1:18 I read the script for this movie. They described Scott watching Tina in this scene as being like the boy in 'The Emperor's New Clothes' - "and realises, there's nothing there." And that he and Fran dance the rumba the way it's supposed to be danced.
Both actors have the most amazing unexpected electric chemistry with one another, their eye's really tell the love story with out saying lots of dialogue . So glad they cast this wonderful talented pair together. One of my most favourite films of all time. Full of longing , hope and love . And great dancing.
True! As many fans "Dirty Dancing" might have. "Strictly Ballroom" strikes another tune, a more honest one. Tara Morice is a woman and the Francesca she plays believes in what she does. "Baby" was unnerving in many ways. The chemistry between Fran and Scott the two protagonists has more authenticity.
@@NoldorianElf So true! I find more genuine chemistry between them than I have for Dirty Dancing which to be honest I find slightly overrated (sorry couldn't actually like Jennifer Grey in it).
Yesss i want to find more movies like this one in the sense that the guy if cute 😅 that he has chemistry with the girl and that the movie isnt so mainstream
She’s complimenting Scott’s partner because she knows how good Tina is she seen Tina dance and she realizes she’s not a professional unlike them that’s why he needs to be dancing with Tina not her Tina can do things that Fran can’t
Love how Fran and Scott are the only ones wearing their own everyday but best clothes not their dancing costumes and they have not stage makeup on. That's just themselves stealing a private moment together and dancing for themselves.
I also love how Fran transforms herself in the movie. Clothes that fit better, half up and down hair. The mum did try and give her a make over but it didn't look good on her so she retained her own self
This has got to be the most romanticly, heart achingly beautiful dance in cinema history, but please feel free to present other examples as good or better.
@@eadlynjune true! I was only nine the first time I saw this movie and this particular scene left a big impact on me. Almost 2 decades later all the movies in his Red Curtain Trilogy were my ultimate faves, I've lost count the number of times I've rewatched those beautiful, artsy films esp Strictly Ballroom. Baz Luhrmann is such a genius in making these romantic, heart-rending scenes in his films.
@@christykelly1 It's really good but it took me a bit to adjust to Baz's overly extravagant editing style. Sometimes it felt over the top but overall still enjoyed the movie. Especially Austin Butler's portrayal of Elvis
My favorite part of the movie, too, next to him seeing real pasa double for the first time. This scene reminds me of all that was wonderful in the golden age of song and dance films with an extra dash of chemistry. This scene always gives me good goosebumps.
I always LOVED this awesome movie and this, by far, was my favorite scene. And having dearly departed Doris Day sultry singing "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" is the total cherry 🍒 on the cake of my day!!! 👍 😀😍🤩☺😃
Only on the presumption of a natural gaze though. No thieves or black magicians allowed. I miss nature. There is nothing natural about the devil. His spirit makes me shudder and he’s fostered children with third eyes. There is nothing natural about that and the case simply cannot be argued. He is the god of Jimmy Saville and Epstein Island 🏝 Nothing of nature in this either. He is not my God. Jesus is. The first True Man and of people do not submit to Truth they’re on a path to unnatural abominations ….
No matter how popular this movie once was (I don’t really know) but no matter what I think it was under-rated. Its been one of my favorite movies since I first saw it around 1995. I absolutely love this scene. Its all in the eyes 👀...and the song...🎶 so well done 👏 Fun fact: Did you know Fran (Tara Morice) sings “Time after Time” in this movie?!
