I really like that they are portraying the 1950s Hollywood studios owning everything, like even the actors' private lives and image, because that was common.
Nobody is going to comment on Scarllet's performance? She was so funny!! In a very subtle inteligent way xD At the same time she's being this ethereal mermaid creature while the 50's movie is being filmed, she still has these diva mundane really funny maneirisms! People get mesmerized by her beauty, but she's also very sensible and witty xD
Why cannot one find a good performer in a movie for the masses? Or even a quality performance in a less quality movie? To me that is a logical fallacy. * You have so many examples: Sir Ian McKellen (Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre of Great Britain), Dame Judi Dench (also having done Shakespeare in theatre), Adam Driver, Tom Hiddleston (studied in Cambridge and Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and does reading literature sessians , such as Jonh le Carré, Tolstoy Shakespeare..), Michael Fassbender, or less known mainstream actors but who gave their great contribution like Catherine McCormack... And I don't know of course all instances... If that is your attempt to help someone to get an alternative better education, the little surliness embedded in it, is not encouraging at all of and makes it fail miserably. Have a good and happier day please. *Or even a good performance in a actor that may or may not be one's favorite?
"How am I? Wet." She doesn't really look wet in that scene though. In fact, she didn't look wet when coming out of the water. ...I'm beginning to question a lot of things right now.
and that's how they filmed the Esther Williams scene they took ispiration of (look for "Millior Dollar Mermaid" on youtube, it makes the Scarlett Johansson scene looks minimal compared to it)
Rewind shot. It's an old special effects trick they often used in "aquatics" of that era, where they would shoot the actress going into the water, and then rewind it to make it look like she's rising magically out of the water completely dry and composed. Though how they managed to shoot such a scene on a live set is a mystery that can only be explained as parody.
1:11 is brilliant in its simplicity. Reversed footage is normally obvious, but somehow the waves look natural and nothing gives it away. You sense something’s off, but it’s like a good magic trick. Once it’s explained you can’t unsee it, but you now respect its simplicity and the skill to do it well. Sadly today you usually just assume everything is CGI, instead of thinking “how did they do that?” and engaging your imagination.
This is Oscar worthy playing. She is so talented! Beautiful, grossing totally and her acting!!! Here she created amazing piece !small role but a diament!!So rough, thick like muck woman hahaha the public loves her and imagine a gifted warm artful actress- but behind the camera turns out it is rough, charmless, factory worker hehe
Really wish the film had gotten a couple decent shots of her in her full mermaid tail. Costumer must have head-desked when they saw their lovely design didn't get displayed well in the movie.
@@aleciathomas5703 I am aware. Those are some of the others tbh. Also her aquabatics and such. Million dollar mermaid is an undisputed number one. But this video is still A tier.
@@gerarddip no for sure it is. A lot of people have never heard of Esther I’m glad you have I love this film and the Cohens and how it paid homage. I saw it on opening weekend. Scarlett is very talented herself for sure
Bubbles Smubbles. I came out of a coma to see this. (almost, really) It was such a pleasure. Gorgeous to look at, and just great fun. I needed this film. I think my favorite scene was the Chinese restaurant. Beautiful. Brolin and that hair were perfection. Big fan of Intolerable Cruelty, The Coca Cola Kid, The Good Thief, Inherent Vice, and all things shining.
Anyone else thinks this the representation of the moment she got pregnant (her ovum -the swimmer's circle- being fertilized -her as a mermaid/spermatozoon-)? and her angry reaction with the "DAMMIT!" represents the moment she realized she got pregnant after that unprotected intercourse. LOL!!!
This inept pastiche of an Esther Williams aquamusical only underlines the brilliant originality of the real thing, and the magnificent and beautiful athleticism of the woman who created and personified it.
I may be male, but I would LOVE to wear Scarlett Johanssons's mermaid costume and tiara! If I got the opportunity to buy that mermaid costume, I would immediately take it!
At the beginning she represents Venus, goddess if love, whole water ballet scene is the intercourse leading to pregnancy pulling in higher octave cyrrents of Venys which is Neptube so she comes up with the Trident, but underneath it all she is the Moon, unrefined archytype 'mother', she is wearing green because she r😮epresents the heart chakra 'pure love', hebce the last line about her innocence. Soundtrack is Offenbach's Barcarolle, Venetian gondelier style of music (her associations with the mafia-represents sky objects foreign to this solar system).
I really like that they are portraying the 1950s Hollywood studios owning everything, like even the actors' private lives and image, because that was common.
Jordon Veatch Really?
warren byrne look up Judy garland and all the shit she went through
Jordon Veatch Yes,like Adrianna Caselotti Snow White's voice actress could appear in anymore /any other movies.
It still happens to an extent but nowhere near the level of back then
It was their contracts. Basically didn't know better. But you want to work don't cha?
Scarlett should do more comedies. She’s so funny when she gets in the zone
Especially in a Coen Brothers’ comedy
Vince was not minor!
lol i love how she actually hits him with the crown from across the room
She Frisbee'd That Crown Like a PRO! 😜
And left handed!
@@jeffreymeehan3116 she is left handed 😅
what a performance! I love that overly saccharine smile and the contrast with how she talks, sits, and smokes.
That's exactly what I was thinking. She still can pull that innocent teenager smile out of mothballs. Perfect casting.
And she was so close to finishing that scene....
*”The public loves you because they know how innocent you are.” “That’s true.”* As she sits there hauling on a cigarette, pregnant, and unmarried.
Yes, by today's standards this would be considered trashy behavior.
And not knowing who the father is... 🤭
@@mudrose3486 that too
You conservatives bitching about "Pregnant and unmarried".
@@alexscriabin But it's the era and the joke. Maybe chill.
Crazy to think those water ballet movies were a whole sub genre back then!
"One marriage was to a minor mob figure..."
"Vince was not minuh!"
when i heard minor mob figure i thought of Vincent mad dogg
i love scarlett in this film and i love her accent in that film. i love the way she says "hey... buddy!" i would pay good money to have her talk like.
thevoid99 watch her with a Jersey accent in Don John
That's just her accent. She's from the only state that matters :)
@@eugeniawong249 i have. i've seen a lot of her films.
I could listen to her pronounce fishass all day.
"Awright...scram!"
"Damnit!"
And She Frisbees That Tiara Like a Champ!
Yes Scarlett has a beautiful face, but I love that fact that nobody’s talking about her toned back GOALS
Every person in this planet knows Scarlett johansson
I'd last like 1O hours looking at that

