​@@ariachanson01..Carlitos Way. Is AL Pacino

[@issi529]

​@@ariachanson01I hope you liked the movie. Its a different kind of movie. Crime movies are not for everyone. I loved this film. One of my all time favourites.

[@BigGator5]

"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster." Fun Fact: After Joe Pesci's mother saw the film, she told him the movie was good, then asked him if he had to curse so much. Funny How Fact: According to the real Henry Hill, whose life was the basis for the book and film, Joe Pesci's portrayal of Tommy DeSimone was 90-99% accurate, with one notable exception; the real Tommy DeSimone was massively built. Method Acting Fact: Henry's last day as a wiseguy was the hardest part of the film for Martin Scorsese to shoot. He wanted to properly show Henry's anxiety, paranoia, and racing thoughts caused by cocaine and amphetamine intoxication. Ray Liotta had never been under the influence of those drugs, and found it difficult to accurately portray. Mirror On The Wall Fact: Paul Sorvino wanted to drop out of the role of Paul "Paulie" Cicero three days before filming began, because he felt that he lacked the cold personality to play the character. He called his agent and asked to be released from the film. Sorvino's agent told him to think about it for one day before making a final decision. That night, Sorvino looked in the mirror and was frightened by the look on his face. He realized that that look was the look he needed to play Paulie.

[@nataliestclair6176]

Also except for the fact that the real Tommy Desimone was much more of a psychopath than the movie portrayed. He was much more brutal and violent than Pesci's character of Tommy Devito. Also while based on the book by Henry Hill, Hill was a notorious liar and embellished a lot in his book.

[@kylewestlake982]

The real Tommy was even more fucked up as his movie counterpart. He once shot a man, a total stranger, in the middle of the street late one night when he was in his late teen. He once tried to rape the real Karen Hill, too. Everything about the murder of Batts was true, apart from the welcome home party and the shine box remark happen a few weeks prior to the actual murder. They really did wake up his mother (played by Scorsese's actual mother here) and she made them a meal all the while Batts was still alive in the trunk. They had to go back and dig the body back up, too. Everything about Spider is 100% true, too. Some theorize John Gotti, the last great Italian American mobster and who was close friends with Billy Batts, either presided over Tommy's death, or killed him himself. The meat truck thing was true, too.

[@rezalustig6773]

Check out Tommy DeSimone’s mugshots; he had Ted Bundy eyes.

[@michaelmiller44820]

FUN FACT #1: The cop who puts Henry in the Witness Relocation Program in the movie is the actual cop who put the real Henry Hill in WRP... FUN FACT #2: The is a DVD release of "Goodfellas" that includes an audio commentary track with the real cop and the real Henry Hill...

[@dudermcdudeface3674]

The kind of idiot that Henry Hill was in real life is actually hilarious. Highly recommend reading about it. Cartoon character stuff.

[@ErickIsaac-qo6ym]

This woman has the a beautiful voice, very calming.

[@nielgregory108]

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to see this channel get to 16k subs and do a celebration cover of 16 candles by Sponge." 😺🤠

[@waynet1022]

I once got a free dinner from the real Henry Hill when he opened up a restaurant later in life. Not long after that it closed down when there was a fire there. Hmm.

[@anthonyvasquezactor]

Hey Aria! Welcome back! Looking gorgeous, as always. ❤ Wait till you hear the real story behind these "good" fellas.

[@thepodbaydoorshal]

The entire case for Scorsese being one of the greatest directors of all time can be made with just this one film. Thankfully there are many more but this is a peak most artists only dream of reaching. It’s perfection.

[@BogeyDopeYT]

In the gangster world, snitches would be grateful to get stitches. Snitches just disappear forever.

[@seanyoung9014]

Nowadays they get a podcast. Unlike most people though, I understand why Sammy snitched on Gotti. John was an absolutely terrible boss who was throwing him under the bus for murders he didn't even do.

