One of the most perceptive and cognizant reactions to Goodfellas I've seen!! Way to catch on to all the subtleties that Scorsese is such a master of weaving into the film!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this one!!🤙🏻
Geez bro thirsty much?
You're a very smart person. The questions you ask 1/4 into a film are exactly why true filmmakers make great films. 🤘

@@nathanworthington4451 i mean i cant blame him :)
My favorite part is when Henry just walks away from his mother-in-law's house laughing. Just the realism - the early morning light, the way the characters act. Joe Pesci wagging his finger saying, "What's the matter with you, Henry!" is the cherry on top.
Bring back memories sir😅
I've done that before actually lol wasn't as dramatic though
@@AeonAxisProductions I've walked away from my mother-in-law's house laughing too! What a coincidence!
Not gonna lie I wouldn’t stick around for that either
Henry always has that nervous laugh when he’s dealing with Tommy.
"Now go get your fucking shinebox" is the most brutal step off line ever. Me and my brothers say it to each other all the time lol
Billy Batts was not murdered just for insulting the wrong people (I expect he figured that he was untouchable too as he was made and Jimmy & Tommy were not). Jimmy Conway (the person Robert De Niro's character was based on) had taken over Batts' rackets while Batts was in prison and was not interested in handing them back now that Batts was back on the street,

@@Redplant99 Yeah, but Tommy killed him for the insult
The "How am I funny" scene was a complete ad lib by Pesci. That's why Liotta looked so shocked, and, confused by it. He really didn't know what to say. It's also a big part of why Pesci won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar that year.
Personally, I think the fact that Ray Liotta wasn't even nominated for an Oscar for this is CRIMINAL.
William "Billy Batts" Betvena was not only a made man, he was a close friend of John Gotti, who was already quickly on the rise in the Gambino family. It's rumored he was actually the one to pull the trigger in Tommy DeSimone's execution.
The premise of it was talked about between Scorcese, Liotta and Pesci but Scorcese told them to just wing it. Also, none of the guys sitting around them, some of them actual mobsters, had a clue about what was happening. They all thought it was real and not part the movie. Great scene.
Not quite true. Pesci and Liotta rehearsed the scene. The other actors in the scene didn't know about it as it wasn't in the script - so there reactions are genuine.
It was partially scripted. The guys around them including real mob guys had no clue of the improv part of that scene. Real reactions were captured. Great direction.
the tracking shot of Henry & Karen walking into the club is absolutely iconic. one shot, 3 minutes long. one of the longest & most famous shots in film.
Also the ppl outside in line rushed inside as soon as they were out of frame to pack in the restaurant
Whats interesting is real mobsters like Michael Franzese , have said this scene was fiction . That Henry Hill would not have been taken special threw the back of the club . As he was not a made member in the mob . In reality he was just a low level associate .
One interesting thing that most people don't notice - they go in a loop in the kitchen, and exit the same way they came in - in reality the whole trip through the kitchen would have been pointless. If you look, just as they turn to go into the kitchen, there's a firehose on the wall, slightly ahead of them to their right - when they exit, they turn left and walk past that same firehose, now on their left.
@@SJ-ty5rw Of course it was fictional. However I'm sure there were several Mobsters who did receive that kind of treatment. Also Henry was more of a mid level associate or he never would have been privy to the information he had.
This is honestly one of the best movies I've ever seen. So many great lines.
Great reaction as always.

