We're gonna get into 49 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: that later. I was a motherfucker growing up anyway. So 50 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: I bought a pair of three hundred and five dollar 51 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: cashmere sweatpants from a place called Ron Herman. I usually 52 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: just call it Fred Siegells. It's it's Fred Siegells or 53 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,239 Speaker 1: Ron Herman. It's like a store in Los Angeles. It's 54 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: a group of stores. I go to the restaurant and 55 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: I eat all the time. They have great food there. 56 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: Great food is fred Segulls on Melrose, probably the place 57 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: I go to most often in Los Angeles for lunch. 58 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: Great pasta's, nice staff, great half lemonade, half iced tea. 59 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: Although they used to have better because they had a 60 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: slushy heat, but then they got rid of the slushies. 61 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: But now they're making the slushies, or maybe they just 62 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: make them for me. It's one of the perks of 63 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: being Michael Rappaport. You could get slushies made of Fred Siegel. 64 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: Life is good, folks. I'm big fucking time. You might 65 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: not be able to get a slushy at fred Segels. 66 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: You might go to fred Siegels and just get an 67 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: Ormina Palmer and they might bring it out mix me. Somehow. 68 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: They hooked me up, and I feel like I'm a 69 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: good tipper. So that's that anyway. So there was a 70 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: sale on clothing and I went up into the sale 71 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: with my girl. I've been to fred Seagull. It's not 72 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: like me. I it's not really like a place you 73 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: would probably I'm not comfortable in there. They're not totally 74 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: comfortable with me having me being in there buying clothes. 75 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: In the restaurant, they love me. The restaurant at fred 76 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: Siegells Morrow's Cafe, they fucking love me. I'm the fucking 77 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm great. But the fashion place, it's very you know, 78 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: she she beverly heels. It's very she she. I don't 79 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: know what that was. It's very she she beverly heatles, 80 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: and uh, I bought clothes or bought pants. It's but 81 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: not a lot of fancy shot like the ship. A 82 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: lot of ship doesn't fit me. The extra large fits 83 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: me like you know, a baseball shirt like it just 84 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: it reaches like the middle of my forearm, you know, 85 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: like the shirts they wore in Bad News Bears, like 86 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: those kinds of baseball shirts. I have very long arms. People. 87 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this, but you were 88 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: talking and I guarantee you I have long arms. And 89 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: the king of podcast, Adam Corolla, I guarantee you. But 90 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,119 Speaker 1: you'll say, oh no, Adam Corola has got long arms. 91 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: I have longer arms. He probably got a bigger dick, 92 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: but I have the longest arms. Okay, anyway, So I 93 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: bought these sweatpants. They're Kashmir. I have them on right now. 94 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: I don't have any new underwear on, and they're so 95 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: fucking comfortable. They feel like I have nothing on. And 96 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: they're warm but not too hot. And the guy at 97 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: the store said, he goes, you're really gonna like these 98 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: because They're warm but not too hot. They're not uh 99 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're not tight. They're loose, but they're 100 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: not like karate pants. Okay, I don't know if I'm 101 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: painting a good enough picture here. I'm not a fashion person. 102 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: Their navy blue, and they're super fucking comfortable. These Kashmere 103 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: sweatpants that I have on that cost probably three tacks 104 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: three forty something dollars from Ron Herman. There Ron Herman Sweatpants. 105 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: I think they make their own ship there and sell it, 106 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: I think, but there they were expensive. But they're very 107 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: very very very very comfortable. And I feel like I 108 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: am announcing that I wear Kashmere sweatpants before Kanye does it, 109 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: because this is some Kanye ship.

Five years ago. I wouldn't 133 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: have done this.

All right, 152 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: I fucking jumped in it and I just went right 153 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: to the bottom. And my father, you know, I don't 154 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: know if he jumped in the pool. I was able 155 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: to get me with his arm, pulled me the funk out, 156 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: But I was fucking drowning.

