[@robinmccoy7457]

This has to be my most favorite scene in a movie. Al Pacino actually listens to what Donna wants and provides it within just a few minutes. Her clueless boyfriend walks up later and has no idea that he is missing out on his girlfriend’s soul. I like to think this experience caused her to break up with Michael to find her soulmate.

[@adambassador7727]

One of the MOST stunningly, naturally beautiful women to ever grace the silver screen…enough to make any man want to learn to dance, just so he may carry her across the floor…

[@sunshineandstarlight]

How sweet

[@ibrahimali007]

Her laugh and smile are more than what a man with his eyes can handle Gorgeous

[@fohponomalama5065]

One of the most innocently sensual scenes ever put on film, and they didn't even have to take their clothes off! Gabrielle will forever be known for this classic scene with Pacino.

[@JALackman-zw4in]

Her heart was in her throat... until the second dip. Then she relaxed. Loved how she put her temple on his cheek, and touched his hand each time on the final twirl.

[@helenthorpe8005]

No mistakes in the tango Donna. Just fabulous❤

[@bobrocks8387]

The more they dance. The more the band got into it, beautiful.

[@emmanuelagudo4918]

'some people live a lifetime in a minute' indeed. This is very beautiful.

[@oldguy2082]

After seeing this scene, I understand why Pacino deserved his Oscar. This was the most important scene in the film. Not only was Awar perfect in her role and the tango well done, but just as important was the reaction of the extras in the background. Their reaction helps build the believability of the scene. After watching this, I went out and rented the film to watch it in its entirety and marvel at Pacino's performance. It may not be a great film, but Pacino's performance and this scene make it worth watching.

[@joelcruz9415]

I feel like the extras got sucked into the scene the same way we did. They were just lucky to have experienced it first hand.

[@yanjieji8452]

[@jackwilloughby239]

My Brother in Law who is a punning toad otherwise, swept my most beautiful sister off her feet by insisting she dance a simple Waltz with him. It's not the Culture in the Woman, but the Culture in the Man. I myself have two left feet on the dance floor, but nothing a few lessons with a good teacher couldn't cure. There is an old, old adage "Never give a sword to a man who doesn't know how to dance". Dancing, Boxing, Martial Arts, it's all the same. The Argentines teach Tango Mano a Mano. Check out Robert Duval's "Assassination Tango". Cheers,@@TommyCeltic

What a crying shame that Pacino's character was unable to see with his own eyes how beautiful Donna was, even if his remaining senses and imagination were able to fill in the blanks.

[@Segundo_Grande]

Ahhh, but that exactly is the beauty of the scene... he feels her, youth, her beauty...

[@silviazanicotti5054]

@@Segundo_Grande Yes, I agree and the scene is not strange: the dark, even the deepest one, like this, in a blind person has always a "measure" and Donna, who "penetrated" that darkness, gave it a measure and a "shape", made by the sensation of warmth of her skin on the hands of Slade, her breath, her particular scent and the sound of her voice...just another way to feel beauty.

[@weasley2o13]

Something extraordinary is happening here, and I don't mean the dance. Not THAT dance, anyway: Frank is constantly trying to get Charlie to talk to Donna, but the thing that he CAN'T SEE is that there's something there without his help. The way she looks down when he tells Charlie she likes him ( 1:48), and the way her eyes linger on Charlie when she's laughing, before thanking Frank ( 2:46 ) let's the viewers continue the story in our minds, and we know she's older than Charlie, and we know she's about to get married, but taking advantage of the physical space and the emotional closeness be tween Charlie and Donna, they're giving us a chance to to wonder. What if Michael never showed up? What if Donna took Charlie's hand and asked him to give her another dance? What if she'd taught him what Frank just taught her? What if Charlie had asked her to spend the night with him? What if he's kissed her...? All of these storylines just streamed through my mind just watching it and I can and will take each scenario and see where it takes me. And it's very rare. And if you ask me, as a writer, an editor, a book worm and a film fanatic (clinically so) giving someone a chance to be open is much more powerful than delivering a "powerful" speech where there's only one hero and only one message.

[@lucyaguiar9598]

I honestly thought that I was the only one who thought all this stuff when I watched this scene! I completely agree with everything you said... I see so much potential in the chemistry that Donna and Charlie had in just a few minutes of movie, it's almost like they had this silent conversation with just looking at each other! I loved all of this scene in general, but I don't think that the only thing that makes it unique is the dance.

[@7yep4336dfgvvh]

I mean if she's about to get married and she just casually drops all that because oh whoops she likes Charlie now, then what kind of a woman would she be?

[@Fakeslimshady]

[@colerainfan1143]

What a fabulous scene.

[@dontknow-tt1xn]

My God Pacino in this role is so perfect, what an outstanding actor, truly one of the greatest, this scene makes me so emotional from the way he talks to her in the beginning to the way he dances: that look on his face, he really does look blind, it’s amazing; that’s probably the thing i love the most about Pacino, his characters feel so real like you’re not watching a movie.
