I love how sudden and understated it is. In any other movie, you'd probably expect a character as loud and brass as Tommy to go out in gloriously OTT fashion, but Goodfellas is not most other movies. Tommy is dealt with quickly and quietly... which is probably what he deserves.
"Jimmy was cutting every link between himself and the robbery, but it had nothing to do with me," says the guy who knew all about the heist and got a hefty cut of the take. I would've started worrying as soon as I saw those dead bodies start turning up.
Henry wasn't pestering Jimmy for money or flashing his cash stupidly like those other guys. Plus Henry regularly made Jimmy money through his Pittsburgh drug deals....Henry was a big earner (unlike those other guys) so that's why he wasn't worried
I find it so amazing the power and influence Jimmy had and he wasn’t a made guy!! Jimmy pretty much operated like a Capo for years and he was just an associate.
Oh boy, I remember the beginning of this movie when all those guys were introduced. Everyone seemed so happy, smiling and shaking each other's hands. And after a while we see them all looking like dead meat with blood splattered all over them, while this incredible Eric Clapton tune is played in the background. Scorsese is a fucking genius by all means!!
This music works perfect as an upbeat soundtrack for a happy ending... and in a way this sequence marks the ending of the first half of movie where the mob is portraited as a glamorous, friendly association. After "Layla" plays out, the movie turns darker, is all about betrayal and the slow decay of each character until the bitter ending.
I know that the TV show, Sopranos, had nothing on Goodfellas, as it was a TV show, but I do wish someone could have convinced Scorsese to do the recent film.
This was where the fun started wearing off and the hangover started kicking in. An end of their era, and the beginning of their declines. If you've never seen this movie, watch it soon. It's great.
@@bungle3912 everyone is entitled to an opinion, which is all it is, although The Godfather parts 1 and 2, received more nominations and awards than Goodfellas.
@@dennispicone6801 They are quite different. Godfather 1 and 2 are great films but they are romanticized versions of the Mafia. Goodfellas is a much more realistic version. As Henry says in one scene "We were blue collar guys from the neighborhood."
This song gives me chills every time that I hear it. Even on the car radio in the middle of the summer. I can never hear the second half of "Layla" the same ever again.
The fact that Tommy's mother was proud of him getting made made my day when I first seen this movie as a kid with my father & then Tommy gets his lights turned out,, that was the first time my father herd me curse & all he could do was laugh 🤣
"When they found Tommy's shinebox it took two day's to thaw it before they cold polish Billy Batts shoe's" "Batt's was a made guy and Tommy's shinebox wasn't"
Many people may resent Henry for ratting out Jimmy and Paulie, but this shows why he did what he did. At the end, Henry was the very last person with inside knowledge on the Lufthansa heist still alive, and the last person that could link Jimmy to the Lufthansa heist. There's no doubt in my mind that he was seeing the hand writing on the wall after this.
This was Henry's side of the story, but the way investigators and Jimmy told it, Henry wasn't nearly as important to this crew as he made himself out to be. The cops who worked the Lufthansa case said they had a pretty good idea who did it, since it was such an audacious robbery there were only so many crews who would try it, let alone pull it off. Just a matter of getting the evidence to stick.
He just used Henry up, and then discarded him when he couldn’t get any more use/money from him anymore. When Henry got busted for the drugs, Jimmy decided to throw him under the bus.
That's all it. Being a "friend of theirs" means they might not whack you that particular night. Even being "made" means very little to these guys at the end of the day.
actually it shows how they valued someones life, remember after the shoe shine scene he killed the guy who was a "made" man so they had to kill him, they valued the guy he killed and that was the price to pay, it was probably dinero who ratted him out
So Jimmy was upset he got the Cadillac because it might draw attention to them all but then he kills them both and leaves their bodies in the new Cadillac like that's not going to draw waaaay more attention to them???
They are dressed in the same as in the party so they were allegedly murdered that same night. If to cross to the "real" history here: Jimmy knew the FBI suspect him, but they needed proof. So he had the participants eliminated.
What I love is the hypocrisy of the scene after jimmy finds out. You get the whole "They shot him in the face so his ma couldnt even get an open casket funeral" or something like that. Ignoring the fact that they literally beat and stabbed a made man to death then disappeared his body so his family didnt even have a BODY to bury. Tommy didnt deserve any respect in his getting whacked, and it wasnt even remotely over the line how they responded to it. In fact it was pretty measured. Boom, headshot, done deal. Not like casino where he gets to watch his brother beaten into a coma, then gets the same himself then both are buried alive in the desert.
What's worse is that Tommy's fate in GoodFellas is lenient compared to what the real Tommy DeSimone got for Billy Bats. His body was never found. John Gotti himself and his crew took care of him, and rumor has it that they tortured him extensively before finishing him up.
I like that the car still has the new car sticker on the window. I remember people would keep that on for a while to show off its new in case someone didn't know.
Bit of trivia on this, the piano section was written by Jim Gordon who was the drummer in Derek & the Dominos and got a co-writers credit on the song. He had undiagnosed manic depression and is now serving a life sentence for murdering his mother. When Clapton’s unplugged version of Layla was a hit he was reportedly asked about it and said he’d track down Clapton and kill him too. He blamed Clapton and this song for the manic depression that ruined his life.
They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings-and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.”
Every time I hear the piano ending of Layla, I think of Frankie Carbone in the meat truck. Instantly and probably forever. Took 2 days to thaw him out for the autopsy. Fucking brilliant.
When I worked construction, every time this part of the song came on the radio someone would get their balls broke. Eg. “By the time they found Jerry in the PortAjohn he’d been in there so long we had to wait 20 minutes for his feet to wake up before he could get back to work. “ Anyways what did I care? I’m a mason and it’s Friday.” I miss working in and environment like that.
0:05 , 254 Yip. Yip is a popular Chinese last name, the Sifu of Bruce Lee was Yip Man. It also means someone who talks a lot, "Quit your yipping". Not sure the hidden meaning of 254 but probably means something.
The main lesson learned in all of these mob movies and Soprano's TV shows is if you join the mob you will wind up in one of two places...dead or in jail.
About six months ago they caught one of the remaining fugitives who blew up the highway outside Palermo in 1992 and killed prosecutor Giovanni Falcone. He had to basically live under self-imposed house arrest in an unassuming house and communicate by messenger. They finally caught him when he went to a medical clinic for treatment. Probably had loads of money at his disposal, but for what good?
In Goodfellas it seems that being made means becoming a very powerful man. In Donnie Brasco there are a lot of made guys whose life isn't all that great.
Layla has to be one of the greatest songs of all time, at least it is for me, especially the piano solo in the last half of the song. It was used just right in this movie too, great scene.
The greatest love song ever. Rest in peace good sir. Your performance in good fellas ranks up there with Heath ledgers portrayal of the joker or Anthony Perkins in silence of the lambs. Hats off to you. Henry Hill should be proud.
I liked Mean Streets as an early Scorsese classic, and also the King of Comedy, very underrated. The Bands Last Waltz , No Direction Home and Shine a Light for musical documentaries.