Yes! Watched this with my mum when o was a little girl in the 90s and we always loved her version I’ve Cyndis (no offence to Cyndi as it’s a good version just prefer Taras’)
Nooo wayyyy... wow! No wonder why I love that version more than ALL the others. That version in 'Strictly Ballroom' steered me towards listening to everything by Cyndi Lauper. I never knew it was Tara Morice. Her version encapsulates the film's themes so perfectly. Awwwh that's amazing.💖
This scene is hotter than any sex scene in any movie. The song is perfectly chosen and you can see they are not growing closer cause they are good dancers but because they are falling in love with each other. You can feel raw tension between them and that is what allows them to be as flawless as they are. The direction, acting and editing are all on point! The perfect example of show don’t tell. Baz this may be your best, and incredible for it being your first movie.
love this movie. i took a course on following your truth and we watched this movie. but i had loved it for years. i think it would be such a great play!!!
A wonderful WONDERFUL movie! Even my 16 yr old son that thinks Indiana Jones, the original ghostbusters and star wars are all over rated loved this movie.
One of my Aussie faves to watch❤ i always feel sense of nostalgia looking at areas of Sydney as it used to be...especially Marrickville where the dance studio is. My parents met in Marrickville during the late 80s. Oh the good old days😂
Oh my goodness I never realized that! Thanks for pointing that out! While we’re at it I’ll point out that in another scene of this movie when they are dancing on the roof thats actually Fran singing “Time after time” (real name Tara Morice) not Cyndi Lauper! I watched that scene in a whole new light knowing it’s actually Fran singing, she has a pretty voice! I like it even better than Cyndi Lauper’s version!
Se alguém tiver esse filme Stricty Ballroom por favor envie para mim, pois eu amo de paixão esse filme, más não consigo assistir ele todo é nem dublado
Кто знает где сейчас Пол Меркурио и Тара Морис? Им под 60 лет наверное.... 32 года назад снятый фильм. Теперь я частенько смотрю в интр. ❤❤❤❤😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊😊❤❤
who wrote this bloody screenplay? was it baz luhrmann? its so good - gotta be based on a greek myth or something. he appropriated Romeo and Juliet better than anyone
User yeah he’s so dreamy The only thing is, if I were her, I’d be very apprehensive maybe even walk out because I know I don’t fit the bill his partner does. I’m so sad for Fran her heart aches an she wishes she could be what Scott wants or needs to be for her to be to dance with him but watching the other couple on stage, she realizes he’s a professional she’s not.. she could never do some of the things that’s expected of her- and when she’s told that Scott’s dancing with his previous partner, she’s devastated, but on the same note, she understands why… after watching that couple the woman that he’s going to dance with is a professional as well. When Scott approaches her she tells him you know about how she could never do some of the things that his previous partner can do and he says to her he swears he didn’t know anything about it, he also tells her he’s been training since he was 6 for this but as Scott watches his competition and he hasn’t gone on yet, he realizes Fran has more of a heart, and is genuine and sweet, rather than his partner, who is in it for the competition and Scott really doesn’t matter to her, but Fran does care an secretly is in love with him(but I think he knows anyway.. even before they were dancing together) and then he pulled her aside and dances with her sort of in a way showing her that all that extra fancy stuff doesn’t really matter it’s just for a show …and he’s basically showing her you know I love you I’d rather be dancing with you….
Still one of the most romantic scenes ever. I haven't watched this movie in years. It's due a re-watch. It's a timeless classic.
Agree!

