Sally has bought what the Cabaret is selling, "leave your troubles outside, here life is beautiful". Sally pays no attention to the emerging Nazi party throughout the film, preferring to be completely self absorbed. .
Maximillian is probably the only character, apart from the MC, who nurtures no illusions and readily accepts the corrupt man he is. Although through his class and money he is lulled into a false reality regarding not only himself but also his fellow Barons. Max's ignorant attitude towards the Nazi Party is shown by him saying that the "Nazis are just a gang of stupid hooligan's. But they do have a purpose. Let them get rid of the Communists. Later we"ll be able to control them", stereotypes the attitude of the German Upper-class and portrays how unaware Germany was of the political uprising of the Nazi regime. Max's constant approach of attempting to run from his duty as a Baron is made evident by the reactions of his house keeping staff towards Sally and Brian. It's is only in the latter scene of the beer garden during the harrowing anthem of "Tomorrow belongs to me" that the viewer is required to reassess Max's stand. Brian's haunting words of "Do you still think you can control them?" are met by Max's indifferent shrug indicating that he personally is no longer sure of what is in store for the German society. Max, during Sally and Brian stay with him, offers them a trip to Africa. Sally and Brian are quite enthused by this idea, but Max instead escapes the reality of the Nazi problem by canceling the trip. He then proceeds to leave Germany and concentrate on saving his wealth. Indicating that although reality had begun to sink in, his socio-economic position allowed him to leave a country slipping into disarray. .
As a representative of the ruling elite that was under siege by the imminent rise of the Nazi party, Max avoided all possible involvement in the plight that Germany found herself in, preferring to maintain the same cold, ironical distance that characterises his relationships.
