For every spike jonze, fincher, gondry or cunningham there are 10 michael bays or McGs. Granted they make good music videos. Although there is hell to pay if you give them a feature!
Obviously they've sampled "Into My Own Thing" from the Sly & The Family Stone 1968 LIFE album. What about the bass part. It sounds like George Chambers playing. Is it sampled from The Chambers Brothers , "All Strung Out Over You" ?
Chris is a throwback to the way-back, the good times, when actors were.. meh.. but ENTERTAINERS pwned the world. Acting wasn't enough, you had to be able to sing, to dance, to and make with the funny. He's perhaps the last of the greats, dearies. We should cherish him while we can.
Christopher Walken is a complete BADASS!!! Sure he can dance. He also has an I.Q. of 925, a ten inch dick and is personally responsible for the Earth's gravity!
Notice the moment Walken's face goes calm as he hovers above the ground. He's hanging there, old and youthful, jubilant and afraid, as alive as he's ever been and as close to death, too. Some directors are visual masters, others are midwives to meaningful performances. Jonze is both. He's the guy to whom people will later point and say, "Yeah, he captured what it felt like to live then better than anyone else." -gq
Spike Jonze, the director of this MV, did this in memory of his dad, because his dad spent lots of time traveling and lots of time in hotels. I love that it's Christopher Walken. Awesome.
that's the most stupid thing i've ever heard!!! so u believe that they had like 30 35mm:s cameras?? and also he has to have the body lines rigged the entire video! In one take! HA! Stupid!
Seriously, are YOU stupid? "One take" meaning; He didnt have to re-shoot any scene due to dance misstakes. Yeesh, you'd think people would use their mind.
It's interesting how when he does that motion with his hands it looks kind of like a t-rex or something, then they used the song in Night at the Museum where one of the big things in the movie is a living t-rex.
Anyone had the impression that they ran out of things to do for him somewhere near the end? Aw, I don't mind. Awesome video! How can one man be so cool?
Walken is the greatest actor ever, he can truly do it all and is especially great and playing disturbed or slightly psychotics. but dont underestimate his comedy either.
It's popular because this dance is used in Guild Wars (by male dervishes). And because once you listen to it once, it gets stuck in your head, so you have to listen to it again.
if i remember correctly from the pop-up video on VH1 there actually was a stuntman used at the point where he jumps of the table and one other spot. he did do all the dancing though
there is no stunt man, walken is a professional dancer then after his first acting job he studied and became a proffessional actor.
to check when u say he swaps u can see the flap of his jacket on the screen at all times around 1.47-1.49. put it on large screen if u dont believe me he really is an amazing actor. no stuntman was used
Nope you're wrong. There IS a slight aid of a stunt man. And the jacket does go out of scene for miliseconds but I was lucky enough of pause just at that crucial point.
Like my Grandad after a few pints, nowere near as good as that though! lol
