cabaret - If you could see her through my eyes

[TheSevenCamels]

Directed by M. Night Shyamalan

[UnicornApocalyps]

If this were today he would probably say: "he wouldn't look like a man at all"

That would piss some people off

[Mime59100]

It's a great song. I'm glad they didn't change the line like they usually did back then

[0orazielo0]

Gracias por subir esto, lo he buscado tanto tiempo, Saludos desde Mexico !

[djsrob]

Chills.

[macca5467]

I've seen this movie maybe a hundred times, and been in a production of Cabaret... and the end of this song still blows my mind.

[atthewburns1229m]

This video went viral on Suriname

[agenttheater5]

i had not seen that last line coming

[STG44tiger]

Hilarious song. Loved it.......So true too

[jilloplo]

When it hits you, it hits you hard.

[cheeseInANutshell]

*watches song* "this is a nice song!"

*hears the end* "oh shit."

[MrBEKOSLAV]

I saw it when I was 13 and I was like "Boriiiiiiiiiiiiing"... And now I am 20 and saw it yesterday again and I was like "What a fucking GREAT MOVIE !"

[regularguytoo1]

just change the third word from the end of this song to another religion , and you realise that nothing ever changes....and I'm old enough now to think it never, ever will !

[Misducky03]

3 dislike ( Hitler, Eichmann, Himmler)

The song makes you think how the Nazis hate was founded on nothing but prejudice and insecurity... 

[66xXDeathIsNearXx66]

@Misducky03 Wrong.

[Misducky03]

@66xXDeathIsNearXx66 Really...explain why, you ignorant monosyllabic neonazi!!! I stand by what I said, the Nazis hatred was founded on nothing but prejudice, insecurity, jealousy and conspiracy theory's (fearing something that really did´t happened and that did´t existed)

[keydet035]

@66xXDeathIsNearXx66 Obvious troll is obvious.

[66xXDeathIsNearXx66]

@keydet035 Was?

[Italiano7211]

3 dislikes = 3 jew haters

[alamc200]

Brilliant performance and timeless message! always relevant..sadly some people just don't get it.

[PeaceNdLovee]

this scene always confused me. Is he trying to make a point with out getting put in jail...or is he just trying to please them? I mean he wasn't for nazis, right?

[PanaNearkhou]

@PeaceNdLovee To answer your question, he's making a point and mocking the Nazi regime. People often think it was only jews who were targetted at this time but people forget that it was also gyspies, homosexuals, prostitutes and yes, even cabaret performers as it was part of the 'underworld'. Anyone who was considered 'asocial', or different. Not 'aryan'. So here he's actually talking about himself aswell, its a very deep, solomn and clever song. Hope that made things a bit clearer :) xx

[roadrunneruntd]

the bit at the end always made me laugh when the dude goes to her doorstep and just says "im a jew" and it cuts to the next scene its so random

[OohcoolProductions]

This song punches you in the stomach at the end.

[btomimatsucunard]

Such a deep song.

[AndrueCParker91]

@KingZydrate thank you...awesome screen name by the way i love R.T.G.O.

[Merkin4pres64]

They sound nothing alike, but I'm reminded of "Too Many Mornings" from "Follies." Joel Grey would have made a good Ben.

[Pangie93]

My jaw just dropped on that last line.

[AndrueCParker91]

@krautdoggg when i watched this musical for my first time when i was 15 i was in pure awe thorough out the whole thing. this is one of the first musicals i have ever seen and it never made me feel ashamed to be apart of the human race it made really happy to be apart of it. its things like that that helped me and my friend be the brave few that came out of the closet in middle and high school.

[KingZydrate]

@AndrueCParker91 Power too ya!

[ClaqueContaptoe]

Esta canción debería escucharla y hacerle caso todo el mundo.... uno de los mejores papeles mejor interpretados del mundo del cine... el de Joel Grey en Cabaret.

[misterdj29]

This is one of my all time favourite songs from my all time favourite musical.

[ksobieraj]

LOVE THIS THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT

[Wailot6]

1:24 and so the pop-music was born

[thecompanyofwolves]

They didn't always use the word jewish in it either, in some versions they use the word 'meeskite' which I think is a derogatory Yiddish word for a jewish woman, or maybe just women in general.

[Saiaton]

Today he would have to end with --- she doesn't look Muslim at all to convey what it meant then

[GenghisKhan44]

@Saiaton Or "she doesn't look Christian at all" in secular circles.

[vonnycav]

I did this with an amateur theatre company in North East Victoria. Some woman cracked when our Emcee said "She wouldn't look Jewish at all." She thought we were racist. Obviously didn't get the point of that line.

[brittwit789]

I was the gorrilla in this play.

[NaJa0283]

"She wouldn't look Jewish at all!"

I always found that to be still taking the piss out of the NS ideology...

[IMMABEME74]

this makes me sick to my stomach. honestly disgusting am Jewish and i go to an all girls christian school, and we watched this for drama class, it was the most uncomfortable feeling, when he said the last line of the song, everyone had been laughing until then... it makes me so ashamed to be in a world where people got away with this type of shit... prejudice is fucking disgusting.

[sophiee22x]

@IMMABEME74 this song isn't prejudiced towards Jewish people, the whole point of it is that it is satirising/mocking the Nazi prejudice towards Jewish people. It highlights the Fritz/Natalia subplot of the musical, as he is Jewish and so is she and have fallen in love. It is poking fun at Anti-Semitic satire, and is highlighting the ridiculousness of the prejudice, not encouraging it. It is powerful and makes audiences feel disgusted at prejudice. I think you have misinterpreted it.

