Mean Streets is a 1973 American crime film directed by Martin Scorsese, co-written by Scorsese and Mardik Martin, and starring Harvey Keitel and Robert De Niro. It was produced by Warner Bros. The film premiered at the New York Film Festival on October 2, 1973, and was released on October 14. De Niro won the National Society of Film Critics and the New York Film Critics Circle award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as "Johnny Boy" Civello.
Mean Streets is set in the Little Italy neighborhood of New York City in the early 1970s. The film follows Charlie (Harvey Keitel), a small-time hoodlum who is trying to keep his friend Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro) out of trouble. Johnny Boy is a volatile and dangerous character who is constantly getting into debt with loan sharks. Charlie is trying to help Johnny Boy, but he is also getting in over his head with the mob.
Mean Streets is a gritty and realistic film that captures the violence and despair of life in the inner city. The film is also notable for its innovative use of cinematography and editing. Scorsese uses a handheld camera and fast cutting to create a sense of urgency and immediacy.
Mean Streets was a critical and commercial success. It was praised for its realism, its performances, and its direction. The film was also a major influence on later gangster films, such as Goodfellas and The Sopranos.
Here are some of the themes of Mean Streets:
Loyalty and friendship: Charlie is fiercely loyal to Johnny Boy, even though he knows that Johnny Boy is bad for him.
Violence and crime: Violence is a constant threat in the world of Mean Streets. Johnny Boy is a violent character, and Charlie is often forced to resort to violence himself.
Religion and guilt: Charlie is a Catholic, and he is often struggling with his guilt. He knows that he is living a sinful life, but he is unable to escape it.
Mean Streets is a powerful and disturbing film that is a must-see for fans of gangster films.