Ha ha. Witty? Taste is not debatable. You need an educated society first, not the dumbest down masses of today.

Outstanding acting. Very much into character
Love this film. Underated. Every performance is hilarious
The buffering circle fits perfectly round the wash at the beginning.
“Vince was not minor” dead 😂
When I first saw this I thought it was a new trailer for aquaman
😂
Bedazzled Aquaman 😂
AquaWidow
Scarlett is so Good in this role.
Funny. "Scram!" in that rapid vintage accent. .. 👍
Scarlett Johansson as a mermaid.
Mindy from SpongeBob
i like listening to her talk in this accent hahahah
this scene cracks me up, always.
"How am I? Wet."
She doesn't really look wet in that scene though.
In fact, she didn't look wet when coming out of the water.
...I'm beginning to question a lot of things right now.
They probably filmed it backwards and then edited it in reverse
That's exactly what they did. Notice the bubbles before she emerges. Those were definitely the bubbles produced by lowering her in.
and that's how they filmed the Esther Williams scene they took ispiration of (look for "Millior Dollar Mermaid" on youtube, it makes the Scarlett Johansson scene looks minimal compared to it)
This is was SO badly done. Really not discret and noticeable at first glance.
it's intended to be "badly done", exactly like in the Esther WIlliam scene
She looks like Tinker Bell
Tiago Coutinho true.
Yet she talks like lady gaga
Tiago Coutinho wait holy shit i comment the same thing
"Damnit" She Said!
Phoenix Flores yeah
I laugh so hard when she was throwing her crown 👑
she has a good arm
Tina Loye she is black widow after all
Vini Bhatt ,🤣 true !
I want to appear from pools looking that dry 😂

You must be joking. Ha ha. C'mon. Take a look at serious actresses.
1:25 DAMMIT!! 🔱👋😠👏😅
There's something funny about Scarlett saying 'Dammit' with that accent at 1:25.
Beautiful video and the music too!
1:22 How many takes until that went well?
She fits a jewish new york mom more than being herself
This is fabulous because of how ridiculous it is! I loved every scene in this movie!
*LEGENDARY ACTORS IN THIS B💯🙏🏼💪🏼😌*
Her hair wasn’t even wet, GOALS! Lol
The scene was reversed!
Stars today couldn't shine the shoes of those stars in the past.
How *LUCKY* Is SNL Guy...
The most amazing mer-musical number to ever get ruined by throwing an crown into the orchestra
That's the same music i use for my Mermaiding clips!! I love this Opera and now i love this movie too!!
Which opera is this?
I like he accent here. She did a good job.
Laughable. Forgettable
Thats actually Scarlett Johansson when they say “cut!!!”
Really wish the film had gotten a couple decent shots of her in her full mermaid tail. Costumer must have head-desked when they saw their lovely design didn't get displayed well in the movie.
‘Ma’am? MISS! Do I look married?”
The eyebrow raise😂
This is so underrated :)
Scarlett Johansson 😍😍
Ash the Porcupine & Black Widow !💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
And also Kaa the snake from live action The Jungle Book 2016
Mindy
This has got to be one of the hottest dives in cinema history!
You should check out Esther Williams who it was based on then
@@aleciathomas5703
I am aware. Those are some of the others tbh. Also her aquabatics and such. Million dollar mermaid is an undisputed number one. But this video is still A tier.