I just 329 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: it's I know, I'm not the only one that I 330 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: just fell in love with Y Rocky will be a 331 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: common theme on the I Am Rappaport podcast because it's 332 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: just such a special movie to me. I want to 333 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: do a whole Rocky segment, try to interview Stallone, tell 334 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: you Shire, Oh my god, Carl Weathers. I would die. 335 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 1: The thought of having those people at my disposal and 336 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: be able to just watch Rocky with him in my house, 337 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: I would fucking die. That's my dream segment, to watch 338 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: Rocky with the cast of Rocky. Oh my god, I 339 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: would fucking die. Frank Stallone, do you know who sang 340 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: the song and Rocky take them back? Do do? Do? Do? 341 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: Take him back? Take you back? Do do? Do? Do? 342 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: Take you back? Like if you're a Rocky head like 343 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: I am, you know what that is. That's when the 344 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 1: guys were singing on the corner. It was Frank Stallone, 345 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: who's obviously Sylvester Stallone's brother. But like any anyway, I 346 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: could do a whole thing on every scene from Rocky, 347 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: which which I'll do um so. But my scene from 348 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: my scene of the week from Rocky is when Mickey 349 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: goes to Rockies house unannounced, unannounced, and uh, it's kind 350 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: of schmoozing him. Basically schmoozing him. That's such a crazy 351 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: word to use in Rocky, but he's basically trying to, 352 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: you know, convince him that he should be his trainer 353 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: now that he's he has this big opportunity. And the 354 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 1: scene is just I remember seeing it as a kid 355 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: and just feeling like so sorry. I didn't understand that. 356 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: I felt sorry for Mickey, like when he was getting 357 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: screamed at, I didn't understand exactly why Rocky was being 358 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: mean to him. But then I felt sorry for Rocky 359 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: when he was saying, you know, I mean I could 360 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: act out the whole fucking scene when he was like, 361 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: you know, legs ain't working, nothing's working, nobody's doing nothing. 362 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: Guy comes up, offers me to big fight, big deal. 363 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: Y'all fight the big fight, and he hits the wall. 364 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: So that scene, um, it's seven minutes. It goes on 365 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: for seven minutes, um, And it goes back and forth 366 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: and it finally ends with a beautiful It's one thing 367 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: about the whole Rocky movie. It's so beautifully shot, so 368 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: simply beautiful shot. And this is probably the most beautiful, 369 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: simple standoff shot in the film. Probably is my favorite 370 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,479 Speaker 1: shot in the movie is when you see Mickey walking 371 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: down the street. It's a long shot. It's it's dark, 372 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: empty streets, streets are wet, beautiful Philadelphia street. I was 373 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,719 Speaker 1: from New York at the time, never been to Philadelphia. 374 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: I'm six, So this world Philly is like coming to life. 375 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: And it's just a beautiful shot. And at the time 376 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: I didn't understand a beautiful shot. But now I understand 377 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: the film a little bit more and I could look 378 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: at that show and be like, wow, that's beautiful shot. 379 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: So Mickey leaves the apartment and then it's just a 380 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: static shot and then you know he's walking really slow. 381 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: What really slow? And then you see the door open, 382 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: and then stallone Rocky to me at the kid as 383 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: a kid, it just was Rocky. But so Rocky comes 384 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: and he chases Mickey and Burgess Meredith. This performance is 385 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: so sick. It's so good. He's so good because he 386 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: almost gets frightened when Rocky taps him on the back. 387 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: And then you know, you don't know what they're saying. 388 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: You can't hear anything, but you see him like stick 389 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: out his hand to shake his hand, and then they 390 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: shake hands and then he hugs them, and then stallone 391 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 1: jogs off, and that's the first time you see him, 392 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: you know, training, Actually is that moment. Everybody, well not everybody, 393 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: but you know, even I you forget that. You know, 394 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: you think it's the big scene up the stairs, but 395 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: the first time you kind of see him training is 396 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: that moment. And uh, it's just such a good fucking scene. 397 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna talk to Kevin Corrigan, my friend, who 398 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: loves that scene as well. And that's my scene of 399 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: the week. And I worked on a movie with Stallone. 