The last line is very significant. "We could not have done this without you." A murderer can't become a celebrity without the cooperation and complicity of the audience.
Yes, I find Roxie's comment Chilling all the time I hear it.
All the murders, All the fame Around Murderers and the glamour in the courtroom. It sells, the people are enthousiastic for it.
We could not have done it without you.
That's very true. The songs in this movie are great but if you really pay attention to the story Roxy should be in jail, she committed murder and got away with it. I think that SJW weren't all that active when this movie was made.
I'm pretty sure everybody gets that Roxie is not a good person, that's the point of the musical right? It doesn't make someone an SJW because they didn't explain the main theme of the story to other people.
i think that's the tragic part of the musical.. Roxie and Velma got away with their murders with a manipulative lawyer who knows how to glamor their murder stories. The Hungarian girl who was in the cell with them was innocent but was executed due to a crime she did not do. It just shows how cruel life can be.
Haha. And poor Roxie never considered that Velma murdered her last partner... not such a good outlook for the future ;D
Renee Zellweger looks like she's genuinely having fun in this scene.
who wouldn't
Harley Quinn I was just about to say that
She used to be so beautiful. Now in 2018 she looks totally different and not because of her age.
Thought she was adorable in this movie so I looked her up...wtf happened to her....
Plastic surgery going wrong.
I don't understand why everyone is comparing the two actresses. They both look great and look like they genuinely had fun and like each other.
Angie42 Bonponsiero Women aren’t allowed to like each other. They need to compete at all hours, especially in appearance. It’s part of the rent they pay for existing.
Literally right before this song:
Roxie: Forget it. It'll never work
Velma: Why not?
Roxie: Because I _hate_ you.
Velma: There's only one business where that's no problem at all.
Guy above: women arent allowed to like each other
Me: "is gay"
Honestly bro wt the eff. Youre making me heterophobic.
No, they didn’t mean “like” like, like crushing, they meant just overall being okay with each other. Calm down.
OMG YESSSS ...That's statement is hard truth
to think that renee had no background in singing and dancing experience, what she achieved with chicago is really something to appreciate.
she sang in the movie Empire Records
Jahangir Hussain shes a star!!!
+Jahangir Hussain She also sang badly in Bridget Jones.
+Jahangir Hussain Very sad to see her today, after all those surgeries...
I agree her face looks a mess. :(
I love this movie because the villains won in the end which is rare
Fandom girl they are villains and protagonists so yea they should “win” anyways lol
Look our government and say that again lol
Spoiler
I think the point is that everybody is a villain. There wasn't a single character who was both good and right.
Except for the girl who died.
But she died
2:29
Richard Gere's face and shaking his head - as the lawyer who knew the whole story - priceless!
This is absolute perfection, even the different flair each brings: Renee- a fun, more flamboyant, and Catherine Zeta's character - a more sultry, mature version to the dance. It's just worth watching over and over.
super concordo
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that these women did a cartwheel.... in.... heels..... 😐😲😱
+Alexis “AlexisJoy006” Joy WHILE PREGNANT. Catherine was I believe 3-4 months pregnant when they shot this film.
+momijifugimia Are you sure the cartwheel wasn't done by a stuntlady?
Again: How do you know? Is there a documentary about this movie or anything, where they say they did it all themselves? Or do you just THINK they wouldn't use stunt doubles?
Lmao cartwheels are the easiest things every. They aren't even dangerous. What are you talking about. I preformed full dances in taller heels. And that means back tucks and back handsprings. Lmao
Anna Borsch Ok good for you Miss Pretentious. I'll send you a cookie to sweeten up that attitude of yours.
Catherine Zeta-Jones is really beautiful
was.
still is. ASSHOLE!!!!!
You know she was voted the most beautiful teenager from Wales -when she was 17
Shes too beautiful for this world honestly
When I saw this scene, I remember thinking, "This is going to win the Oscar. This is the scene they'll show in the montages years from now. So much talent."
Yeah the movie already win 6 trophies for best movie
I cannot say just how many times I have watched this clip, it is the one I invariably go to when I want to be cheered up a little. Those ladies are sensational.
Only four years and we'll be in the 20s again.
