GoodFellas by Martin Scrosese has watched a lot of old Martin's movies so far. Personally, I think he does two things most often, which truly shows the distance between the gangsters dispelling the gangsters and the real ordinary people's imagination. Even deliberately smashing the elegant and romantic side of the gang (the only place where the gang can be romanticized comes from the family, relatives and friends, in this movie the male protagonist is a total betrayal of the bastard), many celebrity banquets and entertainment venues because Even yelling and even killing people at the slightest quarrel. , The life state of cooking in the kitchen can be seen one or two. Another thing is to focus on depicting and showing us the storm in the hearts of ordinary people, such as angry bulls and taxi drivers. Among the good guys, I don't think Scorsese is the best at any point. I even feel a little mediocre. On the one hand, I may not like the male protagonist’s temperament and appearance. On the other hand, I am really surprised to find that I am a little bit tired of the lost and declining gangster movies in the 670s and 890s. The advancement of the story layout that shines in front of people has always been the old one in the good guys, it is still the iron triangle of Martin De Niro and Joe Pessi, and then it is also used to advance and show the entire story line from the perspective of a gang member. So it goes without saying that this is definitely a guaranteed movie configuration. But it’s hard not to subconsciously compare this with the American past after reading it, because it is also a "American Dream Broken" (symbolic) story. The time is also after the American dream, but the elements are much less. Edit There are not too many special highlights, but the lens language is still top-notch and enjoyable. I won’t be screaming in this movie. I want to especially praise Joe Pessi’s improvisation of the place where the male lead is joking.
