Did someone say Joel Grey. I soooo love his performance/character in Cabaret. In my top 5 films of all time.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Big time Broadway guy too - he was in Cabaret. One of those guys who have been around forever.

Anyone know who the short older gentleman is? It's driving me nuts because I know I've seen him in television before but can't think of his name.

Edit:

Joel Grey ... and oddly I remember him from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series. Didn't know he was also in Remo Williams; now that's a blast from my past ... all those cheesy/fun 80's action movies: The Golden Child, Commando, Beverly Hills Cop, Big Trouble In Little China.

...and damn he's still lively for an 86 year old!

Does the name Liza Minnelli ring a bell ?

Ya really do have to admire the young man's unabashed brass-
Check this bit o' synchronicity: "Early in his career, Zonday regularly performed at Balls Cabaret at The Southern Theater in Minneapolis."-wiki

Wonder if he and fellow Minnesotan Prince Nelson ever hang out...

I can raise my voice to that power but the ship won't stay on course (I have no rhythm.) It is nice to be able to be the one with the biggest vocal nuts.

Doesn't any one remember how the Nazis and brown shirts did this sort of thing to the Jews leading up to WWII?

Assuming Cabaret used valid source material for its book.

Maybe it was a skinhead. They have them in the South, don't they?

Lady Gaga - Alejandro

HadouKen24 says...

I actually liked it. It's a tremendously complex video that rewards watching it several times and expending effort interpreting it. The man with the gun--did he shoot Gaga, or is planning to shoot himself? Perhaps he--Alejandro, apparently--is meant to signify a gay man trapped in a straight marriage. Note that in the bedroom, he and Gaga are both constrained by cables from the ceiling, as if they are marionette puppets. Perhaps he killed himself, and is thus the man buried by Gaga in the funeral procession.

What's the with the man wearing the Star of David with a cage around his head, and the man nearby wearing a stylized pyramid? Is Gaga just throwing a bone to the conspiracy theorists, or do they play a more significant role in the video? I am tempted to say that they do. They are presented with the lockstep march of the soldiers, offering commentary on the way they are closely regimented and controlled.

Just a few points: Every costume Gaga wears appears to symbolize some means of control or liberation. Nazi Dictator Gaga, as I have dubbed her, in the black outfit with the goggles, is a symbol of externalized, nefarious control. Cabaret Gaga, in the underwear, seems to represent purely carnal sexual liberation--just plain sex--which is outside her system of control, but does not seem to seriously subvert it. Machine Gun Madonna Gaga might is a woman who--like Dictator Gaga--has seized masculine, phallic power to herself, but in a rather dangerous way. Following the appearance of the M-16 bra, we see that the soldiers are led to violence and domination. Red Latex Nun Gaga symbolizes is like Dictator Gaga in that she represents control--but passive, internalized control, rather than external control--but is nonetheless just as controlling; she has, by accepting the system of control into herself, enslaved a man into a desperate, entirely inappropriate heterosexual marriage. The flip side is Anti-Christ Gaga, who, like Cabaret Gaga, symbolizes sexual liberation from control--but in a spiritualized, highly subversive form--though the flash of an appearance of Dictator Gaga may indicate that this, too, is part of the machinations of the system of control.

There's plenty more one can say. A number of narrative threads, occurring simultaneously, can be teased out of the video.

Also, lots of man-candy. Yay!
