Its not timeless it started in the 20th century post 1st war when women bodies started to become exposed by men in the media. You can see the before and after really well. Women started to use small clothes while men could keep their dignity. Its sexist. Its disguised as ok and timeless but its not its part of a huge trap in a package that bear many things degrading for women.

i mean the step sounds are likely taken out, then added back in by a foley artist to be precise and clean sounding as opposed to squeaking like a basketball court. the "footsteps" may not even be from shoes. could be bricks clacking together. check out what a foley artist is! foley is a really cool and underrepresented part of filmmaking

Fun science fact: This was the actual moment at which the 1960s reached peak groovyness. If things had continued to get much groovier, there might have been a Critical Groove Event, possibly chilling out all life on earth and projecting dangerous waves of groove like, far out into universe, man... Fortunatly, the 70s began shortly afterwards, and rising levels of funkyness were able to stabilize the accumulated groove.
@Ciclopea24 ай бұрын
I unironically love it, not only Fosse's brilliance as a choreographer, it's that 60's swagger infused in their movements, and how Bob painted these pictures that became a cornucopia of intricate shapes the human body can create and how everything flowed and looked harmonious, like kinetic art. If i was a dancer it would be the thrill of a lifetime to perform a Bob Fosse choreo.

Fosse the auteur at work here. This scene serves literally no purpose in the movie - doesn't move the story forward, doesn't include any of the main characters. Fosse was just like, "Yes, I'm gonna have a 6-minute scene to showcase music, choreo, and my dancers - because I want it there." Highly unlikely any director today could get that kind of freedom.

I think you mean, "this scene doesn't develop the plot," not "it serves literally no purpose in the movie." There are lots of great scenes like these in great movies that are like little "story within a story" moments. Especially in musicals - and of course also in novels. They actually do serve to add to the themes of the movies, it's just harder to pinpoint how.

Now I'm 83 its gone. Mrs. Benz want me to sing in the church on base O Holy Night and chickened out. I did have the power to do it but no confidence i was 20 then in the Air Force at Castle AFB.
