    8.4 The camera is fast and the story is broken, dull and lengthy, but the rhythm is under control. Zhang Yang is restrained in total, and there is a hidden black humor in the life documentary. De Niro is calm, Joe Pessi outside, and Lyotta nervously interweave a dangerous and ruthless gangster world full of smiles. Two and a half hours passed, and an era was ups and downs. In fact, nothing has changed, but it feels like something has fallen. I have always liked the famous long shots of...

    "What do you mean, I'm funny?"... This classic segment is based on Joe Pessi's personal experience. When working in a restaurant, the young Pessi once praised that a gangster was funny, and the praise was cold. Face. After hearing this gossip, Scorsese decided to join the play, but it was not in the script, so the interaction between Percy and Lyotard made the other actors on the scene really...

    Unveil the so-called ethical tenderness of the world. At the end of the film, Jimmy and Henry’s restaurant meet with strong tension. They have been entangled for many years, but they do not trust each other at all. In the end, whoever can live depends entirely on who first betrays their feelings and hearts, or the so-called brotherhood between them. It is nothingness based on interests. Biopic style, eye-catching with long shots, cruel and...

    The film narratively wrote a gangster Henry's experience from joining the party to becoming a protected witness. This is a completely different life, the life of Gangster who adheres to the philosophy of violence. There are a lot of freeze-frame pictures in the movie, showing the nodes of Henry's...

    Very flat and academic

    Real plot, plain expression, complicated details. Don't talk about suspense and burden, this is not Director Ma's style. The reason why this film can be called a classic is all due to the director's lens language and the delicate performances of the veteran actors.
      As always, the film is more...

Goodfellas quotes

  • Henry Hill: [narrating] It was revenge for Billy Batts, and a lot of other things. And there was nothing that we could do about it. Batts was a made man, and Tommy wasn't. And we had to sit still and take it. It was among the Italians. It was real greaseball shit. They even shot Tommy in the face so his mother couldn't give him an open coffin at the funeral.

  • Billy Batts: Hey Jimmy! What's right is right. You understand what I'm talking about?

    Jimmy Conway: It's all right. It's all right.

    Billy Batts: No. The kid's over here. We're hugging and kissing over here. And two minutes later, he's acting like a fucking jerk.

    Jimmy Conway: No, no, no, no, no. You insulted him a little bit. You got a little bit out of order yourself.

    Billy Batts: No I didn't insult him. I didn't insult him.

    Jimmy Conway: I'm sorry. You insulted him a little bit.

    Billy Batts: No, I didn't insult nobody. Give us a drink. Give us a drink.
