GENIALE GODARD - in questo montaggio alternato (tra musica e voce fuoricampo) c'è narrazione, riflessione, ironia, autoironia, ritmo e grande senso delle potenzialità che ha la macchina-cinema quando a usarla è uno con tale inventiva). Il pezzetto finale, poi, è tutto da ridere!
to all the people that are saying that tarantino "steals idea's", isn't that the reason why tarantino is such a great director, he takes aspects of films and genres that he loves and montages them together in his own films. its sort of like a montage of many different influences. old kungfu movies, spaghetti westerns, Godard amongst many others! rather than stealing i would call it a homage to what he loves!
@ec247006 : I think it was sarcastic : considering the latest movies Godard did, he clearly doesn't care about making money. Anyway, I think he kind of snapped at Tarantino because when they were both in Cannes for the festival, Tarantino made a ridiculous homage to Godard on French TV (kissing French cinema's ass and everything), and Godard doesn't care for phony praise like that.
In response to Monsieurkickyourderrier: Tarantino actually screened this scene for the actors, so that they would understand the natural effect he was after: uninhibited joy, without worrying too much about being a technically good mover. Also, the scene in Pulp Fiction, where Bruce Willis is being interviewed by Ving Rhames in the bar, and is shot from the back of Rhames' head, is taken from the opening sequence in Godard's Vivre Sa Vie, which is also shot from behind the protagonist's heads.
Maybe it's because I haven't seen this film, and I don't know the full context, but I can't see how people can say that Tarantino ripped this off. The only similarity (if you can call it that,) is that this takes place in a diner in the '60's, while Pulp's takes place in a restaurant made up like a '60's diner. Otherwise, this has three people, is random, and choreographed. Pulp, has two people, is not random, and it looks like they made the dance up on the spot.
I'm willing to bet that Anna Karena was the subject of many a boys' wet dreams, especially in Band of Outsiders. The only thing sexier than a woman in a fedora is Anna Karena in a fedora.
Otra memorable escena de baile. Es curioso el recurso de silenciar la música, aunque no el ritmo y los pasos de los bailarines, para dejar paso a la voz del narrador sabedor de los penamientos de los personajes en ese preciso momento.
Otra cosa curiosa es que el personaje interpretado por Anna Karina haya sucumbido a la seducción del chico feo con jersey a rombos.
All the more impressive because I believe they shot the scene first and then put music to it later. Incidentally, I don't blame Tarantino for nicking the idea of a dance scene because it's not like this is the only dance scene in a movie before Pulp Fiction.
This is as classic a scene as ever there was. It's been referenced in everything from Tarantino to Rocky Horror. As for the choreography, it's a really repetitive Madison, I believe.
yeah i can't believe the copyright owners of this allowed it to be cheapened by appearing in some commercial. Bill hicks was right advertisers will hang a dollar sign on anything won't they. makes you sick.
@TheLoneShooter Yes coz when you see the original it's great and shouldn't be re-done, the only good thing about the diesel ad is that it brought me to this upload which is fantastic so there has been some good in the commercial..but I haven't rushed out to buy diesel hahahah
@mitsymagicful i'll say the same 2 u, move on, evrything in the future gets copied by sumthin from the past, move on and get shagged, sorted!!!! that diesel advert was sick!!!
Does anyone think that what Franz is thinking ("everything and nothing, Uncertain if reality is becoming dream or dream reality") is so romantic? Or maybe is because I like him better than arthur....
This is a really sweet part of the movie, out of the humdrum of their situation there's nothing like a good random dance routine :) it put's a smile on people's face :)
The music is R&B or soul music composed for the film by Michel Legrand, but Anna Karina said the actors called it "the Madison dance."[from wikipedia]
whats the name though?, cause that means pretty much nothing....Im thinking this was never realesed...just a little song legrand wrote for the film, spur of the moment.
there's some words lost in this translated version of the film - arthur's uncle, mr. sigalet, says drunken gibberish to franz, who replies with something along the lines of "great furniture, mr. sigalet!" (franz is messing with the man - a play on words: sigalet was a famous furniture company during the time the film was shot)
when I watch this clip, I say to myself, why not people that come to France nowadays learn from the beautiful french culture, and be open-minded to new ideas. This is 21 st Century and its OK to accept new ideas instead of living in the past !!!
A huge amount of movies have a scene that intercuts between two people on a phone or a scene where people have a conversation in a moving car, this is not considered plagiarism.
Two movies have a naturalistic dance scene, this is considered plagiarism by some.

