Strictly speaking, this is actually a remake. After getting a little money, the artistic conception that I did not dare to practice in my debut work is remedied in this film. Amazingly, Scorsese shot this New York story in Los Angeles, and his superb editing skills are reflected in his connections to interior and exterior scenes.

The rhythm in the first half is very slow, and it is difficult to get into the state. The second half is slightly better. On the whole, I feel that there is a tone of powerlessness and nothingness, and the climax is deliberately weakened to express the individual's confusion and struggle. Italians in American society are probably on the fringes of society. Behind the hostility to blacks, they also hide the fringe color and awkward social position of their own ethnic group. The Italian family view is really strong, a star for De Niro.

Oscar: Look Charlie, you're a good boy. Will you just tell your uncle that I have nothing. There is nothing to give him. No envelopes with cash inside, no checks, nothing.
Charlie: That bad, huh?
Oscar: I can't make this week's payment and if this keeps up not next week's either.
Charlie: Not next week's either... listen... you tell that to Giovanni, not me.
Oscar: Listen, I should wrap up this place in a ribbon and hand it to him, you know that. I don't need this aggravation. I'm getting old.
Charlie: He'd rather have the loan payed, you know that.

Giovanni Cappa: This Johnny Boy is like your mister Groppi... a little crazy. It's nice you should help him out because of his family and our family but watch yourself... Don't spoil anything. His whole family has problems... his cousin, the girl who lives next door to you...
Charlie: Teresa.
Giovanni Cappa: ...The one who's sick, right? In the head.
Charlie: No, she's got epilepsy.
Giovanni Cappa: Yeah. That's what I said, sick in the head.
