[@MrRustyspot]

That injection of the didgeridoo and the aboriginal chants into this song turns this in an absolutely unforgettable and MAGICAL 2 minutes and 20 seconds of moviemaking

[@jeromemichael397]

Exactly!

[@anhdungvision2759]

This was always my favorite part! The music fusion and the two groups getting together. It makes me smile every time. 👇💪

[@nina1522]

"I've got an ideeeaaa!" I love that line, and I love the didgeridoos and the chanting at the end

[@truthseeker000000]

Absolutely love this movie! So ahead of it's time! So funny too! Love the didgeridoo, stick beating and Aboriginal singing blended with I Will Survive.

[@hopebgood]

+tvee Yeah, love this. :)

[@MissJools11]

I love it too, it's my 2nd favourite movie of all time, behind Grease!!!

[@eugenedanker2377]

Yes, this is the best part of that scene.

[@mikefisher8531]

I have been looking, for YEARS, for that version of the song.... it’s nowhere to be found....

[@blueskye6372]

Love it too. 🎼🎵🎶🎬📽️🙂

[@LatinaLadyInSydney]

this is the best adaptation of the classic Gloria Gaynor music piece with the aboriginal music! ... wish it was on iTunes!

[@AndyCigars]

Last night I was visited by the ghost of Gloria Gaynor. At first I was afraid...I was petrified...

[@GypsyFairy85]

What ghost? Gloria's still goin' strong.

[@AndyCigars]

***** it was a joke. Get it? Ghost...I was scared, petrified...song lyrics ?

[@GypsyFairy85]

Just had to make sure that there isn't a rumor going 'round that ol' Glory has bitten the dust. LOL!

[@DirkjeA]

Oh this is not only funny, but also very touching, there were so many moments in this movie I felt like crying and than I found myself cracking up with laughter another minute. Well, I guess only a great movie does that for you, isn't it?

[@Scallycowell]

Honestly my favorite part of the movie. Up to this point society has shit on our main characters simply for being gay and they find fellowship in the Aborigines, people who's entire history since European colonialism has involved being shit on for simply existing. It's an absolutely beautiful scene that makes me tearfully happy every time. ♡♡♡

[@hankys777]

I have never thought if it like that before thats pretty cool

[@christibown8723]

Indigenous people of many countries have accepted LGBTI people openly. There is a lesson to be learned. And yes, one of my favourite movie scenes of all time - love the combination of Gaynor and the didgeridoo - fantastic!

[@devinpeirce7152]

James Bootywolfe oh mary , don't cry

[@lastbreathsigh]

Unfortunately real-life LGBT Aboriginal people don't often find the sort of acceptance in their own communities shown in the film. Homophobia is rife in the indigenous community, and many Aboriginal youths are kicked out of home for being gay. A lot even end up committing suicide.

[@carolineeising717]

Yes, in many parts of aboriginal culture non-binary genders have been accepted for a long, long time. But unfortunately homophobia was introduced by Christian missions, so now some places are just as homophobic as white cultures.

[@ididntbitem]

This was always my favorite part! The music fusion and the two groups getting together. It makes me smile every time.

[@Mrtriumphchopper]

My absolutely fav movie.Costumes and lighting are superb. Wish they'd do another soon!

[@alelooooooya]

I simply cannot get enough of this movie. :D

[@inherewithus]

Don't asked me why but it moves me to tears.

[@adiadrian7961]

because it's fabulous.

[@graceskerp]

Because it's about love, acceptance and always being fabulous. You go girls.

[@fransguerra]

Standing Christ because is about tolerance and how the world is lacking it. To accept yourself doesn’t matter what. I love this movie.

[@SeliahK]

Same here! EVERY single time.

[@franfernandez6113]

You're not alone on this one ... me too!,

[@sarapiper385]

One of my favourite films❤

[@lagoonguy]

my girlfriend just showed me this. how did i miss this movie? it's epic

[@colinmickelo7610]

I love this song so much. They need a copy of this on Spotify I wanna hear the didgeridoo and Aboriginal elders xox #LOVEWILLWIN

[@reneemorgan9184]

Hugo Weaving is so animated! Love it!

