The steak, being a steak, has its own purpose in life. And that purpose is to be cooked perfectly. If you over cook it, the steak's purpose is defeated and it can no longer be a purposeful steak.
I dated an italian guy a few years ago and he could recite this entire movie line by line and sound JUST like Bobby DeNiro. I wouldnt have left him..but he left me no choiiiice.
0:43. Single greatest second in film. The waiting for the steak, the build up as anticipation turns into aggravation. You think "finally, he's got his steak" and the matter's resolved, you relax a bit. Then the extra side dish portion he doesn't want, you don't think much of it, you don't have the time. WHAM ! He doesn't get up and flip the table, he doesn't even ponder it for a fraction. He just pushes it over as nonchalant as one could. Never looked at the table, just staring at his wife as to say, "here, check this out." Watching the table's contents as make their way on their journey to the floor, they seem to have a sense of dignity about themselves, leaving very gracefully as if they are more than happy to leave but don't want to appear as rude and go too quickly. And if you notice the last one to leave is the steak.
yes you can. with a nice fresh steak you only 'have to' lighty cook the outside. the inside is still sterile so long as it hasn't been exposed to air. ground beef on the other hand needs to be cooked since it's all been exposed to air.
Just an observation....I like the way Jake calls Larry "Larry" with a degree of not friendliness necessarily, but familiarity....like yeah, we've been neighbors for a long time and it's just another instance of some yelling back and forth outside the windows.
In reality, that would never happen. My mother lived around the corner from the Lamata's. She said he'd punch people in the mouth just for looking at him the wrong way. If Larry had yelled at him like that he'd have kicked in his door and beat the crap out of him.
0:13 I love how, for once, LaMotta makes a perfectly reasonable point in a (relatively) calm manner and his wife just looks at him like she wants to kill him!!
He really is an animal the whole movie. Can't take no for an answer. Does literally what he wants when he wants. Only knows how to yell, fight, and take. Destroys himself.
Doesn't matter what anyone says, when Scorcece and DiNiro and Pesci and Vincent get together, it's gonna be perfect. And if you add a little of the Sopranos in there somewhere, then I'm in Little Italy heaven.
Im Puerto Rican... grew up in Brooklyn,and when my mother saw this movies she hated this part cause it reminded her of my father when he was young...lol
I'm Mexican American my uncle was Puerto Rican he was my aunt's ex-husband used to do this when she would cook dinner and when she sarved him his plate he took one bite and spit it out and for some reason all the children thought it was funny I must admit I laugh too he took us all out to dinner and left his wife at home rip Uncle Ralph
Supposedly the guy yelling at DeNiro was totally unscripted and was an actual nearby resident who thought the fighting was real. DeNiro stayed in character and worked with it. If that little story is true, yet another example of how many times unscripted moments are the best.
Thanos of Titan Perhaps the men need to learn to cook for themselves in order to call themselves a real man? I have cooked for myself for over 15 years...don't need a woman to do it for me.