No Henry did help with the heist. He just knew better than to ask for his cut because the money was really Jimmy's and he'd get whacked if he kept annoying him like those other guys
You know what is sad the fact that these people were mates, friends of Jimmy Conway and the way he treated them. 2 people were found in a dumpster. A man and his wife were shot and left to rot in a car and a man was left to freeze to death in a meat truck. He know these people and their families and yet he could do this. Excellent direction by Martin Scorsese.
I love how Henry just straight up admits that he doesn't give a shit that his own friends are being murdered purely because Jimmy would rather keep the money from the heist for himself as opposed to giving the people who stole it their fair share. Just goes to show that the idea that the mob are a family is pure delusional BS.

Martin Scorsese is a GENIUS with regard combine music and cinema. Scenes like the ending of Taxi Driver, the intro of Raging Bull, Goodfellas Layla, Casino's The House of Rising Sun (sick or no fucking sick you knew people were going to get clipped), Wolf of Wall Street's Mrs Robinson, were simply perfect. They are masterpieces.
@@pnut3844able Come on man, the themes might be similar but each individual one is a well put together film with great acting, some would consider them masterpieces and I wouldn't disagree on a few, certainly Goodfellas anyway.
I think its funny that someone who had the balls to say some movies aren't even cinema (Scorcese) gets so much credit for cool 'kill scenes' and a reliance on violence, pop music and shocking people throughout his career to create his "masterpieces". It's a cheap trick using violence, music and a sudden shift to the macabre to create a quote 'masterpiece' ask Quentin. Not masterpieces folks. We all like cool violence that is all. It's a cheap trick just like we like comic book movies.

This song came on and the Dj offered tickets to( I forgot what) if someone called in and gave the right movie this song came on. I called but was to late. I knew what movie as soon as he said it because I grew up on this movie
As much as I despised Tommy, this scene always makes me sad. Wonderfully orchestrated and brilliantly acted. But has a forlorn sadness to it. The music is perfect.
He sees the room is empty and realizes that there isn't anyone there waiting to swear him in as a made man...they're just going to kill him. But it's the empty room that clues him in.
never again can I listen to this song without seeing the disturbing, yet incendiary shots by none other than the brilliant Scorsese. Nothing short of one of the greatest films of all time

