***** don't read it if u haven't seen this movie ******************

Rating: 10/10 (24 October 2005)

It is a true mobster story about three violent "wise guys", enhanced by the Italian-American director's own experience of his upbringing in Italy.The young Henry Hill (Christopher Serrone), a teenager in an impoverished Brooklyn neighborhood in the mid-1950s, is attracted to and impressed by the flashy, expensive clothes and cars that would congregate across the street from his family's apartment.Background music has played a great role in the success of this movie . In Goodfellas the director returns to the formula to select pop songs that perfectly evoke the New York mobsters of his youth. It constitutes of a pop oldies soundtrack, beginning with crooner Tony Bennett's "Rags to Riches," proceeding through rock 'n' roll, jukebox music and top 40 tunes etc. The way these score have been added to the movie have given layer of meaning, mood and information to the fact-based tale. over all i should say that this is one the greatest movie I have ever seen in my life good work martin
