Chicago - We Both Reached for the Gun

[Needle13]

My favorite number. Loved the reporters.

[miliarr]

Mary Sunshine: "Are you Sorry?"

Roxie: "Are you Kidding?"

[MrReed314]

What the heck happened to Renee Zellweiger? She was on top of her game, doing good flicks, and then suddenly, nothing, What happened?

[GaladedridDamodred]

I might be wrong, you guys, but I think they both reached for the gun.

[Cr4shdufe]

... are you kidding ? :3

[GhostDragon10]

Mary Sunshine is Leonard's mom in Big Bang Theory O_O

[ARFCguy]

The ensemble's dancing in the background is amazing. It couldn't be any better.

[duckduckmoai]

Any bashing of Renee's acting talent after watching this is hereby invalid. She especially did great physical comedy in this one. Like a very macabre Lucille Ball.

[DxTHIRDRUNNERxD]

So catchy!! :D Can't sing along to save my life though.

[blondiee140]

My favorite part of the whole movie!

[TheIgetcrazy24]

this is my favorite part of the movie

[raducan3687]

Jaja si parece muñeca!!!! I love Renee

[selmalover]

"Are you sorry?

Are you Kidding!?"

My Favorite part

[kayleighcolfer]

This is my second favorite song!!!

[henanimejade]

I watched Chicago a lot when I was a child. I loved singing this song haha

[comecobre]

Allure Of The Seas <3

[CrankDatJonasBoi]

I was in Italy this summer and no joke I saw Richard Gere walk right past me in Verona...I instantly thought of this song XDDDD

[2esstupida]

when it looks like the roxie dummy is talking/singing, who actually is?

[xskullxkissesx]

@2esstupida it's actually the actress who played Roxxie XD Billy 'speaks through' her as a doll to make up a story to gain support from the press.

[2esstupida]

@availdname its coming to the MUNY this summer

[availdname]

I so want to this shit live.

[saltypop13]

I swear that is not zellwegger . . . that's a dummy, no way! :O wow . she's fucking great!

[elizabethellen116]

the song starts at 1:07 you're welcome. :)

[LucanVaris]

I dunno... I found everyone's acting in this scene, except the lawyer's, to be a bit wooden.

[requiem417]

@LucanVaris I see what you did there :D

[19person895]

He totally groped her at 2:52 :P

[GaladedridDamodred]

Brilliant physical acting from Zellweger in this scene. <3

[breeyona1]

Oh yes they both reach for that gun <3!!!!!

[AlainaHasDreams]

The choreography for this movie is absolutely phenomenol! I am in love with all the numbers! And the choreographer!

[pojot]

I don't understand. They both reached for what ?

[VelkokralovnaBylanta]

@pojot The gun ;)

[pojot]

@VelkokralovnaBylanta The what ?

[VelkokralovnaBylanta]

@pojot The gun :D Gun it's a shooting thing,weapon...you get it? :D

[pojot]

@VelkokralovnaBylanta A shooting... what ? weepaon ? Do you speak English ?

[Runelady07]

A scathing satire of the American justice system and its shyster lawyers.

[TheSaintOKaplans]

@sighcantthinkofaname, I thik you're kind of missing the entire point of Kander and Ebb's satire. It is in fact based on real murders in the 1920s. I think what's really interesting is that to this day, with trials like Casey Anthony's, people still treat the justice system like something that exists for their entertainment.

[xWoodcockx]

music starts 1:05

[onceme2u]

@xWoodcockx God bless you..

[randomriter1]

She is a simply phenomenal actress in this scene.

[softballshorty16517]

I Love This Number Of Chicago

[Altosax1324]

@softballshorty16517 i like mister cellophane

[Angelblade717]

I love the part when the reporter woman is flying through the air :D the marionette concept was BRILLIANT, imo....

[jedi8246]

It's amazing how well this represents how the media works today.

[Schoohness]

@jedi8246 I know right

[electrababe2]

This scene is freakin amazing! Great wardrobe, beautiful make up, fantastic choreography and awesome actors!!! Chicago is just wonderful!!!!!!

[ImJustCoolLikeThatXD]

Who ever choreographed this is a genius!

[codegeassgirl15]

I'm so happy that my class is doing this for our school play :D

[Gracie7cutie]

I <3 THIS MOVIE!

[SingingPeople100]

@ilovebahja Really? You guys were really good haha i wish i was with you guys

[singingintherain1997]

this is the best number in the film, in my opinion, but i can't help but fe completely TERRIFIED that she acts/ looks so much like a doll. it's SCARY.

