Rufus Wainwright in the Aviator

[bixlives]

The band on the soundtrack is Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks and they play at Sofia's [221 W.46th St NYC] every Monday and Tuesday...come join the 1920s party !!

[TomthatiscalledTom]

Tom and Daisy Buchanan were there, just out of sight

[Henry92RLC]

@gottalavmanga It's near the beginning when Howard Hughes is making Hells Angels.

[Billcoxyz1956]

I wasn't alive in the Hollywood of the 1930s but I really don't think Wainwright would have been singing in the Grove then - I mean no disprespect but his voice wouldn't have been vogue and he's waaay too light in the loafers stylistically for the period

[dewhistle]

@Billcoxyz1956 I dunno... this wasn't that far from when Rudy Vallee sang all those high-pitched tunes with the megaphone. It might have even been at the same time (I'm no expert on Rudy Vallee). And Cole Porter was pretty big around this time, or in the process of being so. There were a lot of lisping closeted musical types back in the day. My only criticism is that he should sing, if anything, even MORE over the top and flamboyant. They thought they were invincible before the crash.

[GottaLavManga]

what scene is this?

[smichelle65]

I love that Martin Scorsese filmed this segment using the color photography available in the 1920s--namely two-strip Technicolor. Everything taking place in the 20s-early 30s is in shades of red and blue (even the whites are very pale blues). When it moves into the late 30s-40s, it becomes the full 3-strip, over-saturated Technicolor.

Bad ASS Movie! MAHALO 2 YA!

[ian3754]

i love this scene

[dakelhdenes]

I Love This Movie Thanks For The Upload !!!

[bobbobato]

The music is so authentic.

Much more authentic than in most modern films set in the 1920s.

[silvershields]

i cant BELIEVE i didnt know he did this!!!

[seekingsnavely]

I was DEFINITELY born in the wrong decade!!

THIS looks right up my alley!!

Damn....what Id give to be able to go back to those days and live it up like they did!

[SofondaDildos]

it's so bad quality that I can't even see his face!

[BetsySteinerSchool]

@SofondaDildos um, yes, me either

[celur20]

i love that boy !!!

[ChrisCrockerTime]

the way they do that gradual light up of the entire venue is surreal and perfect - more of the film should have been shot that way - they took too realistic of an approach it think, and also miscast the film with dicaprio even though he worked hard he isn't howard hughes.

[SteveAndrewLangford]

Don't know why people are rating your comment negatively. You are critiquing, not bashing.

@ People who rated and who think of rating it negatively, you really have no footing on rating it as such. If Chris would have said, also miscast the film with dicaprio even though he worked hard he sucks and is a horrible actor, then you can negatively rate him.

All Chris is trying to express is his belief that DiCaprio wasn't the image/person to portray Hughes.

At the first part Chris, I agree entirely!

[seekingsnavely]

I would give ANYTHING to be able to have lived back then and been extremely rich and take in the club life like this!!

I don't care what anybody says...they KNEW how to party back then!!

This is my MOST favorite scene from the movie...this clip isn't all that great, but it is FANTASTIC to watch in the movie!

[deinvater666]

i COMPLETLY agree with u!!!! your opinon is exactly as mine :P seems to be soulmates ;)

[doddledont]

just where is he putting his fingertips?

[kristopaivinen]

This has nothing on the American in Paris version.

[EdwinS1994]

[rockfrog2]

[Lintelomiel]

I keep watching this for the way he slides up to the microphone. :) If that isn't a cool entrance, I don't know what is. *loves on Rufus*

[Rosietherabbit]

[BackwoodPictures]

Is that true? I never knew that. I know Martha Wainwright sings in the film as well.

[randomortonswives]

Why Leonardo Dicaprio cannot be edited out completely from this footage?

[randomlettersand5]

I said that about the whole movie :p

[EmilyAuclair]

Awesome! And he is so cute too! His voice sounds amazing and this is a well directed scene.

[omartorres123]

The song 'Peach Trees' is better. He sings way better in that song.

[hep2jive]

[hep2jive]

[bachelorette87]

[MuseLitTheFuse]

GAAAAA! I gotta see this movie just because Rufus sings in it! Oh! How ethereal! How angelic....ah...

[chezchezlefart]

He did a good job of making his voice actually sound like it was from that era!

[constah]

he didnt really change anything, thats what he always sounds like--wonderful.

[bachelorette87]

honey, that's just the way he sounds. He's can do anything
