Good stuff Mr. Tom. Excellent critical analysis.

The long-tracking dolly-camera scene in Tony's bar with the girls and Rolling Stones "Tell Me"...

Charlie's encounter with the dancer girl (who was black) when he regressed to racist denial because he couldn't deal with his feelings for her...

Charlie torn between his aspirations to go into "business" with Uncle Giovanni and his fading yet still true loyalty to epileptic Teresa and mentally-challenged Johnny Boy...

Pure Scorsese genius and a masterpiece of film-making.
