We are all good guys

Gang members are called good guys in the movie, but everyone is not good guys. Human nature is good at first, and when we grow up, we will always envy the image of S2 and pretending to be compelling. The male protagonist’s road to gangsters has already begun when he was a parking boy. The specific social background created a special freedom of thought, or Paul's influence, but in the end it was his unwillingness to ordinary ambitions. If you don’t want to study, you’ll play truant, like james, and the bartender is 100 green back. The young dreams that he discovered and did after he became an adult are all compatible with each other. In the end of the film, Jim laughs at himself and his drunken life is gone forever. It can be said that he is self-willed and degenerate, but it is not the free flow in his bones.

We admire the desire for freedom, but often lose self-discipline in excessive freedom, and eventually become extra-legal fanatics, like the simple and neat three words in the opening title: good fellow

    "Although I am very angry with him, he is still attractive to me. I can't imagine leaving him, who said she must win me..." I didn't expect it to be a gangster completely different from "Once Upon a Time in America" The film, and the whole process is high-energy, there is no urine point, two and a half hours is relaxed and happy, Nima is also too good-looking! #上海电影节Day3#

    Sure enough, I have no feelings for gangster movies. The godfather was able to impress me completely because of his father-son relationship. He didn't have any good feelings for the family. He did some conscientious things and finally survived by betrayal. I have seen the most disgusting protagonist.

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.
