Giri/Haji - dancing scene

[@robmcgregor1683]

I was the camera operator for this shot, one of the favourite things i have ever done, awesome director, writer, cast, everyone!!

[@ramiroalfonso186]

I wish ive seen this before taking my corporal expression class in acting school. Ive understood a lot more in this 3 minutes than in 4 months of classes.

[@patanagreg]

Well, damn, congrats man it's amazing

[@igottmituns]

Well done. You guys put together a masterful shot. Bravo.

[@manjunathprasadcv3332]

as an aspiring filmmaker myself...I was just thinking, I would give everything to be a part of this scene... Pure genius of a cinematic moment...take a bow sir...you did great...Respect....

[@gungnir7736]

Beautiful sequence, sums up the characters history and feelings perfectly, and to be the part of the dance that made the whole thing work must have been an awesome experience

[@moonflow5133]

How they could portray the complicated dynamics between all the different characters was utterly mesmerising.

[@TheVillest]

took the words right out of my mouth. i cried during this. how beautiful and creative this was. just amazing

[@woolheater1]

One of the most original creative tv sequences I have seen in 62 years on planet earth.

[@moazamkhan]

Very original. Very bad.

[@bxvideony]

Well said. Lost for words watching this scene. Creativity at its best

[@atrxyu]

@@moazamkhan if opinions could be wrong, this one would be

[@michaelsedayao8328]

Absolutely - really ground-breaking…

[@jakbenardete7707]

One of the truly greatest moments in television. There’s a lot of great tv out there, some amazing actors and directors but this scene had me sobbing like a little kid completely out of nowhere. Pure beauty and deep deep emotion. Who ever thought of this is a true artist.

[@littlelumber]

I completely agree. And I reacted the same way, it was uncontrollable.

[@death4904]

Why has this not blown up? Best series I've seen in years. Like a lot of people have said....when this scene started I thought it was silly.. then I cried. That shows the amazing creativity of this.

[@133_D]

Honestly me too! I hardly ever cry when watching tv but this scene... this got me shedding tears man. Most unique and well choreographed scenes I’ve ever seen.

[@zakgunning1]

And cancelled for season 2, literally unbelievable how that could happen its an absolute masterpiece. Hoping squid games makes it blow up

[@SchiggyNC]

It didnt blow up and got cancelled because its garbage. I had high hopes but it disappointed heavily. The series thinks of itself as way too good as well which makes it often cringey

[@zakgunning1]

@@SchiggyNC read the comments on anything involving it, if that's not critical acclaim then I don't know

[@vistalover9607]

I went through the exact same thing. I saw it happen and I was like wow creative but so cringe. Very silly. Then I started crying I didn’t even know why. I couldn’t stop. Then I realized I was so lucky to have been able to watch this show.

[@Vikasthegunner]

Coming here literally minutes after watching the final episode. This sequence is so melancholy and moving. I did not see it coming. It blew me out of the water.

[@stupidfrog2205]

Can't believe the BBC and Netflix cancelled this, this show was the best thing I've ever seen done by the BBC. And this scene is a masterpiece. I remember hearing about it and thinking "That sounds pretentious and cringe" but it turned out to be beautiful and got me choked up.

[@gyuyongjeong4771]

One of the best Series ever I‘ve watched. This show deserves more attention definitely.

[@brjohnboy307]

I was in tears watching this scene. I'm a Scot (from Glasgow) who lived in Japan (for 3 years, moved back 10 years ago). Just watched this last week. I had no idea interpretive dance could be so powerful. Incredible character development and world building (sasuga na!) leading up to this point (Takehiro Hira, Kelly MacDonald and ESPECIALLY Will sharpe!) Incredible editing, touching on my two home countries too, as a silly bonus! That aside, spell binding! Glad Will was awarded a BAFTA as Best Supporting Actor - amazing performance too!

[@tinadonaldson3267]

Will Sharpe was amazing wasn't he as were all the actors!

[@lborja579]

One of the most beautiful scenes ever made , I cried here

[@gahan101]

Man,I just finished the last episode right now and I just cried too. That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on tv or theater in years. I really mean it.

[@thiagoportella9277]

So do I. Hard to see...

[@ForeverFornever37]

Omfg I got roasted for crying here this makes me feel better

[@atrxyu]

@@ForeverFornever37 anyone who watches the whole show and doesn't cry during this is a robot

[@Unintelligentful]

I was in tears 5 seconds into this scene.

[@VanGoWanderlust]

It's a year later and it still brings me to tears.

[@moazamkhan]

Lmao

[@PJ-iy7sy]

This was the most beautiful scene I have ever seen in a tv show 🖤

[@crisruhr9588]

This scene was so unexpected, and came directly after a fairly tense 10 minutes, the dance and movement perfectly portrayed the anguish, pain, happiness, loss and heartbreak felt by som many of the characters throughout the series

[@TheCrooksandCastle]

Cris Ruhr yeah, it was quite a jarring surprise and almost a summation of all the episodes summarized into a sequence

[@ConanObrien22]

Is this series coming back for the 2nd season?

