- Rufus Wainwright sings a little of 'I'll build a stairway to paradise' in the film 'The Aviator'.
I thought it was high time I uploaded a better quality version of this clip. So here it is. I've kept the editing nearly the same. Enjoy!
As always, remember that I don't own this content, it's merely something that I've personally edited and uploaded to give the makers free publicity. I can see whey they would object to that. - Hudba
This movie feels like a time machine viewing into the past. Masterful cinematography, soundtrack, acting, costume design, all of it is so perfectly done!
Scorsese paid homage to the era in the Coconut Grove scenes. The set, casting and acting are flawless.
+garagedancer I agree, a tour de force in cinema of the '20s! Just enchanting! :)
Couldn’t agree more. The scene where Howard and Kathrine fly in the plane was beautifully done. Gives me chills everytime
The singer here, Rufus Wainright, is such an incredible talent. And his story is so compelling and inspirational. An often overlooked diamond in the rough, he is.
Unbelievable set. The cinematography and art direction of this film are just incredible. The sound, the richness and lushness of every scene. Martin Scorsese created a visual masterpiece. Worthy of a iconic personality like Howard Hughes. Loved this film.
Vastly underrated. Oscar voters chose "Million Dollar Baby" over this ... WTF??
@@bkynbiker19this is a great movie but also “A million dollar baby” was great.
Very close call.
Rufus is fantastic!
Gerswhin is better:)
His dad blew him away...
It is much too brief but Rufus Wainwright's appearance here singing the Gershwins' classic is one of the highlights of the picture for me. What great period atmosphere provided by Scorsese and his production designers. I felt transported as few films have managed to accomplish.
I was 13 when the movie came out and watching this in technicolor paronama view in modernday cinema is what made this movie really speacial. its a 3 hour long movie but you won't get bored for a second especially the hell angels filming scene was incrediable
I saw it in the theatre with my fam when i was 12. I was in awe. I became obsessed with Scorsese AND Howard Hughes. I got special permission to do my science fair project on him 😂
Why can't we have classy nightclubs like this today
Same I would love to go to a club like this one day
Not so fun fact: Nightclubs began modeling after the Cocoanut Grove in Los Angeles. In Boston, there was a less plush/swanky club named Cocoanut Grove after the one in LA. They used flammable everything in there, from floor to ceiling. 11/28/42: A fire at Boston's Cocoanut Grove which presumably started by a waiter lighting a fake plant on fire. A whole bunch of badness like locked doors and false exits caused 492 souls. It's still the deadliest nightclub fire in US history and the 2nd deadliest fire in general. After that, Boston enacted a law preventing any new club being named Cocoanut Grove. That fire caused industries to produce less flammable furnishings and all kinds of things. Interesting story, you should read up on it.
I just did read up on it here from you lol, thanks!
Love this movie
I absolutely love this movie! One of my all time favorites just finished it for the first time and it was gorgeous
The swing lady shot though! :O
I live and breathe this type of Roaring 20s music.
SO 20! LOVE THIS VERSION
Underrated movie
Amazing video quality.And a great Leo di caprio actuation...he deserved an oscar for this
Talented Artist Rufus!
Love this song...!!
Name of the song?
"I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" by George Gershwin. From 1922. Nyms.
Maybe a lesser known fact-- Rufus's father Loudon Wainwright III plays the singer in the next Cocoanut Grove scene. I believe it's when where Howard takes out Kate Hepburn for the first time.
That's Vince Giordano's Nighthawks backing up Rufus. They play every Monday and Tuesday night at Sofia's [221 W.46th St NYC]. They are also doing the Boardwalk Empire soundtracks these days
Rufus absolutely crushed this scene and song, granted, neither me, my parents, or my grandparents lived any vaunted lifestyles in Manhattan or LA during the roaring twenties through the rest of the pre war period, but from everything else I’ve listened to and seen, this feels and sounds authentic, and even if it doesn’t (as judged by a true authority on the subject...) it does feel real to me...
This move made me fall in love with that song and with Rufus Wainwright. You should hear him do the whole song, the Gershwin masterpiece.
I grew up on the music of Loudon Wainwright III, so I am happy to listen to his two very talented children, Martha and Rufus.
Great soundtrack, and this is the highlight
@@bkynbiker19 true!
It’s nowhere to be found :(
@@2B_827 it’s available in the USA. If you download a vpn and switch it to USA you’ll be able to hear and/or download that song. That’s what I did.
Good luck!
Btw ProtonMail comes with a free vpn.
@@1DaTJo thanks!
TheGuy That Dances On Stage During ErrollFlynn's FightScene...is a Mad-Man!😜
I’ve often felt that Rufus himself was often felt like a throwback to the 1930’s/40’s crooners/singers period, so no wonder Scorsese cast him as a nightclub singer from that era.
Many thanks!
Just put this movie on and knew that voice -immediately!- thanks for the confirmation
Thanks!!
Lesser known fact: Rufus's father, Loudon is the singer in the next Cocoanut Grove scene. The scene where Howard takes out Kate for the first time I believe.
God I love Gershwin
Id love to go back in time and go to a Hollywood party in the 20s no alcohol but weed was legal .
Dude, if you seriously think that there was no alcohol at parties in the 1920s, you must not know anything about the 1920s. Everyone was getting hammered in those days, it's one of the main aspects of the '20s culture. Prohibition did not put a dent in alcohol consumption.
And cocaine to, it wasnt made illegal till 1914, but massive quantities of Coca and Opium products were still available with little legal enforcement of the ban.
Same wish I could have witnessed these
Micheal Bubble can stick it! This is MY kind of gig! /:D
Reminds me of Cuphead.
They removed the full studio version of this song from CZcams. Can't find it anywhere.
Man. I wish there was a reupload of the full song
The Alex Mendham orchestra did a fantastic cover of this, which is on their album and also might just be on CZcams, too 😉
@@SAHBfan fire
So hard to find this version of the song anywhere.
Ikr
0:26 How did she even get up on that thing?
If you look closely you can see Jack Nicholson in the crowd
I also think about the ending scene of The Shining while watching this
Why isn’t this song available on Apple Music or Spotify? Why can’t the original recording be found on CZcams? Anyone know?
What does the chorus shout in the background? It might be "play that thing"? "shake that thing"?
What would tom hardy do in this dinner chit chat
Are they still at Sofia's??
Sofia’s closed years ago, before the pandemic the nighthawks were playing Monday and Tuesday nights at a NYC restaurant called the iguana
Very dramatic when she sings
He builds a stairway to heaven? What matter of satanic ideology is this
Paradise, not heaven. Robert Plant was the guy who was responsible for the one to heaven.
@@ambercoley9170 But it was a she in the song, she's buying a stairway. So it's not Robert Plant's fault, it's not even the mysterious woman's fault. It's whoever sold it to her, that bastard Satanist.
Too fake I wouldn't be able to stay
