The movie opens with a camera shot of an audience in a big brass mirror. The movie also ends with the camera panning to this same mirror. Is there any significance in this? Does the mirror actually mean something or is it just there because it "looks cool"?
shareMirrors reflect.
We are invited to look back.
The people in the brass are reflected, but do they reflect upon their actions in their internal world. Do we really see the people in the mirror?
At the end of the film, we are looking back at what happens to a world that has so much revelry that it does not have time to reflect upon its actions.
It wasn't the revelry that made Nazi fascism possible...it's what happened WHILE they were reveling that made Nazi fascism possible. They didn't notice.
And look at what happened!
A reminder that we need to conserve and preserve and then revel. Conserve, preserve, live, relax.
In that order.
Vampires don't reflect but their Nazi uniforms do. By the end of the film we can finally see them.

Mirrors reflect. And what we see on stage in the Kit Kat club reflects what's happening
outside in the streets.
