Martin Scorsese Talks About His Mother's Role In GOODFELLAS

[calalilygirl]

One of my very favorite scenes in the movie is where the mother appears with the three of them. Never tire of watching that scene.

Rest in peace Catherine Scorsese,

April 16, 1912 – January 6, 1997

I've seen this movie, like, 40 times.

But now that I'm learning these new tidbits about the movie (like never noticing the Copacabana scene was a single steadicam shot) or THIS scene was improvised.... Just amazing. Whole new appreciation.

[MattersUnrelated]

I'm more upset that Jarmusch didn't even remember Ray Liotta was in the scene.

Mother Scorsese is great. Loved her on Letterman as well!

[Cobain0925]

That scene is an absolute classic! Simply brilliant!

[ame7272]

You can see where he gets the good looks (eyebrows) from LOL

[darkahnubis]

I've always wondered if that dinner scene was improvised as Scorsese mentioned. It was one of my favorite scenes.

[Troubleshoot3R]

Fuck that girl in the orange shirt at 1:16 for texting during the interview. When Martin Scorsese speaks, YOU. PAY. ATTENTION!

[AlDAGGAT]

@Troubleshoot3R Well said sir!

[dontleademsomuch]

@Troubleshoot3R she should get her fuckin shinebox!

[FanaticalListener]

@Troubleshoot3R Let's beat her :D

[THOMASkaaz]

At first i thought this was a joke because of the way jim jarmusch looks

[AndThe2Become1Flesh]

That's good Scorcese didn't tell his mother that there is supposed to be a body out in the trunk in that scene. I was just watching it before I saw this and thought she did so well and it seemed so real and natural. If she knew too much about the scene it could have ruined it.

People shouldn't plug their own shit in these videos...

[rtms1988]

Sure I love this movie, but for this scene I have most special feeling to than the whole movie, because I think she looks my grandmother and my lovely grandmom is not italian and neither her family, but they're similar some how, I don't know.

[AndThe2Become1Flesh]

@rtms1988 I feel the same way! She look so much like my great grandma. We aren't Italian either, but she was Eastern European. I think it has to do with being one of the first generations in this country-being more hospitable-and living in a big city. My grandma was from Chicago and East Chicago...

[5Heliotrope]

@kinksboss1 I coudn't agree more...! and the fact that it was almost completely improvised makes it all the more special

[jimmytwotimes95]

[idiotsrus92]
