I love that her inner teenager embraces her near the end of the dance and did you know that our teenage self is the age of our immortal body spiritually ~ makes sense !
Definitely deserved more recognition, Ryan. People still look at “An Unmarried Woman” as one of the iconic films of the ‘70s, but I felt like “Living Out Loud” surpassed that one in terms of showing a woman gradually reclaim her sense of self-worth after being abandoned out of the blue.
This is beautiful. It represents letting go and reconnecting with your younger non-jaded self that was once bursting with joy and had a zeal for life. Rediscovering those parts of yourself and realizing everything is going to be okay.
I showed my teenage son this incomparable scene, and asked him if he had any wild guesses as to who the Rachael Leigh Cooke character was. Without missing a beat, he replied, “The younger version of herself.” (i.e., the Hunter character) He was immediately spurred to see the whole film, which he loved as much as I did.
I think there’s an earlier scene, though, where we also see Rachel Leigh Cook as the younger incarnation. I’m not positive, but I think we’re given the heads-up on that.
I got both impressions. That 1. It was her in er self telling herself everything WILL be alright. And 2. The child she’d always wanted to have with her husband, but his selfish ass never wanted to have.
The choreography of the dance sequences is so well done. Really a good funny but bittersweet movie about a breakup and dealing with loneliness. Hunter, DeVito and Queen shine in this wonderful movie.
Do you mind telling me what that involved, John? I saw the nine other women listed in the credits as “confessional dancers,” and I wondered if there was some context I didn’t know about.
@@reedfromermusic8445 Hello, I think the name of the nightclub was the Confessional. But in the deleted scenes, there was a backroom at the club where strangers could sit at tables and confess their darkest secrets to people they did not know.
@@reedfromermusic8445 I will have to go back and watch the deleted scenes again. I think you are right, the same ladies in the dance were in the back room, at least a few of them. I liked that concept, of confessing your secrets to strangers, things you could never tell someone you knew. I think today's online chats can be similar...
@@reedfromermusic8445 Hi, I went back and watched the deleted scene. Holly's character is walking down a dark hall and enters a dark room with tables where pairs of ladies are sitting at talking. Most of the key dancers featured in the club scene are in this scene as well. But only one interview takes place in the scene, a lady named "Sage" sits down across from Holly and tells her story and confesses of an affair. This woman did such a great job, so sad her scene was cut from the final movie. Scene ends, Holly does not reciprocate. Sage is not one of the dancers.
Not someone who uses recreational drugs, but I can see where a little ecstasy, a great imagination, and a room of beautiful women dancing might help me unload my insecurities.
The movie is about a woman trying to find herself, with the help of a lounge singer and her building's doorman/potential boyfriend after her husband leaves her.
@@TheBrooklyndavis - Not sure if this means much, but Holly Hunter's character goes to the club with Queen Latifah's character. QL had given HH some Ecstacy before they went in the club. She said "It'll make you wanna touch everybody!". So when the music slows down, what follows, including the dance scene, is HH tripping on the Ecstacy. So they didn't just break into a dance sequence in the club. It's all in her head. Makes it a more meaningful scene, I think. It really is a good movie.
This scene is sooooo poetic, dreamy and beautifully shot 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Kept the choreography involved enough for the dancers and for Hunter, and it all worked SO well. That ain't easy to do.
I’ve tried, on occasion, to replay the scene 9-10 times in a row - so I could focus on each individual dancer from start to finish.

