This shot is absolutely brilliant in my opinion. The soundtrack fits it in with such finesse.The stedicam brings in the whole world of the characters. It feels like we are walking with them into the restaurant. We get a feeling of what it likes to be Henry hill and his girlfriend by the reactions of the people who they meet while entering through the building.Classic film.
I absolutely agree. It’s such an intimate scene with the characters. The only other film I can immediately comes to mind with shots like this is Das Boot with those amazing moments you have with the crew. I think because it was shot in an actual submarine, just as this was shot in an actual club, they feel so authentic!
Just read that Michael Ballhaus, who did the cinematography on this scene and many other great movies (several more Scorsese ones in particular), passed away last night. RIP and thanks for your great contribution to cinema!
The first scene I ever saw that made me think, "Holy shit, filmmaking can be a thing of everlasting beauty, an artform in the truest form, like any painting or sculpture, but even better in many ways!"
Forever this way for film! ❤️ The possibilities in film are endless! 😘 This doesn't feel like it was filmed in the late 80's and early 90's! Violator and Behaviour came out that year!! 😮 This medium really is God's blessing to us!
@@Owen69420 10 give or take 5 I'd say. Anyway, who stays with somebody because they did something very very cool, difficult, and over the top even if just for you?
That's the scene that opened my eyes to what cinema is truly about. I was 16 years old and I had a 27 year old cinema teacher. He introduced us to this masterpiece and my perception of a camera was changed forever.
this scene is important because the director never cut the walking: it's about the protagonist, that, in this moment of his life, doesn't need to wait for anything: everything goes simply, strictly to the best place in the restaurant. so, when you watch the scene you can partecipate to this sensation. and the song is about the interior emotion of his girl.
Technically speaking most mob guys were. They controlled the unions and the unions had power thru them. Not like nowdays unions. People then were scared shitless to piss off a union.
Just read a piece on this with an interview from Ballhouse (RIP). Something I didn't notice until reading it is that Ray Liotta turns sideways every few seconds to interact with extras. This seems totally natural for his character. But there was a reason- so the camera and lights pick up his face. Otherwise you're just staring at the backs of their heads for 2 1/2 minutes and that tends to bring you out of the scene. It also allowed the Ballhouse to catch up to them and get closer in, if only for a split second. Liotta improv'd these parts in rehearsal. Like they say "show, don't tell" This scene is a great example of all of it- director, cinematographer, sound, lighting, actors perfectly working together.
He actually hurt his elbow when walking into the table in the kitchen. His “hey!” reaction is unscripted and real. They loved this take so much they kept it in
On here there is a behind the scenes look at how they did this and you see how Ray helped out with the shot so it didn't seem boring looking at their backs the whole time. Notice Ray turns to people and says stuff? That was his idea. RIP to Ray.
Saw Jon Stewart recreate this with his own flair and screamed with excitement. this scene has given me a type of warmth that only certain movies can touch people with. Scorsese is legendary.
I felt the same way......maybe it has something to do with the people in this movie are all very close knit and form a strong pack in a heard kinda way which gives a sense of home or protection.... I think
I love both, but because more stuff happens quicker, Goodfellas is slightly better than the Godfather(s), but I see why audiences and critics put the Godfather up there with the very best ever made. I will always love Goodfellas and every time I watch it, I can't help react the same as I did the first time watching it. This scene in particular and the little scene with "Sunshine of you Love" plays and Robert De Niro's eyes change, blow me away every time
I'm just now noticing the fantastic use of color in this scene. When they enter the restaurant everything is red, even the clothing of the staff. It creates a sort of feeling of entering hell, like she's entering into a deal with the devil (which she pretty much is). Right before they went through the doors the walls were green and covered in pictures of green growth, Eden-like even. Henry is the same, appears as a paradise but is danger on the inside. Through the rest of the scene red is almost the only color we see, the rest is mostly gray. That makes the visuals less busy which is good because there would be an uncomfortable amount of visual information if they would walk through a more colorful place. Near the end the owner wears blue which makes him stand out and brings a fun variety to the color at that point. It also brings the scene into a circle since there was a blue car to the left of them when they entered the building and the owner stands at their left as well.
Damn.. this is got to be the greatest shot. Just perfect. So fluid. Got lot of elements. Everyone acts just natural. Look at that girl's amazement in the scene. I watched it over and over. Every time I just notice a new thing in this scene.
Perfect mix of sound and visuals. It's Karen's first date with Henry and she's all giddy and excited and it comes across perfectly. 'Goodfellas' is one of Scorsese's best movies; he loves those old rock'n'roll songs and so do we.
i dont see why this hasn't had more views or comments, its a classic movie and an amazing scene. Ive just started a one shot project, and straight away this came to mind, love it
In my opinion, this is the greatest scene ever filmed. The camera action, so well choreographed, the perfect use of music, and use of sound. This is just perfection. Martin Scorsese is just a genius behind the camera.
Don't forget the backing song by The Crystals. 'And Then He Kissed Me' has to be the greatest boy-meets-girl anthem from the 60s. Absolute perfection, pace The Ronnettes. Just another signature masterstroke by the master.