We are officially like them. Just in our current time. So weird to think that we will be known as the "teens" "twenties"... etc Ugh
The roaring 20s again...
Chris Howard Haha! I really hope so
So we're gonna blow all our money on parties..?
123goldenlily we’re all in debt anyway, so why not .
Renee learning how to dance with Catherine, a professional dancer is simply amazing and a testament to her talent. Just brilliant!
Catherine is just phenomenal. She literally commands the stage. Her dancing and singing screams passion. I guess her theater background contributed greatly.
What about Renee??
And she was pregnant while filming! She's awesome.
Mama and Flynn are in the audience watching their girls!
***** plus it's Queen Latifa so yeah she's gonna be rocking a tux.
The moral of the story I think is that fame burns out the moment there's someone new. Velma was the hot thing until rosy came, and then the same thing happened to rosy with Lucy liu's character. Especially how after she was announced innocent, no one cared because some new scarlet shot someone.
+Cassandra Jones it is actually Roxi not Rosy
***** in the 1920's she'd have other issues
+Rachel Blossoms my bad 😅 at least I got the moral right which is why I replied
something about the zoom-ins and the freezes with the camera jerking around ( 3:20 onwards ) is when the morbidness of the situation really sinks in for me. i guess it's just when it feels the most real? idk.
I felt the same thing!
להקת שיקגו
I see you have good taste in webcomics
Same!
@lila mansilla it shows that this ending is actually fucked up. Their murderers but took advantages and still won at the end. You can see in the other comments that the directors added the shaky camera thing to represent the tragedy.
They really owned this show.
i remember hearing on the directors commentary that they added that rumble at the end of the movie to remind the audience that behind the glitz and glamour the story was actually a tragedy; two killers got away with murder. if the victims had been children this would have been more apparent, but because they were filandering men, its perfectly acceptable.
+kadejito1 It says more about us that we actually are kinda glad they got away with it. The commentary is on society, and celebrity culture; it's even more relevant now than when Chicago was created.
Right on. Roxie didn't just kill a bad man, she killed a husband and the father of five innocent children. And Velma killed her own sister. What if her parents were still alive. And neither of these women believed they had done anything wrong!
+heaventree ofstars yeah that's what cell block tango was all about and if you remember when Queen Latifah was singing "When Your Good To Mama" Roxy said that she didn't do anything wrong
Also, don't forget, that the Attorney, in real life, often did 'brag&boast' that if Jesus had him at His Trial before Pilot, he'd had gotten him off. AND, the scene of the 'Pineapple' Company Heiress who kills her Man, and his 'girlfriend'. Did indeed actually happen, and the Attorney, got her OFF, on technicalities and 'temporary insanity'. He made a Mint!
Brandon C. Sites - Critic of Modern Day Horror: The musical was loosely based on true life. They were acquitted.
Love them both but Catherine looks effortlessly cool in this song especially!
I thought Renee did great. To be fair, Catherine is a professionally trained dancer and singer, so it's not surprising that her performance was a little more seamless and polished.
B Taylor Velma Kelly is the experienced singer-dancer in the show and Roxie is the amateur with almost no experience who wants to go into show business, so it wouldn't have fit if Roxie was as good a singer-dancer. Remember when Velma tells her after an audition that she's really not bad? Velma is the experienced one the whole way and Roxie is trying to get work based on her notoriety.
But some and most parts, why do feel like renee did better than cath
@@Zigblat your comment is perfect and exactly what i was thinking
B Taylor didn't Catherine just have a baby when she made this movie?
@@tildahalcrow1706 she was pregnant
How many films can you name where every frame tells the story to perfection? This is one.
For me I was scared at the end because when the audience was applauding and the camera "shots" were going off I thought it was some sort of symbolism of the two of them going crazy and ending up shooting all of them again for attention
Very interesting point there Sandra. :)
0.0 how the hell you found this comment?
Sandra Romero It's RUclips magic!
had the same feeling...
after you see mama in the audience it's kinda confusing,
also sometimes you can see a woman that looks like the AH-AH girl
hope there's an actual explanation for that haha
梶脂 I’m late as well but, roxie does things for attention too. Like how Roxie faked her pregnancy because reporters were crazy over the new prisoner.
