Depiction of Cultural & Political Life in Germany up to 1933
The film cabaret shows the extremes of cultural and political life in Germany up to 1933 by the representation of Jews, women, the clubs, goals of life, as well as the representation of the communists, the Nazis, and general Hindenburg suggests that Weimar Germany's hedonism and indulgence by it's society led to an acceptance of Nazi Germany. The film cabaret depicts the culture of Germany up to 1933 quite accurately. It's representation of the Jewish was one that they were rich, with power, which in Germany at the time was true, for instance, the writer of the German constitution was Jewish. Women were depicted true to life, having many more rights than what would be expected of pre 1933. Women could smoke in the street, wear whatever clothes they wanted, there were women in parliament, and in the movie Cabaret, an important thing to note is that Sally had control over herself, and could decide for herself about her matters, for example, having an abortion. At the club where Sally works, The Kit Kat Club, there are transvestites, demonstrating an extremist social group. These extremists made people become uneasy, and swayed them to believe that democracy provided too much freedom, that democracy meant decadence. The kit Kat c
Posters of General Hindenburg which had been vandalised by the communist party, with the letters KPD scrawled across them in red paint are the backdrop to Brian and Sally walking down the street. They are highly emotional, and unstable. Many people believed that the Nazi's and communists would cancel each other out. It also shows the normality of the political parties, such as the communist party and the Nazi party, battling it out with each other. Let them get rid of the communists and then we'll get rid of them. In the beginning of Cabaret, the Nazis are kicked out of the kit Kat club, while near the end, when Brian challenges the Nazi's, he returns barely able to walk. He is confused, and the Weimar republic was confused, and did not know where they were going. Max says ""the Nazis are just a bunch of stupid hooligans but they a useful purpose. Many people did not enjoy the Weimar Republic, and in Cabaret, a passing comment made by one of the ladies staying in Sally's apartment was "I wish the Kaiser was back". He is a confused man, not sure which way he is going, whether is straight, or not, he changes his mind several times before he packs his bags to leave for London. A very accurate depiction of the Nazi influence is when Sally Brian and Max are sitting in the beer garden and a Nazi youth stands, all decked out in uniform, to sing the song "tomorrow belongs to me" and he is gradually joined by everyone sitting in the gardens, excepting Sally, Brian and Max and an old man, who shakes his head the people who follow the Nazi's blindly. He understands how naive it was to follow. An analogy used in reference to Brian and The Weimar republic is about Brian's sexual orientation. "Many people underestimated the force and power of the Nazi's. Kirchner painted scenes of people, and added unnatural colour to experiment with reality because the reality he saw was not one he liked.