[@TheCrooksandCastle]

Conan O'Brien probably not, Netflix is notorious for ending shows. But take this series as a limited run.

[@maggyfrog]

this is the synopsis of the show. such poetry

[@spagussy]

Did not expect to consider an interpretive dance scene one of the best scenes in any show or movie ive ever seen

[@maxrebo8455]

It was a nice little reminder of The OA.

[@lower_than_furries9727]

This is one of the most beautiful artistic performance I have ever seen. Giri/Haji is truly a masterpiece. Loved every single moment of it.

[@jeremycherian3460]

one of the most beautiful scenes in TV and movies I've ever seen, everything is beautifully summarized and it puts a bow on the series as a whole, promote the mf that made this RIGHT NOW

[@gal2659]

At the first few seconds of this I was like "wtf is this, come on, cheezy pretentious bullshit", but a few moments have passed, and I got carried by the beatiful choreography and music, truly brilliantly surprising scene

[@lauradieztascon575]

Agree, specially because the film grows in pretentiousness as progress, but this scene reconciles me with it! Great first chapter and great contemporary dance moment

[@peterfarrell3987]

You laugh at 'creative dance' and then you see something like this. Powerful, imaginative. This is why the BBC remains so special.

[@msushi98]

@@lauradieztascon575 I think I understand what you’re referring to with the pretentiousness thing, but something to consider is cultural differences. The kinda poetic (“pretentious”) way of speaking is commonplace in screenplay/books in Japanese culture. As a Canadian of Japanese ethnicity, it was weird for me too at first- I just thought the way they talk in movies/tv shows was cheesy and fake. But it’s really just the beautiful way they write scripts and talk :)

[@olpheist9955]

This scene was honestly one of the most beautiful things I have ever had the honour to witness on television, it was utterly mesmerising, I loved this show so much as well.

[@daniellinehan63]

What a great series- GREAT

[@kevinsloane4974]

I agree - watching it now still moves me to tears..

[@paulw7647]

I would have never thought in a million years that I’d be left sobbing from an interpretive dance. I was ambivalent the first few seconds, but when the father appeared to embrace his two sons, it really affected me, and I ugly cried for the rest.

[@nuriyyaakhazade7231]

...amazing...I couldn't stop crying while watching...

[@JustHerMusic]

I loved the show anyway until this point, but this scene took me completely by surprise and I was so moved I found myself sobbing uncontrollably. I still cry rewatching it. Glad so many people felt the same :) Working in the arts I can only hope to one day be involved in creating something as incredible as this. A mini masterpiece!

[@nikosmakris7886]

The best scene ever.every time just crie

[@TokyoBlue587]

This scene was so unexpected and so beautiful. It perfectly sums up what all the characters are feeling and their relationships to each other.

[@thestruggler7926]

It's a shame season 2 was cancelled. I'd love to see more beautiful scenes like this. What an amazing show.

After 3 years I watched the series again, but this scene..I can’t.

[@Hunjord78]

The most beautiful scene I have ever seen

[@Anonymous36]

To tell the story of life in this way. How we connect. How we break each other. How we yearn for each other. Couldn't believe my eyes. Art of the highest order.

[@MrShaun87]

My entire life I never really appreciated or ‘got’ dancing as an art form, until I saw this scene

[@zambimaru11]

The most powerful 3 minutes of cinema - of all time

[@beno9066]

When Kenzo goes to embrace his dad but his dad runs to Yuto instead. Damn.

That’s his baby 😭

[@alexquant1335]

Watch the last episode last night, and this was .. sublime. Heartbreaking. Hopeful. One of the most extraordinary and unexpected things I've seen on TV.

[@Kev621]

I truly didn't expect to react the way I did watching this scene. I saw everyone's story, everyone's pain, joy, the love,, the hate, and it made me think of my own watching this one scene. It all started when everyone reached for Taki... Most of all...it made feel pain that there isn't a season 2 coming. 🤨

[@SYAZWANisHERE]

Probably one of the best scene I've ever watched on a TV series. It got me in tears.

Easily one of the most moving scenes i've scene in any television show EVER! Beautiful, had me in tears.

[@mrthomasclare1381]

An amazing series. This scene made me cry.

[@karenhenderson4843]

I agree with everything written here. It was like the dance reached way down deep into my very SOUL when it happened. Then I had to watch it over and over because I was possessed by it. I shared it with some friends out of context, and I don't think it meant that much. But after watching the series, and seeing all the love yearning/love denied, it encompassed all the complexities of the characters' emotions. I teach theater and film at the college level, and it, by far, is one of the most extraordinary artistic moments I have ever witnessed.

[@User2jn]

Kenzo and Yuto's chorography really struck me emotionally, because it's something that I could resonate with. Its like chasing after the ghost of those you desperately tried to keep close to you.

[@user-gm7yh9fw7q]

so exquisite, takes my breath away every time

[@rezajafary2051]

[@MuhammadAldienPranata]

I felt The OA vibes.... Best scene on this show!

