I'm old enough to remember seeing this film in the theatres when it first came out. All my friends saw it, and we had good discussions about it. Technically, it's a great film from a young director - it was only his third feature film. Spike Lee shined a bright lite on the whole issue of racism in American life. After watching this film, I made sure to watch all of his films, but little by little I stopped. I like most of Lee's politics, but I get the feeling he doesn't think that people of different backgrounds can live together in harmony. It's unfortunate. If you want to see a more positive attitude, check out "Brother from Another Planet."
A buttercup is a flower.
I loved this movie when it came out Robin Williams was a talented actor. This movie reminds me of when people used to develop pictures it seems like digital took over
Hey, Sam. I wonder if I could ask you a couple questions about this reaction. I've just started a reaction channel of my own (not the account I commenting from) and this is going to be my next movie. I just wondered ... 1.) Have you run into any copyright problems with this one since you've uploaded your reaction? 2.) How on Earth did you get a reaction to this 4 hour movie down to a 47 minute reaction? 🤣 If you don't want to answer, I understand. No problem. Just thought I'd ask. I can use any advice I can get as I get started here. Thanks so much.
Howdy howdy! You can always ask me anything at any point and I’ll do my best to help :) I haven’t run into copyright issues with any of these LOTR movies! (Knock on wood 😩) As to being able to cut down so much, I think it was literally because there was just a lot of down time/parts that could be omitted due to not a lot of my own reaction/those parts being possible slow etc- I mainly put the parts in that have the best reactions/talking while also trying to keep things making sense story-wise with the movie. Always just trying to find that happy medium 😩 Good luck on your reaction journey!!
@@OGBReacts Thanks so much, Sam! That’s really helpful. You're one of the people who inspired me to finally give it a try. Have a look if you like. @SeenEverything I’m just trying to have a better strategy going into this edit. My first (trial run) video was a reaction to Cocaine Bear, but it got blocked worldwide after a couple weeks. So I took it down. I may re-edit and upload it again at some point. I just finished reactions to the new season of Doctor Who. No problems there yet (fingers crossed). Now I’m headed back into movies. Which is what I plan to do most of the time. Thank you again for being so helpful and offering to answer questions when you can. Good to have a friend who knows this stuff better than I do. 🙂
The mandalorian is cute and funny
This is my brother's favorite show I haven't seen it though but can't wait to
Recently watched this movie for the first time and GOD i loved it. My new christmas movie for sure. Loved your reaction! 33:05 I considered the note the film left off on as "Let's do this all again next Christmas! Ta ta!"
This is one of my very favorite movies. I really enjoyed your joyful reaction. Your laughter is contagious :)
This video was just recommended to me :) I watched Grease every day during the summer when I was in 7th grade. I never watched the whole movie since. I really enjoyed your reactions and have subscribed :)
Thank you!! Welcome in :)
I love your shirt!
"Really do hope you guys like this reaction" OMG 😭
The murder scene is one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen on screen. Even if it weren't based on real people I think it would still be horrifying.
I DIDNT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY 😩😂
@@OGBReacts I know, I know! I felt so bad for you as you said it.
One thing about this musical that's so interesting is that the songs don't FURTHER THE PLOT. THEY MIRROR THE PLOT...A very interesting choice compared to other musicals before and after it's time
I enjoyed that you tried to experience the film rather than sit on the fence being analytical. Rather than figuring out the “meaning” of the film, how you felt while watching it is what counts. Great stuff!
The scene with the blond boy singing "The Future Belongs to Me" is one of the most chilling scenes I have ever seen.
