The two people dancing is my great grandmother and great uncle (may she Rest In Peace). They filmed it right in her little apartment she got when moving in from Sicily. The apartment was located in little Italy :)
Though its a commerical. It is avant garde art. The mixture of Robert DeNiro, directing by Martin Scorese, and music by Philip Grass make this a memorable piece. Though it is promoting Amex, you can still apreciate it as a short film.
his voice, his words, his face, he is deniro! the music score is phillip glass, "mishima" i think, the opening, but it is not the same as the commercial.
I have just listened to THE ILLUSIONIST soundtrack, and think that the tracks The Orange Tree, The Sword, and Sophie are the ones closest to the theme used in the Amex commercial. Still, I would like to have a recording of the exact music used in the commercial. Also, do you know that when DeNiro talks about "his private side", the images are of paintings done by his father, the very fine Abstract Expressionist painter Robert DeNiro, Sr.?
Robert De Niro made it way past the finish line.. He did a brilliant performance in Everybody's Fine.. and it was an awesome to watch him get honored at the Kennedy Awards last night
@bklynbonnie2 is it really you? thank you for being in the shot-- it's where all we locals were in our hearts, during the days of the pyre, the pile, the hole. i seem to remember a version of this were he refers to his 'North Star' as the shot pans across the hole--or perhaps that is just my own memory.
@bigantho1 depressing? why? as a lifelong NYer in exile for the last year, i still find this viddy to capture so much of what makes NYC the place that it is. and yes, :41 is a moment in NYC's life that will always be part of its history going forward.
Are you certain? It has some similar elements, but sounds more like a variation on "The Chase" from the movie "The Illusionist," which he also composed.
They had to shell out some CHEEZ to get him to do that commercial (since he would never put up with AmEx not being accepted in half the places you'd want to buy something).
Reply to 'rockinroller7' Weyhey ... hold on a sec. This is not about 'New York' nor what He thinks about it! This is about advertising "American Express"! All Companies try to get a real popular celeb to promote their product, because it draws people's attention, and subsequently new customers ! Yes, actors are people too, but don't think for one minute that he wasn't paid for it!
Game/Nas~Don’t Body Yourself~50Cent Diss Track brought me here🤣 Nas says smthn’ abt De Niro and Amex Commercials and I just realized smthn’…Amex=American Express😂🤦🏽♂️
does anybody know what in the world this mreldude is talking about because Robert De Niro is still the greatest actor ever i have no idea what poor decision or whatever ur talking about is
It's always sad to see a true artist sell out to monied interests in his old age. The really sad thing is that DeNiro had gone most of his life and career diligently maintaining his artistic integrity. Sadly, he let go of that vigilance near the end of his life with one poor decision, and he will end all those years of artistic credibility with a black mark next to his name. I guess he just didn't have what it took to make it to the finish line. Luckily there's still Pacino to pin our hopes on.

This is one of the best commercials I've seen in 20 years.
Pretty damn good commercial when you're still watching it 9 years later

Wow. This commercial actually made me cry back then when I saw it in the cinema (silently).
This is the score composed by Philip Glass for the 2002 film "The Hours"
Thank youuuuuu .... I just wanted so much to know about this splendid score !!!! Thank you !!!!!

So many commercials, but a few stick in my mind. This is one of them. Good stuff.
Yep !!
sublime.
A great advertisement, I saw it not once but several times and I liked it a lot.
ugh, just gorgeous. it makes me love new york even more.
Great commercial. Scorcese scores large with this fantastic vignette of DeNiro in his New York.
I actually anticipated this commercial whenever there was a break in a tv show, and I was happy when they played this one. It's fucking brilliant.

Bravo DeNiro! ;)
My heart breaks too!
I've listened to the score for "The Hours" and I didn't here this [musical [selection]] anywhere.
That sounds like Philip Glass, too!
What an ad!

annie leibovitz is a photographer if I´m not wrong.

new york !!!!!!!!!!!! my city !!!!!!!!!!
Wow--when did DeNiro get OLD? I was so in love with him when I was 12 (ca. "Taxi Driver")

Commercial freaked the fuk out of me as a kid
0:23: ALBANESE🇦🇱.
ROBERTO DE NIRO have ALBANIAN descent also.
pretty sure its also been used on the soundtrack to the movie "The Hours"
ahhh, new york is new york, another planet, far from everything else!

what is the name of this backmusic?
Same composer, absolutely-- but not the same piece. You're thinking about "The Chase," from "The Illusionist."
howdid they get those guys? shaymalan,wes anderson, de niro,scorsese...
It is Philip Glass, I'm looking for the exact name of the soundtrack, but so far nothing.
Artist and song name please people??
Yanaman its philip glass
home the movie . com
another love letter
does anybody know what in the world this mreldude is talking about because Robert De Niro is still the greatest actor ever i have no idea what poor decision or whatever ur talking about is
Didn't Martin Scorsese direct this commercial?
Really? Are you sure it's not from The Hours?
i think scorsese made it
That surely isn't Philip Glass, is it?
damn right class is permanent Check out Taxi Driver Tribute in my videos in my account. Imagine if travis bickle's reflection actually fights back!
philip gLass ;)

mreldude He just sold the Tribeca Fim Festival to Rupert Murdoch of all people. for a huge sum. Isn't that awful? i'm so disappointed right about now.
good fellas is better
I come from the Ukraina.
I come from Poland.
It's all about money, hey maybe you are a better actor than him, but no one wants to see your "not sold out acting"
yea...classy, it's a fuckin advertisement. nothing classy about that.
Jesus christ, it's not that good.
Just because it's made by Scorsese makes it a masterpiece?
