    Mean Streets

    Mean Streets is Scorsese’s breakthrough film, his first financed by a major studio – Warner Brothers, though it’s not exactly a blockbuster-budget affair. Charlie, the film’s protagonist, struggles to maintain his sense of Catholic values despite being in the world of the petty Mafiosi – he’s not a made man by any stretch of the imagination, but he’s trying. He’s also a devout Catholic, who understands that “you don’t pay for your sins in church; you do it in the street – you do it at home.” He knows that the act of the confessional in Catholicism cannot truly absolve him of his actions and even thoughts. Taking care of the “crazy” Johnny Boy is part of his punishment. He also must balance the wishes of his uncle with his own emotional and romantic/sexual needs: he is in love with Teresa, Johnny Boy’s cousin, an epileptic, but must keep that affair a secret, because his uncle disapproves of such an involvement with a girl who is, in the uncle’s words, “crazy in the head.” Teresa also challenges Charlie’s religious devotion: “Saint Francis [of Assisi] didn’t run numbers,” she admonishes him, when he tries to explain why he helps Johnny Boy. Charlie believes that family – and friendship – is important, yet he must also be ruthless if he is going to advance in his uncle’s manner. Charlie and his three friends – Michael, Tony, and Johnny Boy – share one peaceful moment early in the film, where they toast. It is their final such moment, because Johnny owes Mike money and this will be the “end” for him and Charlie, who vouched for him. As Ian Penman puts it, the four characters are guys – not yet men, no longer boys, in that period of transition, trying to be adults yet with so few “legitimate” role models.…

    When Marion arrives in Bronx he instantly feels culture shock from the speed and lack of noise of American cars, to the short tempered cab driver that threatens him with a gun (Verghese, 2009, p.464). Marion was familiar with the Missing Hospital in Africa, and nearly oblivious to the fact that Our Lady of Perpetual Succour was understaffed and poor compared to other hospitals (Verghese, 2009, p. 467). However, Marion seemed to truly enjoy the long hours of caring for patient’s that Missing wouldn’t have been able to treat despite the vast amount of crime and reputation of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour (Verghese, 2009, p.478). When Marion has to tell Mr. Walters that he had cancer, he finally gets a chance to connect with a patient and even…
