This is basically 90% true story and the real Henry Hill died in 2012. The creator the Sopranos called this movie his handbook for creating the perfect Mafia story. It’s not coincidence that so many actors from Goodfellas appeared in the Sopranos

[@LoneWolf_Cub_Ogami_Itto]

Well that depends on who you believe. Many say Henry wasn't this respected especially when word got around he was speedballing coke & heroin.

[@nightking0130]

It all depends. I tend to believe Michael franzese when he says that Henry was a lost soul. Even the movie kind of shows this. Also him being way more involved than he actually was. And also the movie doesn’t show how multiple times Henry tried to get out of the life as he realizes where it would eventually lead. I don’t think that prison scene is accurate though.

Godfather 1 and 2 are both way better than this movie, but this is still quite good.

[@charlesbunch8383]

There was more to the killing of Billy Batts than just his insult to Tommy about shining shoes. While Billy was in prison, Jimmy (De Niro) had taken over Billy's lucrative bookmaking business. Now that Billy was out of prison, he wanted that business back. DeNiro's character didn't want to give it up, so he wanted Batts dead as much as Tommy. He had his own reasons.

[@voodoosman4ever]

At this time of his career Samuel L Jackson's roles were cameos mostly. He usually played a scumbag,a sleaze, or a junkie. His career didn't take off until Pulp Fiction. On another note I loved all the characters in this movie. Most of all Paul Sorvino. He reminded me so much of my late Grandfather.

[@mblazin1532]

It's said that he played the role in an understated way. The real Tommy DiSimone was an extremely vicious serial killer and psychopath.

[@justjack0715]

Great reaction! WOP is a denigrating term for immigrant Italians back in the day. I believe it was to mean "Without papers."

[@donaldb1]

Probably a false etymology. The term was current before there was any such thing as immigration papers. Wikipedia quotes Merriam-Webster dictionary to say it derives ultimately from "the Southern Italian dialectal term 'guappo', roughly meaning 'dandy', or 'swaggerer'".

Now you should see My Blue Heaven, starring Steve Martin as a mobster in the witness protection program being guarded by Rick Moranis as an FBI agent. It is hysterical. But it also was based on the story of Henry Hill. It was written by Nora Ephron (she wrote When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle), who was married to Nicolas Pileggi, who wrote Goodfellas. The two movies came out in the same month based on the same story but are lightyears apart in tone.

[@Whitebrowpriest]

12:10 - This famous "long shot" was in the first time a director used a "steadicam" in films in this way. They were around since 1976, but no one ever thought to use one for one continuous long shot like this until this movie. I remember it was talked about a lot back then. I was in film school at that time, and the instructors kept talking about it too, lol. The shot was just under 3 minutes long. Of course other directors followed suit after this and did similar long, uninterrupted steadicam shots, but this was the granddaddy of them all. lol

[@ShawNshawN]

I think Hitchcock used the long shot as well back in the 1950s occasionally.

[@Whitebrowpriest]

@@ShawNshawN - He likely did have 'long shots' in his film, but they were either traditional handheld camera shots, or dolly shots, and nowhere near as long as this famous shot in Goodfellas. I was specifically referring to the "Steadicam" (a very particular invention) that didn't come onto the scene until after Hitchcock's last known directorial work which was "Family Plot" in 1976. I'm sure had Hitchcock had an opportunity, he would have used it, but it wasn't around for him to use it during his active years in the business. The Steadicam wasn't introduced to the public, nor put into full commercial use until about '75. And the technology wasn't as perfected as it was until it was used around the time of the making of Goodfellas. Hence, why Martin Scorsese had his D.P. use it to make this now famous cinematic shot, which was consequently called "The Copa Shot". It was a one-take shot that was at least three minutes long. I was in film school around the time Goodfellas was released, and I remember my professors talking a great deal about that shot, and of course the technology involved. From what I remember, the same person (Garrett Brown) who invented the Steadicam is also the one who would later invent the "Skycam" during the 80s, which is often used at arena, and sporting events such as the NFL. 🙂

[@geody3001]

"She's the one apologizing?" Well, yes. He did just wake up to assault with a deadly weapon. He is abusive. Good point. But instead of getting out of there while he was sleeping she put a gun in his face. You may sympathize with her, as you should, but they were mutually abusive.

[@cjmacq-vg8um]

you might want to consider going back even further to watch older gangster flicks. 1967's "bonnie and clyde" is the film that brought the gangster genre into the modern age. in the late 40s cagney starred in "white heat" and bogart starred in "key largo" which co-starred edward g. robinson as the gangster. in 1939 bogart and cagney starred together in the classic "the roaring twenties." in the early 30s the film "public enemy" made cagney a star. and paul muni was excellent playing an "al capone" type character in "scarface." all these films are really, really good and come higly recommended. give them a try. i think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The fact that Joe Pesci did GOODFELLAS and HOME ALONE 1 in the same year is astounding (he won Best Supporting Actor for GOODFELLAS too)! Side Note: After LETHAL WEAPON 4, Joe Pesci went into semi-retirement. Since then, he has only done 5 movies and 1 TV show. One such film is the Netflix film THE IRISHMAN, also directed by Martin Scorsese and co-starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino (I really liked it personally).

