Started watching Goodfellas the other day, What an amazing film. From start to finish your on the edge of your seat especially when Joe Pesci is on one of his vicious rants. The most some what scary rant was about a quater to half way into the film where Pesci is told he is a "funny guy" and he just snaps. Then causing a very sudden akward silence upon fellow "Fellas". Pesci then carrys on to ask questions such as "Do i amuse you? I am i funny to you like a clown uh!" The reply then being very akward. Then making the scene very dramatic and great for the viewer.
Another great factor about Goodfellas is the brutality of some of the scenes such as when the main characters girlfriend is being picked on by the bloke over the road and as cool as the main character is he simply walks over and pulls his pistol out then buldgens the bloke with the butt. Simple yet effective.
Back on the the great Pesci, and another of his brutal scenes. This scene is the scene were Pesci walks into the main characters bar, and one of Pesci's "friends" are there. This friend starts "busting Pesci's balls" over when Pesci used to shine shoes and Pesci just shuts him up and shrugs it off. Then the friend says "Go get your shoe shine box" then Pesci goes on a rage out and kicks the living shit out of this guy.
The story to this film is a moderatly good, yet fairly predictable. I think that the story to this is more for just shootin' and blowing stuff up the way alot of people like films. So if you watch this film hoping for an amazing in-depth story its not for you just enjoy the shoot outs and the heists.
This being a quick little review, I have to summarise Goodfellas is an excellent film and if you have'nt seen it it is a must see! If you're into Action and Shooting this is a great film to sit down and see!!!!
