Five Heartbeats

I offer you one of my favorite scenes from an old movie from 1991. In this scene, the central characters had been set up to fail and it looked like they were about to go down for the count.

Then... from the ashes, they come back with a vengeance. Uplifting, funny, and reminiscent of the kind of friendship that will persevere through any adversity. Some of you might even recognize one of your favorite characters from Dollhouse as well.

The Five Heartbeats

Loosely based on the real life story of The Temptations, this is the scene that I invariably go back and REPLAY again and again.

I hope that you can enjoy it with me.

I love Robert Townsend, I loved the Temptations, and I loved this film. The women in the audience are a hoot (and take me back to my own adolesence). Re: Harry Lennix, I didn't recognize him from this movie when I started watching Dollhouse & I certainly didn't know that he could sing. Seeing celebrities in their "first breaks" appearances is always so fun. Thank you!

Didn't see the movie - now it's on Netflix - got to see the lead up to this scene! (that girl having an orgasm - or a seizure - in the front row is so hilarious!).
