Jul 1, 2007 - This wonderful scene has been inspired by the waltz scene in Federico Fellini's "La voce della luna" ("The voice of the moon"). "The fisher king"'s director Terry Gilliam considers Federico Fellini one of his masters.

Jul 8, 2007 - Probabily the most perfect scene Terry Gilliam has directed in his entire career. His first Hollywood film, so he went with something grand and epic, in a rather small film.

Aug 3, 2007 - Ahora me arrepiento pero cuando hice novillos alos trece años ponia en mi cas esta escena una y otra vez en el video. Aún así es una preciosa escena.

Sep 8, 2007 - There is nothing like a waltz to transport you to another world and this scene in The Fisher King does just that. The first time I visited Grand Central Station and walked into the main concourse, I fully expected (in my fantasy ridden mind) for the lights to start and everyone to break in to the waltz...alas, although it was moving being there, I saw no dancing. Love this movie, Terry Gilliam is the best! See Brazil if you haven't yet!

Oct 1, 2007 - Trovo Terry Gilliam un genio creativo senza pari.Questa sua opera e questa scena in particolare sono intrise di poesia pura, di una magia descrittiva che tocca corde interiori, che lascia il Cuore cavalcare le fantasie che custodisce all'interno.E' una esaltazione della vita che si allontana dal grigiore inespressivo e ordinario della massa, che tende tutta verso un pessimismo di base.

DonaldMcKinney Says:
Aug 16, 2008 - Quite simply, the best scene Terry Gilliam has ever directed.

Jan 9, 2009 - The new Burelesque no longer originates in an output of energy by the character, who spreads and grows as before. It arises from the fact that the character places himself (involuntarily) on an energy band which carries him along and which is percisely the movement of the world, a new way of dancing, of modulating: the low frequency wave action takes place of heavy duty mechanics and full blowness of gestures. - from a chapter about dream and dance used as a portal to enter another world.

Jan 9, 2009 - This is a finely tuned subtle magic in the story, a favorite of his work. I came across this writing by Deleuze from "Cinema 2" and I thought about this moment and how perfectly this passage fits.
knotfest Says:
Apr 14, 2009 - Perfect smaltz. Love the incongruous dance pairs, esp. the two nuns. And the choice of Fenton's music. Heartbreaking film, shedeth tears, my lovelies. Dortheysantapezz, are you nuts or nuts.
erniemajor Says:
Apr 19, 2009 - This was a wonderful quotation! so glad that you thought fit to share it :) perhaps 'minimalism' is also another word for :''a new way of dancing, of modulating: the low frequency wave action takes place of heavy duty mechanics''.?

Jul 21, 2009 - get the soundtrack.. believe the title is "grand central waltz"

Oct 11, 2009 - Halo, "My life is divinely planned"! I will always remember this highly moving experience. I danced and was a stand in "ALL NIGHT LONG" at Grand Central Station in N.Y. I'm guessing, Robin Wiliams influenced today because both of my TV Angel programs are completely "Unscripted" and real tele-vision journeys through AngelsAtGodCentralStation reflections of One World, One Dream, In the Spirit of Unity.