An essential film in the American true crime genre. Awesome direction and performances. Great reaction! Thank you!
@Excalibur Yklz Casino, American Gangster
@Excalibur Yklz Great crime films based on true stories and characters… In Cold Blood, Badlands, Bonnie & Clyde, Dog Day Afternoon, Casino, Mississippi Burning, Donnie Brasco… and some classic fictional films: Godfather I & II, Chinatown, The French Connection, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Se7en, A Prophet, Papillon, True Romance… so many.
@Excalibur Yklz American Me, Blood In Blood Out, if you want the MM angle
Another great thing about this movie is that it’s based on a real story and pretty accurate. They changed a few things in the timeline and changed a few names but overall pretty accurate.
Henry and Jimmy couldn’t be made guys in the Mob because Jimmy was Irish and Henry was half Italian and half Irish. You had to be 100% Italian in those days.
Jimmy was still highly respected despite being non-Italian because he made a lot of money for the mob. Most agree he would’ve been a boss or capo if he was Italian
The real Tommy DiSimone was even more crazy in real life. Henry Hill said in his autobiography that when Tommy bought a new gun and wanted to try it out, he shot a random person on the street. It wasn't anyone Henry or the gang knew, just some person from the neighborhood who was out for a walk.
Hill also mentioned that when he was around him he lived in fear of doing or saying something that would anger Tommy.
Fuckin yikes. What a psycho
"Goodfeathers" was part of The Animaniacs, a 90's cartoon series. Goodfeathers (a parody of this movie) was fall down hilarious, especially the "God Pigeon."
Good to see you again! Been a while! I love this movie. I especially love the scene where they enter the club through the kitchen, and how they did it with one continuous shot. Also, Henry Hill is his real name. Most of the other characters names are changed.
This is one of those movies that never gets old. It's told in such a amazing way you can't help but get sucked into the story and enjoy it.
I absolutely enjoy your reactions. It’s entertaining and fun to watch films with you. Love your commentary. Great reaction. Keep it up ❤
Girl, you'll love CASINO!!!
Spider getting shot was a real thing...family still pissed about it...
I love your initial analysis of the term 'Goodfellas', because I think it's meant to be an ironic title, they use it themselves, but they're all bad people and over the course of the movie we learn that they pretty much don't have anyone's back but their own, eventually.

I actually like Karen's narration, it was different and you didn't expect a 2nd narration, plus we also get some of her side of the story too with her time with Henry. Maybe there was an end narration from her, but it was cut out due to time limit? Jimmy cried over Tommy's death, it's obvious - he smashed the phone and even tipped the whole phone booth in frustration. He was both angry and sad because they killed one of his best and closest friends and there was nothing he could do about it, if he did he would end up dead too. You really have a beautiful smile, Nox, love your beautiful smile =)
Great reaction, thank you.
Henry Hill was his real name. Jimmy Conway in real life was Jimmy Burke, and Paul Cicero in real life was Paul Vario.
And Tommy DeVito was Tommy DeSimone.

One of the longest tracking shots in history before digital. Wonderfully done! 🎬🎥
Tommy's mother's painting had no symbolism in it. It's actually a painting of a picture of an Irish conservationist that was in an old issue of National Geographic back in the 70's.
I think you're right about the dog painting. It reminded me of the dog fight in the Iraqi desert at the beginning of 'The Exorcist" .I think representing the two faces of man. Good Vs. Evil. Great reaction!😀

They kept their mouths shut so Rocco didn't know what was going on. - Boondock Saints, great movie! ;) Second one was great too.
One of the best things of this film is how the time, the passage of time, is narrated so feverishly by Scorsese, and how the chaos and the violence is spread by the characters through it.
One of the harshest travels-from-glory-to-decadence in the History of movies

An absolute top tier movie. You have to watch a Bronx Tale next.
When I was just in Middle School, I had a paper route, and I remember reading about the Lufthansa heist while folding my newspapers. Years later, while traveling on business, I bought "Wise Guys" at the airport, the book this movie is based on. It's a small world.
Henry Hill was his real name. He got kick out of witness protection for selling coke in Seattle. He was a big time drunk who used to call & come in studio on the Howard stern show.
when henry was in jail his wife was having an affair with Paulie and Tommy wanted in, but she said no so he beat her up so Paulie alerted the Gambinos that Tommy killed Billie Pats and that's why he got killed
Henry Hill is the main character's real name but they changed some of the other names in the film. The story is based off of Henry's book called Wiseguy
yes, and Goodfella's was originally going to be called Wiseguys but because there was a TV show already named Wiseguy they changed the title to not get it confused with the show
The book was actually written by Nicholas Pileggi, based on interviews with Henry Hill.
Yes, it is real.
Yes, his name is Henry Hill.
Yes, the end updates are real.
Yes, Scorsese did take some theatrical liberties in the story telling but almost everything you saw in the movie did happen as you saw it happen.
Really enjoyed your insights throughout the movie.
For a completely different take on the Mob genre I'd suggest Married to the Mob which has a great central performance by Michelle Pfeiffer.
Keep up the good work 🌹
Fun fact...When they stop to get the knife from Tommy's mother, that's actually Martin Scorsese's mom!
She's in a few of his movies. She's in a deleted scene in casino
and the guy who makes the sauce in prison is Scorsese's dad
And the scene is largely improvised. Scorsese told his mother, “your character’s son comes over at night with his friends, and you make them dinner.” He didn’t tell her that they had an almost dead person in the trunk, because her character wouldn’t have known.
This film gets better with every watch. I still notice new things each time.

