And everybody came to play in that scene.
And you got to love Elton Kohn, because as soon as he saw the movie, he was like, “I always loved that song, ‘Tiny Dancer.’ You understand that song ‘Tiny Dancer!” And he started playing it in his show and he’s never stopped playing it. And it wasn’t even that famous of a song. You know, it’s when you find the point of the whole thing in the corner of the script that you didn’t even realize was quite there.Īnd the amazing thing was that we committed to that song. But man, from the first second we started showing that scene to people, it was the beachhead, it was the thing. And it felt a litle bit like we were on an exotic journey with that short scene. But everyone else was just feeding off the elixir, and we were doing shots traveling from one to the other. The one guy who’s a punk rocker who hates “Tiny Dancer.” You can see two days worth of angst in his eyes as he sang along with that song. Was that two days? I don’t remember, y’know.Ĭrowe: Look at Noah Taylor’s face. Like Kate, I don’t think “you are home” was in the script, right? Wasn’t that an improv as we were shooting? And Billy is there in the front, just kind of way inside of his head, and they’re singing, and you just can’t help but go: “This is the movie! This is everything!”Īnd I talked to the cinematographer and said, “We gotta cover everybody singing ‘Tiny Dancer.’ And he’s like, “Did you hear what the studio told you recently? This is gonna take two days!” And I’m like, “But you feel it, right? You feel it.” He goes, “I feel it.” And I go, “Is it two days?” He goes, “It’s two days.” I’m going, “We got to do it.” And so we did spend two days chasing that feeling and so much greatness happened out of it.
It was like a physical thing when they started singing along, and you could feel all the relationships all in that one spot. It was one of those situations where you just felt it.