[TheLiekos]

My life is now complete. Soooo great! :-)

[ilovebahja]

@WHTMITSBM1436 Me Too They Were In My Troope 88050

[WHTMITSBM1436]

I saw this performed by my friend at District 3 competition in FL... they're both EPIC!!!

[sighcantthinkofaname]

@WHTMITSBM1436 District 3 FL? I'm District 5 FL!

[Taylor5499]

I think they both reached for the gun ;)

[charmedluvr33]

so they both reached for the gun??

jk ;)

[divvy1400yam600]

I say if a tart cant shoot the man 'what done her wrong' then feminism still has a long way to go.

[WithATwist19]

This must have taken months to perfect! Either way, its awesome :D

[ChaosControl7920]

I love this song and the dancing, so cool

[SecondSalvo]

@jahangirhussain1 This movie is the film version of a broadway musical that was based off a play written in 1926, also called Chicago, by Maurine Watkins. The musical opened on broadway June 3rd, 1975, so it is impossible that it had any relation to the Casey Anthony trials. And Velma gets off free the same way Roxie does, with the help of Billy Flynn, they just don't go into detail about it.

But it's an amazing show, it's the spring musical at my high school this year and I'm a senior trying o

[jahangirhussain1]

Renee looks like a guy disguised in girlish outfits and makeup lol

[jahangirhussain1]

i don't understand when Richard and Renee open the big black door, another big brown door can be seen behind it and it was closed! weird shit as hell!

[kayleighcolfer]

This song is AMAZING!!!

[jonescalypso]

I love the guy puppets in the background, they did an astounding job! XD

[sighcantthinkofaname]

Oh my god. Can we not bring some overly popularized murder of a little girl into this movie? This movie is fiction. Casey Anthony has nothing to do with it.

[MechaPencil]

@sighcantthinkofaname I don't exactly want to talk about Casey Anthony either but fiction or not, the story is applicable to many real things and intelligent, on topic discussion about the events of the story relating to real events isn't a bad thing!

[swerfal]

@sighcantthinkofaname That's where you're somewhat wrong. All of the murderesses on murder's row are based on real life murder cases during this time period. The hungarian woman was indeed the first woman to be hanged in the city of chicago. So it isn't Casey anthony, but the women were real.

[sighcantthinkofaname]

@swerfal They were based off of true stories, but obiously they are done up some to be made more entertaining. It still has nothing to do with the Anthony trial.

[Ringochan226]

Who is that lady who plays the head reporter that Billy dances with? She looks familiar. Was she in "The Grinch" or something?

[CosmoGirlXOX]

@Ringochan226 Christine Baranski. (: She was in the Grinch, as well as Mamma Mia, and The Bounty Hunter - if you're familiar with either of those.

[jrmetmoi]

@Ringochan226 yeah she was in The Grinch

[julianpatrickr]

best song and performace

[cbonczyk]

I would probably kill to see this show on Broadway.

-I bet you want to know why I shot the bastard..

[SagaciousSilence]

@cbonczyk You would kill to see it, eh?

I'm sure that can be arranged... in Chicago ;D

[cbonczyk]

@SagaciousSilence Perfect!

[ecasagirlieakalefty]

That guys got some serious swag...

[prototype3651]

i was singing this at the end of modern warfare 3

[MyManOWarSmiles]

@prototype3651

Why?



[Telebee319]

The make-up in this scene is perfect. Loved it!!!

[ContagiousRandomness]

saw this play at my school...the number was just incredible. so well choreographed and everyone was so committed. it really made me get engaged in it and have fun!

[Z03G]

her acting is brilliant in this, and the choreography!

[JackNJordProductions]

sometimes modern takes on classics can be a let down but I really do love the movie version! :D

[jahangirhussain1]

i always wonder whether this movie inspired the real life Casey anthony case

[xskullxkissesx]

@jahangirhussain1 not exactly. Casey was about a child and a mother. This movie centers around the crime of shooting a lover because he lied to you and manipulating the press and media into loving you.

[jahangirhussain1]

@xskullxkissesx but didn't casey anthony manipulate the law and got off?

[jahangirhussain1]

@jahangirhussain1 i would like to add that i was hinting at Velma Kelly's case, not Roxie's. Because in the end, Velma happens to have all the charges dropped against her like Casey Anthony did. In Casey Anthony's case, the prosecution said it could not charge Casey because they couldn't find any evidence against her. And in Velma's case too, there was no solid evidence that could link her to the crime she has committed. She tried blame the murders on someone else.

[xskullxkissesx]

@jahangirhussain1 No. There wasn't enough evidence to convict. If they waited to get more evidence, she'd likely be dead now =/

[murielsartre]

::wink!::

[singingintherain1997]

personally, i found this number rather creepy...

