All about Emcee

What does he want?

 

From reading the script and watching the film you start to realise that you don't actually find out a lot about the person Emcee. He is a mystery, we only hear about him at the Kit Kat club where he performs. But you never ready or watch about him outside of the club. His life resolves around the club and entertaining the audience. He obviously loves being surrounded by the Kit Kat girls and genuinely there's an air of happiness for him there. It was like he was born there and grown up there. The fact that you never hear about him outside of the club makes it seem like his living a double life almost like a superhero. Like he's one person in the club, this flamboyant, eccentric character and then when he goes home he could be a happily married man with a family.

 

 

 

Where is he from?

 

You never actually find out whereabouts Emcee is from but I would think he was born in Berlin and has lived there for a long time just because of the way he acts. He seems so comfortable in his surroundings and doesn't seem to knowledge the fact that he's entertaining people with such acts with a Gorilla and lots of woman. Even though he's an eccentric person I recon he looks out for the Kit Kat girls as he's the only male performer. He's like a male role model for the women or could be a friend to cry on his shoulder.

 

 

 

 

What's he like?

 

Emcee is one of the most mysterious characters from 'Cabaret'. Nothing is said bout his life outside of the Kit Kat club. All we know is what he's like in the club. He is eccentric and flamboyant with both his make up and style. He obviously loves to entertain or you wouldn't be able to keep up such an act every night. He seems to have a good relationship with the Kit Kat girls with repetitive acts with them and some close scenes with Sally Bowles. His hair is styled into a males do but his make up is very similar to the girls. This could impress both sexes in the audience which helps get more people interested and curious. He seems to live some sort of double life which really interests me it reminds me of superheros with one life at work and another at home but in this case what does Emcee do during the day as we all know what he does at night.