[l3onsi0]

@IMMABEME74 wow. what really sucks is how your school tried to brainwash you into thinking this was making fun of Jewish people. This song was meant to highlight the conflict between two characters' love story. It was during the time Nazis were gaining control of Germany and one of the characters really loved a Jewish woman and she didn't want to pursue the relationship because she was Jewish and she didn't want him to face the troubles with the Nazis. It's actually quite sad.

[ratlover35]

@IMMABEME74 this song was used to emphasize and go along with certain plots in the movie and bring light to the nazi propaganda so that it may never happen again. if you try to ignore the past, history will repeat itself.

[JPupp1028]

@IMMABEME74 I suggest your school teaches a class in critical thinking and then has the movie shown again. The whole point of the emcee and the musical numbers throughout the play was to show how ignorant it is. Hence when he says the "live and live" and why can't they just leave us alone.. It's called satire; it wasn't meant to degrade Jewish women it was meant to make the point that you should not judge or hate someone just because they may be Jewish/Muslim etc. It still holds true with today

[roadrunneruntd]

@IMMABEME74 jesus you are stupid

[CrustyClown11]

@IMMABEME74 Predjudice is an awful thing, but that's the way it was in the 1930s, and it would be unrealistic if the musical portrayed Nazi Germany in any different way.

[FRuhm1]

Great clip--marvelous picture..

[Myitt]

Thank you so much for uploading this! <3

[Sarahtdl]

When I saw this done live at a local community theater everyone was laughing and then he says the line about "If you could see her through my eyes, she won't look Jewish at all" and you could hear the audience gasp. The effect was perfect, people looked ashamed of themselves. It was great

[FM5KR6F2007]

Joel Grey is the undisputed MC of cabaret no-one can better him in my opinion.

[Saiaton]

This is much deeper than it looks and worth thinking about today.The 'Cabaret' itself is full of 'social dissidents', male transvestites, women acting men etc and this looks like just an extreme of 'What the Hell? Who cares? Your life, not mine!'.The killer punchline it back on itself that the liberals are the fools unable to see the obvious. We see this with the likes of Little Britain and Sacha Baron Cohen's characters Borat and Ali G, that tolerance is self-delusion

[SuppScott]

@Saiaton the hell are you talking about?

[sonnytrujillo]

@Saiaton you make no sense dude...

[colourfulwithaU]

Gray does such a fantastic job here.

[accdancer]

I think this movie did a great job portraying what life was like at that time when Hitler and the Nazis came to power. At the beginning it's just a lot of fun and everyone enjoying themselves and laughing at the Nazis, but by the end you can see more Nazis in the crowd and there's a darker feeling in the air.

[BadTVInc]

when i saw the show, and heard the last lyric line... i was like, " whoa, i ws laughing at that!" :P

[MaxTranceformation]

At first, you think of it as a silly little number. But as soon as he says the last line you relize the song was deep.

Favourite song of the whole movie.

[GenghisKhan44]

@MaxTranceformation It was deep from the beginning. A man just begging for the sympathy of the crowd for his overextended love for something undeserving of that kind of love. Ah, but that last line...

It shows how truly bigoted the crowd - and indeed, NAZI Germany - actually was. Makes me think a bit of today, actually.

[Salamon2]

@MaxTranceformation That's the Brechtian effect that I think they were going for.

[escottish140]

I always found Joel Grey's Master of Ceremonies to be insanely hot. Re-watching this scene brings back a lot of memories.

[aramacao184]

2:39 best happy face ever!

[MrJurekGG]

Lump in my throat...

[BETHRJACOBS]

The parents of the Nazis did this exact same thing in Africa before it was tried in Germany and these sorts of atrocities are happening across Africa and in the Middle east to some extent we are doing the same thing with our prison camps hidden in Poland with our extraordinary rendition and let’s not forget the very real witch hunts in Mass..

[TheJosephagus]

3:46 he reminds me of the joker

[grant1205]

i remember seeing this scene for the first time during the movie and feeling the gentle sweet comedy of it and then he says the Jewish line and you're just like woah.

[BunkyOhare]

Superb, and what a sting in the tail. The very taste of Berlin..and Brecht..and all that followed. "to know nothing of what happened before you were born, is to forever remain a child" Cicero.

[Jerdol]

I've seen this so many times, but only now did I realize how the red heart parodies the yellow star of david.

[Harvesterofpie]

This is great! Love it!

[salinger86]

3:05 - The Play Turns Dark Here.

[supermandisco]

I remember one movie critic commented that the only problem with this movie was the fact that the acts in this small community theater could actually light up a Las Vegas stage.

[krautdoggg]

This movie has so many moments like this where you just feel ashamed to be part of the human race. You really need to watch it every couple of years as you grow older, and the experience is different.

[TheJosephagus]

@krautdoggg if your ashamed of the human race maybe you should see what it's like being an ape XD

[yofakt]

@TheJosephagus :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D 

[1595luiz]

Excelente a performance deste genial artista!!! Gostei demais deste filme que retrata

particularidades daquela época em que o Nazismo começava da mostrar a sua verdadeira faceta

[claudiadmp]

Finally!
