    I rewatched Cabaret last week and I keep coming back to the most important line in the movie: “You still think you can control them?”

    Christopher Isherwood, the diminutive gay Anglo-American novelist, playwright, screenwriter, autobiographer & diarist best-known for her semi-autobiographical novel Goodbye to Berlin (1939), which inspired the musical and movie "Cabaret," was BOTD in 1904 and died in 1986 at 81

    "Cabaret" the movie is overlong and lacks the meta-experience of being addressed by The Emcee in a live audience, but it's worth it for a filmed record of what a genius Joel Grey was in that role This scene still brings me chills, as it should for everyone

    Went to the Academy Museum today for CABARET. Stepped into the Stories of Cinema installation. Romare wasn’t with me but my partner was who’d never been. And for the first time on my watch a director who has a film in the installation walked in with her family. Sarah Polley. Fun.

    Watching some kind of debauched Rollerboy party scene right now, and I’m wondering if the costuming on the one female character with lines (ah, 80s movies!) is a “Cabaret” reference. Probably giving this movie too much credit.

    Today in 1978 we lost Geoffrey Unsworth, the superb cinematographer who was filming Tess when a heart attack claimed him. He would win an Oscar for that film, his second after Cabaret; I think he also deserved one for his stunning visuals for Kubrick’s sci fi masterpiece. And don’t forget Superman!

    It was a tragedy that we lost Bob Fosse today in 1987 at age 60; he could have made so many more brilliant films. The choreographer-turned-film director started with high energy musicals (Sweet Charity, Cabaret) before shifting to celeb bios (Lenny, Star 80) and his work was always provocative.

    okay. so - age of enlightenment resulted in industrial revolution during late 18th century into 19th century and that led to rapid transformation of society and general increase in quality of life and vast overhaul of social conventions. in Max Weber terms - that was a disenchantment of life and rule of rationality and it led to romanticism which was about taking the enchantment back and not being a buzzkill. Goethe, Byron, Schiller, Shelley - these fellers. by mid 19th century romanticism…

    These 70s comics aren't movie equivalent, it's not like you're discovering The Last Picture Show or Cabaret for the first time. They're kids comics struggling to outgrow that. Unlike Looney Tunes or Disney, they have an identity crisis about what they want to be, their goals. They're pretty screwy.
