This is a very old movie. Turn it over and take a look at it. Based on real events, it tells the legendary experience of the American gangster Henry Hill in the rivers and lakes for more than 30 years. The film meticulously shows the life of a New York Italian gangster from childhood to adulthood, vividly showing the unique life style and distinctive values ​​of the underworld figure. This film is Martin Scorsese's proud work in 1991. It includes the collaboration of actors and actresses such as Robert De Niro, Joe Paisi, and Leliotta. Although not as extensive as "The Godfather", it has a more in-depth characterization and is a masterpiece.

    Look at the Chinese dubbed version. . . The noisy sound made me watch it all at once, but it was Martin's gangster feeling, and I liked it.

Goodfellas quotes

  • Henry Hill: [With the suitcase open on the desk, Henry counts out stacks of cash] Thirty-five, forty, forty-five, fifty, sixty thousand.

    Jimmy Conway: It's gonna be a good summer.

  • [last lines]

    Henry Hill: [narrating] Anything I wanted was a phone call away. Free cars. The keys to a dozen hideout flats all over the city. I bet twenty, thirty grand over a weekend and then I'd either blow the winnings in a week or go to the sharks to pay back the bookies.

    [Henry leaves the witness stand and speaks directly to the camera]

    Henry Hill: Didn't matter. It didn't mean anything. When I was broke, I'd go out and rob some more. We ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's all over.

    [narrating]

    Henry Hill: And that's the hardest part. Today everything is different; there's no action... have to wait around like everyone else. Can't even get decent food - right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce, and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody... get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.
