Fool style

The film's narrative seems casual, it is actually the world in the eyes of the male protagonist, and there is a subjective lens.
The rivers and lakes have the rules and dangers of the rivers and lakes. There is a way of doing things on the Tao, and once enmity and hatred are involved, the struggle between them is very cruel. Ironically Goodfellas.
Almost everyone in the film is in a feeling of self-righteousness, so communication and dialogue are difficult, and when conflicts are encountered, they will kill them. The self-righteous circle is too easy to transform the interests of enemies and friends, which is a dangerous state of the jungle.

At first glance, the hero Henry is okay, but the more he looks, the more he feels his character is bad. Walking on the streets without learning and skill, there is no law and emotion in his heart, and he has not really cared about anything. He just likes the irresponsible feeling of being superior, enjoying the cool and turbulent "lifestyle" of the black school.
The wanderer who fools around all day, robs and sells drugs and does not touch his home. He hadn't really thought about what life was for and what he was doing. He never took everything in life seriously, including what his family and the boss said to him. The swinger has thin emotions.

Because I don't want to live an ordinary life, I want to live an irresponsible and superior life, and I am involved in the gang. (The background of "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​is similar, but the development of the story is different. He did not have any introspection of life.)
After the robbery and drug trafficking, it was difficult to see what he was doing. There is no law of emotion in his heart. (The male protagonist in "Exhausted" also has no laws of good and evil, but his life is indifferent, and there are inner contradictions that are ironic entanglements.)
He is not the "irony state" of modern people, but a state of betrayal of all principles and morals. He There is a problem with the legitimacy of existence. He is proud of all his irresponsible things. The malignant tumor of the society is devastating, and there is no law and no emotional anti-social personality.

At the end of the story, it seemed that he had retired all over, but he was in a solitary state. He betrayed everyone in his life, betrayed the laws of society and the laws of the world, and he was squeezed out of the rules of the game of mankind.
He did not find a way out for his life, nor did he repent of what he did. He has been wandering through his youth and middle age. He still doesn't understand the importance of family and career to men. He hasn't understood what responsibility and love are, and he hasn't understood how to live life.

    The look and feel of the second brush is better than the first brush, but the rhythm personally thinks it is not as good as "Casino Wind and Cloud". Brotherhood is a superficial foil in front of self-interest. I respect you because I look up to you, but it does not mean that I will go to prison with you. The narration is applied so skillfully that it doesn't sound redundant, and points are again added to Scoumek's editing and Joe Pesci's frantic performance. I will never forget the scene of the pink Cadillac when Layla's piano music played.

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.
