@@jamesjoseph1249 Definitely. Unlucky for the whole movie to run in the same year together with "The Silence of the Lambs". Its a great movie, but I can understand, you give "Silence of the Lambs" a very tiny edge in every category of the Oscars, not necessarily being outright better, but a tiny little bit fresher and more innovative. Not this one isnt innovative at all and in details it is definitely, but the overall plot is a bit more "common", as fantastic as De Niro portrays Cady and as interesting as the character is, there are more similar characters in movies like him in comparison to the Hannibal Lecter type which was completely new at this time, also brillantly portrayed by Antony Hopkins. Without this competitor and taken for itself, De Niro's performance performance and the whole movie would have been worthy of an Oscar.
This scene was SOOO good...juliet lewis displayed great acting-being shy and naive , yet full of fear...another great job by jessica lange as well...lets not forget the menacing robert deniro
@THEWATCHINGOBSERVER76 Also, some of the shit that De Niro does in this, like Survive being hit by a pipe over 20 times, strapping himself beneath the family ride, picking up Nick Bolts with only one arm, is all stuff that you'd see out of the retarded little "Iron Man" movies that you just referenced. Bottom Line, this movie isn't 100 Percent Realistic Either! Like what Film Critic Leonard Maltin said about this Movie, "that this was unbelievable and more of a Horror Movie.Cape Fear for the Friday the 13th Generation." Lol, Cape Fear for the "Friday the 13th Generation" for someone like yourself!
@THEWATCHINGOBSERVER76 Oh, and one more thing! You wanting to jack off about this movie, acting like it's REAL LIFE when in all actuality it isn't, it's just scripted and cheroegraphed... Made to make People like yourself think that it's Real... Just shows your Level of Life Intelligence!!!
@@SuperiorNo1 De Niro was nominated for Best Actor for Cape Fear, but lost to Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs). Surprisingly, Raging Bull is still his only Best Actor Academy Award.
Every bone in his body would have been broken.A ribcage bone is not any stronger than a stick. He wouldn't be able to breath even if he in some miraculous way he didnt die due to bone fragments piercing his organs, yet alone be standing up and beating those guys up. The scene was sheer Hollywood ridiculous
The human body can be very durable. It can also be very fragile. That fight scene is not realistic but it could be possible to endure that beating and come out on top. Humans have survived worse.
0:25 "Sexus" is the name of the first book of a written trilogy named "The Rosy Crucifixion" by Henry Miller, published in 1949. It's about how a writer leaves his wife for a dancer who changed her name and background. The way the sex was described in the book got the author fined and arrested. So in a way, Max giving Danielle this book was more or less a way of gaslighting her to rebel against her parents and change her own name and background, like the dancer did in the book.
Sam knew something was wrong. But he was unaware of how Close Max Cady was. So while he was checking around on deck Cady grabs him & ties him up, Then goes into the cab to surprise the ladies. They thought they were safe on the boat. The problem with Max Cady & the Bowden family will not rest until extreme measures are taken. Robert De Niro was the Ultimate Burglar in this movie!
It's interesting Nick Nolte had to lose a ton of weight, because at 6'1, and his regular weight, he's just a naturally big, strong guy. They had to have it where he had that skinny fat look, so Deniro could take him on.
@@cactusmalone the guys a beast lol. Hes like one of those guys that don't need to bother working out or anything and can just kick your ass anyway. Good actor though cause this movie made me forget that.
@@richyearle007 there is some truth to that but it depends. These two are both actors not trained fighter so it's highly likley nolte would kick deniros ass in real life. A Skilled fighter going against an average bigger dude who has never been in a fight MAY have a chance of beating him. However, two trained fighters, the bigger guy is always going to win. Even if the smaller guy has more skill. E.g Mike Tyson would destroy mayweather and mayweather is a better boxer. The harsh reality is that the myth that size dosent matter is in fact a myth. There are weight classes in fighting for a reason. This is coming from a smaller guy. That's the harsh truth.
@@LucidLegend1984 I bet you would like him, if he was saying stuff you agreed with. I think James Woods is an idiot, but I still like his movies. Grow up.
@@LucidLegend1984 James Woods is a right wingnut blow hard. But Vampires is a great movie. You should just admit you dont like him, because he called trump a bum. Which he is. Lol.
@@mintybadgerproductions You've literally selected the films in recent years with the best cinematography, Zach did say "most coming out today" not "this film's cinematography is as good as the best coming out today."
Seeing DDL as a kid in The Bounty then in Last of the Mohicans and then Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood. It's different after he's a Chad acting wise
@@spittinvenom9671 I got you! However if you were a really old guy or a movie buff you'd have seen the original Cape Fear with Robert Mitchum? Eh how about that ?
Forgot to put all the other films each of the actors have been in,otherwise people obviously won't know who these actors are.Oh It's Robert De Niro from Taxi Driver.not another Robert De Niro.
She said HIIIYAAAAAA!!! SPLASH!!!!! UGH. Are you offering me somethin haut? Grandaddy used ta play with snakes in church, Granma drank striknine, and I ate the cancer outta ma asshole so you see, i got a leg up in the genetics department.
I been in jail and got lots of ex con friends. Not one of us could take getting beat up r burnt any better now than before lockup. Thats the dumbest shit I ever seen
Well, sure you're well tougher now, right? This is extremely exaggerated, (a damn good scene though, when he ligthens up the flare, he becomes the devil himself, with the red light and all, plus the text about grandparents hahaah)
@@Shotokan1001 I believe so, too. This is actually pretty raw and realistic "psycho thriller"... I know a guy that survived 5 (not a psycho, again, far from "average guy") shootings, for example. He walks, he talks, he looks good for his age, he got more bullets than some people from the war... d
You know it's a movie right? That being said, I've know many people that had a very high tolerance of pain. And they never served a minute in prison. Just because you've been in prison doesn't mean you're tough. Just like some bodybuilders think having muscles makes them tough. Quite the opposite.
Member when this guy was known for being a great actor and not a bitter old woke fart, getting cleaned out by his ex wife and having to degrade himself with cheap car commercials just to keep his head above water? I member.
This movie is just terrible. The character is so silly and De Niro is just laughable in this role. And the editing; it's just brutal how bad it is. ("This gun?" → *dramatic zoom*). By far Scorsese's worst film.
I think the over the top cheese was on purpose. It fits the far out there plot of this movie in particular cause even though the content is super dark, it's a wacky almost slapstick premise having this psycho come out of prison just to terrorize and chase around his old defense lawyer's family. Not to mention we know how notoriously purposeful Scorsese is with his movies, and this is the only film he's ever done that's like this
