I never knew the charm of spring
Never met it face to face
I never knew my heart could sing
Never missed a warm embrace till

April in Paris
Chestnuts in blossom

April in Paris
This is a feeling
That no one can ever reprise

I never knew the charm of spring
I never met it face to face

Never missed a warm embrace till

April in Paris

Whom can I run to?
What have you done to my heart?

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of the song, "I never knew the charm of spring, never met it face to face," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which touch on the idea of discovering something new and realizing the joys of life that were previously unknown. The singer is expressing a sense of wonder and amazement at experiencing the beauty of spring, and the lyrics become more specific as they describe elements of spring in Paris such as chestnuts in blossom and holiday tables under the trees. The line "This is a feeling that no one can ever reprise" is particularly poignant, highlighting the unique and indescribable joy that can come from discovering something new.

The chorus of the song repeats the lines from the beginning, emphasizing the idea of never having known the magic of spring until now. The final line, "Whom can I run to? What have you done to my heart?" suggests that this newfound appreciation for spring may be tied to a particular experience or relationship, leaving the listener to wonder what has brought about this change in the singer.

You definitely missed a big one!
V for Vendetta. When Natalie Portman was dressed up as a sexy girl. And she rolled of the bed, there is a brief moment where you can get a glance under her skirt.
Many many people paused that moment. It was like Basic Instinct.
And it got paused a lot more often than most of the other mentioned scenes.

I remember as a kid watching Indiana Jones when it came out. On the big screen it was almost impossible to miss the fly going into his mouth. I recall thinking, "He's so bad he doesn't even care a fly crawled in his mouth".

Parallaxus

Basic Instinct held the record for most paused for a long time, although I don't know how they could measure that or even realistically speculate on something like that, but on one of the episodes of Conan O'Brien, Conan told Sharon Stone the movie was reported to be the most paused movie of all time so there must a be a statistic somewhere.
I am of the mind that if more guys knew what was in Wolf of Wall Street, it might catch up quite a bit to Basic Instinct.

I'm missing Cabin in the Woods which not only had the whiteboard that is heavily paused but also all the monster cubes where you also want to take a close look to see if you recognize them all.

Phoebe cates wasn't reluctant to film the scene in fast times at ridgemont high she actually says she was open to it and didn't mind and she actually said that in a lot of interviews

Laust Cawz

She evidently was a little
concerned about neighbors
watching from the rooftops.

Probably the most famous paused scene in my generation was the mudslide in Romancing The Stone.

That storm trooper didn't just get to be in Star Wars - he got to play an EXTRA who got NOTICED 😮

blitzem five

No, the stormtrooper extra didn't screw up...the prop guys did. The door was supposed to go up higher, but got stuck.

In basic instinct, she told the director she specifically didn't want that to happen, and no one told her that actually had happened

Chalky

I've still got a VHS copy of Basic Instinct somewhere and that moment where she crosses her legs can barely be seen anymore because repeated pauses wore out the tape.

Too Critical

3y↑8

The pause in those days brought nothing because of the poor pixels of the machine.

Phoebe Cates =Yes
Guy with drinks in JP = No. More likely they paused as the girl got eaten, to see if they could see her inside the mouth.
Iron man with Cap's Shield = No.
I think the computer's vision in any terminator movie is more paused that that. What the Terminator sees. People want to know if it's garbage on the screen, or if the film makers actually put some thought into the data being displayed.

With the Indiana Jones one , originally the fly flew away but Speilberg found it funny so he added a digital fly and made it crawl into his mouth

Twisted

In Fight Club there is more then just Tyler popping up here and there. But as it is said in the film. "He used to place clips of porn in childrens films" Well the ending scene where the credit buildings are blowing up. There is a clip in there of Brad Pitt (Tyler) standing there with Capt. Winky hanging out. My ex-wife pointed that one out to me. Wish I never seen that.

my dad is amazing at pointing out things in movies, for example in one of the indiana jones movies my dad noticed a tiny reflection between indiana jones and a bunch of snakes, there was a piece of glasss between them to protect him lol

That was a well publicized trick when the movie was made.