I love this song too :)
The way Fran is being a good sport about it all, even complimenting Tina, breaks my heart.
She's so sweet and gracious even though she's clearly heartbroken.

The only dances in movies to rival this one are Baz Luhmmans own movies. I'm not saying they are better, but I am saying only he can defeat himself.
I mean...Maria vontrap and gaylord...but like they are both so good
Yes I love this movie...and I especially like that it has an unusual pairing.

Jha0601 Oh I boy do I know! He’s truly the best at what he does!
I love the choice of the shot between the open stage and backstage separated by the curtain. Great symbolism 👏
i could watch this scene over and over again. the way they look at each other, their dancing, along with the music...soooo good!
I DID watch it over and over again, at least a million times!
To be a low budget film, I never get tired of watching this movie. I loved ballroom dancing, I just got old and needed a kidney transplant.
same! it just goes to show you that you don't need an $$$$ budget to produce a great movie.
This movie was so well thought out! The camera angles, shots, the lighting, the music. Baz really outdid himself here.
Kinda wish he kept this more naturalistic film style for Elvis.
@@eddieperez8111 I haven’t seen Elvis yet, is it a good movie?
@@christykelly1 It's really good but it took me a bit to adjust to Baz's overly extravagant editing style. Sometimes it felt over the top but overall still enjoyed the movie. Especially Austin Butler's portrayal of Elvis
It’s Baz’s best movie by far in my opinion. Every frame, every line is perfection. And the casting!! 💯💯😘
This movie reminds me that I'll always struggle with the bogo pogo
Haha!
The bogo pogo is not an easy dance to master.
The most romantic scene in cinema...
JESUS WAYNE!
😂
I love the part at 2:02 where he seems to leave the camera but then rounds back to guide her absolutely destroys my romantic heart
My favorite part of the movie, too, next to him seeing real pasa double for the first time. This scene reminds me of all that was wonderful in the golden age of song and dance films with an extra dash of chemistry. This scene always gives me good goosebumps.
"It's the inconceivable sight of Scott dancing with Fran!" Great line.
Fran endears herself to him even more with her sincere kind heart.
If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it is yours. If she acted bratty about it, she wouldn't be so sweet and endearing
There are lots of great movies with dancing, but there will never be better *ballroom* dancing film.
I always LOVED this awesome movie and this, by far, was my favorite scene. And having dearly departed Doris Day sultry singing "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps" is the total cherry 🍒 on the cake of my day!!! 👍 😀😍🤩☺😃
I got teary-eyed when I saw this at the cinema decades ago. I just got teary-eyed now. Such a gorgeously romantic moment of a brilliant little movie
“A Bird of the Air” is about some thing completely different, but also a hidden treasure.
beautiful. It's in the eyes. Look at each other and follow each others rhythm. Love this scene.
SOOO romantic ! I could watch this over and over..
So sweet. It so depends on not being in a surveillance state though…
LOVE Fran's dress. She's stunning in it
my favourite part of the movie!
Love the end ... when he slides in and she‘s in this stunning red dress 😍
R.I.P. Doris Day--you really made this scene memorable.
When I’m out of sorts, this makes it better.
His eyes 😍
This scene lives in my head rent free 🥺
This is one of my favorite dance scenes in this movie!
I love this scene and dance, it reminds me of that first intimate couple dance in the sound of music
Yeah, you're right!
They could NOT have chosen a BETTER song if they tried! 😎
Absolutely one of the best movies in cinematic history. Especially the pathos....and the ending! OH the ending!
Paul why are you so extremely handsome in this movie???oh gosh...
I am totally agree with you Ελένη

If someone looked at me like that, I'd melt 😭
This is my favorite scene in the movie! But I absolutely love the part where the song says "perhaps, perhaps, perhaps"
That's a really beautiful and exciting film.
I have watched this movie about 7 times. One of my favourites of all time.
Same!
How can 1 movie have so many magical moments?
A beautiful moment. Sensual and elegant.
Love this scene. Tender. Music, dance, human beings melding together.
RIP Doris Day. I love this movie and her song.
I love this scene!
Those hips though. Sway Scott!🕺🏻
3:38 when she looks up at him after falling, with such vulnerability and says in a tiny voice, "sorry" :'(
Never caught that before, she says it so quietly
Gosh i remember studying this movie back in school 20 years ago.. Sweet memories ❤️
A very romantic scene!
I've watch this over 50 times 🙌
Oh! it is so romantic !!

He does not dance,
he smolders.
Ohhh, the very end of the final dance. He does do that very well.
😂 so true!🔥
Oh YES!
BEAUTIFUL MOVIE !!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇭🇺
love this movie. i took a course on following your truth and we watched this movie. but i had loved it for years. i think it would be such a great play!!!
it started as a play and there's been a really great musical in london (sadly didn't last too long - they priced the tickets way too high)
I saw the play in Melbourne and it was absolutely magical
This was always my favorite scene in this movie.
She believes in him and his steps!!! I'd like to believe in man like Fran does!
Love this movie so much
Always good to look at, beautiful
LOVE THEM
"A life lived in fear is a life half-lived".
Minha parte preferida do filme... os olhares deles 😍😍
A wonderful WONDERFUL movie! Even my 16 yr old son that thinks Indiana Jones, the original ghostbusters and star wars are all over rated loved this movie.
My favorite scene in the whole amazing movie.
Beautiful movie
Don't dance for the competition. Dance for your heart!♥
Wonderful movie! :-)
One of my Aussie faves to watch❤ i always feel sense of nostalgia looking at areas of Sydney as it used to be...especially Marrickville where the dance studio is. My parents met in Marrickville during the late 80s. Oh the good old days😂

Frank has Vivien Leiigh qualities, especially Gone with the wind.
It’s Mrs Raine from Dance Academy!!
