Raging Bull: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. career (career crisis): New York, New York ⇒ Raging Bull (the host's read). New York, New York's failure and bad reviews, with drugs and a collapsing marriage, pushed Scorsese toward making Raging Bull as a lifeline.
    “New York, New York comes out to bad reviews.”

Raging Bull: 2 lines career ×1 unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (repetition and improv): Raging Bull → New York, New York. Both lean on repeated improvised dialogue, but Raging Bull's repetition is funny and drives the brothers, while New York, New York's is punishing.
    “New York has the same very repetitive or cursive improvs, but it's not funny.”

Harvey Keitel: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (casting): Harvey Keitel → New York, New York. Keitel's Judas is a better version of what De Niro's Jimmy Doyle is trying to be, without charm.
    “Keitel's presence in this feels like a better version of what Jimmy Doyle is trying to be without trying to make him charming.”

The Last Temptation of Christ: 1 line craft ×1

  1. craft (structural): The Last Temptation of Christ → New York, New York. Both run long stretches of repeated set pieces around a central pairing, then a final act turning inward, ending in a tragic blow; Last Temptation reads as a corrective.
    “I think this movie is fascinatingly, structurally so similar to New York, New York.”
