She just looks so powerful in this....even when she's down on her knees (do NOT go there, perverts!) in what appears to be frustration, despair and anger.
LOL! Ya this is a GREAT song by Bette. Check out the rendition we did of this masterpiece by clicking on my username. Leave a comment and tell us what you think!!!
This is Bette Midler here the divine miss m she is a goddess not just a fabulous actor but also an amazing singer. She's the best thing to ever happen to Broadway and beaches was the best movie ever made. I Bette's biggest fan and I ow her my career she inspired me and for that i dedicate all my work to her.
@fatalmayu.check out the full version of the "oh industry" song on your tube with the black guy dancing on a hollywood rooftop.brilliant.just type in oh industry to watch the black and white video.
I think it's about how since the war is ending, then there will be no more use of the "lord of the manor" because they won't need him to make weapons anymore. So he asks industry what will happen to him now that the war is over. So i guess it's ironic that we are meant to feel sympathy for someone who has helped in causing destruction.
Guess i'll add my opinion since I disagree with the people who've poken up so far. I think this song is about the continued industrialization of the world and how it is replacing humanity.
I actually pulled the song using some fancy smancy program...but thank you anyway! My cabaret troupe is performing this routine on saturday...fingers crossed.
idkk why but when my best frend died in november died i listened to this song over...i think its cause i was to lazy and down to change the song! but anyways so when ever i hear 0:40 it gives me chills like u wouldnt believe
I've always been puzzled by the meaning. Seems it would be about stardom and losing your identity (she's wearing the mask at the end) but I also think it has something to do with WWI, the "yellow winds" being mustard gas and the "hydrogen fuel burns so clean" perhaps referring to the zeppelins. She mentions this "glorious war" coming to an end...so something to do with the time between WWI and WWII maybe? Either way, I've always loved this scene and its elusive meaning!
those of you too young to know bette's acting career should see "the rose". along with "beaches" it's her finest work (and there is a lot more where that came from!).
bette miller is such a great singer and actress, this is my favorite part of the movie, i rewind it over and over again just to see this great artist singing such an outstanding song...
To me this part is by far one of the best parts of the movie. I kinda wish we could have seen if this part had a whole musical to it. I know I would have gone to it. Bette Midler sure know how to carry her self and what she sings.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS SONG!!! I have the soundtrack but dont' like that the recording is different. I have been known to rewind this particular scene up to 15 times and love to just watch it over and over! YOU'RE THE BEST!
I absolutely love this part!! The reason it sounds different than the album is that Bette likes to do all vocals live for film. If you have the Gypsy recording and film, the vocals don't match either. :)
One of my favorite movies
