Goodfellas-Martin Scorsese best movie he ever made

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2019)

Martin Scorsese is probably ,and this is just my opinion,one of the greatest directors ever.
I've seen a lot of great mafia movies and I've played some great mafia games as well and up until now I thought that''The Godfather'' is the best mob movie ever made but I was wrong.
Goodfellas is the greatest mob movies ever made,''The Godfather'' being on the 2nd place.
Most films, even great ones, evaporate like mist once you've returned to the real world; they leave memories behind, but their reality fades fairly quickly. Not this film, which shows America's finest filmmaker at the peak of his form. No finer film has ever been made about organized crime - not even ''The Godfather'' although the two works are not really comparable.
Like "The Godfather," Scorsese's "GoodFellas" is a long movie, with the space and leisure to expand and explore its themes. It isn't about any particular plot; it's about what it felt like to be in the Mafia - the good times and the bad times.
Also Ray Liotta gives a thrillingly livewire and career-defining performance as the wide-eyed aspirational tough guy Henry himself, whose gorgeous gravelly voice gives this film its sensational voiceover, along with Robert De Niro as well as Joe Pesci.
The film's style in the second half turns into a frenetic, feverish mimicry of the wasted-looking Liotta's coked-up mental state. De Niro, who's in the process of sealing his own destruction by eliminating fellow participants in a big heist, goes along with the new economics of crime, and Liotta winds up having to choose in a pinch between freedom and loyalty.
Overall,''Goodfellas is not just one of the greatest masterpiece of Scorsese but it's also a movie that you can't get tired of watching it again because of the great story,the great action scenes and because of the astonishing performance of the cast,especially Ray Liotta and the legendary Robert De Niro.
