_I guess you could safely say that things haven't gone so well tonight. But I'm trying Lord, I'm trying._ That's my favourite line in the movie. The way he makes that understatement really has a comedic effect for me.

[@nickperez915]

He’s basically lost control of his situation and the only thing he could do was give himself a little perspective and reassurance, love that line.

[@nickyjames1985]

What are ya talkin yaself?

[@CMRedford]

The song is called Steppin' Out. The version that appears in this video is performed by Cream (E. Clapton on lead guitar) in concert. You can find it in the 1972 Live Cream Vol II cd. John Mayall's Bluesbreakers (not bluesbusters lol!) did also a cover of this song (also featuring Clapton on guitar) back in the sixties, but its not this version.

[@bradmacarthur3810]

I think Tony told Michael where Charlie and Johnny were planning on going. At least he told him they were driving his car. Tony was the true gangster in this brilliant film; and he knew Johnny Boy had to go.

Was that Martin Scorcese doing a cameo as a hitman?? He had a tendency of doing cameos in a few of his films; in "Taxi Driver", he cameoed as one of DeNiro's fares, talking about how he was going to kill the guy who was doing his wife etc.,etc. It looks like a young Scorcese playing the hitman...anyone???

[@SirParanoidAndroid]

[@silversnail1413]

He wasn't a boss, he was a two-bit punk. That was exactly why Johnny Boy ripped him off so many times, because he wasn't respected. Also, Michael's attempt to kill Johnny Boy caused a lot of damage and also led to Charlie getting hurt. He caused a huge mess over a lousy debt that he could have collected much earlier if he was actually good at the job. He was almost definitely killed by the bosses in retribution for this. You can even see his worried expression at 4:44 in the video. He knows he messed up big time and he's going to pay for it.

[@stevennieto9898]

He did everything BUT act like a real mob boss. 😂

[@nickperez915]

These guys were just thugs, sure they had tie ins with the mob but in the end they weren’t gangsters, just a bunch of tough guys doing what they want

I always thought Amy Robinson (who played Teresa) was great! I know (after reading IMDb) that she went on to be more behind the scenes, but she had a realistic everyday look and the role seemed natural to her.

[@Snowbag1998]

brilliant analysis ..never noticed this one in the opening of the movie.

[@jmeds94]

So I watched this movie for the first time last night and I don’t exactly get the implications of the ending. I understand it’s supposed to be somewhat ambiguous but can someone help clear me up? So Johnny Boy is either going to die or will barely survive and if he does he’ll be in jail and his relationship with Charlie and Teresa will be ruined. They’ll clearly never be the same, but Charlie and Teresa still love each other so I think they’ll be alright even if Charlie goes to jail for something. I was on the edge of my seat to see if Teresa would be killed and was relieved when we see that she’s alive. If she had died though it may have made for a better ending idk. It would have been more bitter and tragic, but idk if that’s what Martin was going for exactly. He may not have wanted things to be that bleak for Charlie. What was the point of the black dancer girl that Charlie sorta had a thing for? Was it to suggest that he maybe doesn’t care for Teresa as much as we think? We get one shot of her lighting up a cigarette, I guess just to show that she’s a part of the story. How can we expect Charlie’s uncle to react to this incident since he told Charlie to stay way from them? And is there anything else I’m just missing? All the same, it’s a great slice of life regarding Little Italy and what the city was like at that time. The movie also has a terrific social commentary on the lengths you’re willing to go to for your deadbeat friends.

[@rayhairston7582]

I don't think you missed anything. Some movies leave us wondering, such as life leaves us wondering. A possible interpretation of the black girl at the end is to show that he could be somewhere else, living with his own decisions rather than being there and weighed down by someone else's bad decisions. Idk, I've seen it a few times over the years and never really thought about it until reading your comment

[@jmeds94]

Ray Hairston Ah, yeah that makes sense. Thank you. I feel like if there’s any off-the-Wall details in movies it must hold some kind of significance- even if it’s just to make you think. Otherwise why would they be put in there? It makes you put yourself in the director’s shoes almost. Kubrick’s movies had plenty of that. Same with Nolan and Tarantino. Do you have any movie recommendations for what I should watch next?

[@rayhairston7582]

I've tried to watch as many "classic" movies as possible. I love Bogart, Paul Newman, Cary Grant, Clark Gable etc. Too many to recommend but I think "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" or "Who's That Knocking at My Door?" are safe bets to recommend. Funny, those titles rhyme and could actually be used together as dialogue, but I digress. I tried to watch Raging Bull but I wasn't immediately drawn in, I remember it having many great scenes so I'll try to watch it again sometime. "Tender Mercies" is a film that I'm glad I was able to see. "Malcolm X" if you get the time, Denzel, Spike, etc. were remarkable. Do you have any recommendations?

[@jmeds94]

Thanks I’ll check those out! If you like Paul Newman you’ve probably already seen this, but “Cool Hand Luke” is one of my all time favorites. If you’re making your way through the classics I’d recommend all of Hitchcock’s stuff- (Psycho, Vertigo, the Birds, Rear Window). If you’re looking for quality newer movies I’d highly recommend Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” it is oh-so satisfying. Scorsese’s newest one “The Irishman” I wasn’t a huge fan of. You already knew what it was building up to and it just dragged on. I think his best modern flick is “The Departed”

[@rayhairston7582]

@@jmeds94 Yeah, I love Cool Hand Luke. I've seen all of those Hitchcock films, love them! Love James Stewart as well. Never saw "It's a wonderful life", but several others. Vertigo is amazing! I recommend North by Northwest if you haven't seen it. I love Tarantino, Jackie Brown is a must see. I was on the fence about "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood" but now I'll definitely check it out. I haven't seen "The Irishman" yet, hopefully soon

In New York, hydrants don't shoot water into the air when you knock them over. New York has "dry" hydrants. Water is kept below ground unless a valve is turned. If the hydrants had water in them up to street level, they'd freeze in the winter. The only places that have "wet" hydrants are places that never freeze, like south florida and southern california.

Well, no one was wearing winter clothing, and there was no snow anywhere. Maybe the valves to the fire hydrants are opened during the spring and summer months in New York. (?)

[@Omerta3000]

Exactly, why would Charlie still pally with Michael and Johnny Boy after the end; in the home movies, it seemed to me like they were having the time of their lives as if nothing bad happened before that. Michael tried to kill Johnny at the end and didn't care if it mean't putting Charlie and Theresa in harm's way, so I doubt that Charlie would still like Michael after that. And I'm pretty sure Charlie wouldn't really like Johnny anymore for the fact that he's the cause of the whole mess.

The location is supposed to be Flatbush Ave in downtown Brooklyn. That is where you end up after crossing the Manhattan Bridge like they did. But for it to be that dark at night I would have to assume it was very late because Flatbush Ave. is a very busy street otherwise.
