It's completely different from the plot of the musical, and I guess it's closer to Christopher's original novel. Although the songs and dances have been deducted a lot, each song is very exciting, especially the choreography of the money song. I have watched it over and over several times.
The whole movie is like what Sally said when she cheated twice: Divine decadence. In fact, before I watched this movie, my impression of Germany was all rigorous, solemn, and puritanical, but the Germans in kit kat klub were obviously not like that. Even if the dark cloud hangs over Berlin, people still have fun. Smarter people like Max would stuff silk shirts and gold cigarette packs in their suitcases and never return.
The movie's description of the Nazis is also much omitted than the musical, so you can see the whole story at a glance. The emcee and the actresses danced on the stage wearing round hats and short skirts. The next second, the ribbons on the hats were removed and the brim was lifted, turning them into Nazi military helmets. In the musical, the wedding of the Jewish fruit seller and the landlady was cancelled, but in the movie Fitz mustered the courage to marry the Jewish girl he loved because she did the worst thing possible: Turn him into an honest man. Will he regret making such an honest choice when he finds himself out of luck?
When it comes to Fitz, he follows Sally's advice, "You have to pounce on a virgin." This would be considered very politically incorrect today, but the swoops in the movie did make them come to fruition in the end. I imagine that this rich lady is probably naturally repressed on weekdays, and is suddenly aroused when she is pounced on by a man for the first time, and responds with "the same fire, the same enthusiasm". The female protagonist of the three-cent opera also expressed similar feelings. Some men were gentle and gentle, but she couldn’t spark. Mac the Knife pressed her to the door forcibly and didn’t give her a chance to refuse. Instead, she fell in love with her. . Times filters can romanticize sexual assault, but this kind of forced love doesn’t work at all in the lives of modern women.
Compared to Fitz, the Jewish couple, I think the happy threesome on the other side is portrayed more naturally. The three of them drank and danced in Max's luxurious home. The three beautiful faces were tightly packed together, as if they were about to kiss each other in the next second. The atmosphere couldn't be more ambiguous. In this triangle, Brian seems to be the one who needs to be "swooped" by Max. Max gave him a cigarette case at first, but he felt humiliated and angrily rejected it; as a result, Max secretly gave him the cigarette case by hiding it in his trousers. what. In contrast, Brian's bisexual setting in the musical is more like a decoration and has no practical effect on the plot.
To say that these three people, in fact, none of them can be called any virtue. Sally is vain, Brian is cowardly, and Max is cunning. Such a combination is doomed to fail. But each of them has their own unique charm, especially Liza wearing peach heart bangs and false eyelashes like a broom, and sticking a green rhinestone matching her nails on the beauty mole, it will definitely make people unbearable to tear it apart The lies she told. Brian's description of her is correct, she can't be a femme fatale, but in fact everyone can see that she is just a little girl who wants her father's attention.
