Leading one’s own life
A man can’t make up his mind because he tries to please all the people who are important in his life, like his mother and his friends. Yet they don’t give him clear directions regarding important decisions in his life, like deciding whether to buy a business or to marry a girl that he likes.
Each of these people advises him according what it good for them and not what is good for him. Both his friends and his mother like him and look to him for friendship and support. Their advice, not to buy the business and not to marry the girl he loves, is based on their need for him as a solid person who gives their lives support.
I think that Ernest Borgnine shows himself as a brilliant actor in portraying Marty. Esther Minciotti gives a wonderful portrayal of a typical Italian mother and Augusta Ciolli gives a very convincing performance at the hysterical aunt.The movie succeeds in keeping us in suspense regarding the outcome of his inner struggle to come to the correct decision.