400 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a whole other segment. I worked on 401 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: a movie with Sylvester Stallone called Copland, and all I 402 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: could say is when I worked on Copland, I want 403 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,919 Speaker 1: to go into that hall, the hall of the time. 404 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: When I worked on Copland, Sylvester Stallone was so generous 405 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: with me. He gave me so much Rocky love. It 406 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: was a fucking dream come true. So I would do 407 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: lines with Stallone anyway. We'll get into it another time. 408 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: This is Michael Rappaport and that was my scene of 409 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: the week. All right, So here we are with the 410 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: second DeNiro line of the week. It's from Mean Streets. Now. 411 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: DeNiro's character in Mean streets, Johnny Boy, I think that 412 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: this character, aside from being a great performance and original performance, 413 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: this character of of Johnny Boy and mean streets and 414 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: the tone of this film and de Niro and Scorsese, 415 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: but I have to give, you know, a lot of 416 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: credit to to to Robert DeNiro on this. He's singlely 417 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: he's single handedly brought in the let's call it the 418 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:51,879 Speaker 1: bottom being style of acting, the bottom being style of acting, 419 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: the the there was never before an Italian American sort 420 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: of he's not even a gangst he's like a hood, 421 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: like a punk, like a hustler, like a street hustler. 422 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: But the language that he brought in the way he 423 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 1: was doing the the New York Ship, that's become so 424 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: sort of iconic two movies and and and television from 425 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: The Sopranos too, you know, other performances by de Niro 426 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: and Scorsese and Good Fellas and you know Casino and 427 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: Joe Pesci and Raging Bull and I mean it's such 428 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: a nice you know, it's a style of acting. The Sopranos, 429 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, they had a club called Bada Bing. I 430 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: think DeNiro in the film might even have said Bada Bing. 431 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: And this is seventy seventy three. They probably shot it 432 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: in seventy two seventy one. The movie came out in 433 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. Tiny movie. The crazy thing about some 434 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 1: of Scorsese's early films there they're essentially independent films. I 435 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 1: know that they were put out by studios, but these 436 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: are small movies. Mean Streets is a small movie movie. 437 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what the budget was, but I guarantee 438 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: you it it couldn't have been more than ten million 439 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: dollars if that. If that, I could do the research 440 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: to find out how much it was. But it's a 441 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: small film. But it was just so well crafted, so unique, 442 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: so original and um and it was just like a 443 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: burst of energy. I think that Main Streets isn't even 444 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: a perfect film. There's some perfection in it, but as 445 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: a film itself, I don't think personally it's a perfect film. 446 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: But it's engaging, it's got an energy, it's got a style, 447 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: and it's got this this authenticity that you know, set 448 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: the tone. You know. The Godfather was around then, and 449 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: of course James Cohn and The Godfather as Sonny Corleone, 450 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: he sort of had that botto being I'm calling it 451 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: that that you know, that Ao yo, that ship, that 452 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: Italian ship, that street ship, that Italian street ship that 453 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 1: is so synonymous and I mean everything for you know, 454 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: what was the movie with Johnny Depp Donnie Brasco. But 455 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: but DeNiro set it off. So the DeNiro line of 456 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: the week comes in um the last the last third 457 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: of the film or the last act of the film. 458 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: DeNiro's character, who's you know, basically a funk up Johnny 459 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: boy and and kit tell his characters the straight guy, 460 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: and you know, he keeps telling him, you gotta you know, 461 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: you gotta pay this guy back. The guy's name is 462 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: Mikey and uh and uh. There's a showdown in the 463 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: bar and Harvey Keitel soo because he keeps saying, I'm 464 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: gonna pay him. I'm gonna pay him. He says, it's 465 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 1: so beautifully so I'm gonna pay him. I'm gonna pay him. 466 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: Earlier in a great scene earlier in the back room 467 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: with him and Kitel that had to have been partially improved, 468 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: not necessarily improved, on the spot. One thing about film acting, 469 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: it's rarely something is improvd on the spot. It's like 470 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: rehearsed improv, you know, um, you rehearse and then you 471 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: kind of find stuff within within the scene in the rehearsal, 472 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: and then you do it and you kind of lay 473 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: uh colors and and tweaks and and sort of back 474 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: and forth. And I'm pretty sure that Scorsese he would 475 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: shoot with two cameras, which definitely lends to improvisation, because 476 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: if you don't have two cameras, it's harder to improv. 