imagine sitting down to watch a movie and randomly seeing yourself portrayed

@saviorself1164 3 жыл бұрын

Especially a movie that ends up being a classic. Most movies are forgettable. You would have to show people the movie if you were depicted in that movie, in most cases. If I was depicted in The Room or Gigli, I would be pissed. In his case, Goodfellas is an incredible and I would be proud to have my name mentioned in it, even though he isn't proud of his former life. It really depends on the movie

Who looked after you in prison Jimmy or Henry something you said in your review of GoodFellas I think you ment Jimmy looked after you not Henry. Yea went back Henry name pops into the story of Jimmy looking after you when you bumped into him in jail. Like to think it was Jimmy the real Irishman Burke. Who looked after you.

Pretty accurate, actually. The only things they took creative liberties with were my hair, accent, physique, car, age, and skin color. Other than that, pretty much a straight-up biography.

Stage Worker, "Bob Dylan. He wants to talk to you." Dave, "W-What. Did I do something wrong?" State Worker, "No no. He just wants to talk to you. Go down that hallway and around the corner." Dave, "Down there?" Stage worker, "Yeah, right around the corner." Dave said that the hallway was dark and he thought it resembled too much like that scene in Goodfellas and he was going to be whacked around the corner. Then he saw Bob Dylan and he was wearing a hoodie.

Same and so many other mob interviews are so much bullshit and when I first discovered MIchael months ago you can instantly tell the difference. So much sincerity and more realistic, believable descriptions of events. Every mob interveiw is I killed 60 people I killed 100 people, i was best friends with Capone whatever. Michael said " I dont think there was even 40 guys to kill in the entire family" . Richard kuklinski has confirmed to of killed 13 people but also showed great exaggerations and changed details. Even in his interveiw theres a part that says " do you think it was 100?" " yeah, atleast, I think"" "Over 100?" "Yeah maybe 200" Then we have litteraly 40 different versions of the jimmy Hoffa story.meanwhile when it comes to murders or crimes michael wasnt caught for he is extremely vague or completley dodged the question.

11:22 When watching the scene leading up to that, you'll see them talking and in the background you see others talking away, enjoying themselves etc. When this scene starts, everyone in the background slowly begins to freeze in place and has little to no movement, not even looking back at the table, except for one guy with his girl behind Tommy. Then when the joke is sprung, everything in the background picks back up. That whole scene and the long, continuous shot of Henry going through the kitchen/night club are amazing.

This is my fav Mob movie. The Godfather is great but I find I can watch Goodfellas dropping in on it at any point and be entertained. I have to be in a certain mood to watch Godfather. Also I'm not surprised that Henry's story would be changed to make him look better than he was in real life. Both he and the movie makers would want to show a slick gangster pick not a documentary.
