The reaction of this stage of the filming of the Italian gangster film is almost epic. From the time when the protagonist was a child, he became atmospheric until he finally died, and then this film uses a narration method to describe the protagonist's inner feelings and comments on the stories that happened in the film. When the film is halfway through, we can definitely appreciate the slightly different angle of the film. He was standing in an atmosphere shrouded by the boss who could not compare with the status of the boss, and the boss and others killed without blinking an eye. In the end, how to survive and how to keep yourself from being killed by your companions has indeed become a problem to be considered. So the whole story is about how to survive in the cracks. However, I always feel that the film is weird, maybe because the so-called brother's affection in this gangster film is too different from what we see in the Hong Kong film.

    If Coppola made the gangster into an opera, then Scorsese made the gangster into a rock: there is no order, only chaos, everyone thinks he can control his destiny, but everyone has to bow his head in front of fate. After three years of rewatching, I found that I was still naive at the beginning, and it was amazing to marvel at the mirroring and editing of Lao Ma.

    The Golden Globe Academy BAFTAs, without exception, don't even have a Best Score nomination. After watching it for the third time, I heard that the ending is my way of sex pistols

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.
