Does the dog die?

Analyze This
Movie • 1999 • Comedy
ReportCountless wiseguy films are spoofed in this film that centers on the neuroses and angst of a powerful Mafia racketeer who suffers from panic attacks. When Paul Vitti needs help dealing with his role in the "family," unlucky shrink Dr. Ben Sobel is given just days to resolve Vitti's emotional crisis and turn him into a happy, well-adjusted gangster.

I'm pretty sure there's no dog. In any case, no dog is prominently featured.

Someone frantically babbling under stress tells that he was once dressed (up) as a woman, going by a female name. No one in the movie laughs, but the context and the way it's played is clearly meant to be funny to viewers.

Depends on your definition of "mentally ill". The whole movie is about a mafia boss who has deep-seated emotional issues which lead to him having recurring panic attacks. I wouldn't call him mentally ill, but I guess some people would. I don't believe we see him actually causing someone physical harm, but he does threaten to do so (including lifting a crowbar as if to strike someone during an interrogation), and it's obvious that he's been violent in the past. Anyway, it's almost like it's the other way around: His emotional problems are causing him to NOT commit violence anymore (for instance, we see him finding himself unable to shoot someone in a situation in which he'd normally do it, and in which it would be in his interest to do it).

Well... Someone is thrown into a shark tank in a marine theme park, and we see him (through an underwater aquarium window) struggling for a few moments to get out of the water and away from the sharks, obviously holding his breath. It's played for laughs, and he comes out just fine (just a little shaken). I'm sorry, but I'm not sure if we see him coming out of the water gasping/coughing or not.

Tricky. I'm almost 100% certain that we don't actually see someone who's a parent die in the movie, but the death of parents plays a considerable role. For one thing, a man is traumatised by having seen his father murdered when he was a child, which is at the root of his overall emotional/mental problem; he breaks down and wails about it in one scene, crying "I'm sorry, dad" over and over, finally mourning the father's death and his own feeling of guilt about the death. For another thing, a man has a dream in which he's another grown man's father, and in that dream he's shot and dies, and the other man cries "No, no, papa... papa..." Furthermore, there's a church memorial service scene, in which the deceased man's grown daughter is present. We see her only briefly, and she's calm and composed. ... I think that's all. On a side note, there's no sickness or old-age weakness in the movie.

A man is pushed from a window or a balcony. We see most of the fall and hear his scream and the sound of a table breaking when he lands on it, but we don't see the impact or the body.

I don't remember any spitting or actual farting, but in one scene a person makes fake loud sounds of strain, pretending to poop big-time, to mask the real sound of something he's doing.

FBI agents are shown using dirty tricks and threatening violence to an innocent person. Police officers show up to arrest a bunch of mafia bosses, which is indisputably the right thing to do in the context, but the police is not portrayed as righteous heroes or badasses.

A man has a steady relationship with a mistress, even though he apparently loves his wife. It's a classic Madonna/whore thing - he wants some specific sexual things done to him, but he doesn't want his wife to do it. We see him have sex with the mistress once. We don't know if the wife knows.

Hmm... Expressing how intensely distressed she's been, a woman says "I even ate a Rice Krispie's Treat". There's no follow-up whatsoever to the sentence, but it MAY indicate that she has some sort of eating disorder.

Not in the course of the movie, nor in flashbacks, BUT a man tells that his father "slapped him around" on one specific occasion as an admonition. He says it as if it's no big deal, which arguably indicates that it wasn't a super unusual occurence for him. No detailed description, just that sentence. We also find out that someone (not friends or family members) shot a man while the man's son was present, which traumatised the boy. We see the boy as a man, describing the event and breaking down, dealing with the trauma for the first time. I know that that not what's meant by "Is a child abused?", but I wanted to mention it.

Someone suggests that someone may be suffering from Oedipal Complex. The other person, who's never heard about the phenomenon before, takes it very literally when it's explained to him. Thinking that he's being accused of actually, literally wanting to have sex with his mother, he profusely protests.