They didn't mention the "flashing" scene in Mel Gibson's Braveheart (the VCR version; it's been digitalized out of the DVD) or the dragging scene in Rob Roy where Liam Neeson is carted off (in the VCR version as it, too, has been digitalized out in the DVD version.

Alongside Basic Instinct should be Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I'm sure no one took Jessica Rabbit seriously until the taxi accident scene!

I thought for sure that Henry Cavill morphed into Chris Reaves during the scene when he was fighting with the world engine. Maybe it was just my imagination.

Luis M.

7y↑7

My most paused movie moment is when Bilbo goes all evil when he sees the ring on Frodo's neck.

JOE SELF

I would say it's a more pausible scene in Man of Steel when Superman is flying upwards towards the world engine, that they CGI'd in Christopher Reeve's face flawlessly with Henry Cavill's.

Saio89

I can't believe you didn't include the original Ghostbusters film when Sigourney Weaver gets attacked while sitting in the chair. I must have paused that 100 times in my childhood.

Bill Keith Channel

Supposedly Phoebe Cates was not quite 18 when that scene was filmed so some counties have allegedly banned that scene for the VHS/DVD release citing child porn laws.

KelsaRavenlock

you missed the biggest one of all the shower scare scene in national lampoons Vacation. There was actually a problem with damaged rental tapes due to that scene being rewound and paused so much

EE 4 Life

7y↑8

You where spot on with "Basic Instinct" I'm currently pausing that scene right now.

Gareth Lohse

I think that if that is a gravestone that Luke is standing next to and if it was Luke that put it there- then chances are its some sort of personal rememberance to Han Solo since Luke would have felt Han's passing through the Force.

potato otatop

one does not simply miss boromir's pause scene that became a famous meme from LOTR

The Dude

I think there's a possibility the rock Luke Skywalker is standing next to is part of a basic sundial at the site it was filmed at.

Details of Luke's post ep6 movements are easy to come by, just read the books. Sure they're out of continuity now but it's where they're getting everyone else's details from. The only thing we don't know is which details are CHANGED.

Vince Lok

I watched Indiana Jones in an Imax theatre and that fly scene was huge and you couldn't miss it ...

RJ Rodrigues

It's surprising that the Batman v Superman easter egg in Will Smith's movie I am Legend, did not make it into this list.

In the wolf of wall street every scene is a great chance to pause 😏

Jon Stein

Anyone of a certain age will remember the important moment where you had to hit pause in the movie "Airplane."

Terence Kreft

Opening scenes of Barbarella (starring Jane Fonda), if you're a certain age this is what the pause button was invented for.

Noah Hahn

It's actually not a prototype. It's a clock of cap's shield cuz howard (tony's dad ) has build the shield for cap. So it can't be one.

Ahman Douglas

7y↑10

there's a scene in man of steel, where superman is under the terraformer. as he flies up, you can clearly see his face change, and if you play it in slo-mo, he changes into christopher reeves...

Monkimallow

Generally I pause things when they get too awkward/Cringe worthy to continue without laughing or having to take a breath to try and stop some of the embarrassment by association I end up feeling.

Maly Class Productions

The Wolf of Wall Street scene was never paused. It wasn't because there was nothing to pause and see.

I've seen the Force Awakens a few times and never noticed Luke's metal hand until now.

Julianne Moore bottomless scene
in "Short Cuts".

"Back To The Future" diner scene--
when Marty punches Biff,
it's actually Eric Stoltz
(the original actor).

Zackary Madden

For me it was the patriot... slowing going through the scene where the guy gets his head taken off by a cannonball to try and figure out how they did the effect. yup I'm a bit of a geek 😊

Joseph Rivera

Man of Steel, when Superman is in that beam and starts flying toward it to destroy it, if you pause it at just the right moment, you can see Christopher Reeve's face.

Alejandra

The force awakens one is probably the most paused I even paused at that part

Omar Alor

I can't believe I just noticed Luke Skywalker had a metal arm in the last scene!

MrBrothwood

As anyone of a certain age knows,the most paused moment is Barbara Windsor in Carry on Camping!!

Xavier chicha

You forgot to mention wildling girl from GOT although that's a web series 😉

20th Century Fox didn't make The Force Awakens, Disney did.

I think Darth Vader's mask is the most frequently paused scene in Star Wars 7

Gary

#1 paused scene in MoS is when Supe's face is shaped like Christopher Reeve's face under the terraforming thing.