Catherine Zeta-Jones just has that extra SOMETHING, like Beyonce, where if she's in the scene, you can't take your eyes off of her. She has great instincts for adding that nuanced flair that can't be learned. Just extraordinary.
during the rehearsals rene was said to be quite giggly and catherine the serious one definitely reflected in this number. rene looks like she's having more fun.. but so good performances
Catherine was definitely ambitious! I love renee's charming way though particularly in this film
Matthew James I think since in the film Catherine is playing a character who has a lot of experience in that performing, while Rene was playing a character that was really dreaming to become a star and do all that stuff and she's more of a girl full of fun.
Sarah Welles absolutely not.... she did a great job but Catherine has far superior timing. You can see it throughout this whole video. If you know anything about routines and timing you can see it.
@earthentreasure Yaaassss 👏 👏
And then 1929 came and they all became poor.
+SirEriol oh i love 20's cause they were rich times.. until the late fuckin years.. and again they were rich and 1940's came. this time, their dead.
Not many people had that much money in the first place though... it was mostly loans and a post-war mentality that made all the people so, for lack of a better word, gluttonous. That's why as soon as everything started going down hill people were screwed, because they had no money saved in the first place...
+Rachel Angel me too, i love the twenties i wish i was borm at that time
History always repeats itself. Case in point would be the housing bust of 2008.
+SirEriol Heya there, sunshine.
When I first saw this I thought the ending implied someone was going to shoot them from the audience, with all the shaky-cam and the strange sound effect at the end...
the weird noise is camera shooting tho
I thought the same thing! I thought maybe it was foreshadowing - like the camera noises.
i remember reading somewhere that it was intentional because they wanted to remind the audience that at the end of the day, they're murderers that got away with killing people. kinda creepy tbh
And the 3 of them, lawyer Roxie and Velma..in effect..did lead a profitable life, all the way until they died. Like the song: " Send Lawyers, Guns and Money"...and it will work.
Their last act wasn't really in the movies but they both sang a song called "I Move On" and they played that song at the credits.
Thank god this won Best Picture at the Oscars®!
One of the very few Best Pictures that wasn't overrated and is still entertaining
So many people think it didn't deserve that award but I completely disagree! The editing, the music, the characters, the story, the dancing - WHAT A MOVIE!
It should've swapped picture and director wins with the Pianist imo
The Gays really won that year.
cance7984 this was actually the second musical to win Best Picture
They were both PERFECTLY cast in their roles. Catherine was great as Velma, and Renee was great as Roxie. It was PERFECT casting.
I think Renee did a great job. Her moves looks youthful and fresh and new, while Catherine, as you said, looks more natural and experienced on stage.
I think both of them are very great in this and each brings a different style to it.
when Catherine Zeta-Jones is on the screen, you can't take your eyes off of her!
+lkj Reeeeally though!!!!! holyyyy sh*ttttt.. LMAO..
That’s how I feel about Zellweger.
Ah, memories...
I remember playing the crap out of that segment from 2:39-2:55, back in the day. I just love how the different sonorities come out after the trumpets call. Plus the dancing. It's all so very yum.
and brilliantly executed....
=)
I remember playing Pokemon on my game boy advanced in my parents' living room watching HBO and this would play in the background. Just added to the nostalgia even more like watching a fireplace and it begins to softly snow outside...
Troy Baker mine is playing this over and over in my lounge room while drinking Ribena and being home sick from school whilst also playing Pokemon on my game boy advanced
It's been almost 50 years and things SURE have changed! 😮 But I'm living the way I like 👍. And have always loved this number. First saw CHICAGO live in Chicago with original cast, seated in front row and fortunately was handed the prop newspaper by GWEN! 🏆
wow, the audience is pointed at by two guns held by two murderesses, and all they do is laugh; I mean, those sitting at the back of the theatre sure are too far away from the stage in order to judge if the guns are real or not
***** May I point you towards George Zimmerman (the guy started boxing and using his fame as a child killer to get people in the seats)
***** whats all this to do with trying to catch a glimpse of CZJs panties?
Julie Ogden That isn't true. He has never boxed.
I think that is the point. They are making fun of people just like they did in court.
.
The camera angles are insanely flattering. Really makes them seem immortal.
