You got it! Very good perceptions.

You know Michael York from Austin Powers as Basil Exposition. This time right before the nazis took over was a wild time in Germany. Underneath all the partying and excess and decadence is the harder and harder to ignore stamp of goosestepping jackboots. It turns out life isn't a cabaret.

Knowing the history of cabarets gives this film a lot of context. They were underground “variety” shows in 1930s Berlin, but they were so much more. They were about pushing boundaries and social commentary. They were known for gender-bending, progressive sexuality, and for using satire to criticize the Nazis. Yes, the art was a reflection of society, but it was protest art - created and performed to challenge that society. Of course, the Kit Kat Club makes an interesting backdrop for the story. And your take is terrific! The elements of the story, and Sally herself, are challenges to the conservative sexuality of society at the time. They are also a reflection of the changing politics as the Nazis came to power. Ultimately, Sally chooses her life free from social strictures to pursue stardom. Fritz chooses to reveal himself as a Jew for a life with Natalia. But we’re left with foreboding that it’s not going to work out well for any of them. The story ends with the master of ceremonies saying goodnight and the ominous symbol of how the entire cabaret has been corrupted, overrun by Nazis. Unfortunately, in real life, the Nazis eventually destroyed the Berlin cabarets and executed the vast majority of the performers.