[Darthzim950]

This is a fine example to make an incredible musical about a murder.

[joshscorcher]

Art.

[TheKushKanary]

The tragic combination of liquor and jazz...lol.

[VRArt1]

Who can yell gun while drinking milk? xD

[theawkwardspork]

This scene is just really creepy.

[joeperryhotashell]

Rennee Zellweger is a doll!...Literally. LOL

[twiggcrayon]

Holy shit the woman at 0:35 is Leonard's mom on The Big Bang Theory!!

[24iceFrenchToast42]

@twiggcrayon she's also Diane Lockhart on the good wife 

[Born2Game97]

I absolutely love the little Willy and Roxie's faces at 2:20 - 2:35

[imboredmeow]

Crazy squid lady :D 3:26

[91aztecking]

just absolutely fantastic juxtaposition of the media and the "staged" performance of Roxie and Flynn honestly the best part of the film in my opinion... well that and all the parts with Zeta Jones lol

[Agat9571]

Oh yes, oh yes the both... Fantastic! :D

[MOOQUACK223]

We are doing this song in tap xD

[Vascolide]

man... this took a lot of training and practice.... i LOVE this part!!!!! :D

[grayhairs519]

wow. In over a course of maybe a month or so, my comment has reached 164 thumbs up. Fantastic!! That really surprises me :)

[MintehFreshness1]

Awkward boob grab 2:53

[SagaciousSilence]

@MintehFreshness1 It's okay, Roxie has tiny boobs. She's gorgeous, just tiny :)

[jahangirhussain1]

this is the best song in Chicago i agree

[abcd9427]

3:53 i would love to dance like they do and also its the best part

[Lilin1989]

2:31 he looks so cute

[OnEMuMu]

3:08 BEST PART EVER =))))



[TheSickHumanBeing]

The only thing I'm confused about is that, this being the 1920's, wouldn't she have been convicted for admitting that she was involved in drinking alcohol?

[SuperBabybug]

@TheSickHumanBeing I never put prohibition into the picture before! :)

[Gorseheart]

@TheSickHumanBeing They can't be arrested for drinking any alcohol, but for making (stills, moonshine etc), selling(bootlegging) or advertising. :) This means that as long as she didn't make, sell, or steal it, they can only arrest whoever sold it to her at the time they were selling it. :) I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions just ask!!

[TheSickHumanBeing]

@Gorseheart Ahh okay, thanks :). I didn't realize it was like today's drug laws.

[jahangirhussain1]

so funny when Renee tries to grab the spotlight "ladies and gentlemen, I would just like to say how flattered I am that y'all came to see me!" lol

[chickadeewin]

@jahangirhussain1 you mean roxy??

[jahangirhussain1]

@chickadeewin yea, renee's name is roxy in this movie. don't you know that?

[Euphoricglow]

71 people can't tap dance

[Kiya4ever]

Best part is @ 2:21 :]

[carolinagama]

@Kiya4ever 3:04 :p

[chavaalb]

how many takes do you think this would have took?

[xxMissy13]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE... this movie/musical :D This part has been done really well

[MrInterista0810]

buen filme, aunque algo sobrevalorado, lo mejor es su montaje y un par de grandes actuaciones. All that Jazz es el mejor musical llevado al cine.

[komotoko99]

Well at least he was better than Jeff Dunham

[brelfan]

Rene Zellweger was a surprisingly good dummy. She was so good, its hard to notice how good she was because she was mainly in the background. But she was spot on. And for those who go on about how she doesn't have movie star looks, no she doesn't. I don't know how many men don't have movie star looks, but they have pathos, the audience relates them, and they play leading men. Too many pretty, forgettable women in Hollywood, one boring movie after the next year after year.

[mommapuddin]

@brelfan I am surprised to hear people think she doesn't have "movie star" looks. I realize she IS too skinny, way to skinny, but she reminds me so much of Marilyn Monroe in this, her face, mannerisms, etc...it's scary!

[brelfan]

@brelfan Ever watch Family Guy? She's pretty regularly made fun of for looking average. I agree she looks average. But I relate to her. I especially relate when she's fiesty and imperfect. And we watch soooo many forgettable leading ladies. Just isn't as bad for men. The men can be interesting and imperfect. Not the ladies, for some reason. The vast majority will play one lead and be forgotten.

[Peacegirl82323]

stay away from jazz and liquor

[TheBieberluver247]

Im having trouble getting the "oh yes oh yes" part its too fast but catchy. Even when u get the words wrong

[Zspear234]

For some reason, the press as puppets remind me of Richard Harrow from Boardwalk Empire.