[@davidmeir9348]

Henry Hill said of Tommy (Pesci) that the guy was a pure psychopath. The story with Billy Batts happened exactly in the movie except the fact that Tommy killed him two weeks later and not on the same night. The story with the waiter who told Tommy to go fuck himself was also true. Tommy DeSimone (his real name) once in front of Henry shot a guy in the street at random just to try a new gun he bought. Henry shocked asked him why he did that, Tommy said: "Well, I'm a mean cat." Tommy DeSimone disapeared without a trace in 1979, the likely event was that he was killed on the orders of future crime Boss of the Gambino familly John Gotti who had been a close friend of Billy Batts. Henry and Jimmy were associated with the Lucchese familly and when a familly wants to sanction a murder of the member or associate of another familly they usually ask for permission (unless they're at war) meaning that most probably Gotti asked the permission to Paulie to have Tommy whacked and Paulie was probably fed up of Tommy violent unpredictability.

[@SuprousOxide]

Before I ever saw this movie, I watched a regular segment on the 90s cartoon, Animaniacs. It was called Goodfeathers, about a trio of pigeons modeled after these three. Every episcode, the one based on Joe Pesci would get, offended, do the "am I a clown?" Routine and get into a brawl with the Ray Liotta pigeon. Was funny, but i didn't have the full context of the jokes until I watched this a decade later.

[@JW666]

Seeing the quote of the video made me think of the line said by Jerry Seinfeld in the animated movie Bee Movie; "This isn't a Goodfella, this is a Badfella!" Which actually has Ray Liotta in that movie voicing himself. RIP Btw, here's a suggestion for a follow up to this movie and they both fit very well as a double feature; Casino. It's also directed by Martin Scorsese, also has Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci in it and it's also based on a true story (except that one wasn't 90% accurate like this movie is) =) And also, you're a funny lady, Aria ;P XD ;)

[@BigDave423]

I was going to make the same suggestion, but figured I would check to see if anyone else already has. I definitely second the vote for Casino as a partner movie to Goodfellas.

[@seanstinchfield-mp2xm]

There was Jimmy Two Times who got that name cuz he always said everything twice like “ I’m gonna go get the papers, get the papers “. It was later discovered he had a serious case of Asperger’s.

[@gallendugall8913]

A survey of known mobsters revealed mental illness is epidemic amongst their numbers.

[@TheJereld]

The steady cam shots are still amazing. Walking through the back of the restaurant is a masterclass.

[@alanmackie6180]

This is one of the best Goodfellas reactions, I've seen. Thanks, Aria.

[@RyeSix45]

6:28 gets me everytime😂 R.I.P Ray Liotta

[@sca88]

The real sociopathic Tommy was actually 6'2".

[@alexflorea4879]

I absolutely love your mafia movie reactions❤

[@ariachanson01]

Thankyou:)

[@johannesvalterdivizzini1523]

The woman playing Tommy's mother is Martin Scorsese's mother, and those paintings were hers.

[@PolferiferusII]

That whole scene seemed so natural. I'm guessing a lot of it was ad libbed.

[@Vlad47000]

Casino 1995 and The Irishman 2019 are also really incredible if you haven't seen them already, it's definitely worth it! RIP Ray Liotta, Paul Sorvino and Tony Sirico

[@MarcoMM1]

Great reaction Aria like alwyas, love this movie. Some fun-facts about this movie, some of the real criminals portrayed were actually toned down for the film, the infamous “funny how?” scene wasn’t in the script. This famous (if not the most quoted) scene comes at the beginning, when Pesci's Tommy DeVito jokingly-yet-uncomfortably accosts Henry Hill for calling him "funny." In addition to being the driving force behind the scene on screen, Pesci is also responsible for coming up with the premise. Both of Martin Scorsese’s parents have cameos in this movie. She plays Tommy's mother in the infamous dinner scene following Billy Batts’s murder, but the family connections hardly stop there. Tommy’s mother’s painting of two dogs sitting in front of an old man ("One's going east, and the other one is going west. So what?") was actually painted by co-writer Nicholas Pileggi’s mother. And Scorsese's father Charles also pops up as Henry’s prison compadre who puts way too many onions in the gravy. The large “f**k” count was mostly improvised, among the many things Goodfellas has become famous for over the 30 years is its liberal use of the word “f**k.” In all, the expletive and its many colorful derivatives are used 300 times. I dont know how this movie only went home with one Academy Award. You should react to "Casino" (1995) is another masterpiece from Scorsese, with De Niro and Pesci. Keep up the amazing work.

[@gacaptain]

They originally wanted to name this movie “Wiseguys “ the name of the book it’s based on but that name was already taken by another movie. Wiseguy is a term American mafia members used to refer to each other its used a lot more than Goodfellas but they had to settle for Goodfellas instead.

