True. It needed to be done to create a sympathetic narrator. Let's face it if the real character of henry hill was in this movie our morality would have got in the way of entering most scenes.
I wouldn't say that you can compare GoodFellas and Scarface this way. GoodFellas is a film that shows you the real mob life and shocks you. Scarface is more like a comedy (although it is VERY voilent) with overacted and cartoon-like characters. GoodFellas is a very serious film.
Both films are masterpieces, but GoodFellas is the better one of course. But you can't say Scarface is bad, just because it's different. :)
I don't understand the significance of playing Sunshine of Your Love by Cream in this clip by the director. The music has absolutely nothing to do with this storyline, other than this song coming out in the late '60s. But it makes no sense and I chide the director for easily copping to using such a tune to somehow further dramatize this scene when it wasn't necessary.
@cutis1000 in using music during a film, the words don't have to relate to what is going on. it's more about the sound of the music and the way it brings out a mood or a feeling that isn't nessecarilly being spoken. the lyrics shouldn't have to have a literal connection but should relate in some way. that is something a truly talented director like scorsese understands. i'd say take another look.
@samfilmkid Your response doesn't answer my question. I don' t see the connection between using SOYL and this scene. I don't even care about the lyrics. I'm talking about the song. It is a dance song. It is not a song for a backdrop where one guy is about to get killed. What kind of mood does this song bring out to you when you hear it just by itself? Do you want to kill someone? And juxtapose that song to a scene where someone is about to get whacked. Please explain.
@cutis1000 I'll answer, to me that song sounds kinda gassed up, which mirrors DeNiros charcaters emotions, he was gearing up to kill him. Killing takes aggression, and the song was aggressive. Basically what the mood of the song is saying in this scene is that.... 'Its oooon now.' Its written all over Deniro's face when he's smoking.
@Anoneverlast OK, thanks for your explanation. I stil don't agree with it but I appreciate you fleshing out the idea Deniro had in choosing this song as the backdrop for the killing.
@bitterclinger100 Goodfellas lost Best Picture to Dances With Wolves.Can anybody seriously say ,even in hindsight,that "Dances" ages as well as Goodfellas.....Travesty..t
De Niro should've have gotten an Oscar just for that stare at the end. It's like you can hear what he's thinking just with that stare -- brilliant acting w/out saying a single word.
Scarface is fun to watch, but face it: the movie's extremely uneven and Al Pacino's role may be the worst case of overacting in history. I feel much more engaged watching Goodfellas, Godfather or Casino.
De Niro's face is the same in many other movies and scenes - film acting is not what people think...what you read into it is all down to staying still, staring, slowing down, and not blinking. Try it sometime - you might scare somebody...( with the right soundtrack. and lens)
@olivvrr I kind of know what you're talking about. But I only started to hate his face after he became addicted to cocaine. But yeah I see where you're coming from
@zigzagbigbag ...What was even funnier about that particular scene was that as he was being strangled...his fucking wig comes off!! Even Ray Liotta busted up over that shit...fucking classic!
@bitterclinger100 You're right he's a great actor but I think having him in the Sopranos might not've worked. To have all the typecast mafia actors in the series like Joe Pesci, Ray Liotta and even Robert De Niro might've spoilt it. I know Frank Vincent was excellent and he's a great mafia character but any more might've been overkill. I dont know, just my opinion
@tryandlisten You may be right. I thought he would have been good as Tony's consiliari, Silvio. In Goodfellas he came across as more thoughtful, less impulsive, than the rest of his crew. But again, just a personal bias cause I'm a big Ray Liotta fan.
@bitterclinger100 nah sorry, no disrespect to Liotta but Steven Van Zandt was legendary in that role and I couldnt imagine anyone else playing Silvio. Problem with the Sopranos (not that it is really a problem) is that the show was so good that the main cast is hard to fault. I think it would've been good to throw in additional characters perhaps in cameos. Like Annette Bening did, she was great in that one episode
@tryandlisten You're probably right about Van Zandt. Just for fun I put different actors into the characters, for example, Tom Sizemore as Tony Soprano. Ray Liotta as Silvio, etc. I admit I have an unhealthy obsession with the Sopranos. Sizemore would've been good, except one thing: he ain't Italian. Gandolfini knows how to pronounce Italian words just right. I like Sizemore cause he looks tougher (to me) than Gandolfini, who's a bit oafish. Just my oppinion.
@bitterclinger100 LOL Good call about Tom Sizemore! I think towards the end that's how the directors and Gandolfini wanted Tony to appear, i.e. Overweight, his heavy wheezing/breathing, always eating. You probably noticed the character morphed from a relatively slim and almost playboy-like character to an overweight degenerate. It would be great to sit down and ask David Chase 20 questions, my first would be why the fuck he ended the show like that!
@bitterclinger100 i have to be honest i dont really see him as a serious actor. Apart from A Bronx Tale he hasn't really done any movies i liked or of note (including Analyse This). Vince Curatola really nailed that character well. Again I am biased towards anyone in the show coz I am such a huge fan of it, I personally cant fault any of the actors in it.

