Afterthoughts and spoilers

The rhythm of this movie is too tight~ The plot becomes uncontrollable before it reacts~ The latter half of the story is promoted in a narrative way. To be honest, if you don't appreciate the plot, you really don't have much patience to watch. Henry, who was born in a city with a high crime rate, has admired the underworld business since he was a child, and gave up his studies to follow a few older brothers. Meet Jimmy and Tommy, big shots at the time. Once he was arrested for selling smuggled cigarettes and went to court, but in fact, the judge was bribed and exiled like a glorious one, and was recognized by the gangsters. Adult Henry and Tommy met Kelly when they went out in the nightclub. They fell in love, Kelly was often harassed by perverted neighbors, and Henry, who couldn't see it, beat him violently. So the two ushered in the wedding of life. The trio of gangs are thriving, and an older brother who can't understand them even speaks sarcastically. The three seem to be fine, who knows that the Queen of Autumn will settle the accounts and beat the elders to death. He was buried for fear of troubles ~ Who knows that the place where he was buried was preparing to build a mansion, but the corpse was moved again. It didn't take long for Henry Apricot to go out of the wall and have a secret lover, which caused his wife to sink into the house every day, and even threatened Henry with a gun at him while he was asleep. The reconciliation of the last two eldest brothers was able to temporarily calm down. As the gang boss became arrogant and arrogant, he beat a receptionist into a hornet's nest when he didn't agree with him, which caused Jimmy to be angry and order him to handle the corpse carefully. After a while, the three of them were beaten up. A mob, the sister of the mob was an FBI clerk and had to be sentenced to jail, but they were as comfortable as magnifying a fake while in prison. Four years later, a big robbery organized by Jimmy was a perfect success, and the amount of robbery amounted to 6 million U.S. dollars. Let them have a heavenly Christmas in triumph. At the Christmas banquet, Jimmy kept telling his subordinates not to be public, and accused a kid who bought a famous car. Soon the crime of money controlled Jimmy’s humanity. Jimmy was afraid that those who asked him for money all day would say it, so he killed them one by one. Quit the mouth. The room leaked in the night rain, and Tommy, who was promoted to the Mafia, was killed by the Mafia because of his conduct. Henry entered the downhill of his life at this time. Arrested for drug trafficking ~ His wife used a house mortgage to release Henry on bail. Henry was desperate to ask Jimmy for money. Suspicious Jimmy suspected that Henry would be convicted of his own design and framed Henry, and Henry quickly realized the danger. He could only rely on FBI personnel, and the FBI offered generous conditions to ask him to testify against Jimmy and the other boss. Henry did it and lived a life like under house arrest from then on~

    [A] God-level rhythm control, Lao Ma made this film like a palace-level rock and roll, sharp and vicious editing and delicate and soft lens movement, coupled with endless husband and wife voiceovers and instant freeze-frame shots. Together they formed this unique gangster biopic. Different from other gangster epic movies that criticize the "American Dream", the characters and environment under the lens of Ma Ma reveals the word "crazy" from beginning to end: mad entrepreneurship, mad peak, and finally mad fall. And these money, wine, drugs, dreams, pride and morality, in the end, they all lead to those mediocre, ordinary, ordinary and stable lives. There is no trance like a dream, no trance of vicissitudes of life, and some are just ironic. After the criticism, there was a helpless mockery.

    After the drunken gold fan, the fearful, murderous intent hidden in the joke. The yin bird is hesitant and arrogant, so your performance here is often not "big brother". But these are the completions of the character arcs, and it cannot be said to be the credit of the gang's running accounts. Who said that the setting of suspense often allows the image characters to be slightly ahead of the audience or vice versa, the same ignorant "factory picks clothes", I also see the palms of sweaty hands!

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.
