UNA IDEA BRILLANTE.ESTA ESCENA ES IMPRESIONANTE!

[madisonilavsky]

i think it was this movie that my uncle robert was an extra in the background,but i didnt find him. that's odd...

[francescasidley]

this scene is a flash mob

[FirstKerati]

How could anyone not like this movie?!! This is my favorite movie out of all the movies I've ever watched. I can watch this movie over and over again and never get tired of it. It was brilliantly acted and directed. Just a rare gem of a movie.

[s6u6r6f6]

isnt this one of Richard Strauss's waltzs? It sounds like Der Rosenkavalier

[Motorskallen]

One of the best scenes in the movie in a scense. No special effects, no special acting skills required... just Rob walking through a crowd of dancing people. Pure simplicity makes some of the most beautiful scenes. Pure art!

[tsamifua]

the first "Flash Mob".  i wonder if someone got the idea from this?

[maistortrichko]

This movie made me cry :( Its one of the best movies ever to exist

[maricristinacastel]

Adoro esta escena, cuántas veces no se siente uno en una pista de baile en medio de un tumulto de gente, o tan solo siguiendo con la mirada a alguien entre la multitud!? Es Hermosa, a veces escenas como éstas me hacen pensar en que el cine en sí mismos, si bien no va a cambiar el mundo, por lo menos como herramienta puede llegar a hacer evidente la mágia que hay en él.

[geowyn]

This is one of the most magical scenes in film history

[stellastey]

pure cinematic glory.

Halo, "My life is divinely planned"! I will always remember this highly moving experience. I danced and was a stand in "ALL NIGHT LONG" at Grand Central Station in N.Y. I'm guessing, Robin Wiliams influenced today because both of my TV Angel programs are completely "Unscripted" and real tele-vision journeys through AngelsAtGodCentralStation reflections of One World, One Dream, In the Spirit of Unity.

WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THE SONG???

[foma42]

get the soundtrack.. believe the title is "grand central waltz"

[knotfest]

Perfect smaltz. Love the incongruous dance pairs, esp. the two nuns. And the choice of Fenton's music. Heartbreaking film, shedeth tears, my lovelies. Dortheysantapezz, are you nuts or nuts.

[dortheysantapezz]

This is a finely tuned subtle magic in the story, a favorite of his work.

I came across this writing by Deleuze from "Cinema 2" and I thought about this moment and how perfectly this passage fits.

[dortheysantapezz]

The new Burelesque no longer originates in an output of energy by the character, who spreads and grows as before. It arises from the fact that the character places himself (involuntarily) on an energy band which carries him along and which is percisely the movement of the world, a new way of dancing, of modulating: the low frequency wave action takes place of heavy duty mechanics and full blowness of gestures.

- from a chapter about dream and dance used as a portal to enter another world.

[erniemajor]

This was a wonderful quotation! so glad that you thought fit to share it :) perhaps 'minimalism' is also another word for :''a new way of dancing, of modulating: the low frequency wave action takes place of heavy duty mechanics''.?

[gogonikko]

Magical!

[linchestiano]

sin género de dudas una excelente escena dentro de una obra maestra...

[DonaldMcKinney]

Quite simply, the best scene Terry Gilliam has ever directed.

[sweettrt]

How does a person direct such a brilliant peice of pop culture? talent like that must be sent from the heavens

great flick I never tire of it and I am amazed how few have seen it

[linaki]

Hi 27Jules72!

This is "The Grand Central Waltz" by George Fenton

[27Jules72]

hi, does anyone know what this piece of music is called?

[ShleeJay]

I think it is done by gershwin but I don't know the title of it.

[Salisbury61]

perfect !

[cristinasettanta]

Trovo Terry Gilliam un genio creativo senza pari.Questa sua opera e questa scena in particolare sono intrise di poesia pura, di una magia descrittiva che tocca corde interiori, che lascia il Cuore cavalcare le fantasie che custodisce all'interno.E' una esaltazione della vita che si allontana dal grigiore inespressivo e ordinario della massa, che tende tutta verso un pessimismo di base.

Comparto tu comentario. Desde Bs As, un abrazo

There is nothing like a waltz to transport you to another world and this scene in The Fisher King does just that. The first time I visited Grand Central Station and walked into the main concourse, I fully expected (in my fantasy ridden mind) for the lights to start and everyone to break in to the waltz...alas, although it was moving being there, I saw no dancing.

Love this movie, Terry Gilliam is the best!

See Brazil if you haven't yet!

[d4ysleeper]

I like the detail of the two sisters dancing together :)

[nsesenior]

Ahora me arrepiento pero cuando hice novillos alos trece años ponia en mi cas esta escena una y otra vez en el video. Aún así es una preciosa escena.

[DonaldMcKinney]

Probabily the most perfect scene Terry Gilliam has directed in his entire career. His first Hollywood film, so he went with something grand and epic, in a rather small film.

[bladerunner19]

This wonderful scene has been inspired by the waltz scene in Federico Fellini's "La voce della luna" ("The voice of the moon"). "The fisher king"'s director Terry Gilliam considers Federico Fellini one of his masters.

[shaxan]

yeah, absolutely amazing!

[csakizli]

amazing scene
