I'm doing this thing for school I'm having some trouble with a few of the questions. Because I've only seen the film once, I can't really answer all of these. Please help me. Here are the questions:

1.) What evidence in the film do you see of the political unrest seething in Berlin?

2.) What is Max's attitude toward the Nazis? (I can't for the life of me remember who Max was!)

3.) While the Kit Kat dancers are mimicking the Nazis, what are Nazi sympathizers doing at the Landauers?

4.) Why has Fritz concealed his religious indentity?

For some reason, I am incapable of answering these questions. My memory does not serve me well. Thanks in advance for the help.

well the play and the movie are totally different!

1.) What evidence in the film do you see of the political unrest seething in Berlin? - The moment in the film where the nazis beat up the guy in the alley, and the political party where the young student sings tomorrow belongs to me (Which are both not in the musical)

And fritz isn't even in the musical either, it's more like the older character of heir schultz who sings "pineapple" he's hiding for fear of being caught, just like many jews in the 1940's.

I know. The show is 10x better than the movie. Unfortunately, these questions are about the movie. Thanks for the help.

2. Max (the rich guy who falls for Sally and Cliff..er, uh I mean Brian) doesn't believe the Nazis have or will gain control. There's a line after the boy sings "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" as Max and Cliff are leaving that goes something like, "You still think we have all the power?" - Brian

3. Could it be the scene where Natalia finds that the Nazi's have killed her dog and left it at her doorstep? I'm not really sure.
