This is not a gangster movie, it’s everyone’s real life

"The Good Guy" is my favorite movie, not one of them.

When I was young, I watched this movie as a gangster movie. In middle age, watching this film is a lifestyle film. I don't know what it's like to watch this film when I get old. Every time I come to this film, I always want to write, but I still want to talk.

Just talk about one scene that I am most impressed with. Henry cared about meat sauce, while selling drugs, while hiding from helicopters. If you have ever reported to your boss about the progress of the project, while thinking about helping your wife pick up 5 couriers before going home, and looking forward to the weekend having fun with friends, you will understand how real the show is.

We have all tried to cross classes, but we were defeated by blood and rules in the end

We have all worked in the same direction, but in the end we found that it was nothing more than a common interest

We have all vowed to each other, but in the end we find that no one is irreplaceable

We have all broken the rules, but in the end we found that there are rules besides the rules

We were all angry horses in fresh clothes, but in the end we are all in the fly camp.

We are all alone, either pretending to be market servants, or pretending to be cold-blooded, or pretending to be stately.

We are all idealists, but we are all alive in reality.

The most frightening thing is that if we were to choose again, it would still be the same.

    The four stars are just a recognition of the quality of the film: the script is wonderful, the details are brilliant; the shooting is also quite complete, the story is told so smoothly and in one go; ...but it’s not that I don’t like it personally emotionally, even at the beginning of the movie. I'm so disgusted that I want to give 2 stars... Americans really love "crime" movies, and IMDb Top250 has been shortlisted for a lot... Two days ago [IMDb Review 1990-2014 Best Movies] The only "Good Guy" movie that I haven't seen before was completed. .

    The meticulous and charming gangster inspirational film De Niro is always so handsome in the film of the old horse. The song of the last sex pistol suddenly comes out as a rock movie.

Goodfellas quotes

  • Paul Cicero: I don't want any more of that shit.

    Henry Hill: What shit? What are you talking about?

    Paul Cicero: Just stay away from the garbage, you know what I mean.

    Henry Hill: Look, Paulie...

    Paul Cicero: I'm not talking about what you did inside, you did what you had to do, I'm talking about now, from now, here and now.

    Henry Hill: Paulie, why would I want to get into that...

    Paul Cicero: Don't make a jerk out of me, just don't do it... just don't do it. Now I want to talk to you about Jimmy, you have to watch out for him. He's a good earner but he's wild, takes too many chances.

    Henry Hill: Yeah, I know that, I know Jimmy, you think I would take chances like Jimmy?

    Paul Cicero: And Tommy, he's a good kid too. But he's crazy, he's a cowboy, he's got too much to prove. You gotta watch out for kids like this.

    Henry Hill: Yeah, I know what they are, I only use them for certain things, believe me, you don't have to worry.

    Paul Cicero: Listen, I ain't gonna get fucked like Gribbs, understand? Gribbs is 70 years old, and the fuckin' guy's gonna die in prison. I don't need that. So I'm warning everybody, EVERYBODY. It could be my son, it could be anybody. Gribbs got 20 years just for saying "hello" to some fuck who was sneaking behind his back selling junk. I don't need that. Ain't gonna happen to me, you understand?

    Henry Hill: Uh huh.

    Paul Cicero: You know that you're only out early because I got you a job. I don't need this heat, understand that.

    Henry Hill: Uh huh.

    Paul Cicero: And you see anybody fucking around with this shit, you're going to tell me, right?

    Henry Hill: Yeah.

    Paul Cicero: [slaps him] That means anybody!

    Henry Hill: All right.

    Paul Cicero: Yeah?

    Henry Hill: Yeah, of course.

  • Jimmy Conway: I'm not mad, I'm proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man and you learn two great things in your life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.
