Product: Mean Streets (1973)
Rating: 5.0
Amazing for a beginner
This is a film that filmmakers dream of doing in their lifetime let alone at such an early film. "Mean Streets" like most of Scorsese's films is not about Crime but about America and the human soul and whats its capable of doing when faced with the absurd."Mean Streets" is a simple story of new york italian thugs. The Charectors are all struggling with interinal conflicts and when trouble comes they let it out. Not alot of filmmakers in American can deal with subjects like these as power as Scorsese can.The film stared two amazing actors in their early careers. Robert DeNiro never had to grow up in Scorsese's films, he knew what he was doing and this film shows it clearly. The second actor was Harvey Keitel and this could possibley be his best roll. The film truley sparks when both actors are put together in full force and display true raw emotion.Martin Scorsese is possibley the best American director and anyone who is a fim fan needs to see all his films and study them carefully.
