Do you have a bucket list? Make some more space for this Scorsese gem

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2016)

Martin Scorsese has a thing for mobsters, for the good life, for profanity, for a very peculiar dark humor, but also for being one of the best in the industry, and this film, which should have won the best picture award in my opinion, can back up his career, a career that spans decades of nothing but great films.
Goodfellas has style, vigorous style that is almost unmatched. Goodfellas has humor, very convenient humor. Goodfellas has profanity, lots and lots of profanity. Goodfellas has outstanding acting, genuine characters, robust dialogue, fine cinematography and a master storyteller at its helm that will leave even the pickiest of the pickiest satisfied.
This film is just so authentic; it feels so real as you watch every shot pass by and all the characters quickly ascend and descend into a range of emotions and situations that many cannot experience. It is a very, very honest portrayal of the life of organized crime, its pros, its cons and its results.
Henry Hill and company are believable characters that bring out the best (or worst) in people and summarize it in impeccable representations. The film is very impressive in its progression and has numerous memorable moments and quotable lines. The artistic merit of this piece can only be praised, and I can only praise Scorsese in the liberty he took in approaching its themes.
Goodfellas will not disappoint... It can't disappoint.