This was my favorite movie when this came out Kathy Bates and Leandro DiCaprio are my favorite actors, I also loved how the actor portrays Captain Edward Smith. After watching it I was obsessed with the Titanic and read books about it. I also found out that my Great grandmother was a teenager when it happened
This is an actually rather mild look at what the Civil Rights Era was like in the South at the time. The most authentic character in the movie, in my view, is the man who says Tibbs won't live out the week, and asks the chief whether he has the killer in his "front sights." The South was full of men like that -- congenial with his friends, but itching to be the one who kills the black man. When the movie was released (I was 16), every summer from 1964 to 1967 was beset with riots in the cities, black people who wouldn't tolerate ill-treatment any more in rebellion. (The one in my city, in 1964, started when the police started slapping a black kid around in front of all the people on the street.) Each summer, the biggest riot defined the season: in 1964, it was Harlem and Bedford-Stuyvesant, both in New York City; in 1965, it was the Watts section of Los Angeles; in 1966, it was Newark, New Jersey; and in 1967 it was Detroit, the only one for which the Army -- not the National Guard, which had already been used for most of those summers, but the Army -- was called in, and it took them two days to get it under control. There were rebellions in hundreds of cities. The violence, the wars of nerves between civil rights workers and the police, the beatings and killings of random black people by vigilantes (who the police allowed to do what they wanted) and by the police, many people who thought they weren't prejudiced (that was what we said; the term racist was relatively new on the scene) and showed their true colors when forced to take a stand: that was the backdrop to this movie.
Reaction to “The Little Foxes” would be great.
The scariest thing is that it is based on a true story. I believe that because of the language it was originally Rated X.
Thanks, Sam! 🌌 As far as the switch of 'Kylo' to 'Ben' being too quick... that was my initial impression, too. Upon rewatches I noticed when 'Rey' transferred Force energy into him to heal the lightsaber wound in his abdomen... it also healed the scar across his face. So, if it healed those two *visible* cuts, perhaps it healed emotional scars, as well? 🔸 And there is still so much STAR WARS remaining for you to explore. Plus new titles are on the horizon. Keep watching with an open heart/mind and you'll always find things in the galaxy far, far away to appreciate.
Thanks, Sam! 🌌 I love this one *so* much. 🔸 Those golden dice would've meant more had you seen SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY (2018) first.
Thanks, Sam! 🌌
Thank you, Sam! 🌌 Some of the character threads from this one get directly continued in the live-action OBI-WAN KENOBI (2022) series... which takes place about a decade after the birth of the twins. I hope you'll react to it, someday.
Thanks, Sam! 🌌 It's interesting to see the puzzle pieces begin to come together, isn't it?
Thanks, Sam! 🌌
Thanks, Sam! 🌌 Every ending is a beginning.
Thank you, Sam! 🌌 My maternal grandmother and I saw this one in the cinema when I was 12. It shook me to the core. But I recovered!
Thanks, Sam! 🌌
26:37 When i was in 10th grade my mom let me go with my neighborhood friends that had just gotten their permit, to the movies to see this when it got rereleased to theaters. our school mates older sister worked there so she hooked us up with free refills on cherry cokes, so much fun. Anyway that phone ringing scene scared me so bad i jumped out of my seat screaming that i had to pee and ran out of the theater to the bathroom lol
Love love love Cabaret and Liza, off course
Haven't seen this since i was a kid in the 70s. Great movie
Shame Max was just an asshole... if he'd been open, they could be a lovely thrupple.
The brilliance of this movie is the cabaret serving as a sort of Greek chorus echoing what is going on in the rest of the story. The stage play is different. There are more integrated songs but Fosse was able to use the medium of film to intercut the cabaret with the story. I agree that Minnelli is brilliant. Joel Gray is also great. Fosse didn’t want him but the producers told him to use Gray or they would take him off the film. Fosse then tried to basically cut his part to a minimum but the producers made him restore the footage. In the end, I love how it came out. Meanwhile, did you notice that the movie starts with the Nazis being kicked out of the club but ends with them in the audience. Finally, I think that Gray gives some depth to his character. As a Jewish actor raised on the Yiddish theater and at the time of this film a closeted gay man he projects all of the fear and anxiety that is behind his character’s facade.
It's a shame DMCA targets music so much... the soundtrack to this movie is prenominal.
