    "Yeah, your mom was cooking food for Joe Pesci's character, Bob Deniro, and I think someone else?" Scorsese was very polite to not laugh at him or insult him. You shouldn't possess such ignorance when you are interviewing anybody - let alone a top-notch director about a masterpiece of his.

    • @Whoa802
      @Whoa802 9 ปีที่แล้ว +112

      Ray is horribly underrated in that movie. While De Niro and Pesci are great, the film wouldn't have worked nearly as well without Liotta's terrific performance.

    Wow, his mom was such a natural--knocked it out of the park, especially considering this scene was improvised!!!! I honestly did think & feel sorry for her charter exactly wen her son was killed & I probably did soley because of this exact heartwarming scene. I don't have kids yet so maybe that's why I didn't think @ it in a broader sense as he explains, growing up where he did sometimes people "just never came home" & how at the end of the day everybody is somebody's son.

The fact it was all improvised aside from one line of dialogue is staggering and just goes to show how incredible all of these actors were. Remarkable filmmaking, truly. Mama Scorsese will be greatly missed.

      Wrong. Its a reflection of his character. While he is a no good gangtser, he isnt the cold blooded killer his 2 associates are who havent skipped a beat. He is visually shaken by the Billy Batts escalation and murder and the magnitude of wacking a made man. Meanwhile, Tommy and Jimmy are laughing, joking and eating away. Thats why the movie is a masterpiece. Every scene is fueling the story.