[@MichaelFoster117]

She had that painting in her inventory. The real story of these guys was much more grim if you read the book it's based on. the real tommy was 6ft tall and a genuine maniac, The portrayal of henry was also VERY glamourized for the stories sake

[@michaelb1761]

Whenever an interviewer asks one of these mobsters what movies are the closest to reality, it's always Godfather and Goodfellas. Tommy was killed in real life, but they reportedly didn't get rid of his body like they show in the movie.

[@cliffwheeler7357]

The elderly woman playing the part of Tommy’s mother, was Martin Scorsese’s mother!

[@JJgibson1]

Check out the movie American Gangster(2007) This is also based on a true story.

[@markjuarez1791]

Aria, fine reaction from you. Goodfellas should have won Best Picture at the Oscars that year, but it doesn't always work out. If you want more "Serious, crime/thrillers", then I highly recommend the movie "Heat", with Al Pacino & Robert DeNiro. I know other people have suggested it to you, and with good reason, you'll enjoy it. I would also strongly suggest the movie "L.A. Confidential" with Kevin Spacey, Russell Crowe & Guy Pearce. "American Gangster" with Denzel Washington & Russell Crowe, and "Collateral" with Tom Cruise & Jamie Foxx. These are all very good crime/thrillers that I think you would enjoy. I could go on and on with you about movie suggestions, but I don't wish to overwhelm you. Looking forward to you continuing your adventures with Indiana Jones. You are the best, Aria C! A true joy to watch.

[@davewhitmore1958]

Gedd outta heah, Aria! Great reaction!!!

[@positivelynegative9149]

For another mafia-related film based on a true story, watch Donnie Brasco (1997). I've seen 20+ reactions to Goodfellas, but not 1 to Donnie Brasco. 🤔

[@truckerkevthepaidtourist]

04:56 one of the biggest errors never caught. Idlewild airport 1963 And they're leaning up against the 1965 Chevy

[@brianquinn8384]

I really enjoyed the reaction, Aria. I really enjoyed the reaction, Aria.

[@davidryan1295]

Jimmy would end up dying in prison also. Meanwhile, Henry Hill left witness protection. There are old Howard Stern show appearances where Henry would show up drunk most of the time. Casino is the follow up to this film. The Irishman is, in my opinion, the 3rd in the trilogy. It is also, in my opinion, Scorcese's best gangster film.

[@JJgibson1]

Check out the movies American Me(1992), Menace ll Society(1993), Training Day(2001), and Scarface(1983).

[@MaxxRemKing1]

I'm here for the great Aria ASMR commentary

[@hundinger1]

"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be in a mafia movie". Abed, Community season 1, episode 21. I recommend watching it with a fresh Goodfellas memory, it's a great hommage.

[@JustGrowingUp84]

"reads title" - yup, that's pretty much it. I love the contrast and irony between how the gangsters see themselves and how they really are.

[@bossfan49]

Aria I have that issue with mafia/mobster movies. I enjoy the story and the acting etc, but I always feel like something is missing. Thete's no good guy to root for.

[@chrissiegle1065]

Minnie seemed to like this movie. 😊

[@cruzmizzl]

FunFact- Real life Jimmy named his 2sons Frank, n Jesse James- after the outlaw bank robber brothers.

[@anthonyvasquezactor]

I was a little surprised you didn't recognize Samuel L. Jackson as Stacks.

[@ariachanson01]

You know, I was wondering if it was him when I was editing but didn’t look it up…

[@victorsixtythree]

Pretty much everyone in the movie ends up dead or in prison. The only alternative, it seems, is to go into the witness protection program. But I always wonder if any gangsters ever "made it" and found themselves living a quiet, peaceful and comfortable life somewhere. I doubt it...

[@saagisharon8595]

27:52 that's exactly what jimmy was doing

[@paulobrien9572]

Aria you definitely amuse me 😉

[@TheHessian123]

There were parts of the Godfather that were based on real people. The singer named Johnny Fontain is based on Frank Sinatra who was suspected but not proven to be in league with the Mafia. There are other examples in the Godfather series that match other real people.

[@Rudy4099]

Great reaction! =;-D

[@ExUSSailor]

One of the BEST mafia movies ever. What you need to remember is, Henry Hill was a drug addict, and, a rat, so, his word should be taken with a grain of salt.

