thieves are right

The movie is called Good Guy, and it also has another translation called Pirates and You Dao. I still think Pirates and You Dao can better highlight what the director has to say.
Henry's dream since he was a child was to join a gang, yearning for that kind of free and unfettered life. Of course, his dream came true when he was a teenager. He helped the gang to steal, rob, and was caught in the police station for the first time, without revealing anyone's information, the gang people came out and told him that they were proud of him, proud of him, and seemed to have gained more trust. There is a brotherly love between the two, and there is also a thief, which seems to be the inflection point of the whole film.
Tommy kills for the sake of a sentence, killing is just a small daily matter for him; Jimmy killed all the brothers who helped him rob the robbery, just for his own money, without any morality; Henry lived in prison, Paulie didn't care about his family and left him to fend for himself. Henry could only sell drugs to make a living. After he was released from prison, Paulie came forward to prevent Henry from selling drugs, just for fear of affecting him. All the characters in the film don't see any humanity, they are all for themselves.
The godfather and the good guy both describe the stories of gangsters, but they are completely different. The godfather is a gentleman who stands behind and strategizes. The good guy is a gangster without any humanity, and there is no trust between people. Piece together. Henry started out for freedom, in order to live a life of intoxication, and into gangs for an unfettered life, and finally he turned to tainted witnesses in order not to be killed by those who took advantage of him, but he still likes gang life, towards Jiu Evening 5 can't make him infatuated with money, but the real gang can't even talk about freedom, and even his life can't be guaranteed.

    Once again plunged into the world of images meticulously modulated by old Martin. Re-watched in January 2013, the scene switching and plot connection were a little overwhelming, but the use of music was still wonderful. Revisited in 2017 on 4.4. In September 2019, to welcome the release of "The Irishman"

    Adapted from real life, it tells the legendary experience of American gang celebrity Henry Hill in the arena for more than 30 years. It shows meticulously the life of a New York Italian gang member from childhood to adulthood, and vividly shows the underworld figure. Unique lifestyle and distinctive values. I am generally not resistant to this kind of gangster epic, and the songs Martin chose for the movie are so good to hear, it won’t work if you don’t give full marks!

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.
