The theme of this great movie is a person's desire to "make it" in any genre, music, acting, sports can become so desperate, you really believe in a talent you never possessed.
@@ricedumpling3987 - And don't forget the character who is punishing himself for killing his brother in a duel in The MIssion. And his small part in Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
The look on Sandra Bernhard's face when she says "Hi Jerry" ha ha ha. Slays me every time. What a pair of psycho's, with those sunglasses old folks wear over their eyeglasses, as their disguise. Pure comedy gold. One of the best films of its time. Scorsese's overlooked masterpiece.
The butler is the guy who played Uncle Benny in Lethal Weapon 4 - he really couldn't get the prop door open and Lewis really did get annoyed. Scorsese thought it was funny so he left it in the film instead of re-shooting the scene.
@@SDRockman Shit like that used to happen all the time. If you look up "Lennon wandering fan" you can see the same situation play out in real life, where some random guy just went to his house, convinced he had an intimate connection with him through his songs.
@@Anxiathy I've seen that, but this is a film we're talking about here. Guy is talking about some FICTIONAL character behaving in a certain way and the reason for that is because it's a film, but he is talking about his actions as if it was an actual event, he thinks that he's living in a movie/anime...
I love how Pupkin's fantasies about Jerry revolved around his Big TV persona (naturally) but the real Langford is a grumpy terse reclusive businessman.
When it came out, no one knew what to make of it. It's more relevant know than ever before. A scathing expose in fame, and those who desperately want it.
"Did anyone ever tell you, you're a moron??" "You know Jerry I wanna tell you something, ordinarily I wouldn't allow anybody to speak this way about Rita but since it's you, I know you're only kidding!!!!" So fucking funny and totally makes you feel embarrassed for them!!!!
This movie really is an analogue to Taxi Driver. This excruciating scene with Rupert inviting his "girlfriend" to Jerry's house mirrors the scene where Travis takes Cybil Shepherd's character to the porno movie theater. Their characters are so oblivious immersed in their delusional fantasies that they cannot even form the most basic connections with people and the audience can only cringe in embarrassment and shame for them when it all comes awkwardly crashing down.
I wondered the exact same thing ; was that to show that DeNiro was partially right about her when he was being condescending to her and insulting her earlier? Maybe it's something she herself brought to the house?
@@nemgyuri he was just a bit condescending to her when talking to Jerry although Rupert did say a girl like her doesn't get a chance to meet a guy like him (Jerry) often or something along those lines ,
Acted like what? Like he was breaking into someone's house that he was obsessed with? That's doesn't even make any sense. He's the president, it's his house.
Rupert: I can take a hint.
Me: No, dude. You can't. You really can't.
That's one of the funniest lines in this movie. That, and "SO DID HITLER!"
Rupert Pupkin was a desperate, sad, and tacky character. It's painful to watch this movie, yet it is excellent.
I presume there are many Pupkins out there looking for the next relevant victim to fulfill their own interests... Devastating.
We can always count on it!

Lmao Robert De Niro is a freaking legend! I like how he’s making himself right at home in Jerry’s house when he’s a intruder on private property.
He got lucky that he didn't at least get arrested.
De Niro really is an insane actor.
I cannot believe this is the same guy who was Jake La Motta or Travis Bickle.
Fabisch Factor Yessss!!!!!!! He's AMAZING!!!! He's a true 🌟STAR!🌟
Well, not to mention..that Deniro can make a completely amiable guy, so terrifying, is attributed to being a great actor
and Vito Corleone as well
Deniro supposedly had to take 7 years off working with Scorsese after making this film because he was so emotionally exhausted.

I’m so glad Scorsese didn’t “correct” that. I’ve always loved his struggle with the door - makes a great scene even more brilliant.
Wow Lewis is an asshole.
Man this guy actually believes in his mind he’s friends with Langford. He just shows up at his house and makes himself right at home. Crazy.
You talk about it as if this event actually happened instead of it being a scene from a film.

@@SDRockman - That just means the movie was really well done.

This is one great piece of filmmaking and such a superb slice of pitch black comedy that was so ahead of its time...
Jerry Lewis is AWESOME!!!
My favorite Robert DeNiro performance.
It’s certainly his most impressive.
When it came out, no one knew what to make of it.
It's more relevant know than ever before.
A scathing expose in fame, and those who desperately want it.
Marty Scorsese has gone on record to say that this is the best performance De Niro under his direction.
That nervous twitch De Niro does at 3:14 is why he is one of the greatest.
"Did anyone ever tell you, you're a moron??"
"You know Jerry I wanna tell you something, ordinarily I wouldn't allow anybody to speak this way about Rita but since it's you, I know you're only kidding!!!!"
So fucking funny and totally makes you feel embarrassed for them!!!!
"Will you open the goddamned door?"
LOL
Apparently that was an accident they kept in the movie. Guy really couldn't open it
The way he says it so funny !
Wow, the '70s were crazy! Look at how short those shorts are...
Are you serious? Compared to how short they are now
3:07 So that's where that O&A sound bit comes from...
It's a great Easter Egg from their soundboard use.
Bobby's so great here!
One of the most awkward scenes in movie history!
It took 5 days to film it

Well said.
Funny that Ruppert put himself some limits such as not turning on some music.
The thing I can’t figure out is if the ending is a delusional fantasy or if he really did become a star when he was released from prison.
That's genuinely nutso to think about
He's just having fun
Not to mention being stupid.
3:25 mins, "What's the matter with you?"
No one can say that dialogue like Robert de Niro.
7:29 soundtrack - Ric Ocasek "Steal the Night".
RIP :(
crazy in the coconut
continuity error at 5:33 Lol (Langford's left arm)
No reason to get mad about it
Disciple1000 Ha! Love it!
3:15 de niro is great here. Just a touch of menace breaking through..
De niro is delusional
I'm second-hand embarrassed for this character. Unbelievable.
4:12 I did not understand why this moment is shown to us, has no effect on the plot, is it important anyhow to know that she lifted that stuff?
I wondered the exact same thing ; was that to show that DeNiro was partially right about her when he was being condescending to her and insulting her earlier? Maybe it's something she herself brought to the house?
Maybe just to show she is an opportunist as well, tells she havent seen rupert before etc.
When did rupert insult her?
@@nemgyuri he was just a bit condescending to her when talking to Jerry although Rupert did say a girl like her doesn't get a chance to meet a guy like him (Jerry) often or something along those lines ,
Pupkin however interacting with Jerry is totally normal though lol
It’s cause she’s as much a victim of celebrity worship as Rupert
Peculiar competition between the three, who's less psycho, who's more famous, and who's more worthy...
The balls on this guy..
Sal the stockbroker
superdoobo HaHaHa!!!!!!! From Stern!??! Yessss!! So fucking funny, Good call,man!!!🤣🖤🤣🖤🤣🖤🤣🖤
4:13 I see she took a lil memento.
I wonder has Sandra Bernhard got together with Mick Jagger?
I don't know.
♥️👫♥️👍
😘😍😘👍
6:54 😂
Poor Rita.....
Most awkward scene ever
@carsanookdotcom STOP SPAMMING THESE GREAT VIDEOS ¬¬
Good scene - DeNiro and Lewis are terrfic
DeNiro funnier than Jerry Lewis
Trump must have acted this way when he first walked into the White House.
Can you morons ever stop mentioning him...
@MORE1500: what?
Acted like what? Like he was breaking into someone's house that he was obsessed with? That's doesn't even make any sense. He's the president, it's his house.
@@isaacbruner65 - Technically it's "the people's house."
MORE1500 that’s your president