[@ariachanson01]

Rightttt, I didn’t think of it that way…

[@dan_hitchman007]

​@@ariachanson01And even movies inspired by true events can have fictional aspects to them to amp up the drama, as I'm sure you realize. The filmmakers and studios have to put butts in theater seats after all. Though, with the mafia (Italian, Russian, Asian, etc.), these guys (and gals) are sometimes as bad or worse than what is depicted in movies or books. They can be real psychopathic monsters.

[@aarrgghh]

"this cannot have a happy ending."

[@victorsixtythree]

47:46 - "They also could have named the movie 'Wiseguys'". The movie is actually based on a book called "Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family" by Nicholas Pileggi (who also wrote the movie screenplay with director Martin Scorsese). Pileggi and Scorsese teamed up again for the movie "Casino" which was also based on a Pileggi book.

[@anthonyvasquezactor]

They probably went with "Goodfellas" to avoid confusion with a Danny DeVito comedy film released a few years prior that was also named "Wise Guys".

[@nicksneddon2396]

its the greatest film of all time imo - one of the reasons is that it is such a rich film, the script and the direction are so good, Ive seen it about 20 times and every time I watch it I always notice something Ive never seen before. my only criticism is that the last 10-20 minutes it runs out of puff, however this is just because the 2 hours or so before is paced at such a breakneck speed. Tommy is also one of the all time great screen villians, absolutely terrifying

[@nielgregory108]

Staring Ray Liotta and featuring Robert de Niro & Joe Paschi.

[@BeastrealDT]

This is my favorite gangster movie. Whenever it's on I have to watch. ✌️❤️🌹

[@cleonmagabeefy8500]

Actually, the real Henry Hill came out of hiding in the 90s and started going on the Howard Stern Radio Show, they're on KZbin...Liotta definitely has the laugh down.

[@seansersmylie]

[@charleshays5407]

You should watch Casino, which is set in the same universe as this film. It stars Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone, along with people from this film.

Good fellas is a epic movie. The characters were well played and they were believable. If you like movies that really hit home this is the one for you! Highly recommend if you like gangster movies.

[@nataliestclair6176]

I love this movie, my 2nd favorite mafia movie behind the Godfather movies, bit while this movie was based on Henry Hills book, its not strictly accurate at all. Henry Hill was a notorious liar and went into great detail of embellishing the facts. He was so bad that the NYC prosecutor who flipped him as a witness said after the Jimmy Burke (Jimmy Conway in the movie) trial that if they had to just rely on Henry Hills testimony they never would have convicted Jimmy Burke. Hill was a terrible witness Henry Hill was on the bottom of the mafia food chain. Not even a member of the mafia just a member of Jimmy Burkes crew. Paulie Vario (Paulie Cicero in the movie) and Hill never had a close relationship as Hill wrote in his book. Vario didnt even know who Henry Hill was. When Vario's attorney told him they had a witnesses and told him who it was, Vario replied, Who the F is Henry Hill."

[@dan_hitchman007]

While he is not the main character nor playing a bad guy, Robert De Niro does an admirable job as a kooky father in the award-winning film, "Silver Linings Playbook." If you want De Niro in another criminal role, I gotta suggest the heist epic, "Heat." I may have mentioned it before. De Niro is fantastic in the spy, action thriller, "Ronin." It features amazing real car stunts and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

[@ariachanson01]

Ooohh, heat is definitely on the list:) thanks for the suggestions:))

[@williamstevenson8518]

Can I take you out on a date?

[@Col_Fragg]

FYI: Mob guys from the 70's era have said that the cushy prison life that Henry Hill brags about simply didn't exist. Hill was not incarcerated in a jail or even a state prison. At the time, Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary was a maximum security prison that housed some of America's most dangerous criminals. In the 70's, Lewisburg had a high number of rape and murders and was under intense media scrutiny. The idea of any inmates, even mafia guys, living such a cushy lifestyle was pure fiction created by Hill who, at the very least, was an unreliable narrator.

[@dakritic]

Starring Al Pachino you say? This is where I exit this video.

[@facubeitches1144]

One of the guys in the scene where Henry is introducing all of the gangsters at the Bamboo Lounge - the one who played Fat Andy - was named Louis Eppolito and was actually an NYPD cop who worked for the mob, even taking part in at least one kidnapping and murder. A few years after the movie came out, he got found out and ended up dying in prison.
