You have to respect Spike Lee's deep knowledge of Italian-Americans to be able to write scenes like this. It's one of the best and also kinda funniest scenes in movie history, in an otherwise very serious movie. It's just so good, and it's like outta Goodfellas their dialogue here. Just brilliant writing and directing.
Deep understanding... Nuyoricans and Italians do not act like that at all. Let alone the mannerisms or slang. Spaniards, not only being white with Penelope Cruz English accents, and certainly not being into tango like movies idiotically make them out to be, are white. Nuyoricans and Italians are not. You are dumb, Harry Anders.
That Frank Sinatra track in the background made the scene even more gravitating. “It was a very good year” Classic! We’ll never experience this level of authenticity like we did with the movies back in these times and before
Seems like that's a pattern in Lee's films. - Rosario Dawson. Her character in "He Got Game" was opportunistic & unfaithful whereas her character in "25th Hour" was kind & supportive. - Thomas Jefferson Byrd. A menacing enforcer in "Clockers" & a loving father in "Get on the Bus." - John Tuturro. Pino was a bigot w/ anger issues in "Do the Right Thing" and the easy-going, non-racist Paulie in "Jungle Fever."
@@brandonb3174yes god forbid blacks be good at golf and tennis too. I guess only whites can be good at anything. Also explains why blacks who invented MANY things in history are not spoken about unless you take a black history class … maybe in college. Alot of white(and black) people don’t know.
That Sinatra music is kind of haunting. It shows these guys were stuck in the 40s-50s era, when women were expected to stay home, have kids and be trapped in a shitty relationship with guys like Vinny! Paulie was only decent guy. That's why they beat him up when he goes to see the black woman. He kept his date!
First off, this really does point out how important the matter of votes are no matter how many stupid ignorant people tell you don’t matter they clearly do. mayors, congressman, governor, senators those are 100% picked up by the people. No questions asked. those people really do impact your state, your community, and your cities.
They called Yosef Salaam from the Central Park 5 Salaam Bologna 😂 Im cool type of fellow cool calm and mellow gtfoh😂😂😂😂 This movie is so funny when it’s not supposed to be
@@jasonpeng33 joey fama was one of the convicted murderers of Yusuf K Hawkins in 1989. A racially charged motive where a black teen was killed by a gang of italian americans in Bensonhurst.
@@jasonpeng33 Joey Fama was part of a mob of Italians that chased a Black 17-year-old named Yusef Hawkins in Bensonhurst. Hawkins with a couple of friends went to look at a car for sale in that neighborhood. The Italian gang chased them and Fama shot Yusef, killing him. Watch Storm Over Brooklyn for full details.
Nonsense simply because they probably don't consider themselves white. They have Latin sounding English accents in real life. Italians are not white. And Italians don't even act this way! They're "bro"-saying Latinos in real life.
On second thought my father's family actually are purely white so they don't act this way. This would be Puerto Ricans with Latin blood who wanna deny their Latin heritage. And I've know Puerto Ricans like that
First of all Dominicans are closer to black Secondly, -ez-surnamed SPANIARD people who are fully white have Frank Lopez English accents say "scumbag" but it's not contrived. Anyways if you think Nuyoricans and Italians are white with Frank Lopez English accents, who say "scumbag" you're an idiot.
shock houser and secondly l, Dominicans deny their black heritage and try to pretend they’re more white! They have “Crossover” attitudes as if they’re giant sellouts!
@@roderickstockdale1678 First of all they act Hispanic even if they deny their black ancestry, not white. -ez-surnamed Spaniard people are white with Frank Lopez English accent and they say "scumbag" left and right Not Nuyoricans and Italians, who are non-white, have Latin English accents and are dark-skinned. So that's stupid
Rob Jackson Nuyoricans are still PUERTO Ricans so they’re still Spaniards and have ez-names too, so I don’t get what your point is trying to distinguish them from Dominicans and Cubans when they’re Hispanic too! And secondly, I didn’t mean that the Dominicans only considered themselves white...they do act Hispanic but when it comes to black people(African-Americans)the average Dominican is no better than Ben Carson! They are token-acting traitors who view themselves as better than the average African-American probably just because they speak Spanish-and that shouldn’t excite them none because they’re just as low and looked down as us! The Puerto Ricans are viewed better.
Stop acting as if racism wasn't imprted from Europe to your country. Furthermore, you make a sad mistake if you think that the U.S is the most racist place on Earth and no other place is. And get a sense of humour, son. Nobody likes a self flagellator. In fact, as a person who has been Black for fifty odd years, I am VERY suspicious of white "racial self flagellators". I always wonder what literal bodies they have buried int heir attics, whilst signalling a virtue that only helps their own self esteem and nobody else. Now ask me how I know you aren't Black.
That's what interest me, John Turturro in "Do The Right Thing" was an hotheaded racist while in "Jungle Fever" was an gentle soul whom don't see people as color but as equals.
Poor Paulie.
A smart & easy-going dude having to deal w/ these idiots on a daily basis 🤣

