Chicago | ‘Mr. Cellophane’ (HD) - Renée Zellweger, Richard Gere | MIRAMAX 

John C. Reilly should have received an Oscar for this performance. He is one of the most underrated actors of all time.

Wreck-It Ralph is such a good singer.

The final "I'm there" always breaks my heart

I think he's the best, as in the most good character in the movie. Too bad he gets walked over so much.

I couldn’t believe this was John C Reilly. I was shocked that he had such a good voice

thank you. I have been looking for this HD. JOhn C. Reilly makes the perfect Amos and this role of him is one of my fav character play by him. The sadness the agony

Notice how Renee Zellwegger and Richard Gere are the two credited actors in the title, yet this is John C Reilly's song and scene. The underappreciation of the character.... Intentional or coincidence?

Amus deserved better than Roxie, he's my favourite character in this whole movie

He sings so well, I never Knew!

She can leave I'll have her husband any day 💖💖💖

My school is doing this musical right now and My friend Olly is playing Amos and he was killing it on stage today

I love the song but the audience reactions have to be my favorite part.

My favorite number! Love this performance!!!

Amos is that one character who you can't help but feel sorry for. Unlike the rest of the cast, who're either corrupted or criminals, he's just an average guy trying to make a living and provide for his family. It's a shame though that he has an ungrateful wife who tried to use him multiple times and take him for granted. This is the same woman who murdered someone whom she had an affair with, and then let Amos take the fall. But the very moment the cops started to pick apart is story, and Amos realizes that his wife was sleeping with another man, which is the same man she murdered, Roxie called him out by claiming he was a disloyal husband. To make matters worse, when Amos did everything he could to bail his wife out of prison, he discovered that his wife was pregnant and immediately assumed it was his kid. But when Billy, Roxie's lawyer, tells him that the math doesn't add up and that Amos couldn't be the father, he was considering divorce due to the betrayal. And yet, despite all of this, he still remained loyal towards an ungrateful wife... up until she was found innocent for a murder she did commit and revealing that the pregnancy was fake. Seriously, Amos deserved better.

How do I love this even more than I already do? Perfection. He deserved this Oscar.

man im here after watching my high school's rendition of Chicago and when the performers were taking their bows, i thought the crowd was loud for the warden (mama). everyone stood up and SCREAMED for amos, what a manic energy there was

How did he not win all the awards? all the awards!

Most heartbreaking song of the whole movie.

Finally found a good quality on this scene ♥

This was such good casting. He’s such a good actor and he’s also good at being pathetic and likable

I have a theory that this is the only song that doesn't come from Roxie's imagination. It would show how inconseqeuntial Amos is to her.

this is where he really shows his range.

Just outstanding - nails it

What a brilliant voice- blown away. Is this the whole song though...the last chorus was the best bit...?

I love the choreography here too. It conveys the emotion very well.

It's CRIMINAL not to play the entire clip. Shame on Miramax.

He’s like so sweet would actually kill for a dude who loves me that much

bloody love John C. Reilly!

This is how I feel at work

The best Chicago song. IDC WHAT ANYONE SAYS THIS DESERVES AN AWARD

This is so Fosse. Love it!

This is one of the best performances long forgotten.

If someone stood up in a crowd And raised his voice up way out loud And waved his arm And shook his leg You'd notice him If someone in a movie show Yelled "fire in the second row, This whole place is a powder keg!" You'd notice him And even without clucking like a hen Everyone gets noticed, now and then, Unless, of course, that personage should be Invisible, inconsequential me Cellophane Mister Cellophane Should have been my name Mister Cellophane Cause you can look right through me Walk right by me And never know I'm there I tell ya Cellophane Mister Cellophane Should have been my name Mister Cellophane Cause you can look right through me Walk right by me And never know I'm there Suppose you was a little cat Residin' in a person's flat Who fed you fish and scratched your ears You'd notice him Suppose you was a woman wed And sleepin' in a double bed beside one man for seven years You'd notice him A human being's made of more than air With all that bulk, you're bound to see him there Unless that human bein' next to you Is unimpressive, undistinquished You know who Should have been my name Mister Cellophane Cause you can look right through me Walk right by me And never know I"m there I tell ya Cellophane Mister Cellophane Should have been my name Mister Cellophane Cause you can look right through me Walk right by me And never know I'm there Never even know I'm there

Love this performance and arrangement. The song is great and the lighting and shot angles are fantastic but I always listen for wood creaks and sole of the feet drags and noises in live performances. I keep coming back. [edited : I want the FULL performance with context before and after...] Meh...I assumed half way through

He must've gotten the part of STAN & OLLIE because of this! ;-)

Who are the man and woman watching Amos's performance as "Mr. Cellophane"?

I think all of us can identify with being "Mr Cellaphane"

I love this. He is so perfect and for all the comments about how sad this song is, it is a sexy number. He's great. Just wish he didn't have a shirt on. Wow!

Brilliant, he was .....so good 🔥🔥🔥✨

This should be John Cena's theme song

I'm trying to not be in shocked that this is the guy who plays Wreck-it-Ralph...

after you watch this take a look at dr steve brule and weep in confusion

❤❤❤ John C Reilly is great

I only know this song because of my older sister but I love it.

Just realized this was potentially probably an inspiration for Joaquin Phoenix's Joker

The moment you realize he's wreck it ralph.

this is great.

Mr. Bob Fosse approved of this particular number. ❤

how about putting the whole clip .... annoying!!!

Under utilised in this movie.

Ryan!! The prisons are FULL of other criminals!! Go get yourself another one! Have some pride and self respect! All your followers are just wanting to see the train wreck over and over. It’s sad man. 😢

Always remember of kurt

What genre would you call this?

Who's singing?

Is it Reily singing or someone else?

Look up Bert Williams' "Nobody," part of the inspiration for this song, his costume, everything--and way cooler IMO (once you dive deep behind the blackface mask to the representational politics he was shifting in his time)!

This is up there… not my fav to be honest.. and I’m not a diehard musical fan neither.. but I know some of the greats ‘if I only had a brain’, and chum chimney are probs my 2 favs.. love Ewan McGregor in Moulin Rouges ‘your song’ and Elephant Love Melody also.. - and actually not a fan of Chicago at all!! Except this - who’s is brilliant!

This is the song in every show That no one likes because it's boring