The opening with Queen Latifah singing Lush Life is fantastic.
Heard this song today on my way to work and was instantly transported into this scene. Love this film so much, especially this scene and this song.
This film deserved a much bigger audience than it got.
It seems like they play this song every Sunday afternoon on WBLS here in NY, and every time I hear it, I do the same thing. 😊
Definitely deserved more recognition, Ryan. People still look at “An Unmarried Woman” as one of the iconic films of the ‘70s, but I felt like “Living Out Loud” surpassed that one in terms of showing a woman gradually reclaim her sense of self-worth after being abandoned out of the blue.
As you should
The brilliance, the spirituality, consciousness knowing itself through these sense organs, the exquisite pain...
I just bought this movie for my birthday. I loved it 23 years ago and today 💗
Where did you buy it?
This song and this scene real do stand the rest of time. Beautiful 💙
My favorite scene in this movie, no doubt. 🙌🏽
I love this scene because she empowered herself and they all kept it classy
That Crowd Was A Vibe.......As A Kid I Thought All Clubs Was Like That 😂
Me too
Were like that
@@rocee1140 Must’ve been nice
This is beautiful. It represents letting go and reconnecting with your younger non-jaded self that was once bursting with joy and had a zeal for life. Rediscovering those parts of yourself and realizing everything is going to be okay.
This song made this scene.
Definitely i totally agree!!!
It totally did..
Added a lot of sensuality to it..
Yes & the choreography
The writer/director wrote this around the song. He picked the song first! That's how much he loved the song!
I agree.
This movie is superb
A completely intoxicating and captivating scene which speaks volumes----with no words uttered. #Goosebumps
One of the sexiest scenes ever
Totally agree, and this is coming from a gay guy!😂
Absolutely beautiful! I still have this dvd. Always been my favorite scene and song my whole life!
This film makes me cry, so good!

I thought I little differently ; that this young woman was the daughter that she never would have from her failed marriage.

Love this movie, and this SCENE was/is FIRE!
Perfect song. Shout-out to Brownstone. ❤
Damn! Holly Hunter is wearing that dress!
My favorite movie and favorite dance scene.
Such a damn vibe. I was lucky enough to see it in a really big theater and I remember Loving the movie, but this scene so much. 💜
Me too, stayed in the theater to watch again.
Same I watched it in Anchorage and cried myself silly as a 17 year old. 42 now. Time has gone by
one of my favorite songs and movie in one shot. respect
The choreography of the dance sequences is so well done. Really a good funny but bittersweet movie about a breakup and dealing with loneliness. Hunter, DeVito and Queen shine in this wonderful movie.
I’d forgotten how much I loved this film.
One of my favorite dance scenes in the movies. I love the entire movie. Clark Anderson singing "Give Me Something Real" is spectacular.
BROWNSTONE love love love
No Instagram Snapchat Facebook Or CellPhones Just Vibes
fav scene from fav movie. love the confessional, cut from final film.

And the same women who “confessed” ended up in the choreographed number with her? (That’s my guess because of how they’re listed in the credits.)

The director did his thing with this.
And the choreographer!
I swear to that's such a hot scene I have to get a reboot every so often! 🔥🥵😊
My mom died unexpectedly and found dead, we danced together and saw this Movie together multiple times
God Bless you both.

TGIF. Just feel like Dancing ❤️🔥. New York Ready Tonite😘
You’re for some other reason I keep on coming back to this every now and then I don’t know what’s Drawling me in
How about the fact that it’s one of the most beautiful and sensuous dance scenes in any film?
I adore Holly Hunter, and one of many reasons is turning me on to this scene and this song.
Wish I could give this a 👍🏼or a ❤ for everytime I watch it. Its my mood 'pick me up'- for'shor
Awesome scene!!
To Love!!!
Bring clubs like this back
Wonderful!
This happens everytime i go into a grocery store.
A younger incarnation of yourself shows up to embrace you?! Damn, I’m envious.
Hahahaha! Me too!
I wish, lol
Hehe. OMG, Jason. I just radomly found you because I was searching for this clip! One of my faves!
I wish I could go back and love myself more.

Not one comment about Rachel? Wildd..
Hot tears
Guess who she was dancing with at the end. I do believe it’s a young Jessica Alba 😁

The precise moment you officially begin volume three of your autobiography.
I WOULD RATHER HOLD POCKETBOOKS!
What is the movie about? Can someone please explain? I love the scene but i dont know the backstory of it.
The movie is Living Out Loud. Watch it, great movie!
@@rayangers5186 thank you so much! I will watch it.
The movie is about a woman trying to find herself, with the help of a lounge singer and her building's doorman/potential boyfriend after her husband leaves her.
