These two had the screen chemistry from the very beginning. Even as recently as The Irishman, 46 years after this film, they still have it. Everyone thinks of Joe Pesci as Robert De Niro's top collaborator (and with good reason, they are spectacular) but the pairing of De Niro and Keitel deserves its' place in cinema history just the same.
Besides the acting, the music and of course the directing, the thing that stands out to me the most in this movie are the fight scenes. They’re raw, they’re not super choreographed like movies today. Even in this scene they don’t really end up fighting, but you can literally feel the energy between these two characters. The slaps, the punches, shoves or whatever you can tell are real. Something you just don’t see anymore
Should've recorded it longer, when Scorsese's mother comes in the scene and helps Teresa get back up. I always loved Scorsese's parents' cameos in his films!
@@danbam3411 I actually kinda like a few of his newer comedy movies like the meet the parents movies for what they are but I wish De Niro was more open to dramatic roles during that time
"Mean Streets" is a 1973 crime film directed by Martin Scorsese, and it indeed features Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel in prominent roles. The film is often considered one of Scorsese's breakthrough works and helped establish his reputation as a director. In the movie, Robert De Niro plays the character of Johnny Boy, a reckless and charismatic small-time criminal, while Harvey Keitel plays Charlie, a more responsible and conflicted individual who is trying to balance his own sense of morality with his loyalty to Johnny Boy. The film explores themes of Italian-American identity, friendship, and the struggles of life in New York City's Little Italy neighborhood. De Niro's performance as Johnny Boy is particularly memorable, and it marked the beginning of his long and successful collaboration with Martin Scorsese. "Mean Streets" is widely regarded as a classic in American cinema and played a significant role in launching the careers of both De Niro and Scorsese.
He was 34 when this was filmed. Still, old?? No. Built? Yes. Fuckin’ dude was still cut when he starred in Bad Lieutenant. But as to how he appeared, you have to remember that youth today is VERY young. If Keitel seems old for his early 30s, it’s because the times aged people differently back then. Unlike today when we have a generation of grown children in their 40s.
And NO ONE has the name of that song that they were singing at the festa nor even mentions it. If you look on line they have every song in the movie except that one. Any hints? I remember hearing it when I was a kid. A classic Napolitan' song! I've looked under soundtracks and trivia...Sigh..It starts when DeNiro walks down the street, beats someone up and it ends right about when he comes through the window.
Man yall not gonna like this, The band in the scene was a live band, they were playing a gospel song thats has parts dedicated to "madonna di montevergine" in the festival "montevergine's juta". If you can imagine how people sing prayer music, this is the same except the music differentiates by whom sings it, and the instruments that play hence why this is a celebration song to "madonna di montevergine". Here is the closet version i could find: czcams.com/video/cYxRAe0N0Fc/video.html
@@ft3qfDaffe3 Wow! Yes! Exactly...Bravo Cumpà! That's exactly what it was and especially at a Saint's Festival. I always suspected that it WAS Mario Merola or someone doing just that. I heard those songs like that since I was a kid. Great work!

I forgot who said within the Goodfellas, that Jose's character was "like cowboy..he takes too many chances". I agree with you obert De Niro's character slightly worse and even more careless and reckless.

You got to give it to Scorsese. Man what raw talent. This entire generation of filmmakers... the first American film school generation..
Really felt sorry for Teresa, she was very cute... and the acting was legendary
To think Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro are gonna be back in The Irishman....talk about reunion :’)

Shout out to the Johnny Boys I’ve known in my life. I had a Johnny Boy who was a friend way back in the day.

Watch Bugsy 1991 , he plays Mickey Cohen a gangster from the 50’s from LA