First time finding this channel. You are a breath of fresh air. Love your commentary, and you are a cutie patootie to boot.
I fell in love with your laugh. Everytime i heard it, it brought a smile to my face. Thank you 😁 I really enjoyed watching this reaction with you. I felt like i was watching a movie with a good friend. I'm definitely going to like and subscribe.
Watched Goodfellas in the theater and ever since. Classic. Really enjoyed watching it again with this beautiful woman reacting to it.
One of my favorite movies. You know I enjoy your reactions. You laugh at certain scenes I would laugh at while other reactors take the scene too seriously. It’s like your sense of humor is great!

Martin Scorsese is a fantastic director. My favorite film of his is Bringing Out the Dead(1999). A dark, haunting look into the life of a paramedic, played incredibly by Nicolas Cage. Other actors include; Ving Rhames, John Goodman, Patricia Arquette and Marc Anthony.
This is one of my favorite films of all time because of the way Scorsese explores the humanity of these seemingly unfeeling men
Greetings from New Orleans..digging the reactions and commentary
Thanks for watching! 🙂
BEST MOB MOVIE EVER and DeNiro,Pesci and Ray Liotta are top tier actors
awesome reaction! You're one of those "I gotta figure out why they did that" then analyze it. So cool. You said your in Cali..completely matches your personality. I used to live with an OC beauty in Escondido. I always played "I Love LA" when getting off the road and going to her house. My ex and I lived in SF but I like SoCal in my later years. lol
This is possible the best review I've seen of this movie, well done.
Incredible film! Would love to see your reaction to Casino. Goodfellas tends to overshadow it, but Casino is just as good, in fact it's even more epic. Casino actually makes a fantastic companion film to Goodfellas.
Congratulations you’re the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your package.
Plus...Don Rickles!!
Elite reaction for an elite movie.
"As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster."
Fun Fact: After the premiere, Henry Hill went around and revealed his true identity. In response, the government kicked him out of the Federal Witness Protection Program.
Good Slap Fact: When Paulie confronts Henry after Hill's released from prison, Paul Sorvino improvised the slap to Ray Liotta's face, hence Liotta's reaction.
Funny How Fact: According to Henry Hill, whose life was the basis for the book and film, Joe Pesci's portrayal of Tommy DeSimone was 90-99% accurate, with one notable exception; the real Tommy DeSimone was massively built.
Henry was kicked out of witness protection because he kept getting caught buying and selling drugs. According to people who knew him, he always had a problem with drinking, and itnonly got worse when he also got hooked on coke.
One of my favourite films, glad you enjoyed it.

Casino is the film to see after this with Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone. I think it came out in 1993. Goodfellas is a supreme film still standing up after 34 years. RIP to Ray Liotta and Paul Sorvino. Henry Hill passed away in 2012.
If you want to watch the greatest tv show of all time, I strongly recommend watching THE SOPRANOS. A lot of the actors in this movie are in it and it is routinely sited as the greatest television show ever. It's just a great portrait of the mob in modern times with incredible characters, writing, drama, acting, and great humor as well.
In the 1990s I was drunk at the Feast of San Genaro in NYC and hugged the actor who played Billy Bats (Frank Vincent). Scared the crap of him. He jumped into a limo and sped off.
Enjoyed you're reaction, all the best to you.
Henry and Karen's daughters when they were little were Lorraine Bracco's real daughters. One of them is Stella Keitel, daughter of Harvey Keitel.

