... oh yes!

      Brian Roberts: Oh, no...

      Sally: Bumsen!

      Natalia: [appalled] Oh.

      Brian Roberts: That would be the one German word you pronounce perfectly.

      Sally: Well, I ought to. I spent the entire afternoon bumsening like mad with this ghastly old producer who promised to get me a contract.

      [pause]

      Sally: Gin, Miss Landauer?

    • Brian Roberts: How's the, uh, gigolo campaign going?

      Fritz Wendel: Terrible. This week, already I'm giving up three dinner invitations to spend thirty-two marks on her.

      Brian Roberts: That's quite a sacrifice.

      Fritz Wendel: And here's the craziness: I like it. God damn it!

      Brian Roberts: What?

      Fritz Wendel: I think I'm falling in love with her.

      Brian Roberts: Oh, I'm so sorry.

      Fritz Wendel: So am I.

    • [describing a telegram from her father]

      Sally: Ten words exactly. After ten it's extra. You see, Daddy thinks of these things. If I had leprosy, there'd be a cable: "Gee, kid, tough. Sincerely hope nose doesn't fall off. Love."