We won’t see a musical so perfectly crafted for a very long long time. Chicago the Movie rocks!
What about the Greatest Showman?
Imagine acting, singing and dancing... In heels no less!! This movie still holds up years later.
This is part of the movie is where both ladies, despite their controversial histories, are out on a showbiz-esque trial to see how well they bounce back from rock bottom. They did this movie justice by closing it off strong. well done catherine and renee.
Everyone knows that Catherine Zeta Jones was a former dancer, but Renee had to learn to dance for this movie, and what a fantastic job she does. How stunning are these two ladies.
They both killed that
A Williams yep, they sure killed
mimimomo oxo Ahhhhh I get it lol
Not the only thing they killed
Ayyyyyyy
I would love to learn that dance...can't even do a darn flip.
+Lillian J. we have to learn this in our performing arts class wish me luck and call me an ambulance
+Cheshire Kitten And how was it? Did it go well haha?
STEP UP THATS IT
And they’re in heels
1:55 the face. just. the face.
They blend their voices together so well! You cant hear one more than the other. This movie should'nt get anything less then 5 stars.
This whole movie was absolute perfection ❤️ Def deserved the Oscar 🙌🏽
This number is so masterfully well shot, acted and directed. Deserving of all the awards it got.
Ok let me just say this is one of my favorite movie scenes in history, the chemistry between the two actresses as dancers is aaah-mazing, they kicked butt!
I find Catherine's last line amazing. It was so fierce, it looked like Velma was Queen of the world and she was simply thanking her people. Catherine was so in character that she probably did it unconsciously, but it turned out so good! If you look at the way Catherine said "Thank You!" and notice her facial expression and movements, you'll see why it was so appropriate for Velma Kelly to say it like that. I think it was Catherine's best line.
Now that is real talent. Not much of it around like these two anymore.
both these women are alive
yeah, but with today's idiotic "trends" nothing seems to be good anymore. this in my opinion is a work of art compared to everything now. it may have been just several years ago when this movie was made but now it's all about who's best at looking like a coward on musical.ly. okay i'm straying from the point this movie and those some years ago were pretty damn good.
Oh there’s plenty of talent, you’re just not looking in the right place
Catherine Zeta Jones absolutely destroyed this performance every time she was on screen. She completely and totally stole every scene. I mean, just damn. I've seen a lot of people attempt All that Jazz, but after this movie, an attempt is all they will ever be.
Same with her dance in zorro. Many people did that dance after that and it never looked even close to how Catherine did it.
The camera direction in this is GENIUS!!
It's rare to see a great cinematic moment, but this is one of the best in the last 25 years.
Why does this still give me goosebumps....I swear, best movie musical finale ever! Catherine & Renee will ALWAYS be Velma & Roxie to me! :)
The timing is so perfect and the notes and coreogrophy both really work very well together.
There are things I do not understand, one is why people who do not like musicals are going to watch musicals? Just to say that Chicago did not deserve the Oscar? I agree with the choice of academia. The Pianist is great but movies similar it come out almost every year. Chicago was new to the cinema because he could mix the atmosphere of classical musical and update them has succeeded respect for this genre again (along with Moulin Rouge!)
People believe they own the truth and The Academy should agree with them, or with IMDB's ranks.
Agree about Chicago, but Moulin Rouge was terrible.
I just couldn't take my eyes off Catherine, she was perfect on this movie!!
This is actually my favorite scene. I love the way they dance; it's so inspiring.
there are not enough words to explain how much I love this movie.
The most extraordinary thing is you can hear their heels clacking. So important for women of this era. Amazing sound design!
GUYS WE NEED TO BRING JAZZ BACK! THE 20'S ARE COMING!
Everything changed when the virus attacked
Kat Still gonna be a flapper for Halloween lol
@@WhirlwindandHeatburst that's the spirit!!
@@WhirlwindandHeatburst We can be flappers together.
Alex Wheeler OwO
Wow. Slick and gorgeous and filmed like a work of art. The ladies are smoking hot.
Yeah! Both very beautiful and talented...with a hint of crazy. 😂😂😂
An exceptional movie, so wonderfully directed, edited, and performed. So twenties, with just a peppering of the surreal. Totally cool.