Robert DeNiro insisted on using real money when he was tipping in order to make his Gangster persona seem more authentic. At the end of the day, Scorsese would triple count the set amount of money used in those scenes and wouldn't let anyone, cast or crew, leave until it was all accounted for. Just like a real Gangster. 😂

Check out Scorsese's "Casino" (another true story) which came out in 1995 and is sort of a companion piece to this. The cinematic style is similar. De Niro and Pesci also star.

[@walterpanovs]

Check out Scorsese's "Casino" (1995) which also stars De Niro (and his colorful wardrobe) along with Pesci and a sensational Sharon Stone. Most consider it "Goodfellas"-lite. It's very similar in style to the earlier film, with the editing, narration, and music. I think you'd like it al lot because of the interesting dynamic of the De Niro - Stone relationship. Also based on a true story. For a very different style of a De Niro film check out the terrific "The King of Comedy" (1982). You'll get a big kick out of De Niro in this and the story was way ahead of its time.

The book that this film was based on was called Wiseguy. That originally was going to be the name of the movie, however, at the time there was a TV show on the air called Wiseguy and to make sure there was not any confusion, they decided to make the name change to Goodfellas

[@scottavery1751]

If you liked this one. I would recommend Casino with Deniro and Pesci or The Departed with Leo Dicaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson. Both movies were directed by Martin Scorsese

[@TechnicallyTexan]

Yes!!! The Departed is even better than Goodfellas in my opinion.

[@maxducoudray]

Casino not nearly this good, but still enjoyable.

[@fuzzy__dunlop]

Mary watching Goodfellas?? I'm in!!

[@sspdirect02]

GoodFellas is the second in a trilogy of films Martin Scorsese made about the Mafia. The other two being Mean Streets and Casino. There is an epilogue in the form of The Irishman aka I Heard You Paint Houses.

[@TTM9691]

Raging Bull has some mafia element in it as well as being the first one with Joe Pesci and Frank Vincent.

Henry outlived everyone he knew in that group. To the point that the ones who took over rescinded the bounty on Henry’s head allowing him to be out in public without looking over his shoulder and being able to do many interviews for many documentaries about what happened or on other gangs

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Joe Pesci won Best supporting actor in this film.

😭😭😭 Italians have the weirdest nicknames , my uncle had a friend that he called "one pocket " 😂 it was always insane and funny to me

[@matthewdunham1689]

It wasn't really a shoe shine thing. In real life, it was about Bats getting out of jail and wanting his territories that Tommy and Jimmy had taken over. Gambling, loansharking, etc. Goodfellars was a true story, but the movie characters were not as bad as the real-life people. Especially Tommy believe it or not. It's my favorite movie.

From Wikipedia; Following the testimony of Henry Hill, Burke was convicted in 1982, of conspiracy charges related to his involvement in the 1978-79 Boston College basketball point-shaving scandal, and sentenced to 12 years in prison. While in prison, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to another 20 years. He died of cancer at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, New York, eight years before he would have been eligible for parole. Burke inspired the character Jimmy "The Gent" Conway, one of the main characters of the 1990 film Goodfellas, played by Robert De Niro.

This stuff is so far from Mary's world I knew it would be classic to watch. Lol. Great reaction. With Mafia movies they're ALL toxic, cheating on their wives and on drugs. That's the trope. Ironic thing is Billy Blats and the kid both killed by Tommy were pretty brutal themselves in The Sopranos series. Karen was the therapist and played so wholesome. Lmao

[@anironiccoolness]

Yea and speaking of cheating, let's not even get started on Tony Soprano.

[@MorrisB3]

I was just watching the Tony V Carmela fight over that. Ha@@anironiccoolness

[@GrimScarlett]

Dude, you are the first reactor I've seen make the connection of Henry saying they only go to jail if they want to with him being sent to prison later. Gold star for you ☆

[@cheekywolf7675]

Never get tired of watching this film masterpiece.

[@lewisrovak7696]

Casino 🎰 ranks up there too. Based on a true story, you will like just as much...

[@19nzinga]

Joe Pesci’s performance was brilliant! He was so good as a neurotic, crazy, killer.

[@osmanyousif7849]

Jimmy: You learned the two most important things in life. Never rat on your friends, and ALWAYS keep your mouth shut. The irony of that line feels feels quite sad but true, due to the status of our business and social world today.

[@jakeryan365]

One of the greatest movies of all time!

[@Mr.VonStoogle]

The Henry Hill commentary track with the agent who caught him who also plays himself when they go to witness protection in the movie is fantastic. Definitely worth watching it again for that.

[@jrobwoo688]

Scorsese is a masterful filmmaker. I would suggest Taxi Driver and Bringing Out the Dead.

[@doctorteethomega]

21:09 Nonna here reminds me of me when my daughters visit. Lots of hugs, then I immediately cook something for them. 😄

[@0okamino]

When a little visit turns into a whole meal, that’s family.

[@noiisserpmii]

One of the all time great movies. Bronx Tale is prob my all time gangster movie along with the Godfather 1 & 2. I grew up in Howard Beach so it was “mob” influenced but it was far from this era. Now its all but barely there. This was my dads era.