he wasn't going to whack just Maury, but all of the people he owed money to. the heist was done and Jimmy had all the money after he kicked some upstairs to Pauly. I think what happened was he was pissed at having his balls busted by Maury so he could just kill Maury that way he doesn't have to pay him and he can keep the money. And so while he's at it he might as well kill Frenchy, Carbone, and everyone else who is entitled to a cut of the robbery money and just keep it all for himself.
I wonder if it happened this way in real life...that they used the almost sacred ceremony of making someone as a reuss to whack them...if that's true and you are a mobster then you have to wonder if you are told that they are going to make you..."are they really going to make me? or are they going to whack me?"...it seems like to do that would almost be a desecration or an unwise use of the entire process of getting made...and yeah great no-dialouge scene, though. the best in cinematic history
@TheWackadooFuckhead they probably just did that to create a dramatic surprise...like you, the viewer, thinks that Tommy is getting this major promotion but instead they kill him...another thing, the voice over says that they shot Tommy in the face but in the movie they shot him in the back of the head...I guess he had exit wounds on his face??...but the voiceover contradicts what happened in the movie...but yeah they surprise you like they make you think Maury isn't getting whacked but he does.
I don't know if its just me but I knew that 'getting whacked or if someone is whack or is whacked" since I was little. (blame my father for showing me gangster flicks) XD The frustrating thing is, when people say "that shit is whack! Or he just got whacked!" I automatically think, did someone die?! XDDDD
@animallover70 "whack" is an old mafia term when a hit is put out on a person and they are going to kill him...they don't say kill him they say whack him...like whacking a weed or something...in the '70s or '80s black people starting saying that something is "wack" in the way that you might say something sucks..."crack is wack"...I think it came from the old use of the word "wacky" as being crazy...so "wack" means that something is stupid or it sucks...
@sh4p3shifter "Do you think Maury tells his wife everything?"
And of course he's thinking about killing the dude he owes money to. That dude is Maury, and Maury is breaking his balls about it. Maury is a nobody, and Deniro's character is a murdering mobster. Never, never break Robert Deniro's balls, especially if he's a murdering mobster.
I couldn't agree more this is the best scene, second being Joe Pesci's how am I funny scene...the music just makes the moment...Martin Scorsese always knows the best music
The chemistry among the 3 in this movie was fantastic. Especially like de niro and pesci in this scene. pesci, the director and the makeup people were fantastic. look at him at :48. It is perfect. he is happy and STILL comes across crazy.
@RedRiverChannel But Goodfellas itself is a glamourised movie. The lifestyle is told this way... and that is the basis of it's appeal as gangster movie.
You're absolutely right. "Scarface" is just a fun, well-made mob movie..."Goodfellas" is a real masterpiece of film making. The two aren't even in the same league.
@mco119 No "Scarface" is a masterpiece, carried by a fantastic performance by Al Pacino. As you said, "Goodfellas" is a real masterpiece of film-making, it's like the real star of the film is Scorsese. "Goodfellas" in my personal Top 5, but I'm sure we can appreciate the film without diminishing the merit of "Scarface". They are in the same league,
Don't get me wrong, I do think "Scarface" is a good movie, and I agree that Pacino was fantastic in the lead role. However, I still would never call it a masterpiece; it's a fun, interesting, and well-done film, but I wouldn't go much further than that. Scorsese runs circles around a director like Brian De Palma, at least in my opinion. "Goodfellas" is the kind of film that actually could have won Best Picture/Director...I doubt that can be said of "Scarface."
Ah, but I did! However, my comparison was actually a response to someone that was already comparing the two films (by claiming they were equals). Anyway, you don't need to compare them if you don't want to...but if you did, you'd probably be forced to admit the huge quality gap between the two:) Saying otherwise is like comparing "Unforgiven" to "Tombstone," at least in my opinion. Again, it's just my opinion.
You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?

