Scorsese is a master of transition in all of his movies especially this one

[@abick8725]

Martin Scorsese is simply brilliant when it comes to that sort of thing, and the feeling or emotion that certain scenes evokes in the viewer. The scene in Goodfellas that follows Liotta/Henry Hill into the restaurant…I love that scene bc it not only made me feel like I was there following the character into the restaurant, but it gave me a feeling of the excitement, joy, whatever you want to call it that perhaps the character would have been feeling at that time…being a young, successful, albeit somewhat naive (to what would happen later) criminal that feels literally like his world is his own. I believe anyone that has ever felt on top of the world could really identify with that scene. It was also great for giving the viewer an emotional perspective of the roller coaster that would become Mr. Hill’s life. Just my opinion.

[@giordan131]

That was too gruesome and not the eyeball??

[@phj223]

@@giordan131 It's different, visually it was horrible of course, and also to hear about the icepicks in the testicles, but Mad Dog Tony (or whatever his name was) wasn't a point of view character in the movie, and the people who tortured him were his enemies. The baseball bat scene was so much rougher cause we had followed Joe Pesci's character for the entire movie, and while he wasn't a nice guy at least you had time to see some of his human sides, and of course he had to watch his brother get beaten to a bloody pulp before they started working on him, and the guys doing it were his former friends and colleagues.. So yeah, overall I think the baseball bat scene was harder to watch. Now, would I rather have icepicks in my testicles and have my skull crushed in a vice (with eyepopping), or get beaten to death with a bat...? I'd have to get back to you on that one, but I'm leaning towards the bat to be honest. :)

Love how Michael actually knew or knew these guys through other people and can call out the bullshit….what a legend

[@StuUngar]

Yeah, and the movies leave out a lot of characters out of necessity. Like in Donnie Brasco, before Massino and Sonny Black hit the Sonny Red Indelicato faction, they consulted with Colombo boss Persico and Genovese boss Chin Gigante. Also believe Gotti helped dispose of the bodies. In reading Colombo associate Sal Polisi’s autobiography, he was close with Jimmy Burke and Tommy DiSimone and they had a ton of dealings with Gotti. And with casino, all of the NY and Philly guys were often in Vegas. So they had their run ins with Spilotro. A bit of a silly comparison. But it reminds me of Marvel movies how an X-Men movie is just X-Men. But there’s comics where the X-Men are interacting with the Avengers, Fantastic 4, Spiderman, etc.

[@citypopradioFM]

Michael didn't really know the guys depicted in the Casino film as they were Outfit men from Chicago. He knew of them during his visits to Vegas, like anyone connected during that era, because any made guy would be made well-aware of the established players in that city and usually shake hands per the whole "friends of ours" code. Usually made guys visiting Vegas would show respect to established guys like Spilotro to get comped, taken care of, and have no issues should any arise during their visits so trouble could be quashed.

I've had the displeasure of dealing with such trash as this on many occasions as in "in house" legal advisor of the sort most of you will never know exists, and I can attest first hand that the reason these thugs do this sort of work is because they are out to screws anyone over by any means as opposed to earning a honorable living. All their talk of "family" and "code" and "loyalty" is just another scam the leaders use to con all the "soldiers" who do their dirty work for scraps jost to feel as if they are a part of something bigger than themselves. ALL of these creeps - and I do mean ALL of them if presented an opportunity to secretly slay one of their own (and on occasion sometimes that person's family) to beat them out of as little as $20K , they will do so without hesitation, and there is typically little to no blow back from the top, despite all the BS about unauthorized hits. You'll hear them discussing it on occasion and It may go something like this" "Hey, did you hear Tommy and Bob got ambushed coming out of the (insert random stripper cl;ub name here) withe the Saturday night draw from the club..." Don't buy into this scumbag's money flash distraction game. He is a ruthless killer who would murder your entire family if needed to keep the cash flow streaming in.

It was much better then, than today for an actual, “adults only”, Playground. He said a mouthful there. It was. I vividly remember Vegas back in the day versus today. I’ll take Vegas back then versus today. Plus it was a-lot smaller. =easier to get around inside of. Easier to drive around inside it.

When the mob ran vegas....the Buffett s , hotel rooms , top celebrity entertainment all costs the public way less than those things do in today's world, ...and top legit , corporate tax shelters take a much bigger percentage of the gross revenue from many American companies than the percentage of the gross The mafia took from skimming hotels...plus.. ..their loan shark rates ....were lower than the car title and pay day loan store s of today 2. The home invasions ...the mafia committed were usually inside tips from insurance agents on victims who were insured ...versus home invasions of today by inner city vegas gangs that hurt and target random civilians 3. Card players in casino could count cards in the mafia era versus the casino s of today with 6 deck shoes plus super computers control the poker and slot machine in todays casino s which i would imagine are not good for odds compared to the old fashion machines in the 70 s and 80s ...

