Everything is virtual

"The Godfather", "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and "The Good Guy" After reading the classic trilogy of gangsters, feelings:

"Anything, existence is reason"...Some things, friends, teachers, books, movies, and even the society can't tell you, their only use is for your reference and judgment. Most things, you know, rarely have a truly neutral stand. Whether it’s morality or law or everything in this society, it’s like a movie theme. You have to express its “good” values ​​or things to people, so it’s bound to be It will also belittle its "bad" values ​​or things to people. It's like promoting politics, democracy, and communism in war movies...or promoting the utopia of "love" in ethics movies... It's like advertising in an artist's paintings. So, is this still called "art". I don't even bother about films that are narrow in breadth and lack "real".

You have the ability to break the rules... and then it is destroyed by you... Then, you must also have the means to exempt the rules.

You are pointed out as violent because you are not violent enough.

The same is true among political groups. If you control the economy of a country, then you don’t care who makes the law. The gang was acting naked.

"Good Guy" is also a weak and marginal figure in the underworld. The practical significance of this story is that their struggle will never be recognized, and their destiny has only one ending from beginning to end: being abandoned. The significance of the myth lies in the ending Henry escaped this fate, and the method is exactly the rules he learned in the sinister arena: there are no rules and no morality, but they do "exist".

    An excellent promotional video for the eradication of gangsters, a textbook for composition and mirroring, and the use of narration at the god level. It feels different from the gangster movies I watched in the past. What is remarkable is that there is no romantic decoration at all. There are only violence and chaos. Brotherhood, love, and family affection are just tools for self-protection, but righteous words are always available. Was used and thrown away. Martin Scorsese knows this too well. He understands that if you want to persuade you not to play with fire, it will be useless to talk about it, so he must burn you.

    The earliest impression of this is when I was in elementary school, and I watched it with my father in a hotel in Xinjiang. At that time, I only remembered the title of the film, but I couldn't understand it at all. Later, it was replayed in the collection of al & robert. Warm, the feeling is, a lot of foul language, joe pacci (I don't know if I spell it like that), it's a fucking wolf.

Goodfellas quotes

  • Henry Hill: [Narrating] These are the guys Jimmy put together for what turned out to be the biggest heist in American history: the Lufthansa heist. Tommy and Carbone were going to grab the outside guard and make him get us in the front door, Frenchy and Joe Buddha had to round up the workers, Johnny Roastbeef had to keep them all tied up and away from the alarm, even Stacks Edwards got in on it, all he was supposed to do was steal the panel truck and afterwards compact it with a friend of ours in New Jersey. Only Morrie was driving us nuts - just because he set this up, he felt he could bust Jimmy's balls for an advance on the money we were going to steal. He didn't mean anything by it; it was just the way he was.

  • Jimmy Conway: [referring to Henry and Karen] She'll never divorce him. She'll kill him but she won't divorce him.