[@booshkabooshka1642]

I cried like a baby on this scene

[@KnicksHead]

This scene came from left field but fit so perfectly. An interpretive dance sequence to convey EVERYTHING each character is dealing with with one another. This scene, and the scene in another episode where they played “Heal” by Tom Odell were my favorite scenes of the show. I’m not even sure if I want a season 2, the show ended perfectly in my opinion.

[@bugbig3063]

This scene is literally explain the whole serie. Best fucking scene ever!

[@PunksInVegas]

Beautiful scene, somehow capturing all of those struggles and connections, I cried. A true highlight of a wonderful show. Tahnk you for sharing it. I still think about this scene a lot.

[@cedricsankara9809]

This might be one of the most beautiful scenes i've ever seen. Holy shit this moved me. It's a shame they cancelled season 2.

Giri / Haji is one of the best shows ever, I loved it, the characters, the story, it was so captivating, and this scene is one of the most beautiful scenes I’ve even seen 💕

[@ella2751]

This is truly the most beautiful scene ever to air on television.

[@TheJiffy]

I'm struggling to articulate exactly how powerful I found this scene. I was, and still am, completely awestruck. I've enjoyed watching the sequence over and over, appreciating each minor change in focus to draw the eye.... 2:23 is a highlight to me, showing Rodney gripping Sarah. A masterclass of choreography, direction, and everything else alongside them.

[@davidkettlewell]

This show overall was amazing, when i first saw this scene i didn't know what to think but that is the sign of great telly it challenges your expectations.

[@B1ssetplaysbass]

Those string harmonies make me tear up

[@demzre]

Is it just me or did anyone tear up watching this scene? It was just so beautiful.

[@uzrider]

I am Japanese. I didn't know about this drama, but I ended up here after watching "SHOGUN". I spent a whole day watching this drama, and I saw this scene in the middle of the night, and I thought it was strange, but for some reason I cried. Love is messy but worth it.

[@BatmanHQYT]

This was actually the best moment of the otherwise clumsy, misguided finale. Beautiful encapsulation of the show's various roiling currents of emotion. Must have taken forever to stage and choreograph.

[@VanGoWanderlust]

One of the most beautiful scenes I've ever seen in a tv series. It made me weep like the first time I saw Hamilton.

[@Kunaimaster1000]

Having seen contemporary dance on corny American dance shows for most of my life, this was the first time I was truly moved and witnessed the pure Immanuel Kant-esque beauty of it all. Honestly is my favorite scene of all time.

[@rahulpadole3667]

This scene was so unexpected and the total showstopper of the entire series I cannot believe how this scene made me forget I exist. I cannot phantom another scene like this. Always remember "anyone can cook." It doesn't mean that everyone can cook but a great cook can come from anywhere and this is nothing lesser than the best director in this man's opinion

[@Dewingo]

This scene caught me completely by surprise, but it's such a perfect representation of the complex web of emotions and relationships the main characters are in.

[@mpliewhohoho]

I have replayed this scene for the 5th time as I'm writting this, and each time has moved me to tears. The emotions. The music. All the feelings of hope, despair, anguish, love, responsibility, reaching, disappointment, trapped, rejection, unfilled desire for approval, free spiritedness, happiness, moments of impossible decisions etc all multiplied itself in this intense few minutes. I am absolutely beyond words as to they have put this together. Depending on your stage in life, all these feelings we can relate to in our own lives, and what made it so incredibly powerful. This one scene, to me, is what being human is about.

[@BabaPinoy]

When i first saw this scene in the last episode, at 0:27 i burst out in tears, i have no word for this to describe...

[@alexdelsocorro781]

This show is so fucking awesome. The bizarreness, the constant meshing of genres, ensemble of diverse weird characters and the line between cheesy and heart wrenching drama always crossed. 10/10

Before i started to watch this show I watched the trailer and this video was recommended for me. I was a bit confused. Now I watched the whole show and this scene was perfect it's so beautiful. The show is perfect from the beginning till to the end. The whole crew made a really really fantastic job. I enjoyed every single second of this. The script, the framework,the artist literally everything 10/10. This show is so underrated. I wish there will be another season but BBC said no.:(

I am a movie director and a contemporary dancer. When this scene started I was completely shocked. I felt excited to see how the scene was going to develop. It was nice at first, then Kenzo's father came into the scene.. My heart was like "ok bro, you gonna cry". Then Rie came into the scene, I felt like... ok ok... Then Rodney appears, and then Tiff. I didn't realise i was already crying my fucking eyes out. Awesome job to the director and the screenplayer. The ending of this series was so disappointing, yet, this dancing scene was a masterpiece and saved the whole thing in my opinion.

The cinematic effect, the dance routine and the emotions placed behind the dance are absolutely phenomenal. I never was one to understand dancing from ballet to hip, etc, but this made me actually cry. You can relate from their expressions to the bearing the weight of a family members problems to the daughter being broken only looking for a place to call home within her parents to the family issues in general and lovers. It was so incredibly well done. 10 outta 10 would do it again