Have you seen the movie “The Crying Game” yet? That could be the only reason you haven’t reacted to it in June. Also, the fabulous John Inman was in “Are You Being Served?” a popular comedy BBC TV series.
I love this movie... I know the the stage production is maybe better as entire story, but Michael York, Liza Manelli, and Joel Grey are just amazing. I also really appreciate all the songs are diegetic.
Michael York is excellent (and sooo handsome) in Romeo and Juliet 1968 Franco Zeffirelli.
The movie of Cabaret is really different from the stage version (and since the movie was a hit, they’ve gone back and adapted some of the movie elements and new songs into the stage script). Bob Fosse (who directed and choreographed the film Cabaret) is Broadway royalty and is responsible for a lot of huge shows from the 50’s-80’s. If you want to see him at his best check out the movie All That Jazz - it’s a great, dark, cerebral movie musical.
Joel Grey is Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing) fathrr. At the end of Buffy S5, Joss knew Buffy was canceled by The WB. He is a huge musical theatet fan. If Buffy hadn't gotten picked up by UPN, he felt he gave the show a good ending. And he was really glad he got Joel Grey to be in it. Liza was great in Arthur with Dudley Moore. I feel horrible as I thought Liza had passed, but she's still here. Yikes. She married and divorced four times. After her first divorced, she announced that she will never walk in on someone again. She will call first. That was how she learned her first husband was gay. Her second husband Jack Haley, Jr., whose father, Jack Haley, played the Tin Man alongside her mother as Dorothy. Her final ex-husband is far more controversial. He clain she abused him during alcoholic rages. After they married, Elton John equipped that he would pay to get Liza a straight husband. Allegedly, David hired a hitman to off Elton, but didn't follow through. After the divorce I heard unsubstantiated things like he was so obsessed with Dorothy/Judy, that he married the next best thing, her daughter. She denies bith the violence by her and Dorothy/Judy allegations.
A movie that asks what if Challengers had more song and dance and Nazis?
The songs are purposely parallel to the story all the way up to the chilling final shot. The nazis are not there to enjoy the Cabaret but to shut it down. This film is America now.
Was a shock when the academy gave 8 oscars to Cabaret. The Godfather was predicted to be the big winner. I watched something on KZread a couple of weeks ago about the 50th anniversary. I can't remember who did it, but it was awesome. Michael York was the big surprise in the cast. He was becoming the it girl at the time, and they were looking for a"M.Y." type. He was in a ZEPPELIN movie before Cabaret that I always want to call HINDENBURG. Not even close to the same. His work in period pieces like the MUSKETEERS, Sci fi like LOGANS RUN and DR MOREAU, and the AUSTIN POWERS are more in my kitchen. I never became a Liza fan. Always being unfairly compared to her mom. LUCKY LADY and ARTHUR are my picks. My Joel fave is REMO WILLIAMS, with him cast as a Korean. Apparently, there weren't any actors of Asian ancestry who could do the role. Oh well, the more things change, the more they stay the same. CABARET is just as important today as it ever was. Congrats on getting to experience it. Be well, babe.
Reactors that are constantly talking over the movie for no reason at all is cringe. React at something worth reacting to, don't just sit there and give your thoughts on every single thing.
People who don’t understand what a reaction video is then complain about it are cringe :/
@@OGBReacts there is a difference between reacting and incessantly yammering. Find the happy medium.
@@beardedjohnson5654 I very much clearly do my own thing and you don’t like it, and that’s okay, but don’t call me cringe for doing what I do and please feel free to not watch again! Thanks.
I highly recommend watching Christopher & His Kind as a companion to this, and/or El Dorado: Everything the Nazis Hated. They give more social context to what it was like for the queer community in Berlin in the 1920s and 1930s
A very powerful and effecting film of the play. If you get a chance to see the play in your area, I highly recommend it. There are many things done differently in the film than in the play version that make it a much more chilling experience.
