[@yarbles67]

her outburst of laughter seems genuine and not manufactured

[@soakedbootcuts]

Best use of split screen in a film.

[@reliobox9849]

Just graduated college and have to say this is the best college movie ever, and so many parts capture the frenzy of emotions you go through there. The movie is awfully romantic and warm with meet-cute scenes like this. When you combine the narcissism with the yearning to fall in love, you get an emotionally honest and complex portrayal of youth that few movies have captured.

[@Youtube304s]

Meet-cute? Phag

@chakr.a ghey not gay. It's just a cringey term.

[@lb6415]

i mean this scene is really nice but in general the film is sordid and very desperate

[@TheAuteurist]

This scene= Pure Cinema

[@avary]

Thank you, so much.

[@TheAuteurist]

avary you're so welcome, Sir. Make more movies 👍

[@moeaholic]

Absolutely love the way this scene was shot. Just......beautiful.

[@adrianaldana6588]

Totally love this movie, actually is my favourite movie.

[@whatever]

Roger, when are you going to return to directing?

[@userka8936]

When I first discovered this movie, I watched it 10 times in two weeks.

[@matthewbolch2146]

Thank you always for this ❤

[@setpunks13]

what's wonderful about this scene is the way he seems so implacable until she takes off his sunglasses, and you see how vulnerable his eyes are. Heartbreaking.

[@yeahnah4303]

Wow I didn’t think you were actually the guy who made the film. I’m sitting on the toilet right now typing this and watching the guy on the toilet too. I’m just enjoying the song. About to take a shower with it playing. I love the internet. I can watch a great and moving movie. Then hop on the toilet to message the guy who made it. Love it

[@MarshallJonesAustin]

It's impossible to find this version of "coulours" by Donovan on KZbin. So glad it's here!

[@LuisGomez-uk3ot]

Vanderbeeks best movie.

[@kilakr13]

One of the greatest movies in the early 2000's

[@whoareyoutoaccuseme]

Still one of my very favorite films. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, it makes me think of so many of my old friends I've sadly lost touch with. And that soundtrack!

[@jeffscheider]

The suicide scene is one of the best edited/directed sequences I've ever seen. If I was stuck on an island with only one movie, this would be it. Cheers

[@avary]

Thank you, very much.

[@danielglenn915]

Couldn't agree more. I tell folks it's the most morbidly perfect suicide ever lol

[@crosscountrycrusader]

Goddamn this is a good movie.. watched it as a freshman in college randomly, and will never forget it.

[@JOHNNYSACK63]

Such an incredible scene and beautiful song!

[@FredAmpofo]

I loved the entire film, Mr.Avary. Thanks for your great work.

[@morkeljakeson9438]

This version of the song cannot be found anywhere!!! I even bought the soundtrack to this movie and it’s the regular version of Colours. Colours is beautiful and my wife and I had it as our wedding song. But where is this richer version of the song?!?! I can’t believe it was not on the official soundtrack

[@ChoirofVVolves]

i remember watching this movie for the first time years ago and loving the soundtrack so much. filthy romantics with scummy freedom!! this and the cure are perhaps the two greatest placement sections in the film, where it's tough to image anything else with them now.

[@avary]

@camerapants My apologies that the iTunes soundtrack contains an alternate version of Colours. The version used in the film was from a 1/4" reel-to-reel recording I had for many, many years, and when the soundtrack CD was being mastered my recording wasn't available and someone from the label chose to use this version -- I believe because it was from an album in release at the time. When I found out I tried to rectify the choice, but it was too late. So ... sorry. My eye wasn't on the ball.

[@SteveKrantz]

Everyone wants the real version lol. It's nowhere!

[@ratmdex]

I would truly love to have a copy of this version of the song

[@keira-f7b]

One of my favorite films sequences I've seen Thank you

[@oedipus_tex8660]

Shannon Sossmans style is timeless. Literally cooler than any of these wannabes today

[@xenomorphlover]

This whole movie is one of the most underrated gems in cinema history and i will never understand how this hasnt gotten more praise for the past decade. No other movie in my opinion illustrates the troubled life and problems of most privileged students during college years like this movie. There are few movies that resonate with me like this one...

[@awskater5899]

I'm not sure how you can enjoy this movie as you say. Maybe if they actually added in all the content from the book it would make sense. Otherwise it really doesn't make sense. Good music, good scenes but terrible character development.

[@Ikaros23]

@@awskater5899 Have you even read the book`s of Bret Easton Ellis?. 1: The film is a masterwork and a brilliant adaptation of the book. And the topic of sex, drug`s, liberal culture, narcissism has played in the elites. And that this toxic lifestyle often ends in tragedy ( Less Than Zero, American Psycho, Glamorama, The informers) This is often the underlying theme in Ellis story`s. The actors play great, and there is in fact good character development, you just use words to sound intellectual and smart. 2: Film adaptations are never meant to be a copy of a book. The directors always`s make their own version of the book. Take artistic freedoms and so on. If you think that film adaptations should be a 100% copy of a book, then it`s obvious that you are never going to see a film adaptation in your life that will fit that standard. Often book`s also is largely in the head/thoughts of the characters and this would not play out good in a film, that is based in a visual and not a abstract scene like in a mind. I`m not saying this to be a troll. Just giveing you a feed back so you can enjoy films better. Also check out the film adaptations of " Less than Zero" and " the informers" , they are great!

