Just For The Connoisseurs

Rating: 10/10 (11 July 2008)

Masterpiece... 10/10
I will accept any other point of view only if it is very well argued. That is because I loved maths as a child and I still do now.
1.Director-Scorsese is a genius.As a child, I liked to get near people like Goodfellas. It is the same world as this one directed by S. I had the same feeling.That means there's nothing fake in this movie=real art
2.Actors-Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Paul Sorvino-three monsters I adore. Ray Liotta...Mmm...A real time mob playboy any healthy woman or girl would go crazy after (although in real life I understood he is a quite nice guy)
3.Action-brilliant well driven. It is a dream world...but only for wise guys! The only thing that troubled me is that after the incident with the FBI secretary and jail experience, the golden age ended. Nothing would ever be the same for Goodfellas.
What scared me the most is that it was a stupid incident. Not a big event or a big change.No, something very easily to happen. Why did Henry choose to be a runner? Why he ended up the hunted and he had to do that stupid choice?
After the incident, that something just broke up. They lost the paradise.In the first half-before the incident-everything was in its right place, I had a feeling of secure and optimism and happiness. In the second half, after the incident, everything was upside down, I was scared, I needed to find a way out. I would not have made the choice Henry made.
If I had the time, I would see this movie every day. I am sure that each time I see it, I will discover a new detail which escaped me the last time.
I recommend it to everyone who is smart, tough and enjoys watching a very well done movie.
Definitely best mob movie of all times!!!
Congratulations, Mr. Scorsese!