I agree with you about Joe Pesci about playing a good mob guy as well,good review👍👍

[@joonaslehtonen7965]

And then he also said once that he was made in his podcast. When he gained little following in yt he strecthed things a bit, he said he became made when Tony put him in charge of his crew, the soon to be "Hole in the wall gang", not by any ceremony but because Tony put him in charge he had to be made, so he became made without taking the oath and without ceremony or any induction. Just cause Tony said: i want you to put a crew of guys together. Boom! Now hes made. I think he was preparing a groundwork for claim that Tony basicly broke away from Chicago and formed his own mini-family in Vegas. And he was a soldier in it. Pretty soon he would have claimed to taken a ceremony, getting pumped up to underboss or street boss eventually... When he gained new fans and little following he started to present himself as this guy who knew everyone, who humiliated guys like Frank the German etc. Alot more homicidal guys than himself. It was fantasy. He was gettin old, got people following him who didnt know his criminal career exactly and would believe what he told them. Too good of an opportunity to tell it honestly and stay humble, he started to build his legend by lies. Maybe he smelled that with his channel growing to 100-200k subscribers, he could maybe squeeze a film or mini series out of it... inside of few years. But he died.

[@joonaslehtonen7965]

@BrewCity If he was made in Vegas, then it was fantasy role playing kinda shit... I doubt that Tony Spilotro, a guy who walked into certain death with his brother (both HEAVILY suspected they would be killed but still went) because when you get called by your capo or higher up, you go, would have taken part of such a mockery of rules of lcn that he would be sitting behind table, Fat Herbie Blitzstein and Joey Schiro next to him, playing a Don and making Frank and who knows who else... I dont believe it. And if he would have done that, which i highly doubt, it wouldnt carry any meaning except that his reputation as wiseguy and King mobster of Vegas would have taken a serious hit. Other mobsters looked him as guy who had most pull in Vegas. Had he played Godfather with jews and Irish present at the ceremony in which he inducted people to his family, he would have become a laughing stock of mafia. And then he would be killed by Outfit by most visible way possible, blown on his porch, shot 129 times while leaving Gold Rush or sumthin like that. They would have severed all ties immeadetely and sent couple of killers to Vegas. Frank was bullshitting. He numerous times said he didnt want to be made, and i believe he didnt want that at that time. I also believe that if he had wanted he could have gotten made but not in Vegas, or by Tony and definetely not instantly, whenever he wanted. No. He didnt want that at the time. Decades later, when it got him more views to claim he was made, he definetely wanted it to be true. So much that he lied on it and did a poor job at that.

[@joonaslehtonen7965]

@BrewCity And those mid western mob bosses might have been less hierarchial than five families but they too passed around names of membership canditates to each other. Chicago would never allow Ballistrieri or Civella or anybody to hold inductions and not checking or telling who they made. Any and every guy, including undercover cops, could claim: Yeah, im part of KC family. Capo actually, just got straightened out by Joey Steinberg last week and immeadetely bumped to a capo. Who... ya dont know Joey? His the guy who knows the guy whos cousin is that union leader, Joey used to drive Civella for a while too... Yeah, Nick didnt feel like coming cause it rained so he send his driver Joey to straighten me out on a ceremony held in McDonalds wc. All those little midwest families KC etc. they all were as much or little on Chicagos leash than DeCavalcantes or Bruno mob were on NY familes or in commissions leash. They were independent families and Chicago respected them and let them do business how ever they chose. But they better choose wisely on affairs that had even satellite effect on Chicago because Outfit was larger than all those families together, it had judges and police stations in its pocket (it actually had few made guys who were police officers, believe it or not), it had good relations to east coast families etc. Whatever Ballistrieri had, Outfit had it 100x over. So those smaller families had to show some respect to Chicago and they did. They also werent too afraid of them, they were tough guys themselves but much fewer in numbers and weaker in power and influence and they knew it.

The movie "Casino" really took me back. Yes, it was pretty accurate. Leaning Tower owned by Jasper, yep, my then Italian boyfriend used to frequent that place. I worked at the Stardust Casino (Tangiers) in the 1980's as a Baccarat Dealer on the big game. I was hired not long after the incident with Frank Rosenthal and his car. Frank came into the casino periodically. During my employment there, they were busted for skimming and the FBI came in and took over the casino. Back around 1974, Spilotro threatened my boyfriend at the Chateau Vegas, but my boyfriend didn't tell me about it until 10 years later when Spilotro was making Headlines in the news. I lived in Vegas from 1974-1986 and moved away when I had kids. I didn't want to raise them in Sin City. I have a very strong distaste for the Mafia. So glad you accepted Christ and are doing His work. God bless.

From that point on, he started coming over in the middle of the night and we never dated or were seen in public again. Then 10 years later, when Spilotro started making the news, my BF told me about Spilotro threatening him, and that one day he wanted to marry me, but he was waiting for something. He wouldn't say what. When Spilotro was found in the cornfield, that's what my BF was waiting for, but I didn't marry him, because he waited too long. (Some years later, the Mafia figure who gave Spilotro the order to threaten my BF actually confessed it to me! But that's another story not for here.)

Casino has been one of my favorite films since I first saw it. I think it's Scorcese's best movie. I also put Casino above Goodfellas too.

The direction and style blend together to make this in my opinion his best film. Outstanding screenplay, story writing, acting, and cinematography.