OMG, some trivia I didn't know. I always forget they were together way back.
I remember the hair piece commercial on tV as a kid growing up in NJ.
Frickin' FANTASTIC commentary on this FANTASTIC movie. Now that's a movie, am I right? You exclaiming emphatically: "THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD!"......priceless. I remember coming out of the theater and feeling as if I had just eaten a full meal, if you know what I mean! I know everyone says the same thing: you flip the channels, this movie is on, you can't turn the channel! You just pick it up from where ever it is! Most of us have seen this movie fifty million times, lol. And a movie this great gives a reactor like you LOTS to work with! Your edit was spectacularly concise. Your reactions were EXACTLY like mine, and the audience I saw it with (a packed movie theatre). It's practically a comedy! A few years later, they basically made "Goodfellas Goes to Vegas" in the movie "Casino" which is ALSO excellent (although I give "Goodfellas" the edge). Scorsese and De Niro have a string of essential films: The King Of Comedy, Cape Fear, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets. Their most recent collaboration, "The Irishman", was outstanding.....but I'd watch those others first./THANK YOU, MISS NOX!!!!! Movies don't come much better than this one.....and neither do reaction videos!!!! :D
In mythology two heads looking opposite directions represents change. After this night, the life of these men will never been the same again.
You should do a little research on the real story and the movie. A lot of interesting tidbits to be had. (One example: The Fed who talked them into witness protection in the movie was played by the actual Fed who handled the real Henry & Karen.)
I think the point of the ending is Henry would almost RATHER be dead than living the "life" of an average schnook. To him, it isn't like being alive at all.
If you liked this, you'll love Casino. Joe Pesci is even scarier in that movie. Casino is my personal favorite of the 2.
Donnie Brasco is another goot "mob movie" it does really good showing the difference in the outside looking in and on the inside looking out..
2 random facts.. notice how when Henry is a kid and in the courtroom scene he's being told about no snitching. He's sniffing while he's doing this. He has no allergy issues prior to.... (foreshadowing) 2nd Ashanti pulled a scene from this movie with Terrance Howard on the video for "foolish". Side note : I'm like the big book of completely useless information lol. Its a real book that has a few volumes 😂
Henry Hill actually lived until 2012. In latter years he appeared on the Howard Stern Show frequently.

Definitely a whirlwind story! I loved it! ♥

When Paulie slaps Henry after telling him not to get into drugs,it was for real. Paul Sorvino felt Ray Liotta was only half listening so he jolted him with a slap. That's why Henry acted surprised.
You definitely like you a troublemaker 😂😂 great reaction.
Tommy's Mother and Vinnie (The guy cooking the spaghetti sauce in prison) are played by Martin Scorsese's parents.
The lady playing Tommy's mother at the meal where he takes the knife was Scorsese's real mom.
The tell me what's so funny about me part was a adlib between Joe, Ray, and the director knew about it too. But the rest of the crew didn't know about it. That's why it gets so quiet even the Xtras in the background are paying attention to it. Than when everyone is laughing even the xtras are laughing at it.
Joe Pesci was killing it in the Gangsters Movie Roles after "Goodfellas" he was also in "Casino"(1995) portraying the life of a Real Gangster from Chicago that ruled Las Vegas Mob in the 70's called Anthony "The Ant" Spilotro a must watch also
Loved this reaction!!!❤🎉😂

