If you look up and see how the real Hendry Hill ended up you'd think very differently. Besides, in today's modern society you can afford to take your girl out to a nice club and get VIP service. Unless you're a dirt cheap Broke-Ass chump, but then you would be below a regular guy.

The power of this scene lies in the steady camera, and the dialogue. By giving us one long shot of Henry and Karen simply walking through this place while Henry talks to the people he's passing by with utmost friendliness and familiarity, it shows us how seamlessly Hill has integrated himself into the mob life. Simply brilliant.

He went through the back door because it was the shortcut - not because the Copa was embarrassed to have him enter through the front. The Copa, along with El Morocco, was the place to be if you had money - movie star, mobster, Duke, businessman, show girl - it catered to anyone with money.
@valis146 жыл бұрын
Yes, but also, this shot is from not really from Henry's POV -- it's reallyKaren's. To Henry this whole experience is as regular as that Bouncer-type eating a sandwich in the hallway they pass; for Karen, it's her first taste of an exotic, almost celebrity lifestyle where everything is on a first-name basis, and big tips flow casually from one palm to the other as freely as greetings.

This iconic shot was done on the 8th take and the steadicam operator directed Ray Liotta (Henry Hill) to pause every so often to let the camera catch up to him at the bottom of the stairs. This is why Henry stops every so often to tip doormen or to comment to the couple in the corner.

god this such an effective scene. and such a pain in the ASS as a cameraman. dodging all those people while still trying to make it realistic? yikes. but this is easily one of my favorite continuous shots ever. the only rivals in my opinion are the tricycle scene from the shining for its use of sound or the hijacking scene from true detective b/c it is just badass and super professional. but this is probably the best. understated, you get a real sense of the main character. following them down to the basement of the building, you get a feeling that this guy is in 'below the ground level' and part of something the general public just isn't. its not just the framing, but the physical location of the characters that makes this scene effective. very cool.

@tenactitans , That's true. However, in the case of Ray Liotta, it was a shock for a few reasons. For one thing, he was not that old. He was only 67. Also, he seemed to be as active as ever when it came to making movies. At the time of his death, Ray Liotta was in the Dominican Republic and was in the process of shooting a movie when he died unexpectedly. In addition, no cause of death was ever revealed. It is possible that Ray Liotta had some health issues but didn't go public about it.

As an editor myself I absolutely LOVE extended one-shot takes like this (and can appreciate being handed an entire scene that I can just drop into a cut of a movie and not have to make any edits). The kitchen walk-through is especially impressive with all of the coordination going on, and you even see Ray Liotta (RIP) apparently accidently bump into a counter and just keep on going. I wonder how many takes it took to get this right?
