Lindy Hop Scene from Malcolm X

wicked :D

this scene was absolutly fabulous.....the dancing alone should have gotten an oscar

Say Roseland!


ROSELAND!

anybody remember that part?

who sing this song?because im fin to try to bring this lindy dancing and swing dancing back.

People looked like they had fun back then..besides techno music has the same elements as swing did, people just don't realize that nowadays.

Not meaning to be a negative Norbert or anything but it don't swing for me. The song is breathtaking but the dancing is a bit hammy and there's no sort of bounce or jump or swing to the dancefloor. There. I said it.

Number is called "Flying Home", derived WW2
when GI's looked forward to flyin' home to the good old USA. Band is supposed to be
Lionel Hampton and baby Spike Lee has hit it dead on. What a great scene. Now tell me, does this swing? or DOES THIS SWING?
Lionel lives again, God bless 'em. The arrangement is scary its so perfect. Now boys and girls check out Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Chick Webb, Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller,
Count Basie. Its better than sex.
Can you tell I love this stuff?

What is this song called and who is it by?

GREAT MOVIE! GREAT SCENE! they copied this scene in "mona lisa smile" and it wasn't nearly as good.

He's trying to excape from the big woman throughout the scene. That's part of the scene.

Spike's Lindy is no better or worse than anybody else's in this clip with the possible exception of Denzel's

I ment to say his Lindy S**ks , he as a person doesn't S**k , but his Lindy does :)

spike lee does not S**k !!!

If Alex Haley really saw the serious and dignified Malcolm X stand do a little lindy hop in his kitchen as they were writing the autobiography, I would give anything to be able to have seen that.

eh glitz and glamer along with segregation and murder these days may not be better but they are better than that...those times werent that good.
