Swingdance in Swing Kids, part2

[richardmbowman]

I love this flick. The music, the dancing, the excitement of it all. The enthusiasm of the kids and their true love of swing. And then, There's the story. The rejection of Nazism and the kids' refusal to conform. And the price many of them pay. Tragic. Interesting. Exciting. Moving. A very good movie. And yes trinitymike, your grandparents are officially awesome. Swingheil!

[MrSandman230]

[inukirby992]

This sounds very close to Benny Goodman's 'Swingtime in the Rockies'...

[spunkysk8er1997]

What song is this please?

[tzikeh]

It's "Shout and Feel It" -- I think it's the Benny Goodman recording, with the cast doing the "shout and feel it!" over the soundtrack.

[switchfooter101]

omgosh!! LOVE the dancing in this movie!! :) And who knew Christian Bale could dance:) That's so frickin awesome.

[ladysadee]

@switchfooter101

Yes, yes yes! Christian Bale has proved beyond a doubt that he can do just about anything! so much talent . I wish I could dance like that! in those days the dance floor was full of amazing dancers.

[Tuilelen]

@ladysadee Well, it probably helps that they hired dancers to swing in this movie...

[ruheksbo]

[tortellini76]

Shout and feel it....Count Basie

[gaawn]

Christian Bale looks like Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz when he dances, and RSL is so precise. They look cool together.

[trinitymike]

@jevrej1977 No, My Opa died at Treblinka...he fell out of a Guard Tower....lol....but seriously....no....they died a few years ago.

[crifoter69]

Interesting how this movie was never on television. Is it bad in 21st century america to criticize friggin NAZIS?!?

[hit004541]

no why would it? people critizise nazis all the time stupid

[missliss312a]

I think that's why he/she said it was interesting that it wasn't on TV. It could be the whole Kenneth Branagh mess.

[Phasoulcka]

You know what is funny? Thisd is one of my favourite films, I live in Poland and they did air it on our television. Great film, I fell in  love with swing music thanks to it. :D

[raieven]

Its so hot when they dance together.

[morguiderhund]

I COMPLETELY AGREE.

[monkeyorgorilla]

Thanks. I didn't know.

[sassyproductionz]

Thomas Berger!

"Ooh, shikes patrol!"

-faints-

Haha.

Didn't Christian Bale play that part so well?

[hench1985]

christian bale was excellent. He played both nazi/good swing kid perfectly. Great actor. FUTURE OSCAR WINNER

[crazylazymoe]

Christian Bale is delicious.

[monkeyorgorilla]

It's scheiss patrol. Does anyone know what 'scheiss' means?

[Fadensonnen]

"Scheiss" means "shit" or "shitty".

[bmr21091970]

geetz to dance like this, that´d be it... very very good film btw, seems as if the us sometimes understood a bit more about germany than just the bad nazi story...

[sassyproductionz]
