CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro) disrespects Michael (Richard Romanus) by refusing to pay him back.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
"You don't make up for your sins in church; you do it in the streets; you do it at home. The rest is bulls--t, and you know it." Returning to the autobiographical milieu of his 1968 debut Who's That Knocking at My Door? for his third feature, Martin Scorsese examined the daily struggles of a wannabe hood to keep his morals straight on the streets of Little Italy. Driven equally by his wish to become a respectable gangster like his uncle (Cesare Danova) and his desire to live his life like St. Francis, Charlie (Harvey Keitel) takes on his energetically unhinged friend Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro) as his own personal penance, intervening to get Johnny Boy to pay off a debt to the local loan shark Michael (Richard Romanus). Despite his promises to his epileptic girlfriend Teresa (Amy Robinson) that they will move out of Little Italy once he strengthens his position in his uncle's world, Charlie's involvement with Johnny Boy further ensnares him in the neighborhood. When Johnny Boy decides to mouth off to Michael rather than pay him, Charlie, Johnny Boy, and Teresa try to flee Michael's murderous anger (and an assassin played by Scorsese), forcing Charlie to realize that the rules of the streets do not mesh with absolution. Whereas fellow "film school generation" director Francis Ford Coppola transformed the Hollywood gangster movie into metaphorical epics about the Mafia and capitalism in The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974), Scorsese revised the genre in the opposite direction, focusing on the gritty minutiae of daily life and drawing from personal memory. Combining documentary-style realism (even though most of the film was shot in L.A.); kinetic editing and camera movement; and expressionistic lighting, angles, and film speed, Scorsese presents an intimate picture of the trivial incidents and latent violence of Charlie's and Johnny Boy's world, naturalistically unfolding their experiences rather than simply explaining what motivates them. They lead a claustrophobic, petty existence that Scorsese and screenwriter Mardik Martin witnessed growing up in Little Italy, complete with a soundtrack of hit songs like "Be My Baby" and "Jumping Jack Flash" that had poured out of neighborhood radios. Mean Streets opened at the New York Film Festival to excellent notices and played strongly in New York but failed to duplicate that level of business elsewhere. Even so, Mean Streets established Scorsese and De Niro as formidable young talents and marked the beginning of a long-running and fertile collaboration that continued in such films as Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), The King of Comedy (1983), and Goodfellas (1990). Scorsese's exceptional grasp of the texture of day-to-day life, the rhythm and cadences of street talk, and cinema's visual and aural possibilities makes Mean Streets one of the pivotal films of the 1970s, as well as of Scorsese's career, and an influence on such future filmmakers as Spike Lee and Quentin Tarantino, among many others.

This movie gets categorized a lot with Goodfellas & Casino. Kind of like a Scorsese trilogy. The Departed fits in better with Casino and Goodfellas. This movie is a lot more like Taxi Driver. Not in plot but life and people in New York in the mid 70's.

EL34BluGlo I agree. Scorsese fan for decades. Saw Departed and Casino in the theater. Both major disappointments; Irishman far exceeds them, but it’s even amazing for me to have lived long enough to see Mean Streets - long considered one of Scorsese’s great films - to be underrated compared to the DiCaprio collaborations. It shows the extent to which the 80s - with its flash, budgets, and distractions - won the film war.

[@gommel8780]

@@spb7883 I wanted to like The Departed, it's not that its bad, just not in a class with Mean Streets. Nicholson was a casting mistake, Ray Winstone would have been much better in the role. Di Caprio- idk, I don't see what others see in him.He's not in the same league with Pesci or Keitel.

[@ThePeoplesElboww]

I didn’t know that! Where did you read that?

[@time558]

@@ThePeoplesElboww "… I later read The Playboy Interview with Scorsese and he mentioned a story about another crew that had flocked to see Mean Streets. He said that while filming Goodfellas, Henry Hill told him that he and Paul Vario’s son had seen Mean Streets and loved it. They saw Paul Vario, who was a capo in the Lucchese crime family, and urged him to see the film. Vario, who rarely went to the movies, gave in and saw the film. Vario, who would years later be portrayed by Paul Sorvino in Scorsese’s Goodfellas, called his crew together and instructed them to see Mean Streets. Vario, a man of few words, simply told his astonished crew, "It’s about us." From Paul Davis On Crime "My Crime Beat Column: Martin Scorsese's Film World of Crime".

There's a reason why Michael will always be small time. He don't know how to actually squeeze people. Money isn't the only form of payment, jackets and shoes work well as do other forms of property.

[@mercoid]

Yes... as a way of shaming and depriving a person who won’t pay up. It also serves as a reminder that you can, if it comes down to it, take much more ie: hurt them. On the practical side however.., articles of clothing won’t recoup your money. Especially not in this case, where adjusted for inflation today, Johnny would owe Michael somewhere around 12k.

Harvey Krisel, Robert De Niro and two actors from the Sopranos. Unbelievable

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

Fun Fact: Michael is played by Richard Romanus, the brother of Robert Romanus, who played Damone in Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Listen close -- they have the exact same voice!

@@TheKitchenerLeslie OMG they Do!! Only his brothers seems a lot younger. I read somewhere that DeNiro wasn’t crazy about him and broke his stones while making the movie. Because he wasn’t a true born and bred New Yorker?

@@anthonyD2365 Knowing De Niro, he was staying in character. If you watch that scene in King of Comedy where Jerry looks legitimately like he wants to kill Rupert, it's because De Niro would say the most horribly antisemitic things he could think of before the camera would begin to roll just to piss Jerry off.

DeNiro's character in this movie is the very definition of a crazy insane New Yorker, essentially this total, unhinged lunatic (makes me look sane & stable by comparison!)!

When you got hit about those 10 dollars he sounded like he just went straight up New Orleans!!lol

[@johnw8984]

this kind of stuff that they're talking about was what Jimmy Cagney talked about when he received the AFI award "the touch of the gutter" that makes what he's saying seem so realistic and vulgar and foreshadowing the last scene.

The novel The Ghost of Little Italy is about Mr. Scorsese and The Kenmare Street murder. Great read

Best. Movie scene. Ever!

It's a good ten daaahluss

I remember an old interview with Richard Dreyfuss. After he saw De Niro in Mean Streets he asked, "Who IS this guy? And when will he get hit by a bus!"
