In a very realistic and sophisticated way, it depicts the cruel years of a street youth of Italian origin. The smooth movement of the camera, the neat editing and the precise set, the lighting and color of the picture are all excellent. Harvey's performance is solid, but De Niro's performance is more stunning.

It has many characteristics typical of independent films, such as the long dialogue at the beginning of the middle scene, etc., and it is also a tried-and-true technique, providing a means of reflection to make the story feasible, rather than relying on a temporary blindfold. But to me, what is even more valuable is that Martin Scorsese can grow into a unique business leader, and it looks like a complete existence.

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.
