0. Sally's first song and dance segment Sally sang Mein Herr in the first solo performance at the 10th minute of the film. She didn't know Brian too well at this time. But the lyrics of this song express Sally's psychology at the end of the film. Lyrics: https://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/cabaret/meinherr.htm Excerpt: Bye-Bye, Mein Lieber Herr. Goodbye, my dear sir. Farewell, mein Lieber Herr. Goodbye, my dear sir. It was a fine affair, but now it's over. But now it's over. And though I used to care, I need the open air. You're better off without me, Mein Herr. My husband. Don't dab your eye, mein Herr, don't wipe your tears my husband, Or wonder why, Mein Herr. Don't dab your eye, mein Herr. Don't dab your eye, mein Herr. I've always said that I was a rover. Wanderer, You mustn't knit your brow, You should have known by now You'd every cause to doubt me, Mein, Herr. My husband. The continent of Europe is so wide, Mein Herr. My husband. Not only up and down, but side to side, Mein Herr. My husband. I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, Mein Herr. 1. When Sally's father Sally introduced her father to Brian, he said that he had "traveled all over the world to deal with major national events," and then sighed. Brian then said, "Then you must rarely see him." At this moment Sally stopped and looked at Brian in surprise: "What are you talking about? We meet often. He can't bear to be separated from me, he takes me on vacation whenever he has time." Later, he introduced himself at the earl’s dinner table. My father also said, “We have the most marvelous relationship. He can leave work and come to me at any time.” However, we can see from the scene when Sally is about to meet his father, she not only washes away With the nail polish on my hand (a nun's hand), the whole makeup looks completely different as usual, and at the same time it shows extreme expectations. Everything shows that she rarely meets with her father, and it is the preciousness of this meeting that caused Sally's collapse after her father's missed appointment. When Sally accused his father, he said: "It happens to be only ten words." She should be referring to the ten words as a unit when sending telegrams, and her father always sends telegrams in one billing unit every time, without saying a single word. 2. Sally's introduction The host of Cabaret introduced Sally in the following words: so beautiful, so talented... Later, when Sally cried because of her father’s missed appointment, Brian comforted her and said: "You're a perfectly marvelous girl, and beautiful, and talented." And marvelous is also a word Sally loves to use. Sally said "I am a most strange and extraordinary person" when she first introduced herself. After Brian proposed, Sally also described Brian as "You are a most strange and extraordinary person". After attending Fritz’s wedding, they were lying in the grass. Sally also described the upcoming baby as “It’s
4. Miss Landauer's first English class In the first English class, Fritz secretly hid his patched sleeves in front of Miss Landauer, just as he hid his Jewish identity. Miss Landauer pronounced the word "phlegm" as "plegm". After being corrected by Brian, she asked in confusion, "Why is g still there if you don't pronounce it?" Brian couldn't answer either. This is because the spelling and reading and writing of German words are very consistent, while there are many unexplainable phenomena in English. Some people even made a special word to illustrate this point: Ghoti is a word created artificially to express the irregularities of English spelling. This word is pronounced the same as the word "fish" (English pronunciation: /ˈfɪʃ/, meaning "fish"), and is considered to be another spelling of fish. The word "ghoti" includes three phonemes: "gh", pronounced /f/, and "tough" (English pronunciation: /tʌf/), "enough" (English pronunciation: /ɪˈnʌf/) and other words " "gh" is the same; "o", pronounced /ɪ/, same as "o" in "women" (English pronunciation: /ˈwɪmɪn/); "ti", pronounced /ʃ/, and "mention" (English pronunciation : /ˈMɛnʃən/), “action” (English pronunciation: /ˈækʃən/) and other words have the same “ti”. When most English speakers see this word, they think that the pronunciation is the same as "goaty" (English pronunciation: /ˈɡoʊtɪ/), so this word is often used to illustrate the irregular relationship between English pronunciation and spelling. It is often used as evidence to support English spelling reform. https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoti 5. Ms. Landauer consulted with Sally Ms. Landauer asked her about sex and love issues because Sally has a lot of sexual experience. When Miss Landauer was confused whether it was love or was confused by Fritz's body, Sally replied without hesitation, "As long as you are happy, what does it matter?" Miss Landauer said that Fritz asked her to marry him, but there were too many practical obstacles. After the leap, Sally replied: "In this case, you'd better forget the whole thing." This is consistent with what Sally did to Brian later. 6. Relationship with the Earl Sally asked him for a cigarette when she first met the Earl, and said exactly the same thing when she first met Brian: "Great decadence." This is also in line with the "Man by man" Sally sang in the first song. After the camera cut to the earl’s luxury car, Sally and the host began to sing a song praising money, Money, Money. Then the three traveled together, and the host and two girls were singing Two Ladies, which was about the lives of a man and two women. At first glance, you might think that the corresponding relationship in the song is Sally and the two men. But in fact the two girls are metaphors Brian and Sally. 7. There are many singing and dancing sections in the Nazi film directly related to the Nazis. At first, when the hotel owner was beaten by the Nazis, the scene that was repeatedly switched was a silent, and the host kept beating the girl's dance. Later, when Landauer's pet dog was killed, there was an anonymous dance that imitated the Nazi posture. There is also a section of the host dancing with the orangutans. At the end, the host said: "If you can see her through my eyes, she doesn't look like a Jew at all." Then Fritz opened the door of the metaphorical cage to confess. Shots of Jewish identity. When Brian and the earl ate in the open-air restaurant, a member of the Hitler Youth League sang the song Tomorrow Belongs to Me, which resonated with many people. At this time, Brian asked the count, "Do you still think you can control them (Nazis)?" The count sent Brian back to the apartment and lost his temper to the driver. Then he cancelled the trip to Africa under the pretext that he was going to Argentina. plan. This was because the Nazis opposed homosexuality, and the count realized that Feng Xiang had to sever ties with Brian. To a certain extent, Brian's aversion to the Nazis is also related to this. The last section of the song and dance bridge Finale is almost identical to the opening section of Willkommen. Ironically, after so many things happened around cabaret, the host still said the same line: "We have no troubles here." At the beginning of the film, only one Nazi member appeared in the karaoke hall and was driven out by the boss, but At the end, through the reflection of the wall, you can see that there are already many Nazis in the seats.