Él eligió, cara...
Tarantino's style is actually very similar with Godard. They both do a lot of homages. Godard makes literature, music, poetry, painting and movie etc. .homages in his every movie. Tarantino does movie homages in his every movie. Their way to tell a story is reconstructing the usual way of making movies. Their movies have elements from everywhere, and they are thematically unique. A lot of homages, but it's not stealing. It's art.
@s0olid i completely agree except for the last 20 years of godard's career - he's using this truly unusual cinematic language that seems to make sense only to him! but his early nouvelle vague stuff kicks ass as does most of tarantino's output
Some people even say the greatest dance scene in French Cinema. And not because the dance number is huge and fantastic, which it isn't, but because of what it projects. And all done in one take lasting 4 1/2 mins. A joy to watch every time. VERY cool!
Band of Outsiders has to be one of only two or three watchable Goddard movies. Goddard occasionally makes incredible movies, but often they're unwatchable.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
kinda pathetic when people note something else Tarantino stole. Duh. The over-rated fool has never had an original idea in his life! (I guess everybody actually does know he's just a thief.) Very good to see people finding out about the original material, however.
kinda pathetic when people note that a director steals ideas. Every director's work can be traced back to works that have influenced them. There's no denying tarantino's a great storyteller.
Addressing a French audience, Tarrantino once said: "My biggest fear is that somebody asks me to tell a story. Luckily americans are too stupid to realize all I ever do is steal from several sources. I wouldn't have a career at all if Americans figured out how to read and watch movies at the same time."
except for the guys who made the first films.... who did they steal from? Here's a question. Who invented the dissolve, the fade in and fade out, the dolly move?
Hmm... I suspect a mixture of dances - or one made specially for this 1964 film. I suspect, because of the layout of the 'dance area' the latter is more of a possibility. 4 Wall dances in 1964 were non existent. There are a number of 'tube vids of The Madison.
Was this ripped off a Criteriod DVD? I just watched the Criterion and the subtitles are different than this. But translation can be interpreted in different ways...
An interesting thing about this dance sequence is that they obviously shot it without any music and then added the music afterwards. That's why the three actors keep clicking their fingers - so that they don't lose the time.
The three actors are Claude Brasseur (he's the one in the terrifying sweater), Anna Karina and Sami Frey, btw.
Don't understand the question, sorry. All I meant was that by clicking their fingers in roughly the right tempo, the actors were able to keep in more or less the right rhythm so that the music would seem right when they overdubbed it later. Also, as Renchiping points out, the clicking makes the dancing look cuter.
I don't think the music is overdubbed... that would be unnecessarily complicated. Instead you could just have a guy who presses start and stop on the tape at the right times.
I am not a gambling man, but I will bet you money that they overdubbed the music. It is actually far easier to overdub it than to have some guy on the set with a tape machine - for one thing, the tape machine has to be individually hooked up to the audio track, and then you have to trust that the tape player will work when he presses the button, and the music will start at exactly the right instant...and all that has to be done live to camera. Much easier to overdub it afterwards.
It's the 60's not freaking cretaceous. Finding a reliable tape recorder shouldn't be the problem.
How are you going to have them keep the rhythm? Have a band record it to the footage? A metronome on the set you would have heard.
Every other option seems unnecessarily complicated to me. You can't just shoot the scene and cross your fingers that it will sync up in post production.
Plus the audio sounds like it was recorded in a room and not overdubbed directly.
Maybe you should watch the video again, but the actors aren't exactly in sync to the music. They are perfectly in sync to each other, which you would expect if they had danced to just their own clicking fingers as cues. But with regard to the music, sometimes they are in perfect sync and sometimes they are way off. I take this to be coincidence.
I think the actors worked out the sequence, danced it, and then they overdubbed music in post production to come in at more or less the right moment.
I did. They're always on the 2. When there's a silent passage and the music starts again, they will correct.
If it were just random, you would expect them to be on the 2, +4, 1, 3+... but they're always on the 2 more or less.
You're a musician... record yourself clapping to your favourite song, and then see how it syncs up... you'll be all over the place, not just slightly off.
I had this clip on my myspace and I accidentally deleted it. I didn't know where it was from or what it was called or anything. I'm so glade I found it.