[@Stefanthenautilus]

Yeah, I got introduced to Stamp through the film The Limey, Pierce through LA Confidential, and Weaving through all of the films you mentioned. It was a big revelation to see all of these serial badass character actors hamming it up and having a great time with these flamboyant characters. Made me love them so much more.

[@jaspersmommy1347]

I have been familiar with Terence Stamp since the 70's but this movie was my introduction to both Hugo Weaving and Guy Pierce. One of my favorites!

[@eveydel]

hugo is just brilliant as anything

[@eugenedanker2377]

This was such an amazing movie. Took everyone by surprise and is now a classic.

[@1974Asha]

shows Weavings true versatility as an actor! Awesome film, with awesome performances from ALL involved!

[@manramen]

This scene is still a fav of mine, and shows how with a little addition, one can take a song and make it better than it already was :)

[@Parramatta84]

No matter if you're straight or gay, black or white...enjoy soul music!

[@hlywdplayer]

This film is nothing short of brilliance ,LOOOOOOVED it ,and these costumes -scratch that--ALL the costumes were fabulous (especially the flip flop shoe dresses )i remember at the Academy Awards the costume designer wore a dress made up of old American Express cards dipped in gold paint...too clever !!

[@AlexaCastrato]

YESS. Agent Smith, General Zod, and the man from Memento as drag queens. I LOVE IT. This movie is utterly amazing.

[@mrmaciejm]

I love that move... i think it was fabulous.

[@mariajonsson8992]

Absolutely the no 1 movie in my collection!

[@Gilbarwaters]

I love this movie. I can watch it over and over again. Very well made and great actors, plus great music.

[@jc6594]

Happy 55th Birthday Hugo Weaving

[@sergio_botero]

I will survive, Mr. Anderson...

[@5-1-2ricers9]

Sergio Botero ah I see you are a man of culture as well

[@amihan99]

That's lord elrond to you

[@pgs5719]

I love the Aborigine chants at the tail end of the song and so appropriate for those performers out there in the Australian outback.

[@anitamacedo6302]

[@clairmatinaustralia]

[@RoodleBerry]

Fabulous!

[@ivaldelli]

Ah Priscilla! I discovered this film several years ago at the cinema because all others were fully booked, and it was a magic and surprising night.

[@blueskiesvelvet]

I am not able to listen to this sony anymore without seeing and hearing this in my mind. And I don't mind at all. This movie is a classic.

[@Stefanthenautilus]

Love that they added the didge and the Aboriginal chants over the song by the end. Just the cherry on top of a genius scene.

[@MsSarjen]

This is my absolute favorite part of the film. What costumes!!! Sigh!

[@amyminchinhills]

My absolute favourite version of this song. The didge gets me EVERYTIME.

[@rausis]

The best version EVER!!!

[@RoseTyler69]

Brilliant!

[@butterfly7171]

[@pokexplosion21]

Wow, the didgeridoo really complements the song, doesn't it? That's amazing. Proud to be Aussie.

[@Damianplaza]

[@illusionsfan1]

I love love LOVE this movie every time I watch it it's like it's brand new and shiny as if I'm seeing it for the first time. I also find Hugo Weaving strangely attractive in this movie lol and of course Guy Pearce but he is actually already a good looking guy lol.

[@Lauren_Nicks]

Always think of this when I hear the song and also a bit of Fear Street

[@kinomotoandli]

[@valentinperalta7539]

Es maravilloso escuchar los instrumentos y voces nativas en esta extraordinaria canción.

[@2000everett4]

Great movie, one of my favs. I'm usually an attention to detail person and I have seen this scene approx. 50 times, but I never noticed what looks to be Terrence Stamp tripping at the end. (Maybe its the heavy hat or the fact their feet are enclosed inside the costume). :) pretty funny stuff.

[@jackreviewsmusicals]

Agent Smith, transsexual General Zod, and King Edward VIII doing a song and dance number in drag. That is awesome--both in theory and in practice.

[@vincentvarkor]

V and Red Skull

[@yescanauta]

And V for Vendetta

[@percyblakeney3743]

Reincarnation is funny that way.

[@mlpbahs]
