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".

    The four stars are just a recognition of the quality of the film: the script is wonderful, the details are brilliant; the shooting is also quite complete, the story is told so smoothly and in one go; ...but it’s not that I don’t like it personally emotionally, even at the beginning of the movie. I'm so disgusted that I want to give 2 stars... Americans really love "crime" movies, and IMDb Top250 has been shortlisted for a lot... Two days ago [IMDb Review 1990-2014 Best Movies] The only "Good Guy" movie that I haven't seen before was completed. .

    The meticulous and charming gangster inspirational film De Niro is always so handsome in the film of the old horse. The song of the last sex pistol suddenly comes out as a rock movie.

Goodfellas quotes

  • 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.