I remember seeing Chicago live about 2 months ago,it was SPECTACULAR!This part was my favorie
Catherine is sensational. A fantastic all-rounder. I also admire that she's worked her arse off since she was a child to be where she is today. This film surprised me for how phenominally good she is. I love her.
So good! This, to me, is one of the best film adaptations of a musical ever.
The best one will always be Grease to me
"Mmmmmm I'm a star!
And the audience loooovves me!
And I love them
And they love me for loving them
And I love them for loving me
And we looovve each other
And that's cause none of us got enough love in our childhoods...
And that's showbiz... kid."
BRILLIANT how these ladies do the Charleston! WONDERFUL show altogether!
Catherine Zeta Jones, woman crush everyday 😍
Indeed 😍
Absolutely!
There's just something about the camera angles that makes this scene amazing.
This scene always brings me such joy what an amazing film and amazing talent
This song is what made me love musicals.
Goldie and Liza couldn't get the funding to have this movie made back in the day. Who would have thought it would be Best Picture?
I wish that they (Goldie and Liza) had also made a movie, and that this was a remake, because that would've been spectacular, as this one was.
Liz a and Goldberg would have been perfection!
I like it when the wall of lightbulbs flashes on in one giant burst. * . *
Those legs are next level. Damn.
Renée and Catherine KILL this number! Haha !! See what I did there lol?
To think that some cast members in this one had no real singing and dancing experience before that is one of the most mind blowing things about this movie.
They are on point
I already know the dance! :D
This is one of my favorite scenes in the entire movie.
Catherine and Renee work so well together. They contrast to well.
Hope to see these two girls again together on the stage ! They were out of this world !!!
午前十時の映画祭で、映画館にて観ることができました。
やっぱり大画面で観ると素晴らしさがより一層引き立ちます。
great to see two people, not only playing such good parts but, having such fun, in their roles!
The last line, "We could not have done this without you" is very telling. It shows that murderers can't become celebrities without the complicity of the audience and the media.
The amazing thing about this show is that it was a critique of social media and reality stars before they even existed.
Actually, not about the reality stars themselves but the people that follow them.
I remember wanting to learn this choreography so bad when I was a kid. They were so glamorous!
Catherine definitely has the essence of the 20's a lot more than Renee. She is looser with her movements and just follows the basics, but still makes it fun. Love both of them.
I don't think of it as a bad reflection on Renee. I figure it's part of Roxie's character to be outshined by Velma. Velma was the real celebrity and Roxie was the wannabe.
I agree; I love Renee but she looks silly, and she's to skinny; I think that's why her movements don't look strong.
She's a trained dancer. Renee learned to dance for the movie.
Best ending to any movie musical ever!!
this is the most amazing and fun yet also simultaneously morbid thing
Awesome film and song
Damn, Catherine Zeta Jones!
One of the most iconic broadway duo ever
Amazing dance number.
何度見ても飽きません。本当にすごい！二人とも綺麗なうえに見事な踊り！
Chapeau bas !!
I can't get enough of this song! I swear, it's been stuck in my head since monday!
I understand a lot of people prefer Catherine’s performance over Renee’s obviously because Catherine is a profession singer and dancer who has had a lot of experience in comparison to Renee. However even within their characters, of course Velma is going to look a lot more professional as this was her job, whereas Roxy always dreamt of this. Thus she is going to have fun with it and look a little less professional
One of the best movies ever. Great great cast!!!!
Catherine NAILED wonderfully and IMPECCABLY!!!
Fabulously the best ever musical & award winning film I ever watched since then..
I love this movie!
I love Richard Gere’s expression at 2:30. LOL 🤣🤪
This is just incredible! every peice of this movie is just a masterpeice!
Met Renee in 2016 and she was stunning told her this was one of my favourite films by her - she’s absolutely knock out in this film!!! Love this ending - in the end the women always win haha
Bless you Fossee
And just like that, I shipped them
Brian Johnson I agree 😂😂
They have a bad precedence for relationships...
Catherine is really cool, not only effortless, her body has the beat in dancing, it's really really cool, love that
Rehearsing for this most have incredibly challenging. I admire the incredible singing and choreography.
