so carlito’s way and the goodfellas were released around the same time so in my silly head (bc in reality carlito’s way takes place in 1975 but WHATEVER) carlito brigante and jimmy conway walked the streets of nyc the very same year SO THEY MUST HAVE MET AT SOME POINT
keep walking
one night carlito is at the club, controlling the situation and shit when they tell him some italians have entered the place which is odd bc it’s late and this isn’t brooklyn so they shouldn’t be there.
so carlito looks closer and that’s when he sees HIM
and yk he’s not supposed to, since italians and puertoricans don’t get along well (i mean for the purpose of this they don’t, but i really hope they do okay) and sure he’s retired but he’s still loyal to his values, but god he does feel intrigued by that man!
casually, as if he hadn’t noticed him, carlito gets out of his office and goes sitting at the counter, the bartender immediately making him a drink (and carlito knows the stranger’s eyes are on him).
the man sits across carlito, lighting up a cigarette and looking right at him when blowing a white cloud of smoke.
AND BOOM THEY ARE IN LOVE
thank you for your attention 😔😔😔
(+ this song gives u the general vibe of the situation)
i just love how they really said “we gotta write about a fighter living in nyc…let’s go to the caribbean to get inspired !! 😀😀😀”
De Niro and Martin Scorsese went to the Caribbean island of Saint Maarten in 1979 to rewrite the screenplay of Raging Bull. On their last day there, Scorsese decided it would be fun to send up the producer Irwin Winkler by pretending they had spent their time drinking instead of working. Gloria Norris, who would transcribe their notes into a completed screenplay, took these snaps.