What is it then?
Soundstage8 2 years ago
Hmm... I suspect a mixture of dances - or one made specially for this 1964 film. I suspect, because of the layout of the 'dance area' the latter is more of a possibility. 4 Wall dances in 1964 were non existent. There are a number of 'tube vids of The Madison.

It also inspired the dance scene between Travolta and Thurman in Pulp Fiction.

Was this ripped off a Criteriod DVD? I just watched the Criterion and the subtitles are different than this. But translation can be interpreted in different ways...

An interesting thing about this dance sequence is that they obviously shot it without any music and then added the music afterwards. That's why the three actors keep clicking their fingers - so that they don't lose the time.
The three actors are Claude Brasseur (he's the one in the terrifying sweater), Anna Karina and Sami Frey, btw.

but the clicking makes the dancing more beautiful ,easy and cute

Do you think that the dance i real time?
ThePeacefulCat 3 years ago
Don't understand the question, sorry. All I meant was that by clicking their fingers in roughly the right tempo, the actors were able to keep in more or less the right rhythm so that the music would seem right when they overdubbed it later. Also, as Renchiping points out, the clicking makes the dancing look cuter.
lexo30 3 years ago
I don't think the music is overdubbed... that would be unnecessarily complicated. Instead you could just have a guy who presses start and stop on the tape at the right times.
romanoskar 3 years ago
I am not a gambling man, but I will bet you money that they overdubbed the music. It is actually far easier to overdub it than to have some guy on the set with a tape machine - for one thing, the tape machine has to be individually hooked up to the audio track, and then you have to trust that the tape player will work when he presses the button, and the music will start at exactly the right instant...and all that has to be done live to camera. Much easier to overdub it afterwards.
lexo30 3 years ago 3
It's the 60's not freaking cretaceous. Finding a reliable tape recorder shouldn't be the problem.
How are you going to have them keep the rhythm? Have a band record it to the footage? A metronome on the set you would have heard.
Every other option seems unnecessarily complicated to me. You can't just shoot the scene and cross your fingers that it will sync up in post production.
Plus the audio sounds like it was recorded in a room and not overdubbed directly.
romanoskar 3 years ago
Maybe you should watch the video again, but the actors aren't exactly in sync to the music. They are perfectly in sync to each other, which you would expect if they had danced to just their own clicking fingers as cues. But with regard to the music, sometimes they are in perfect sync and sometimes they are way off. I take this to be coincidence.
I think the actors worked out the sequence, danced it, and then they overdubbed music in post production to come in at more or less the right moment.
lexo30 3 years ago 3
"Maybe you should watch the video again."
I did. They're always on the 2. When there's a silent passage and the music starts again, they will correct.
If it were just random, you would expect them to be on the 2, +4, 1, 3+... but they're always on the 2 more or less.
You're a musician... record yourself clapping to your favourite song, and then see how it syncs up... you'll be all over the place, not just slightly off.
romanoskar 3 years ago
I'm not convinced. They don't seem to me to be nearly as in sync with the music as they are with each other.