[@anitagoyal2851]

Rock and roll ,deal with it, will always be the coolest catchphrase

[@SKID-eo1lb]

this one my favorite films, thanks for making it... i miss films like these....

[@leolarge4264]

about 16 years later and i still love the movie. thanks for the clip

[@bendaubmire3807]

Fantastic film. Goosebumps every single time.

[@sianspherica]

Roger I return to this briliiant hilarious amazing movie so so many times. Even though I own the DVD and have since it came out i can't help but watch these clips on KZbin whenever they show up in my feed. It's such an absurdly rewatchable movie. Well done man.

[@itsssparkerd.6798]

I heard this song on Britannia just now. second episode. I immediately recognized it from this scene. I mostly hear Carrot head singing it very hick like in my head. :) That was always my most favorite commentary on any DVD/movie Ever!!

[@emelizabeth9626]

I love this movie & this version of this song A vibe in the morning

[@Shdcloud21]

If you are really Roger Avary, thank you for everything, but especially this.

[@cinemanarchist]

Mister Avary thank you for adapting this to the screen. I read the book to this before seeing it and you did a great job. This was a very great film to see in the theater. Especially when this scene popped up. So again, Thank you and KEEP MAKING MOVIES!!!

[@misterkidd2679]

This version of Colours is like 1000x better than the original album version. I wish it was easier to find. This youtube clip is the only place I can find it. Does anyone own this soundtrack on CD, is this the version that appears on the OST?

[@itsssparkerd.6798]

This version appears in the show Britannia in the second episode. I immediately recognized it from this scene.

[@greghan450]

Both versions are by Donovan. The original version came out in 1965. When Epic Records was putting together a Donovan greatest hits record in 1969 they couldn’t secure the rights to the original track, so they had Donovan re-record it and this is the version that came out of that session. I couldn’t find a digital version of this anywhere other than here either, so I had to find a CD version of the greatest hits album on ebay, and then burn it to my iTunes playlist. Totally worth it, it’s such a beautiful song.

[@morkeljakeson9438]

I bought the soundtrack on CD and it was the regular version!!! I was specifically looking for this version!

[@camilagonzalez8523]

1000000% agree. here's hoping it will someday be online

[@NDgramps27]

Roger, thanks for posting this, and thank you for whomever posted the audio-only version. I was trying to locate The NY Times "Anatomy Of A Scene" that provided insight on how you and your team synched the two moving images. Would be a great companion video to this. No luck so far but will keep searching.

[@fuzzyone99]

Thanks for posting this. Kudos on calling it transformative in defense of its availability for fair use.

[@jameswberk]

Just a quick thank you for filming this. A fantastic scene.

[@abnormallyfunny]

[@Drewcarter17]

This is my favorite movie of all times and this is one of many of my favorite scenes from it I would love to see a number two to this movie continue it please I must know what Shawn had to say at the end and I wish Lauren and Paul could have ended up happy with someone please let there be a number two in the near future with the original cast

[@MrBadscorpio]

I thought this was a great split-screen sequence, especially how it all came together when the meet face to face. Classic.

[@hipmoney420]

I love BEE's work and wow... you visualized his book in an amazing way man! Gotta love the score too...

[@TittyTittyBangBangXX]

Really great song, Thank you

[@fadplastic]

For anyone curious why Pulp Fiction was as great as it was look no further than the highly underrated talent of Roger Avery. This film was and still is simultaneously of it’s time and a harbinger of everything that we’re living in now in terms of disassociated kids living in an abyss of hedonistic pleasure seeking fantasy.

[@Sarajb517]

Ugh this should have thousands of comments. This feeling forever

[@m1ndtr0n]

awesome movie roger!! thanks 4 this!!

[@Iamseanabortionè]

I’m a huge fan of the book (and all bret Easton Ellis) and I think this movie may be the best film adaptation of a book ever. The things it changes from the novel are either stylistic choices that give the film a certain vibe which separates it from the books dreariness or character or plot changes that make the film better than the book in some ways. Paul is way better in the film imo as in the book he’s quite dull compared to the other protagonists but in the film he steals the show due to Ian sommerholds performance and the amazing scripting. The directing and cinematography is only amazing, the six different ways scene gives me goosebumps it’s so well done.

[@styleissubstance]

This is such a great sequence.

[@tookstr]

Donovan’s The Hurdy Gurdy Man 2005 digitally remasterd has this version on it. The version from the movie is slightly faster and higher pitched. I ripped the song off the CD with EAC and used Audacity. Under effects chose change speed and entered 4. I then edited out some of the beginning to match the above video. Now it’s much closer to the version above.

[@damofalcon]

I'd say the version from the movie is slower ? but okay

[@7n154]

"You're name is Sean Bateman." "You're name is Lauren." Lauren takes Sean's glasses off. And Sean is smitten. The rest of his day will be making Lauren love him.

[@Ikaros23]

FUN FACT: Sean (James van der Beek) has the last name Bateman, and is in fact the younger brother of Patrick Bateman, played by Cristian Bale in American Psycho. The Bret Easton Ellis Universe ;-p
