@Kenman22 - brilliant. yea one of his best. Ive recently put up a review of the film, please check it out at my channel, and see what else there may take your fancy.
This might objectively be the greatest film ever. At least in the top 25. I believe this has the best acting from DeNiro he has ever done. Also, this movie is not only funny but is one of those "intelligent movies" that contains a lot of philosophy, deep meaning, and insight for those who have the eyes to see. But most people do not have the "eyes to see" therefore it is very under-appreciated, while ironically most of the big popular movies are the ones which don't deserve the respect they get.
One of my favourite scenes of all time. Scorsese is a god and knows exactly how to channel De Niro's skills. Jerry Lewis delivers an incredibly strong performance, too.
But still...
"It's Impossible! It's Impossi-"
"RUPERT!"
"WHAAAAAT!?.. It's Impossible!!"
Ahahaha just a perfectly executed mix of comedy and serious delusion. The laugh(s) at the end of the scene are the icing on top. A truly incredibly film.
@Sstizzle333 I don't know. A lot of people say that, But I find this character thoroughly joyful to watch, too. I personally think De Niro's most disturbing role is as Max Cady in Scorsese's (Big surprise there) Cape Fear.
When I watched that film as a kid, I was scared for weeks because of that performance. Even today when I watch that film I cringe whenever I hear that southern accent chew away at the control and sanity of ALL the other characters.
omg this is one of roberts greatest movies he,s ever done this movie is 1 ov the funniest films around .this bit is funny mom stop callin me lol funni mun
What a freak! One of the great underrated films. A lot of people dont get the humor in it but its s o funny and dark. The guy is insane and deluded.Thats one of my favourite scenes in it.
Outstanding movie! One of DeNiro's best the same goes for Scorsese. Jerry Lewis is fantastic as well. He just nailed the exhaustion of being a comedian and the pressure to always be "funny" or "on" for everyone.
I love this movie, one of DeNiro's best performances, even Marty agrees. This movie did not get the publicity it deserved. The woman yelling at Rupert is Marty's mother or sister, can't remember. Jerry Lewis was also sensational, Johnny Carson was originally offered the role but turned it down because he didn't want to give anyone any ideas. Can't forget Sandra Bernard, equally as good as the rest. Fantastic movie!
IMDB reports that in the scene where Rupert crashes Jerry's weekend home, De Niro deliberately riled up Lewis by using anti-Semitic slurs. Lewis had never worked with method actors, didn't know that De Niro was only doing this in character and gave a very credible, livid performance.
most underrated scorsese film, it deserves to be recognized in his top echelon of films, with raging bull, taxi driver, goodfellas, meanstreets. its that good, and its only gotten more relevant as the years go on
@johnnondrowsyd I cant agree more, as a Huge Scorsese fan, i feel this is such a good film and Denero is just amazing especially in this scene you really get a creepy feeling of how sick this guy is.
@johnnondrowsyd Kenneth Anger and Bill Landis were my dates to see RAGING BULL and I still think that movie is terrible. This one, however, was brilliant, and I saw it when it came out. Angelo Pastormerlo was my date, check me out in MODERN WOMEN under Lisa Baumgardner.
could you please upload the scene with Rupert and Rita having a meal, and the guy sat behind Rupert is mocking rupert ? I love that scene, it's so funny !
In this scene here, it makes me laugh when he says' maaaa, pleeeaaassee stop calling me ! ' .Lol.
It's always wonderful to see Jerry, he's a brilliant actor, and so handsome, no matter how old he gets. He has me intriged about this movie, but I wonder if he is his comic self at all, or is about De Niro and his funnies? If anyone has seen this movie can you please comment.
In reply to pammy1971's question. Jerry has a serious part in the movie. In fact he's sort of an asshole. But how can he be funny with Pupkin stalking him througout the movie. Jerry has his funny moments too but this is a dark comedy.
Its all about De Niro's self obsessed search for fame with delusions of grandeur. Which when i saw this in 2001 for the first time. I thought hey thats me! Your Q was a year ago so this was it. It's always wonderful to see Jerry, he's a brilliant actor, and so handsome, no matter how old he gets.

2:21 De Niro has a scary laugh (he does the same laugh in the cinema scene in Cape Fear)

I don't know. I think Jake LaMotta might have been his best role, but I think that De Niro's role here is definitely his most disturbing.

Why ask anamanaguchi such an agressive, provocative question?
Was it just to be a dick?
Was it to show him you know more about psychology than him?
Was it so you can feel better about yourself?
If you are such an expert then maybe you'd better describe your own psychological condition... Clearly there are some issues there.