So there were so many great bits in this film.
The thumbnail made this look like an SNL episode

Its wierd because its thanos talking to black widow. Does anyone else notice it?
wait WHAAAAT!?!
maybe this is what happened in Budapest
Lauracrimson: This comment made me laugh for a solid 5 minutes xD
Yep ,same
If this is your idea of being meta, it kind of sucks.
This inept pastiche of an Esther Williams aquamusical only underlines the brilliant originality of the real thing, and the magnificent and beautiful athleticism of the woman who created and personified it.
and it was filmed in the same tank she swam in !
@michaelmcenery7515 Really? Tks. Hope it's named for her.
1:52 black widow met thanos
More lile Agent K met Mindy
Fun fact: this wa shot on the same stage at Sony Pictures as Doc Ocs pier lair and the final fight of spider-man 2
Fun Fact: My cousin has a friend who works for the Coens as a casting director.
and its the very same stage that Esther Williams filmed her aqua musicals in
She is so good in this
Mannix is just unflappable throughout the entire movie, no matter what gets thrown at him.
OMFG I was just thinking about Life is beautiful and then the music started playing
Why did she ruin the shot by throwing her crown on the orchestra?
She has gas because she is pregnant.
@@gabrieleriva651 This got me hard quick😍
The Coens always get it right!
1:09!
Funny reverse video.
Hahaha
She’s great!
I just realised the shot at 1:12 is actually reversed. She always did seem a bit too dry to be emerging from the water
saw this a bit groggy waking up....thought it was the aquaman intro....
Perfect.
Jeremiah Shane Harris THCA aa
she could be marge's sister
Yeah when that New York accent came out of that mermaid mouth - lol
Oooh they're gonna fight in 2018!
*Is this what happened in Budapest-*
Mermaid that behaves like a common muck cowboy! Hahaha
Is this what heaven is like?
She voiced a mermaid once.
Yeah I know you’re referring to Princess Mindy from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie
@@darrylwilkinson1008 And Scarlett looks beautiful as a mermaid.
I may be male, but I would LOVE to wear Scarlett Johanssons's mermaid costume and tiara! If I got the opportunity to buy that mermaid costume, I would immediately take it!
Weirdo
@@shanerobison3392 you’re just jealous cause it wouldn’t fit you
Why did i try to watch this synchronized swimming creeps me out
Her accent reminds me of Marisa Tomei in “My Cousin Vinny”
Here you see how Scarlet is talented. She is so funny!!!!!
I'm getting some serious busbe burkely vibes here
Scarlett johansson is my favorite actress ❤ 😍 💕
Comes out of water hair is completely dry
It was filmed in the reverse. She was actually going in.
She was so graceful in this scene. Until she broke character and swam away
2:32 I mean it's not too much to ask for, is it? Someone reliable?
And not a major mob figure
It's a reasonable request.
Thats another time they could have killed Thanos but didn't.
Fantastic movie!!!
What song is that?
At the beginning she represents Venus, goddess if love, whole water ballet scene is the intercourse leading to pregnancy pulling in higher octave cyrrents of Venys which is Neptube so she comes up with the Trident, but underneath it all she is the Moon, unrefined archytype 'mother', she is wearing green because she r😮epresents the heart chakra 'pure love', hebce the last line about her innocence. Soundtrack is Offenbach's Barcarolle, Venetian gondelier style of music (her associations with the mafia-represents sky objects foreign to this solar system).
"Vince was not minor." When you insist your ex-husband was a major criminal, not a minor one. Point of pride.
Scarlett Johansson knows how to be classy without even trying
Ash The Porcupine?
Ma’am? 🤨
Miss, do I look married? 👰🏼♀️💍🤵
This was Olimpian Sport gentleman, I have no clue how it was graded but wow
Does ANYONE know the song name? I just can't find it anywhere.
I’ve found it on Spotify as Barcarolle
"It's true"😂
Esther William's vibes
she's pretty
Omg is that thanos ?
Footlight Parade!!!
This is how Natasha Romanoff met Thanos. 🙂
did she rise up out of the water in a diva cup
My cousin has a friend who works for the Coens as a casting director.
Why does reminds me of the old movies that is a musical part
she reminds me of lady gaga here
