I love this film. It’s a complete indictment of the entertainment industry and how the purity of creative expression is chewed up and spat out by the corporate machine
It's both amazing the subtlety and disheartening the reality of this scene. Swan modulates Winslow's voice to sound like his own, calling it perfect. The symbolism is self evident
I saw this film for the first time recently and it amazed me especially this scene. With Paul Williams as Swan in this scene, Swan fixing Winslow's voice to sound like him (one could guess Swan would sound like Paul Williams singing) just feels like a beautifully tragic moment - not only did Winslow literally and figuratively lose his voice but even when he gets it back and can sing, it's Swan's singing voice, further replacing more and more of Winslow's identity. I don't know if that was an intended takeaway but it felt really cutting and got to me thinking about it.
@@halyomorpha oh there's no doubt in my mind that it was bc bill sings faust the first time. another detail that always gets me is the black spot on winslow's cheek being the death records logo :(
This has been on repeat all day. Mentally I was very close to reaching a dark place. And I still might. But this clip is the only thing to slow that process & soothe the inner demon. Sounds like a depressed alien trying to find his voice. And I always loved pianos. Fav instrument
This scene is sooooo strong ! It's the only good deed that Swan did and it's the most beautiful things ever : restored a singer voice, it's a kind of rebirth.
If you listen to the voice though. Swan doesn't actually restore Winslow's singing voice to how it was in the beggining of the movie, he gives him a brand new singing voice based on his own.
@@eldonte843 To be fair, this technology probably had a lot of input coming from Swan's music. Swan himself probably didn't even have a recording of Winslow's original voice.
Insanely symbolic, Swan recreates Winslow in his own image like god would but just cements his role as the devil in the story obviously connecting to Faust.
except its not as a good deed, notice how he interrupts Right as the song reaches climax Before the chord progression can resolve, and Unplugs him, to contrast the singing voice to the speaking voice. Hes manipulating winslow just as he had all his other stars, making sure he Knows he'll be Nothing without Swan.
Fun Fact: The singing voice of The Phantom is actually Paul Williams, who is the guy adjusting the sound on this clip. He not only wrote the soundtrack for this movie but a number of hits, including "Rainbow Connection." Paul Williams is a legend too few people know about. ✌🏽
I discovered this when I was looking at the Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber and have seen people consider Winslow one of the Phantoms, and Ngl i dig it
i was so disappointed that the original sounded so bland and generic 70s song i just really like this version of faust SO much better idk if i can't explain it right
i was gonna say the song and how it is distorted in this scene remind me of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories, but I realized I had it backwards, Daft Punk just based the album off of this era of music and culture, and were probably influenced by this film in more ways than one.

Whenever I'm listening to something good and I go to turn it up I go "Dolbies."
I love how even after every suffering Winslow has been put through before this, he still loses himself to playing his music

Damn really?
Yes it is true

the fact that this is paul williams singing and not bill finley absolutely crushes me every time i watch it

Damn, femto is one hell of a singer
You did not-
GRIFFIIIIIITH!
I like to imagine this as another behind the scenes outtake since Griffith sings in the 1997 blooper reel
it is criminal that this is not on the soundtrack
there is a version but it isnt just the piano only. The dream part is the part that always sticks in my head
@@shadowpillar2483 yeah i do love the piano version but i would've LOVED to hear a full version of this one.
"Phoenix"! This film is the genuine interpretation of a cult classic.
there is a tremendous amount of pain in this performance. It moves me so deeply every time I listen to it

It not even just based on Swans, its just is Swans voice, then Swans says perfect here 1:29.

Also the music of Bugsy Malone
He was also the voice of the Penguin in the Batman Animated Series.
@@kadejito1 Okay that is awesome. I did not know that
I always thought it was so ironic how swans actor wrote all the music yet hes the one that steals the music in the movie.
and don’t forget the legendary “We’ve Only Just Begun”, brought to life by Carol King (and The Carpenters)!
The movie of my life. I Saw it more than 13 Times in a Paris cinema when i was a arts student,
in the 80n"s then on dvd
This scene is so hypnotic
Swan: Filters. Dolbys. Perfect.
This scene is so estetically and poetically perfect.
This is one of the coolest scenes I've ever seen in a movie
Griffith after the eclipse
That is the origin of Phantom Of The Paradise!
Actually my favorite video on RUclips
This was the one of the first movies i saw in an american movie theater in 1974 the other the posiedon adventure
.both had huge impacts on me
Fuck i love this movie
One Summer in the mid-90s this was on every day on Showtime. I haven't seen it since, but it all came back with this clip.
Griffith !!!!!!

This part kills me omg. I love this movie. It’s painfully underrated.

PERFECT.
I will never forget this film
Faust is still there, he's living in France under the name KingJu.
Awsome!

@@TheWayOfDesert Way.
@@jasminnemcdonald94AThats the point of the movie 😂😂
1:47

Daft Punk worked with Paul Williams. Hes featured on several tracks of theirs iirc
Fuck i know he's the godamn devil, but Swan's smile at 1:26 is so cute c'mon
