@@stevennieto9898 Yep. Michael truly was a jerk off. He could have resolved this whole situation much earlier if he actually had the balls. Instead he pulls a stupid stunt like this, nearly kills Charlie and Theresa, and probably draws a whole lot of heat and attention from the cops, all over a measly debt that he could have collected if he was actually good at his job. He definitely got killed for this lol.
Almost every Scorsese movie has a hothead who pushes and and pushes and pushes until they get what's coming to them. You watch and think "how is this guy not shutting his mouth"?
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!
So what do you think happens to the characters at the end? I always thought that the intro scene from the beginning takes place at the end. Because Charlie gets married, everyone seems happy. De Niro is seen for like one second and looks a little older.
Good call.. The Uncle sees the crash in the movie he was watching, and Michael looks worried at the end. So I believe that Michael eventually gets hit.
Maybe If I recall correctly, we see that in a montage that resembles footage seen on tv right? Perhaps it's because of this, that it could metaphorically be a fiction, the whole living happily. Sort of like the man, near the end, who's watching a film (or an episode of something, forgive the ignorance) depicting basically the same thing that's happening to the characters. But why? Is it to mirror the conflicting duality of reality and religion that is present in the film and in Charlie's character? Because Charlie does shift between these two. Also, marriage is originally a religious process isn't it? At the same time, Charlie sleeps with a prostitute, who is actually, and nicely so, shown to be very human. But why all of this? Maybe just to represent. I just noticed also how people carry the woman (can't remember her name, sorry), as though she her need for money may be bigger, being possibly driven by need into prostitution (can't remember if it is specified); Charlie just sits down, pondering, and De Niro's character walks away on his own. These different cases do sort of represent each of the character's natures. In the end, I don't know.
doesn't make sense tho because charlie is hanging out with michael in the very first scene and if the intro was the epilogue why tf would charlie still be friends with michael
@noahgeorgianna I wondered that too about the ending. Scorsese said in an interview I watched on TH-cam that they're all damned at the end. Meaning that they didn't die, but they might as well of because they're never going to be able to back to the way things were ever again. It will scare them for life that this is the way it all came down to and they'll all be enemies to each other one way or the other, because of the life they are all involved in now with the mob and being street thugs. They'll never be the same ever. I think that was the symbolism of the ending.
Yeah the whole situation they got themselves into is connected to too many people and pre existing conflicts. In the end the ones to blame are the three main characters Charlie, Johnny and Michael on account of their bad judgement and basically prolonging the inevitable.
Music used is a Napoletane song called 'O Marenariello Sounds to me like the singers are fumbling through the words it has the same melody as song I have but one heart which is how it is usually sung by Sergio Bruni or Carlo Buti or Scorsese's fave singer Giuseppe de Stefano
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!
That's correct. Even though some of Mean Streets was filmed on location in New York, much of it , especially the interior scenes was shot in L.A., perhaps at the Warner Bros lot in Burbank.@@TheKitchenerLeslie
I know a guy who looks exactly like Michael, and I borrowed money from him and never paid him back 🤣😂 It's funny because he ended up stabbing a kid over a woman, crazy huh?
O Marenariello In this scene they sing it slurred, almost if they were too drunk to sing it, they don't pronounce some words very well. Also, Scorsese filmed it during a live party, some of the miscellaneous scenes in this movie was unscripted.

I cannot figure the last few minutes in this film. I understand narratively what's going on, it's DeNiro's... Acting? Why he's making practically no effort to stop the bleeding, he looks like his putting his hand everywhere BUT where the hole is. More so, why the hell is he screeching like a banshee while climbing out the windows. The whole thing seems like they're purposely not going for realism.
@@I_Play_Vic20 no, but I was gutted 19 years ago, and have had plenty of experience with serious injuries. Regardless, you don't need to have the same exact injury to know that when someone is bleeding profusely that natural reaction is to hold it tight to staunch it. Just you don't need to be completely immolated to know when you burn yourself or touch something hot you immediately pull your hand back.
tim white You do realise people have different pain tolerances right? Like how a toddler will cry profusely when they scrape their knee, yet someone could get shot and hardly feel a thing.
"The whole thing seems like they're purposely not going for realism." It's expressionist, the same way that the film dives into slow motion when JUMPING JACK FLASH is on the soundtrack and everything is lit deep red - and De Niro's screaming would have been dubbed in afterwards, so it's clearly intentional. Scorsese might or might not explain it more deeply on a commentary track somewhere, but I always figured it's just another eccentric touch, the same as how the soundtrack flips to zero as soon as the hydrant is hit. But they weren't going for realism in this final scene, and it's not a documentary. Good question BTW.
Never read so many stupid comments before! Ugh! The DUMBED DOWN POPULACE SHOWING THEMSELVES FOR WHAT THEY ARE. Read a few you'll see what I mean. Scorsese's first masterpiece and the idiots say the most idiotic crap.
Michael brought that on himself. He was an embarrassment, a two-bit punk pretending to be some big gangster. He should have stuck to hustling kids for firecrackers instead of trying to be a loan shark.
I saw this film once, and I have no desire ever to see it again. I just don't think it's very good either dramatically, or technically. I was never able to figure out what this ending means, that is the cross cutting to the different locations. Is he really saying that if you were born in Little Italy this ends up happening to you? That is baloney. What happened here is all due to the DeNiro character. Who is, in fact, a cliche character, although DeNiro really did bring him to life through his acting. So to me the film is actually reductive of its materials, not expansive. As far as the making of the film, I thought it was reminiscient of a student film, perhaps from NYU or USC, but still at that level.

Ok
No lie, I was glad Michael got his payback at the end, DeNiro's character was such a douchebag in this movie.
100 percent right he should have paid but nope so he paid the price
Michael wasn't fit out to be a loan shark, he definitely got killed after these events I'm sure.

I never did before!

I knew it was him when I first watched it last week
He grew up in a mob neighbourhood so it makes sense.
I clocked him. Interesting he's in the back seat in TAXI DRIVER, too.

And this is the icing on top

Looks like Charlie got his wish. He ended up paying for his sins, his way.
Scorsese is a good actor. He played a psychopath fare (taxi customer} in Taxi driver.
Chef Love Scorsese is the director your thinking for Robert de niro
@Elitedevil yea he was the guy who wanted to kill his wife and her black lover
@@Lightmylove Actually Scorsese is the dude shooting the gun in this scene. He likes to cameo in his own movies.

This always gives me goosebumps for real...

Its sad bc charlie is probably in trouble bc his uncle knows he was in the car with Johnny. Charlie deserved better

I like the part when Martin Scorsese gets away with murder.
LMAO!!!!!!look at marty @ :20
MICHAEL disliked this
Live Cream vol 2. Scorsese used a lot of Cream in subsequent movies.
The sound effects on that car crash is questionable to say the least😂
there is a song before a min of this scene which is singing by Charlie for 10 seconds, 1:41:40 on movie, i can t get the italian words, any help?
The song, I believe, is called “O Marenariello”, the first few lines (as sung here) I believe are:
Oi’ ne’, fa priesto viene!
Aiutame a tira’...
WHAT SONG IS AT 1:20 IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND IR FOR SO LONG !!!!!
GHOUL FORCE someone answer please
HazarEd O Marienariello (I Have But One Heart)

Gold car.......dodge coronet
