      Goodfellas--A Crazy And Addicting Movie

      This movie is amazing; it's so enjoyable to watch, and it's done in one go. Robert De Niro, in contrast to the crazy and neurotic character in the poor streets, played a cruel, scheming, and ruthless Jimmy here, and Joe Pessi played the lunatic Tommy, because this quarrel killed a mafia boss. The character on the facade; the beginning of the...

      GoodFellas: The Unrepentant are Destined to be Traitors

      It's purely a coincidence that after watching "The Cruel Story of Youth", "Goodfellas", and "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​at SIFF this year, I found myself accidentally falling into a "bad word" and had the opportunity to look at it from the perspective of a very minority group. Looking at the world again, it is so powerful that it oozes blood.

      Before picking up the pen, Brain Road automatically retrieved the classic movie "The...

      Does the thief have a clue?

      Martin Scorsese is a true "realist" director. He was as calm as a ramble, telling stories of gangsters. They terrorize, rob, fall in love, have children, kill, sell drugs, take drugs, and have birthday parties. Just like we eat, drink, and wash our faces, they are the daily life of gangsters. It has no temperance, it can do whatever it wants, only you have a gun, a fierce and self-respecting heart, and you can get wealth, power, and even status that ordinary people can't reach. It's bounded...

      Very flat and academic

      Real plot, plain expression, complicated details. Don't talk about suspense and burden, this is not Director Ma's style. The reason why this film can be called a classic is all due to the director's lens language and the delicate performances of the veteran actors.
        As always, the film is more than two hours long, and there are no montages, flashbacks and other fancy decorations. Director Ma just wants to show everyone that this guy named Hill is from his teens to his thirties. How to mix...

      Goodfellas

      The film narratively wrote a gangster Henry's experience from joining the party to becoming a protected witness. This is a completely different life, the life of Gangster who adheres to the philosophy of violence. There are a lot of freeze-frame pictures in the movie, showing the nodes of Henry's gangster career like a photo exhibition. Goodfellas means that the brothers cannot be betrayed, but the game of the prisoner's dilemma determines the outcome of this two defeats. It is a little ironic...

      "The Godfather Trilogy", "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and "Goodfellas" are classic gangster films. My favorite is Once Upon a Time in America. The whole play finally remembered trainspotting, and the final Sid version of "My way" was really...

      Such a handsome De Niro, such a handsome Liotta, never imagined that a whole family of gangsters would be brought into chatter by the crazy Joe Pesci. Although it did not have the thrill of taking out a gun from the Pacino toilet tank, it was more of a calmness in which Lyotard took the beautiful hand and walked through the winding kitchen to the spotlight in the hotel lobby. "The Wolf of Wall Street" made up for an old horse the night...

    Filming tidbits

    According to Motto, Perscy wrote and directed the film "Do you think I am ridiculous?" at the request of Scorsese.
    The word "fuck" is mentioned 246 times in the movie, most of which came from Joe Pacesi.
    It is said that Jimmy Burke, the real-life gang boss at the time, was very happy to have Robert De Niro play him, and he still called him some opinions in prison. The original author and screenwriter Nicholas Pelki denied this. He said...

    Movie quotes

    • Henry Hill: [narrating] And then there was Jimmy Two Times, who got that nickname because he said everything twice, like:

      Jimmy Two Times: I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.

    • Henry Hill: [narrating] All they got from Paulie was protection from other guys looking to rip them off. That's what it's all about. That's what the FBI can never understand - that what Paulie and the organization offer is protection for the kinds of guys who can't go to the cops. They're like the police department for wiseguys.

    • Henry Hill: [narrating] Paulie may have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody.
