Cabaret, directed by Bob Fosse chronicles the last days of the decadent Weinmar Republic and the rise of the terrifying Nazi regime in 1930’s Germany. Essentially Cabaret functions as an exploration of human behaviour during a particularly horrifying period of history, which is still relevant when considering the tragic conflicts which take place in the world today. But ultimately without the knowledge of history Cabaret becomes meaningless as the power of the film lies in Fosse’s exaggerated metaphoric reflection of Nazi Germany.
Cabaret is a film with many layers to the plot, characters, and themes. And in essence it is the underlying historical background of the film that gives Cabaret its powerful confrontational nature. Without the knowledge of the circumstances of 1930’s Berlin, the rise of the Nazi’s, and the Holocaust, Cabaret is basically reduced to cliched rubbish.
