I love how Pupkin says "I'm in a meeting myself" when he's on the phone with Jerry's receptionist, he turns away and lowers his voice so the lady behind the counter doesn't hear him say it. Brilliant acting.
10:09, in the background, members of one of Scorsese's favorite bands at the time, The Clash. Around this time he initiated the original plans to make Gangs of New York, he intended to have them compose its score.
I could watch this every day and pick up the nuances how dinero with every move and every voice intonation creates a character that is so uncomfortable to be around I believe this is his best work
Well not to mention, the brilliance of Deniro, as to how makes this perfectly amiable guy with great people skills, frightening and sympathetic at the same time ! Among one of his best performances
Cmon, man. I agree he wants fame. He is sick. Obsessional and delusional thought processes. Yes, I feel sorry for him He does not realize how awkward his actions are to people. He did know he was breaking the law. His interactions with people he views as normal day to day., though. He aint that out of touch, he knows he is breaking law with his plan, though. He reaches fame, anyway. Lol
I love how he goes ahead and takes the money because he has such a shit job. I also love how his mother keeps yelling at him as if he's a 16 year old guitar player playing too loud for his mother's house.
I think his mom is dead and he is just imagining he hears her voice is yelling at him. Rupert was more than a bit out of touch with reality, but nonetheless, determined to become famous as a comedian. Probably, Deniro's best performance as an actor is in this movie. This is his most brilliantly acted role, IMO. 1. Rupert Pupkin 2. Jake Lamotta 3. Young Don Vito Corleone Deniro's best work as an actor, IMO
@@nycinstyle Perfect. I believe it is also. Can you imagine playing a part where the character is a seemingly normal guy but is so fucked up, he's dangerous. You're right, DiNiro's best by far.
The problem with Pupkin is he wanted to be Jerry without doin the work. He just wanted to make it! He’s VERY lucky they even talked to him. Today, they won’t even do this! I would’ve taken that advice, work on my act, and contact them etc.
Yeah, it's only a movie. Deniro's character is sick. He is delusional and obsessional in his thought processes. It makes him a loner, stuck on .making it in show biz through his delusional relationship with a tv talk show host. I dont think he realizes that his actions are improper. He ends up being a star, anyway, since society is so set on bringing attention to people who do unususl things. We see it today more than ever. I dont think off of that, what he did in movie kidnapping, etc, In reality, I dont think thst would make him a star. Maybe someone with his own TH-cam channel today. Lol
9:58 to 10:04 Deniro gets very close to his Jimmy Conway-style line delivery (which of course he hasn't done yet, since GoodFellas is still several years off).
It's too bad Rupert didn't hit some comedy open mics at the very least he could have got some reactions from audiences. It might have led him to drop the white collar and spats and bad jokes and get a little bit better
That is a very typical thing a person will do sometime in life. Go on a date, and/or sitting with a girl you really like. Easy to understand how he feels going on date or being with a girl he really likes. Deniro's characters were hysterical IMO both times. Very, very out there uncomfortable in ways and odd, but liksble at same time. Both girls werent sure what the hell was going on in his head. Lol
Has anyone ever thought about doing this for real? Abducting a celebrity they admire and blackmailing the people higher up into achieving one night of being a king.
Is that cork? I don't know what is , Is it dripping on you?I heard it is good for sound The other good line is They are all cynics embittered by their own failure.

