Define allegory. I can't really although I am sure I know what an allegory is.
Cabaret is one of the most marvellous movies ever made. You will either have to sit through this one, not an unpleasant experience at all, or listen to a minute or so and then go to the end where you are hit with the punchline and it becomes clear it was an allegory.
One of the great musicals, brilliantly filmed.
ReplyDeleteNo argument from me Victor. Just brilliantly done.
DeleteGosh, I must have seen Cabaret a million times when it first came out. Not just well done but of a genre all its own.
ReplyDeleteHas it really been 40 years? There must be generations who've never even heard of it. Their loss.
FC, I have seen it a few times, over the years. It is so good to see the best bits on You Tube. It wasn't my coming out movie, but it was a reinforcer.
DeleteAllegory: a speech or discourse which conveys a meaning different from the original one.
ReplyDeleteSo sayeth my dictionary.
River, when I checked the word, that is what I found and I thought it fits. Do you agree?
DeleteBrilliant, I agree totally Andrew and I adored seeing this again, all the way through :) must get the movie out and re watch one rainy afternoon.
ReplyDeleteDon't rush it Grace. I think there might one or two more clips from the movie that I will post.