That shinebox scene is the most realist s**t that you'll ever see. That's real...
No joke...
The flowing camera make everything feel dreamlike in the beginning of the story. However, as time goes on- The camera work is loosely the same, making it feel like more of a nightmare.
Ashanti’s Music Video Foolish Was Portrayed From This Movie
My Favorite Movie of All Time!!!!!!!!
Every single time I hear Layla by Derick and the Dominoes, I can't help thing of when everyone gets wacked! One of my all-time favorite movies, all the scenes with houses were filmed in my home town of New Rochelle, NY. I also remember my Dad listening to WINS on the ride to school when I was a kid, so when Henry was in the shower, that sound before they announce the Lufthansa heist brings me back home every time...
Solid reaction!
"Casino" next and then "The Departed"!!
Love The Departed!! Casino’s definitely on my list 😁
Another Flawless Performance by Joe Pesci is "Casino"(1995) you definetly have to give that movie a check
Excellent movie Nox! 😁
Nicholas Pileggi, who co-wrote the original book and screenplay, did his research alongside his wife, Nora Ephron (writer of When Harry Met Sally and writer/director of Sleepless in Seattle, amongst others). She used her research to write a pseudo-sequel, a comic reimagining of Henry's life in Witness Protection. The resulting film is called My Blue Heaven, with Steve Martin in the Ray Liotta part. It actually came out before Goodfellas. It ain't great.
Congratulations you’re the lucky winner of the ongoing giveaway text me on telegram to claim your package.
Another crazy thing about the story of Henry Hill...Nicholas Pileggi, the writer who adapted Henry Hill's book "Wiseguy" into the screenplay for Goodfellas...was married to writer/director Nora Ephron (When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless In Seattle) at the time and she decided to take the part of the book _after_ Henry goes into the witness protection program and loosely adapted that into the comedy movie, My Blue Heaven.
In that movie though they did change the character of Henry Hill's name. And the actor that played him? Steve Martin.
And both Goodfellas and My Blue Heaven came out the same year.

Titles by Saul Bass who did titles for Psycho.
Awesome reaction to a classic movie.👍 I would suggest you "Heat" (1995), another masterpiece mafia movie with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
Oh please tell us you haven’t watched Heat yet. An absolute masterpiece
Heat is not a mafia movie. Great movie, but not a mafia movie.
You. Tube CRUSH! Not sure why I didn't get the notification for this vid, but as always SO spot on!! So insightful, SO spot on...... *crush intensifies*
Great reaction lass! I'm sure others have told you already but if you loved this movie you should totally watch Casino, you'll love it I'm sure!
This was my introduction to mob movies...YES, before The Godfather. "Is that funny to you? Am I here to amuse you?"
I still haven’t fully seen The Godfather! Only some parts of it 😅
@@NoxSoSubtle Honestly...I think I liked this better because it's more stylized but it couldn't have been without the O.G. Your reactions are some of my favorite, have you ever seen "Blow?" I would love for you to check out my songs and let me know what you think. Godspeed ❤
Based on a true story , Henry Hill left the protection program & went on the Howard Stern Radio program . Spiders sister called in & begged him to tell where spiders body was , so the family could bury him . Hill said you know , even if I knew I couldn’t tell you without implicating myself in whatever happened to him .
RIP Henry
I'm semi embarrassed how many times I've seen this movie
Lol don’t be! You’d be surprised by how many terrible movies I continue to watch over and over. This one is actually worth rewatching 😛
@@NoxSoSubtle Oh God I do the same. Horrible movies no one should watch once and I can quote them. Shameful.
@@NoxSoSubtle you've hit the nail on the head with the paranoia comments with this movie, p.s don't be afraid to react to shlocky/bad movies, they have their own charm about them, hell some of them are fixtures in pop culture like Flash Gordon (1980).
Also I like how you look at things with context unlike other people you don't just say what's wrong or right, but take things into consideration and look at it from a more realistic view which nice to see for once🍻
Mafia ranks are from lowest to highest associates, soldiers, made men, captains, under boss and boss.
“Made men” officially start once you get initiated as a soldier, technically all official members of the mafia are made men, only associates are not

What I like about all these "Goodfellas" reactions is how the reactors who do not cuss start dropping f-bombs.
Bahahahaha! She was saying "NOOO! DONT DO IT!" as soon as spider said "go F yourself Tommy!" Bahahahaha she knew tommy was the wrong one!
In love with you at the end of the clip.. Keep up the god work.
his name was henry Hill, some names were changed like Paulie Cicero was Paulie Vario, Jimmy Conway was Jimmy Burke
The Copa scene was Henry at his peak. Brilliant filmmaking by Scorsese.
This and casino go hand and hand as goat mob movies. Good reaction.
you seriously need to watch the sister piece to this 'casino' now...
The woman whi plays Tommy's mother is Martin Scorsese's mother.