What's truly sad is that everyone around can tell that something is wrong & yet no one steps in. This is how people get lost in our society.
Lol. Who's going to step in to break that level of delusion. Rupert and Masha love it too much.
@@crochetedlace2838 Exactly. Our whole system is fucked up so that people don't help & people don't ask for help.
DeNiro does such a good job playing this poor deluded guy that it's actually awkward to watch. I keep feeling embarrassed for him.
As do i.
That's why it's funny
All comments are like 14 yo. I go back to some scènes very often. Same for After Hours. Both so underrated.
Scorsese casted the perfect Joker so many years ago
10:09, in the background, members of one of Scorsese's favorite bands at the time, The Clash. Around this time he initiated the original plans to make Gangs of New York, he intended to have them compose its score.
Carnola Sluggs wow never heard that before. Sounds great
Excellent black comedy....most people didn't get it at the time but its turned into a classic :)
It does remain underrated.
This movie is amazing.
So is After Hours. And both are underrated monuments.
1:11 - this part is always hilarious, that goofy laugh out of nowhere
Phenomenal stuff. Just beautifully observed, fabulous improv, Sandra Bernhard is incredible. Such a wonderful movie 🖤
7:11 They adapted that line on Joker. "Have you been working on any new material?"
I could watch this every day and pick up the nuances how dinero with every move and every voice intonation creates a character that is so uncomfortable to be around I believe this is his best work
Am I the only one who's rooting for the guy to make it Denero is brilliant in this film one of his best works
Well not to mention, the brilliance of Deniro, as to how makes this perfectly amiable guy with great people skills, frightening and sympathetic at the same time ! Among one of his best performances
He gives off bad energy immediately.
I just saw this movie and immediately loved it
"Mr. Pumpkin" !
“People often mispronounce it”
There’s no way you can come out of this movie and not remember his name
really good acting in this scene and whole movie.
DeNiro's finest hour.
This guy would definitely be on the Dr phil show
Goose Wayne
The movie Network perfectly predicted how television will be all corporate and reality TV will be the norm.
This clip is like the real-life fight he's having with his former assisstant now! 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the upload.
This hurts to watch. He seems to be a decent person. Why doesn't he think his life is good enough?
He is obsessed with the idea of celebrity and fame.
Cmon, man. I agree he wants fame. He is sick. Obsessional and delusional thought processes. Yes, I feel sorry for him
He does not realize how awkward his actions are to people. He did know he was breaking the law.
His interactions with people he views as normal day to day., though. He aint that out of touch, he knows he is breaking law with his plan, though. He reaches fame, anyway. Lol
Isn't that so everybody?!?!:)💖
That moment is BRILLIANT on Deniro's part ! A little bit scary too
I love how he goes ahead and takes the money because he has such a shit job. I also love how his mother keeps yelling at him as if he's a 16 year old guitar player playing too loud for his mother's house.
Rupe's mom is none other than Catherine Scorsese, the director's mother!
I think his mom is dead and he is just imagining he hears her voice is yelling at him. Rupert was more than a bit out of touch with reality, but nonetheless, determined to become famous as a comedian. Probably, Deniro's best performance as an actor is in this movie. This is his most brilliantly acted role, IMO.
1. Rupert Pupkin
2. Jake Lamotta
3. Young Don Vito Corleone
Deniro's best work as an actor, IMO
@@nycinstyle Perfect. I believe it is also. Can you imagine playing a part where the character is a seemingly normal guy but is so fucked up, he's dangerous. You're right, DiNiro's best by far.
The scene with the cardboard cutouts is both hilarious, and deeply disturbing, you know he's just about to assassinate Jerry
You were shmucko supremo last night! 😂
The problem with Pupkin is he wanted to be Jerry without doin the work. He just wanted to make it! He’s VERY lucky they even talked to him. Today, they won’t even do this! I would’ve taken that advice, work on my act, and contact them etc.

9:58 to 10:04 Deniro gets very close to his Jimmy Conway-style line delivery (which of course he hasn't done yet, since GoodFellas is still several years off).
Honestly, I think closer to Sam "Ace" Rothstein (Casino).
@@Rayoscope - Yeah, I can see him saying something like that to Nicky in Casino.
It's too bad Rupert didn't hit some comedy open mics at the very least he could have got some reactions from audiences. It might have led him to drop the white collar and spats and bad jokes and get a little bit better
A brilliantly awkward movie.
0:39-1:48 Delightful in a sick way.
That mock talk show he does in his house with that cardboard Liza cut out is a fascinating scene. Deniro pretty brilliant there!
My fav movie
Kramer in his apartment with the Merv Griffin set...
Acabo de ver Joker y uff, qué referencia
1:48 Is that Ray Charles’s “Fool For You”?
One of the all-time great movie quotes:
'Is that cork?'
In the Times Square scene, was that music played on the loudspeaker all the time? Or was it just for the movie.
How in the hell did we even do ANY business without a damn cell phone?
Phone booths.
@@joel8583 Yeah, but they cost money to use and sometimes, they didn't even work because they were vandalized.
A tragedy disguised as a comedy
Schmucko-supremo
It's increadible how rupert and travis did so badly in their dates
That is a very typical thing a person will do sometime in life. Go on a date, and/or sitting with a girl you really like. Easy to understand how he feels going on date or being with a girl he really likes.
Deniro's characters were hysterical IMO both times. Very, very out there uncomfortable in ways and odd, but liksble at same time.
Both girls werent sure what the hell was going on in his head. Lol
🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍
Is that cork?
haha
Always been my favorite line. So simple, so awkward. Makes you uncomfortable every time.

Has anyone ever thought about doing this for real? Abducting a celebrity they admire and blackmailing the people higher up into achieving one night of being a king.
10:08 - Desiree Cousteau (movie marquee) - Very hot porn star in her day. Was in "Caged Heat", Jonathan Demme's directorial debut.
I have that movie. A classic it is!
And at 10:13 - Joe Strummer of The Clash plays “street trash.” This brilliant movie has many hidden gems sprinkled throughout.
1:15
The Joker..
He may as well have been!
9:12