looks like he wont be getting the papers, getting the papers
Martin Scorsese is a GENIUS with regard combine music and cinema. Scenes like the ending of Taxi Driver, the intro of Raging Bull, Goodfellas Layla, Casino's The House of Rising Sun (sick or no fucking sick you knew people were going to get clipped), Wolf of Wall Street's Mrs Robinson, were simply perfect.
They are masterpieces.
It funny though. He never gave you the idea that these where bad guys. Still a great movie.
No they're not, jesus. He makes the same movie over and over.
@@pnut3844able Come on man, the themes might be similar but each individual one is a well put together film with great acting, some would consider them masterpieces and I wouldn't disagree on a few, certainly Goodfellas anyway.
I think its funny that someone who had the balls to say some movies aren't even cinema (Scorcese) gets so much credit for cool 'kill scenes' and a reliance on violence, pop music and shocking people throughout his career to create his "masterpieces". It's a cheap trick using violence, music and a sudden shift to the macabre to create a quote 'masterpiece' ask Quentin. Not masterpieces folks. We all like cool violence that is all. It's a cheap trick just like we like comic book movies.
It was registered in his mothers name...
Greatest MISSING scene from GoodFellas: Tommy's mother hears the news of her son's death.
Sicilian women know what's coming before their sons do. It's the Sicilian Way.
@@texaswunderkind whatever.
Everytime I hear this song I can't help but think of that pepto pink Cadillac

"They fuckin' whacked him!"
I was working as a dishwasher when I was in high school. We would listen to 103.5 BOB FM on a radio in the kitchen. This song came on and the Dj offered tickets to( I forgot what) if someone called in and gave the right movie this song came on. I called but was to late. I knew what movie as soon as he said it because I grew up on this movie
One of the best films of all time!!
" they even shot them in their new Cadillac, so that their mom couldn't even drive it to their funeral"
One of the greatest scenes in America cinema history! I couldn't think of a better song to use then "Layla". Fu$^ing epic!
Jimmy went straight nuts after the Lufthansa thing.
As much as I despised Tommy, this scene always makes me sad. Wonderfully orchestrated and brilliantly acted. But has a forlorn sadness to it. The music is perfect.
Scorsese movies always had the perfect music for the right scenes.
Why would it make you sad? Tommy was the biggest piece of shit in that movie. He got off FAR too easy.
Karma.. in goodfellas he beats Billy to death in casino billy beats him to death with a bat..no shinebox.
@@kennethmorris8593 (join me on the chorus) "it's the Cirrrrrrcle of Life...."
@@kennethmorris8593 Wow, a "shinebox" reference when something involves the mafia. I haven't heard that in 5 minutes. That was very original there.
"When they found carrbone, he was frozen so stiff it took 2 days to thaw him out for the autopsy".
He sees the room is empty and realizes that there isn't anyone there waiting to swear him in as a made man...they're just going to kill him. But it's the empty room that clues him in.
And Louis Epolito wishes he never wrote that f***ing book!
Tommy didn’t respect the rules. It was his own doing.
The minute they started finding bodies..one would think someone would be at the police station in 5 minutes. Did they think they weren't next?
I’d be on the next bus to North Dakota.
You cut it just before Jimmy starts smashing the telephone 📞 in the booth, one of the best scenes in the movie.
He cared so much about his best friend, Tommy.
It was between the phone companies, and we had to sit still and take it. It was real Bell shit.
I love the pink Cadillac they never bother taking the Price tag off.
Years ago people used to leave those on a brand new car for a while.
never again can I listen to this song without seeing the disturbing, yet incendiary shots by none other than the brilliant Scorsese. Nothing short of one of the greatest films of all time
Martin Scorsese's mom: *says goodbye to Tommy*
Martin Scorsese's dad: *whacks Tommy*
this is what we need to do to all the corrupt politicians TODAY !!
@@user-otzlixr Politicians are responsible for far worse than what you saw in this video
Absolutely! Dems and Rinos alike.
@@Alex.ActingandVO actually, the deplorable politicians you support are orders of magnitude more corrupt than the ones you despise. you are so blinkered and morally defective you are incapable of distinguishing between corruption and partisan affiliation.
@@Alex.ActingandVO how about that scumbag liar trump !
Live by the sword, die by the sword
"When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff that it took them three days to thaw him out for the autopsy."
Fun fact, they never actually, til this day, found the first guys body.
"No Honor Among Thieves"
They called him Frankie Two Days because it took them two days to thaw him out for the autopsy, for the autopsy
I was 11 years old, the first time I saw this movie and I froze when I saw Tommy get shot dead… but, in my mind, I was like “well, he was evil, so he got what he deserved”…
Happy ending, they get to keep the car after all!
Carbone never had the makings of a Varsity Goodfella! 🤣🤣
WHOP
Couldn't of happened to a Nicer Guy....
