Goodfellas

[SoulReaper]

I watched Goodfellas recently and I thought it was an excellent movie. The portrayal of the Mafia was so deep and I was hooekd onto every scene. A great gangster movie which could give The Godfather a big kick up the butt!

what are your opinions on GOodfellas?

good flick.....great acting for sure

it is certainly one of the best movies I've ever seen. Joe Pesci shone through all this film.

It was probably one of the best mafia films that they had ever come up with; the way that it is narrated is absolutely terriic and I couldn't help but get drawn into the story. It shows both the psychology and general attraction to the mafia that a lot of people do not understand. This was Scorcese's finest film to date.

I also thought that the violence was in no way cartoonish or glorifying of violence, like a lot of films are; it showed it for the very blunt and nasty work that it is, something that Hollywood does not always do, so I felt that that aspect of it was very good, too; rarely does someone get a nasty feeling in their gut when they see violence on the silver screen, but in this case I did get it.

It gave a true portrayal of Mafia violence, imo.

I don't think there was anything fake about this film. It was a truly deep and realistic portrayal of Mafia life.
