    Amazing directing. The first half of the movie you feel the glamor of Mob life. The smoothness of the scenes like this, the happy doo-woppy soundtrack that induces nostalgia for the good old days, etc. The second half (especially the long scene where Henry is making dinner for his family, stowing away the guns, and getting his package ready) is fragmented and accompanied by frenzied rock music. It's like the first half is drinking the champagne, and the second half is the hangover.

      It’s also interesting in the end after Henry is bailed out. When Henry is talking to Jimmy, Pauly, talking to the FBI dude, the court, the new home, etc., there’s no music. It’s like Henry sobering up to the realities of mob life.

      Technically, no-because the movie's garnered far more attention for not winning than if it did. More people study it and analyse it far more than if had won awards..
      I like Dances with Wolves, I do. But when Goodfellas comes on, all my plans go out the window. Doesn't quite happen with Dances With Wolves.
      Plus, as others noted, the Oscars aren't worth anything- Harvey Weinstein proved you could play the system.

      +Wilson Gozal Ironically it would have been less if it weren't for the actor who played the comedian (who appears at the end of the video), as he kept forgetting his lines. Even though it wasn't integral to the scene, and the hardest part was already done, Scorsese wanted the whole Copacabana scene as one shot with no cutting away.

    • @Tara0819
      @Tara0819 8 років тому +15

      +0mega7000 Sheesh, he didn't have much to remember with the lines in this clip! I heard directors get so frustrated. Can't blame 'em. I'm a huge fan of the late, great Sharon Tate. Such a beautiful woman. But I've heard she was a terrible actress, and it took about 70 takes per scene due to her being so timid. She infuriated directors. Explains why Roman Polanski chose Mia Farrow for Rosemary's Baby instead of his wife. He said he didn't want it to look like nepotism, but Mia was by far the outstanding actress. Off-topic, I know. But looks only go so far. Any director would take a Lorraine Bracco, Meryl Streep, or Mia Farrow over Sharon Tate or Raquel Welch. It really hurt Sharon that they stuck her in a bikini for a whole movie. She used to say, "Sexy little me", crying. Hey, you either have it or you don't. Scorsese knew exactly what he was doing.

    The long takes in this film are the best I've ever seen. There may be other films that have even more going on and such, but the way that Scorcese used the long takes to perfectly communicate the nature of this life is absolutely brilliant. This is filmmaking with a purpose. Every technical aspect of the film is there for thematic and narrative purpose, expressing essential elements of the characters, the world they inhabit, and the life they live. They aren't gimmicky long takes, there just to impress people. They were done for practical and incredibly effective reasons that only strengthen the film as a whole and communicate really important information to the audience. Martin Scorsece is one of the truly legendary filmmakers, and this demonstrates his knowledge and skills so perfectly.
    Everything about this film works together in such harmony to show the audience such an authentic and compelling look into the lives of those we're seeing on screen here. Landmark film

Fun fact, Martin Scorsese told the writers to writer "Cream" at that scene because he already saw it in his head.

    Its cool that he can walk through the kitchen like that but in the end, it's depressing because that's literally the classiest thing he can do and the greatest amount of respect he aspires to. It's like being behind the stage at an amusement park because you work there, it seems cool at the time but ultimately its pathetic how much time you spend there and how limited your life is. It's like Pacino explains in Donnie Brasco, they pay you enough to keep you happy, you aren't saving anything but you feel like a big man.

    This might be my favorite scene from my favorite movie (Goodfellas). This is a brilliant shot, done brilliantly, and fits into the timeline of the story, moves the narrative forward, and sums up the movie *all at the same time*. PERFECTION. Absolute PERFECTION.

    The first half of this film glorified the mafia showcasing the glam and beauty that comes with being a wise guy, it’s almost like an intoxicated dream that you wake up from realizing it was all too good to be true. The second half of the film aggressively wakes you up in a sober state and shows you just how raw, cold, and disgusting the mob life can be in such a painful eye awakening way. Sometimes with these types of movies, Bronx Tale included I can’t help but feel Scorsese just tries to grab us by the ears and scream in our faces “DONT JOIN THE MOB”.

      That is the beauty of this film...it shows the glamorous beginning of this lifestyle and the ugly reality that catches up after years of this lifestyle, the rise and fall! Kinda like Schindler's list of Oskar Schindler living a luxurious lifestyle while the war for the Germans was going well and being completely broke as defeat loomed!

    This long take is so well done, so memorable, so appropriate that I can't imagine how it should be done differently. Cuts during the walk sequence would have killed the chaotic energy the back house segment conveyed. By the time the shot reached the restaurant, the flow had been established so well that adding cuts to that part might kill the momentum.

    very memorable shot from the movie. did anyone else notice the detour through the kitchen starting at 1:00 was unncessary? They turn in, then end up right back where they entered, then go left into the club.
