The story is dark Goodfellas 3/6/2020
Just watched "The Irishman" last weekend, opened Netflix today and saw "Goodfellas" listed, so I just watched this old gangster movie again. The 1990 movie is about the sixties and seventies when gangsters were rampant.
The movie is pretty dark, and it doesn't have the bleakness of The Irishman's killer in his twilight years to balance out a bit of bloodshed. The male protagonist Henry Hill has longed for the gang since he was a child (probably also due to his father's contributing factors). The original intention is the kind of "brothers on the road" of loyalty. Even a child who knows the rules and works well can be treated and reused equally. There is also the "horror" of the gangster, who can easily get what you want by intimidating and intimidating (Tommy scare Henry "what do you mean I'm funny" where it's really exciting and nervous and makes people sweat, Joe Pesci's ruffian He Ruan played really well), it was the fear and respect of others, and there was a beautiful woman in her arms. The part of the male protagonist who pursues excitement and pursuit of vanity is even more amplified by the participation of drugs. He takes risks and almost falls into madness with his wife, until the desperate betrayal gang enters the witness protection program, which will bring this drama to an end.
And women are all vases and tools, they are the targets of male androgen sexual aggression, and they are helpers when they catch up. The one who doesn't bow his head to the soft (the young boy who delivered the wine) is killed by the law of the jungle. The male protagonist followed the two eldest brothers and hurriedly buried the corpse after killing a made man. Soon after he learned that construction was going to break ground there, he rushed to transfer the corpse. These absurd and dark humorous parts are still better in the movie, and they highlight the sense of fear when the civilized order is lost.
Even watching two gangster films this year is interesting. Think about it, after "The Irishman", all the stories have been told, the actors and directors are old, and the theme of gangster movies will probably become more and more silent like Western movies in the future.
