Goodfellas (stylized as GoodFellas) is a 1990 American crime film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is a film adaptation of the 1986 non-fiction book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scorsese. The film narrates the rise and fall of mob associate Henry Hill (the first-person narrator in the film) and his friends over a period from 1955 to 1980.
Goodfellas is often regarded as one of the greatest films of all time, both in the crime genre and in general. The film ranks #6 on Empire magazine's 2008 list of the 500 greatest movies of all time. In 2000, the film was deemed "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant" and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the United States Library of Congress. Its content and style have been emulated in numerous other films and television shows. Scorsese followed up making this film with two more about organized crime: Casino (1995) and The Departed (2006).

jbot91 I know, right? In Wise Guy, Henry Hill never said anything regarding his “escape attempts” from the mob in his earlier years by joining the military or by buying a restaurant in a different area. He talks about the murder of Billy Batts, said Tommy & Jimmy were crazy, but that’s the end of it. Mostly complained about cleaning out his trunk himself then having to buy a new car ‘cause of the corpse smell.

@jyuyd8274 3 жыл бұрын

You have to look at gangster movies in terms of mafia hierarchy. Goodfellas is about low level associates. The only true member of the mafia was Paulie. The characters were just street criminals in the employ of the mafia. A movie like Casino looks at the midlevel gangster. While Ace was jewish and not a made man, Nicky certainly was, and was in fact essentially a capo or captain. The Godfather obviously looks at the lives of the top end mobsters. I love all three of those films but it's very difficult to compare them because their plots center around completely different dynamics.

Important to note that Henry was probably lying about "trying to get away from those guys", there is a good reason why Scorsese didn't include this repeated "desire" in the movie. I think he didn't believe it, and I am inclined to agree. Also, knowing that Tommy was a psycho 6 foot something tall guy who supposedly randomly shot a pedestrian to death in order to test his gun makes him way more menacing in real life than in the movie. Additionally, the detail of the truck driver giving a slight nod to the guys then shouting about a black person stealing his truck is awful lol, but probably true.

I remember listening to Henry Hill being interviewed on the Howard Stern show. And midway through the interview, Spider's real life sister calls into the show. She starts grilling Henry Hill to reveal what they did with Spider's body after they killed him. The woman talked about how her brother's sudden disappearance affected her family, especially her parents. She just wanted to find some closure, but Henry Hill just kept dodging her questions. At this point in time, I had no idea that Spider was even a real person. It was a very eerie moment where real life imitates art.

Although Billy Batts' murder was for the most part, shown to be a revenge slaying due to Batts; disrespect of Tommy, earlier in the movie, there is an understated scene that does somewhat let the audience in on the fact that there was also a conflict between Batts and Jimmy Conway. At one point, we see Conway and Batts speaking to one another. Because its a quiet conversation, they dont initially appear to be arguing, but if you listen, you can hear Batts getting annoyed with Jimmy as he tells him that he wants what is due to him. This was about the loan sharking racket that was formerly run by Billy Batts and had been taken over by Jimmy after Batts had gone to prison. Billy was letting Jimmy know that now that he was out, he expected the business to be returned to him, which was something that Jimmy of course, didn't want to do. So although it's subtle, the film actually does reference Jimmy's reason for being involved in the murder and why he seemed to have so few qualms about helping Tommy kill a made guy.

Kudos to pointing out that the real Tommy DiSimeone was a hulk compared to Pesci, but yes, that spirit is there. Also, my understanding is that Jimmy's last name was depicted as "Conway" because, yes, Burke was incarcerated then and the studio did not want to risk a possible defamation suit. Conway was, from what I have heard, Burke's mother's maiden name. Nice work.

A former coworker/friend would've been in Goodfellas if the real characters were used as he managed the room in the Copa Club in which Henry wined and dined Karen as they enjoyed the show. He knew Tony Bennet, Jimmy Durante, Nat King Cole, etc as the Copa was a big-time establishment in it's day. My friend eventually left and became the mater dei in one of the restaurants at Steve Wynn's Golden Nugget in AC. Ironically, he became good friends with the guy who owned the restaurant which the mob burned to the ground in the movie(the same guy who approached Tommy about his growing unpaid bill and got hit in the head with a bottle for it). Whenever he was in town performing in AC he would contact my friend and they would go golfing. RIP, Sammy!

Hill's claims of dyslexia and learning disabilities have to be taken with a grain of salt; he always portrayed himself as a victim when it suited him and used this as a way of retroactively distancing himself from the atrocities perpetrated by his accomplices -- atrocities which he almost certainly had a hand in else he would have been murdered. The Billy Batts thing is a perfect example; it's absurd to think that he didn't directly participate in the murder considering it was his closest associates who were doing.

I don't know if this is a controversial take or not but i really do think the real Henry Hill was just an unlucky guy. Growing up with ADHD and Dyslexia must've been really hard. Who knows, maybe if his mental health was taking care of he might've become a role model citizen.

Not a controversial take at all. It’s the opinion of Michael Franzese.

There's absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever that add is actually a thing. Anyone with an ounce of intellect does some research and you find a lot of interesting data that says.. everything we're doing is destroying the minds in education of young boys. Blaming a very unique way of interacting with reality on ADD is not helping anyone. We've lost all of our virtue if people make excuses like this Jesus

I watched this on January 1st, 2023 and I realized that three cast members in this movie died last year: Ray Liotta, Tony Sirico, and Paul Sorvino, respectively. I need to watch this movie for real. UPDATE: I just learned of a fourth cast member in the movie who died last year: Paul Herman. This fact simply has to be shocking.

Goodfellas was an absolute classic. The Godfather made the running, especially the Godfather II. But Goodfellas was all in. It really was made with the intention of 'telling it like it is'! This is what gave it such class. Goodfellas didn't hold back or romanticize the mob. It is always going to be an absolute classic!

Godfather is about a bosses son taking over his business and showing the power a boss can have, Goodfellas is about a mixed kid who wants to be a gangster. Some of the best scenes in Godfather involve dealing with death. I recommend you rewatch the two films and see how they and goodfellas are essentially the same overall.

@@MostHighEmperorPalpatine Nah, Godfather heavily romanticizes the Mafia. Makes them look like their crime "family" is like an actual large family with them all sticking together no matter what, and that they only do what they have to. Goodfellas pulls off that veneer of class, and shows that in reality the Mafia was full of complete psychopaths that would murder each other and everyone around them just for looking at them wrong.

5:05 "and he loved, above all, feeling valued". And that right there is the cornerstone, the main structural element, of how gangs, mobs, cults, and even many of our institutions work and attract and keep members. It's extremely powerful and coercive to give someone who has been convinced for whatever reason that they're worthless a worth through purpose, even if that purpose is an ulterior motive to serve some self-serving goal of your own. Quite often in such situations what's not seen is that valuation comes at a price, that in most cases what you get out of the situation that makes you feel great is being paid to the 'leader' many times over. Especially in the mob. The more you make, the better you do, the more you kick upstairs to the Boss.
