"One" - 'A Chorus Line' - Movie Finale
Richard Attenborough's 1985 movie of this long-running Broadway musical came in for a lot of criticism, since it frequently departed from the show's plot, unnecessarily added and deleted songs, and suffered from some mis-casting of the principals. However, the finale was a choreographic tour-de-force of precision dancing, as the number of people on-stage multiplied by the second, all helped by mirrors at the back!

Yes, indeed.
just look at how many talented and gifted dancers...and how many of them really would have chance to stand in spotlight just for once ....art is so competitive and stressful..they really need to have top motivation and passion for it as a career. RESPECT!

Amen! And instead they shared the spotlight together and worked incredibly hard to dance together and coordinate steps. There's wayyyy too much emphasis today on solos, being a soloist and competition. Social media feeds into this mindset. I am much more inspired by groups dancing together for the greater good. That's real talent in my book. 👯👯♀️👯♂️
Ballare questo brano è stato emozionante, ciò accadde a me nel lontano 1987. Solo chi sta sul palco o dietro le quinte, conosce la fatica, i sacrifici per raggiungere questi livelli, ma anche la gioia di ballare di regalare le stesse emozioni a chi ci sta di fronte... Difficile da dimenticare ❤
I had the great pleasure to see it on Broadway! Fantastic!
Этот фильм с молодым Майклом Дугласом шёл в советском прокате под названием "Кордебалет". Тогда ещё были кинотеатры с широкоформатным экраном, на котором фильм смотрелся классно. Сейчас обладатели смартфонов могут его критиковать сколько угодно за всё, что угодно. Он создан был для ценителей ушедшей эпохи, эпохи искусства.
Sadly, I have not been fortunate enough to witness the stage show BUT, I have never seen such co-ordination! The sheer perfection that Bob Fosse brings to his numbers leaves me flabbergasted. Superb.

This is one of the most amazing dance finales in a musical. They outdid themselves in this film. It brought tears to my eye and immense joy. Humans are capable of such talent and beauty. Brings back many fond memories.

You're... kinda missing the point. The point is that they're CHORUS. ANONYMOUS. The leads are unimportant as there are tons of clones of them and they disappear into the fabric. All while singing the virtues of someone else.

It was really a shame that this movie didn't turn out better. I remember it was kind of unbearable to watch at certain points. But this finale is a real tour de force. Notice how the cuts/edits happen precisely on each note. That was incredibly hard to do before digital editing. It must have taken months to put together all the pieces that compose this four minute sequence. Bravo to Sir Richard.
Never tire watching this movie.....CLASSIC.

По-моему, это был даже не широкоэкранный, а широкоформатный фильм. Эффект от танцевальных сцен был в кинотеатре потрясающий.
ya now, this cast is phenomenal...but the finale is not for close-ups, cutie quotes in the score, etc. The power of it is in the collective of the choreo. Just pull the camera back and don't fu-- with it. The final high kicks are spectacular.

I had forgotten how incredibly horrible this was. On stage, it was musical perfection and packed an emotional wallop. This bloated, over-the-top travesty of the original is an embarrassment! The rapid cutting destroyed the flow of the number, and the close-ups and rapid panning of the dancers destroyed the feeling of ensemble, which was the whole point!

Well, it's really about accessibility. The singular copy that seems to exist of the original cast is difficult to watch as it's such poor quality (drop outs, audio issues, fuzzy visual, etc.) that being said, the 1983 record breaking 3389th performance is absolutely breathtaking and electric, even though I've only seen the last number. Seeing over 330 dancers doing the final is insane.

@@hbdragon88exactly. I’m sure the broadway version is infinitely better, but we don’t all have the privilege of seeing the spectacle for ourselves. As far as movies go, this indeed is some fine choreography. I have seen better, but this is among the better ones. I wish the purists would understand that the vast majority of people will never witness the live version, and we have to content with the little tastes we are given.