Luke should have taken his lightsaber from Rey using the force at the end of Ep7

There was Bruce Wayne's satellite in Man Of Steel. But also during the final fight, Zod kicks Superman through a semi-truck on which is written the word, Lexcorp. Looks like you missed one Screen Rant, lol.

3:08 , not only that. In iron man 2 he used the exact shield to balanced the apparatus in a sarcastic way which he used to make vibranium!

The fly actually flew away last minute in the Indiana Jones one but they edited it to make the character look even more evil!

Carlos Supreme

4:13 "Man of Steel" also has a LuthorCorp(LEXCorp) name somewhere during the Battle with Zod. In the Gasoline Tankers Superman avoids.

beerborn

In the Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy is holding a german "Panzerfaust" or rocket propelled grenade. The panzerfaust in WWII is not similar to the one Indy is using. They never had the pistol grip and the breech (cone shape located on the rear of the tube). This is clearly an RPG and not a panzerfaust. The RPG came into service in 1961 designed the Russians but had the similarity of the panzerfaust. Definitely a screwed up prop by Steven Spielberg. 3:44

Baron_Shiro

Evidence that Batman vs. Superman was in the works even before the references here can be found in I Am Legend, during the deer hunt scene.

Bulbasaur

my ex was so shocked when I figured out the twist to Fight Club only half an hour into it even though I never seen or even heard of it back then, but if your like me who has a vested interest in psychology and the human mind it is pretty obvious

Gary B

For me it was the explosion in the final scene of Vanishing Point. Spoiler: no..., watch it yourself.

It’s weird remembering back when people were analyzing the gravestone next to Luke

Echo Hill Seeds

How could you not add Wild Things? The shower scene where you can see Kevin Bacon's junk.

bill1usmc

Phobe Cates surpasses all others by an order of magnitude of 1000. I personally paused that movie 189,792,001,289 times, and wholly contributed to the demise of VHS. 😂😂😂😂

The Last Jedi - Isn't it ovbious? The ominous stone is the middle finger pointed right at the audience.
In the second one it's not that suddle; the hole movie is a middle finger pointed right at the audience.

Swirlspot Kitty

I should have expected it, but they didn't include that one scene in Frozen where Anna punches Hans in the face and he falls off the boat. Seriously, it's not even recognizable as a face!

Jeffrey J

Pretty sure Sharon Stone is number one. It's not everyday you get beaver.

Any Guy

Not my most paused overall, but at least he hit it right on Phoebe Cates. :-)

Andrew Twohig IV

3 Men and a Baby has the most paused popular movie scene ever. Basic Instinct is #2.

Don Chako

Disappointed they didn't include Arnold's first entrance in terminator & will Smith falling from the water tower from wild wild west

Ritwik Anand

Guilty as charged....We all have tried to pause the Basic Instinct scene to take a glimpse. Back then on CD quality it was difficult. lol

Laust Cawz

I've paused WAY more times
on Jennifer Jason Leigh's Stacy
than Phoebe Cates's Linda
in "Fast Times...".

Bonus Man of Steel: During the fight between Superman and Zod, Supes gets thrown into a Lexcorp truck then explodes. Its a lot faster of a sneak in than the Wayne satellite.

i just spotted that Lukes metal hand that touches R2 is different to the one in the end scene of episode 7. Interesting.

Yeah I spent like a half hour pausing that Wolf of Wall Street scene😂

3:40 The fly didnt actually go into his mouth, for anyone wondering. It flew off, but it got edited to make it seem like it actually did fly into his mouth :D

If you pause "Man of Steel" at any one point, you lengthen the amount of your own suffering.

3:12 the true easter egg in that Iron Man scene is that Tony Starks breaks the 4th wall by saying, "this isn't the worse thing you caught me doing" <- If you know RDJ's history then you'll know what I'm talking about.

Ishamoridin

I somehow doubt they actually bothered finding out whether anyone's paused at any of these scences.

bwtv147

You missed the shower scene from "Porky's".
BTW Robbie is wearing panties in the Teddy Bear scene in "Wolf of Wall Street"". The most paused scene is when she enters the bedroom for the first time.