477 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: But that's a whole other conversation. Anyway, The DeNiro line 478 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: of the week comes when Kitel and this character Mikey 479 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: show up at the bar and DeNiro and David pro 480 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: voll I can't remember his name in the in the film, 481 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: but he had a great season or two on The 482 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: Sopranos as the gangster that came out of jail. Was 483 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: when he was really young, I mean really really he 484 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: brought the he brought the fucking noise that year. Actor 485 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: David pro voll excellent actor, has been around for since 486 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: ship mean streets in before. Alright, So in this scene, DeNiro, 487 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: who owes this character Mike who's like a you know, 488 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: like a gangster, you know, a tough guy, a real 489 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: like a threat. He owes him. I don't know a 490 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: few hundred dollars. DeNiro gives him ten dollars al right, 491 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: which which is already a bad sign.

He's smiling, he 520 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: looks good, he's got this like you hair coming down 521 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: in his face, and he's you could see the other 522 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: actors are almost like watching him. That's the the impressive thing. 523 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: And these are great actors, Harvey Kitel and David pro 524 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: Boll and the actor who I can't remember his name 525 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: who's playing Mikey, who's there like almost in shock. And 526 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: you know there's been different. You know, you hear all 527 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: these sort of folk laws about this scene, and you know, 528 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: DeNiro was agitating this actor so much that he jumped 529 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: across the bar to try to get him because he 530 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: was insulting him so much. I mean this, when you 531 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 1: talk about a starmaking performance, and you talk about a 532 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: iconic performance, and you talk about a steak in the 533 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: ground and a pillar of of of the new acting movement, 534 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: this this, this performance by Robert DeNiro's Johnny Boy in 535 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: Main Streets is all of that. And the language and 536 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 1: the gestures and his outfit, the creativity and the originality 537 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: of it. It's just it's bar none. I mean, it's 538 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,239 Speaker 1: like it really is a landmark performance in terms of 539 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: bringing in the authenticity and and and and like the realness. 540 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 1: Because as great as Brando was, and as great as 541 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 1: Paul Newman was, and as great as all the actors 542 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: before before de Niro, before Pacino, before Dustin Hoffmann, before 543 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: that next phase of people that were all heavily influenced 544 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 1: by James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Paul Newman, it was 545 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: still a little bit wooden. The language that they used 546 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: in film, the way they spoke, it wasn't totally authentic 547 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: to me. This performance is one of the most authentic. 548 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: It brought in just this tenacity, and it brought in 549 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,799 Speaker 1: this vivacious nous, and it brought in this just this 550 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: color that wasn't in films, especially New York films. So 551 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,160 Speaker 1: that's my line of the week from Robert DeNiro in 552 00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: mean streets, Mikey, you know you're something else. I borrow 553 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: money from everybody, and I never pay him back. So 554 00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: you know what, you know what that leads me to. 555 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: That leads me to borrow money from you because I 556 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,839 Speaker 1: don't have to pay you back. You know why, because 557 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: you're a jerk off. You know that. That's what I think. 558 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: You're a jerk off. He's smiling. You're smiling because you're 559 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: a jerk off. Because that's what I think of you. 560 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you something else, Mikey, I fuck you 561 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: right where you breathe because I don't give two ships 562 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 1: about you or nobody else. How many fucking times would 563 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: you have wanted to say that to a person. I 564 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: don't give two ships about you or nobody else. And 565 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: you know what else, I fuck you right where you breathe. 566 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: Robert de Niro, you mean so much to me, You 567 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: mean so much to so many people.
