Kalissa H @kali_416 Aug 16 Really great. The way it portrays the characters living their lives while cruelty goes on around them was very well done. Liza Minnelli is so good in this role.

Joel Grey steals every scene he's in, while Liza Minnelli's grating Sally Bowles makes the central romance surprisingly difficult to care about. Despite its iconic status, the film never fully comes together.

It omitted key characters whilst including new and far more pointless or otherwise less effective ones for seemingly very little reason; those who survived were often relegated to easter eggs, such as Fraulein Schneider who, in the original, was one of the most important characters. The massive, sweeping changes to the plot and characterization led to the songs feeling somewhat disconnected from the plot in a way that felt unintentional. There was no sense of horror when "If You Could See Her" began playing, and the finale fell flat because the story had never bothered to really connect the political side of the story with the relationship side even by omission; the nazis were instead relegated to simple set dressing, and there were no nazis whom the main characters knew personally. Some of the songs were well executed, but overall this is simply a worse reimagining of the original.

Additionally, even though politic is ass, we should actively involve and try to see what the party try to bring into our local community or country.

I wouldn’t recommend it for kids, but I feel like there’s a lot of things in this movie that adults can enjoy. I thought the shots were cool too. See more Read all reviews