I don't know if its just me but I knew that 'getting whacked or if someone is whack or is whacked" since I was little. (blame my father for showing me gangster flicks) XD The frustrating thing is, when people say "that shit is whack! Or he just got whacked!" I automatically think, did someone die?! XDDDD

@animallover70 "whack" is an old mafia term when a hit is put out on a person and they are going to kill him...they don't say kill him they say whack him...like whacking a weed or something...in the '70s or '80s black people starting saying that something is "wack" in the way that you might say something sucks..."crack is wack"...I think it came from the old use of the word "wacky" as being crazy...so "wack" means that something is stupid or it sucks...

What was Jimmy thinking and looking at when smoking? Killing the dude he owed money? Also what did he say at 2:43

@sh4p3shifter "Do you think Maury tells his wife everything?"
And of course he's thinking about killing the dude he owes money to. That dude is Maury, and Maury is breaking his balls about it. Maury is a nobody, and Deniro's character is a murdering mobster. Never, never break Robert Deniro's balls, especially if he's a murdering mobster.

The chemistry among the 3 in this movie was fantastic. Especially like de niro and pesci in this scene. pesci, the director and the makeup people were fantastic. look at him at :48. It is perfect. he is happy and STILL comes across crazy.

Greatest movie of all time.. People always put Scarface ahead of this movie.. Scarface doesn't touch Goodfellas in my opinion!
jeffernater 1 year ago 53
@jeffernater
It kinda depends..
Scarface is a awesome movie but It's all fictional.
Goodfellas on the other hand, is based on real events, and Henry Hill actually exist.
So in my opinion it's kinda hard to compare them since they're slightly diffrent.

@RedRiverChannel But Goodfellas itself is a glamourised movie. The lifestyle is told this way... and that is the basis of it's appeal as gangster movie.

You're absolutely right. "Scarface" is just a fun, well-made mob movie..."Goodfellas" is a real masterpiece of film making. The two aren't even in the same league.
mco119 8 months ago 60
@mco119 No "Scarface" is a masterpiece, carried by a fantastic performance by Al Pacino. As you said, "Goodfellas" is a real masterpiece of film-making, it's like the real star of the film is Scorsese. "Goodfellas" in my personal Top 5, but I'm sure we can appreciate the film without diminishing the merit of "Scarface". They are in the same league,

@ElMaruecan82
Don't get me wrong, I do think "Scarface" is a good movie, and I agree that Pacino was fantastic in the lead role. However, I still would never call it a masterpiece; it's a fun, interesting, and well-done film, but I wouldn't go much further than that. Scorsese runs circles around a director like Brian De Palma, at least in my opinion. "Goodfellas" is the kind of film that actually could have won Best Picture/Director...I doubt that can be said of "Scarface."
Just my opinion!

@IVomitOnYourGod
Ah, but I did! However, my comparison was actually a response to someone that was already comparing the two films (by claiming they were equals). Anyway, you don't need to compare them if you don't want to...but if you did, you'd probably be forced to admit the huge quality gap between the two:) Saying otherwise is like comparing "Unforgiven" to "Tombstone," at least in my opinion. Again, it's just my opinion.
