Goodfellas. Good movie!

Rating: 10/10 (18 February 2014)

"Good fellas" is a true story about Robert De Niro who plays "Henry Hill," a small time gangster in New York City who works his way to higher power of the mob. The movie takes places around the time frame of 1955 to 1980 in New York City. The film is based on the book, "Wise Guy" published in 1986 by Nicholas Pileggi. Produced by, Warner Bros, the film won one Oscar award for Best actor in supporting role by actor Joe Pecsi. It was also followed by winning 41 awards along with 23 nominations. The movie grossed at $46.8 million with a budget of $25 Mil. Henry Hill takes action in a robbery, where his two associates Jimmy Conway and Tommy De Vito begin to kill everyone who took part in the robbery. Henry hill is affected very negatively by the actions of his fellow mobsters and will do everything in his power to bring them down. My Favorite part of the movie is when Robert De Niro begins the movie with the words said by Henry Hill himself, "For as long as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster. To me that was better than being president of the United States. To be a gangster was to own the world." The movie condones a lot of violence, drugs, and sex but never one time does the main character turn his back on his dream of becoming a gangster.