@Stretch Gang Nation facts spike Lee and john turturro are freinds in real life I'm sure he help him out
He did grow up in Brooklyn.
Spike Lee’s so full of it in general, I DOUBT that VERY much

Well Spike Lee is from Brooklyn. They have a little Italy
"When Dinkins won, the next day everybody was packing up leaving New York. Now where did you guys go? Around the corner?" 😂
Ahmad McCown is I Love That Too!! LMAO!!! 😂😂
New Jersey and Long Island
Ay NYC around '91 was a powder keg haha
LOL 😂😂😂
This scene is over 30 years old and that part still makes me LMFAO.
Vinnie hated black people sooo much he was blasting Flavor Flav on the way there
😂
A *lot* of racist white guys have been that way, historically...
@@WestIndianAK hypocrites
True...LOL😆🇺🇸🇮🇹🍕
Vinny is self-hating given that many Italians have a lotta black and Arab blood in them.
That Frank Sinatra track in the background made the scene even more gravitating. “It was a very good year” Classic! We’ll never experience this level of authenticity like we did with the movies back in these times and before
Facts movies in the world back then just had that feel vibe to it that I miss
It was the early 90s
If you notice whenever it’s a scene with the Italians they play Sinatra but if it’s gator or his parents they play Mahalia and Stevie Wonder😂
Wow ! Spike Lee really documented this time period of New York City perfectly !
MyIngrate AlbinoChild Time period?? New York is still the same if not worse ,so is the rest of America
Exactly
Aren’t all Sicilians half black ? Lol 😂 I know they shouldn’t be talking
"I'ma cool type of fellow cool, calm, and mellow gtf outta here" the best part in this scene😂😂
Lamont Jenkins Yes it is. Hilarious.
Yusuf Salaam actually said that during the trial
Shit always has me dying the "get the fuck outta here" it's so NYC lol
@@oiram48 cringe ,ngl.
He had a legitimate argument 😂
Watch John Turturro in Do The Right Thing, and then watch him in this--talk about two roles about as different as you can get...
I suspect he deliberately asked Spike for an anti-racist role in this movie after the hella racist role he played in Do The Right Thing...
Watch him in secret window

Perfect example of “A person is smart. People are dumb”🤣🤣🤣💀.
I voted who you voted for thats my business great answer Paulie.
Golf? The people who really thought like that would've blown a gasket when Tiger Woods and the William Sisters came into the picture!
The williams play tennis not golf

Dudes wearing nameplates and listening to public enemy😂
Just like Pino. All his heroes were black.
I see like 5 future Sopranos actors.
Also "Goodfellas"!
I love this scene to be remade today and their thoughts on Mayor Eric Adams.
Patrick Lynch will be their man! 2025 NYC mayor!
"No I had to help my moms out alright" - Patty
That's an excuse

No I didn’t vote. I had to fix my car.
Everyone in that movie was/is a product of Jungle Fever at some time or place or another...
Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! I don't know if they got it though...
Dinkin' Donuts. Ha!
Not even hockey--a bunch of Black Canadians originated THAT game, probably with Native American lacrosse influence.
And I want to add Elijah McCoy. Google him. THAT'S where the term "The Real McCoy" originated, NOT via Walter Brennan.....
These days you’ll encounter quite a few black hockey players. They’re making progress!👍🏽
