Cabaret 1972 - If you could see her

[@CathyKitson]

The whole song pivots on those last six words.

brilliant yet sad,, emblimatic of this time, Joel Grey was amazing,, perfect

[@howardcoles3537]

I agree. And I think Joel Grey got an Oscar for his performance throughout the film as the Master of Ceremonies. Thoroughly deserved ! He was amazing. No-one else could have bettered his performance, or even come close. As you said, perfect !

[@michaelarrowood4315]

Amazing clip... I've never seen this scene before, but it's a lesson that we still need to learn, over and over again.

[@RebeccaEdwardsJamesEdwards]

Joel Grey is completely amazing! You will NOT find anything like him ever again. Please treasure his talent now & far, far into the future.

[@JustineWittich]

Joel Grey is superb!

[@introvertedaz9963]

That part scared the shit out of me, the way the camera angles just perfectly so his eyes and face are contorted is brilliant.

[@Beerman111980]

It's such a brilliant performance. And scary at the same time. Joel Grey is great.

Just brilliant

When I saw Caberet as a child, I was shocked and traumatized by this song.

[@markgillis6356]

What about it shocked and traumatized you? I'm not questioning your reaction, it's just that there is so much about this song to be shocked by.

[@bemiatto67]

​@@markgillis6356 maybe the creepy gorilla suit

[@diddums86]

I saw it on stage yesterday, and I was shocked too. The surface level of bestiality, the satirical suggestion that Jews are animals, it's difficult to get past. Maybe it's a kind if brutal, hard-hitting satire the musical hadn't offered up to that point. The silly writhing of the dancers, the totally outdated provocation of that number about threesomes, the way Christopher the homosexual hedonist from the novel is soft-boiled and turned into Cliff Bradshaw the straightlaced American -- none of that worked, for me. And then we get a number about a Jewess/Chimp? Ugh.

[@goodhartsmusic]

@@diddums86I would say discomfort / revulsion is the point

[@diddums86]

@@goodhartsmusic Yes, that's more accurate. But I still feel it comes very much out of the blue, in its brutality.

Fantastic

Brilliant

[@MarthaDwyer]

Bob Fosse, the director and choreographer, had his wife, dancer Gwen Verdon, find a gorilla suit and then fly with it to Germany where they were shooting.

[@sandravanek869]

I didn't realize that's how you see me

[@flakyace]

a simian jewess dancing to oblique hatred,,,,, amazingly well peerformed,,, live and let live meine heren

[@adamdrummer1991]

3:40 ... Oh Hell No!

[@SardonicALLY]

What's the problem? Maybe you are taking it too literally ... the song is written from a dual perspective. Society sees her as 'other' in this case represented symbolically by the costume of the female character, but he sees her as she really is. It's actually quite beautiful and thought provoking. It affirms her humanity despite the way the society of the day views her ... and we are forced to view her though their uncharitable eyes by the symbolic costume. Which is a source of discomfort until you realise what the piece actually means.

[@adamdrummer1991]

@@SardonicALLY I just take it as an oh heck I didn’t see it coming. I love the song and I only think of it as a lovely song. But the way he sort of goes slightly sinister at the end. The real oh hell no moment is In “tomorrow belongs to me” because these songs were written by a Jewish composing duo. But then you see that everything becomes powerful in it for the wrong reasons.

[@NATILLA838]

@@adamdrummer1991 I don't think it's sinister, but just a splendid, ironic, clever and activist way of telling us the pure reality. And unfortunately, after all this time since the 2nd World War, it keeps happening! 😢

[@Dancingwolf325]

@@adamdrummer1991 lol, thought you were talking about how the mask looks in that particular shot. The lighting and angle make it look a little weird.

[@bigbootyhunta]

I think that particular skit exemplified the changes going on in German society which the movie depicted so well in the performances in the cabaret club. By that, l mean the clear anti-Semitic last line of the song.

That last line isn't played for laughs, though.

man did u even watch the movie because genuinely how could the point fly over your head like that

Terrible. Wish I didn’t like the music.