[ilovetheatre13]

I was watching Runaway Bride of Lifetime or something and I kept thinking "IT'S BILLY"

[heyyitsjordyn]

this and cell block tango. just fabulous

[starwarssuck]

The history of Amanda Knox... the American Psycho.

[NEDELSKIY1957]

Путин /Ричард Гир/ + Медведев в Государственной Думе

[TheWadeChannel]

Richard Gere has so much class in everything he does.

[TheSorrowfulSoul1]

...when I was little (probably around 8 and a half) I thought this was the fastest song ever...and then I found something faster Mind=Blown....

[shukkipuu]

This is possibly the most catchy song in a musical film I've EVER heard but it's also the creepiest :| ;)

[feetonfire1]

I'm a girl playing the part of Billy in a dance... It's actually incredibly hard!!!!!!!

[eyescandeceive]

as for Richard Gere's singing... pitch correction machines are a wonderful thing.

[dolphinportkey7]

Roxie: "I bet you wanna know why I shot the bastard."

Billy: *Does first facepalm ever*

[Namehereplz98]

thats INSANE how much she acts like a puppet :O

[want2havebrains]

@Namehereplz98 That's the point. Her puppet-like performance symbolizes that everything Roxy is saying to the press is exactly what Billy is TELLING her to say...you know, Like a puppet...a figurehead. And the Press themselves being puppets symbolizes how easily they are eating up this fraud story of an innocent girl "Crushed under the wheel".. Just as billy planned.

[Namehereplz98]

@want2havebrains impressive. I aplaud you for finding that!

[TheSickHumanBeing]

@want2havebrains I wonder why people are surprised at this explanation :)).

[want2havebrains]

@TheSickHumanBeing Well, When you figure -that- out, tell me cause I wanna know also.

[TheSickHumanBeing]

@want2havebrains Read the helpful reply :).

[The1GreatEscape]

@Namehereplz98 well, she IS one, in the movie. lol

[theallseeingoracle]

I love the Mephistophelean aspect of Gere's puppetry with the reporters.

[undeadwarriors]

The juxtaposition in the scene is incredible and makes me question how it is even possible to do something like this on stage

this scene and the Razzle Dazzle one are my favorites, just for the juxtaposition

[undeadwarriors]

The juxtaposition in the scene is incredible and makes me question how it is even possible to do something like this on stage

this scene and the Razzle Dazzle one are my favorites, just for the juxtaposition

[92reactor]

Hey, just a question: Did Renee Zellweger actually do all the puppetry act herself or was it a real puppet?

[TheJustCreative]

@92reactor She really looks like a puppet but it was all her acting:)

[92reactor]

@TheJustCreative I respect her EVEN MORE now!!!!!!

[MetaRam]

@92reactor She did it herself. Insane, I know.

[Kleefable]

I watch this everyday!

[bubblyluv95]

1:00 starts the song

[missycjazzy]

This is my favorite part of the movie...=)

[jahangirhussain1]

John Travolta was approached for the role of Billy Flynn, but he declined and Richard Gere took over. I guess Travolta would've been more funnier to watch, anyways Richard was not that bad either

[jahangirhussain1]

Catherine Zeta-Jones was actually approached to do the role of Roxie, but she wanted to sing the song 'All That Jazz'. That's why she opted for Velma's role rather than Roxie's. lol

[chelmoekilljoy]

@jahangirhussain1 Catherine is perfect for Velma. It's good she wanted to sing that song lol

[Kimokeo15]

This is definitely one of the best stage-to-film adaptations of any musical. They didn't just re-create the stage version in front of a camera, they re-invisioned it.

[joaobvoliveira]

see on my videos a Equi Shalom- Musical Chicago one off the bests Chicago independent show ever!!

[ABentzBlazeA]

the interpretation, the staging, the music, the performance, this is true musical theatre.

[bricrazyof99]

we both reach for the gun that is the best song and they have a movie to this two

[Rafiel92]

amo esa cancion y el video Renne

[YunKa94]

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes we both

Oh yes we both

Oh yes, we both

reached for

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

Oh yes, we both reached for

the gun

For the gun. :)

[ImNonk1]

@YunKa94 Lol I memorized that

[johndavidryan]

miss sunshine at 4:24 hahahahahahaha

[fluffykittyboy1]

Richard Gere is hot :D

[8887266]

Christine Baranski!

All I can think of is the grinch whenever i see her :)

[lilmisstashaxX]

@8887266 Oh My God! Thank you - you finally made it click for me. I knew I recognised her but I didn't know where from XD

[grayhairs519]

This is probably my favorite bit in Chicago. Just the choreography, the make-up, the acting, the singing, just oozes epicness!! Richard's not a bad singer, I might add. This is my second favorite musical, Rocky Horror is my fav.