One of my favorite shots in any movie. The timing, the steady cam, the choreography, colors, matched with The Crystals is superb. Makes you really feel like you are in a whirl. Which really puts you in Karen's shoes. Thank you!
You know a movie's great when you can literally find every scene on UA-cam, each being labeled "one of the best scenes ever filmed" etc etc. It's true.
One of the best moments in cinema history. An amazing camera shot with such a great song playing. Ray Lioatta and Karen Hill is just amazing during the scene.
It is an amazing shot. The co-ordination of background cast, the lighting changes and used in the right way for the impact of the scene - on first time watching you would not notice it was a single shot.
Ever time I tell Larry Mcconkey that his is one of my favorite Steadicam moves he is more than humble about it. One also has to further consider when this move was performed and the equipment used.
+RSBSTEADICAM Rick how ya doin? Still have the EFP rig? I loved ur remark about what equip Larry used. His modified 3A at the time? He definitely didnt have a back mounted vest! I sold my rig in 2008 thanks for all your support and help. Sail Safe Lou R
+steadilsr Hi Lou, Good to hear from you. I sold all but one rig which I need to do. I do have a little Merlin rig set up with video assist and two Sony wireless mics on a special support we fabed up. I am directing and producing (and doing engineering consulting) now with a show you can find on Facebook called: Live Venue: Performance Video & More. Why not check it out and hit me there?
I just love this scene, screams cool. Great shot, not cuts, great song to accompany. I love it cause Henry walks in like the owns the place. While a broad generalization, every guy wants to impress his first date. This scene epitomizes that effort. Never get tired of seeing this clip.
fantastic ! when you imagine how many thoughts were put into this scene. stunning! and the choice of music could not be any more fitting have to re-watch the movie again
Watch for the firehose just before they hit the kitchen. Once inside the kitchen they take a full lap (in a circle) and come right out from where they came. Brilliant! Great use of visual imagery to disguise the geography of the set. =)
I've wondered why so few ever pick up on this. They literally go back out where they came in, there was no need to go through the kitchen at all. While the scene is obviously beautiful, it always bugged me a little.
Scorsese originally wanted to go through the front door but could not get permission from the Copa management. He turned it into a memorable scene anyway. The whole movie is mesmerizing and brilliant. Every scene, every character make it one of the greatest films of all time.
Holy shit. I've never seen this movie, I'm not even sure what it's about, but to demonstrate how good a level of filmmaking this is I'm going to tell you what I learnt in this shot. Our main character is a suave dude who knows how this place works, it seems to be run by slightly shady characters, I'm not sure if it's a club or a restaurant or a cabaret place or what, but I'm guessing mafia for sure. It's full of rich people, most of whom our protagonist knows, so he's in with the mafia that owns this place? We've got an iconic looking concierge type dude in a blue suit, he seems important, and he stands out too, so we'll notice him later on. Then we've got the protagonist's girl, a date I think, who doesn't really know what's going on, so a bit of a stranger to the protagonist, and of course he's trying to impress her. She seems a bit overwhelmed actually. Look how much I can get just from this shot, omg this is beautiful.
I completely agree with peyman... it is so beautifully done, just EPIC. One of my favorite movie scenes of all time. Everything is perfect... from the bustling kitchen to the music to the back of her beautiful dress... wow!!!!!!!!!!
I don't understand why you cut out the end of the scene with Henny Youngman. The fact that the scene doesn't cut until he starts his routine shows that the sequence is even more amazing.
and then he kissed me by the crystals great song !! especially for this scene. marty beautifully works in the perfect song for every scene. it's unbelievable.
LOL i looked this scene up one night and then the next morning i find out it's the clip we have to critique in my film class for my midterm. i got SO lucky.
This is academy: One shot, people passing in front of the cameraman, Ray Liotta that waits the cameraman on the stairs opening the door and giving tips to the waiter, Ray Liotta that speaks to the couple in the corridor to turn back in front of the camera, high illumination of the kitchen just for the shooting purpose: all done in one single scene, without editing. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Martin Scorsese is a GENIUS when it comes to blending music and motion picture. We can see this on the begining of Raging Bull, on this scene and the Layla scene in Goodfellas, on "The House of Rising sun" in Casino, etc etc etc
The movie summed up in 1 tracking shot, they get the best seats, money glamour etc but they have to go through the back to get it
That's really good.
Mate I'm picking bits of my brain from the floor because you just blew my mind
jaw = dropped.
Brilliant isn't it. Even more brilliant is that i had to be thought up on the spot when the club didn't want to let them film the main entrance.
Jamie Maudlin ever notice they are just going in a big circle?
The planning and filming of this one scene probably would drive a lesser director to alcoholism
Nice!

+Rob Smith do you know the name of the song?
The song is “Then He Kissed Me,” by The Crystals. It’s a 1963 release that was written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry.
So much symbolism in one scene. All of the power, glam and cheating through the backdoor to be on top.

R.I.P. Ray. You will be greatly missed on screen.
The genius is not the steady cam stunt itself, but how the world opens up to him with a few pieces of paper. It must be intoxicating.
For me is this a piece of Craftmanship.
