About Movie
Goodfellas (stylized as GoodFellas) is a 1990 biographical crime film directed by Martin Scorsese, written by Nicholas Pileggi and Scorsese, and produced by Irwin Winkler. The 1985 nonfiction book by Pileggi entitled Wiseguy is converted into a film.
The film covers the narrative of Henry Hill’s rise and fall as a mobster and his family from 1955 to 1980. Robert De Niro appears. Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino also star.
Before filming, he initially titled the film Wise Guy but changed it to Goodfellas with co-writer and producer Robert Pileggi. Pileggi provided De Niro, Pesci, and Liotta with study materials to properly prepare for their roles in the film.
Pesci asserts that improvisation and ad-libbing originated during Scorsese’s rehearsals when the actors were free to do anything they pleased. The director transcribed these sessions and utilized his favorite lines to construct a reworked script from which the performers worked throughout the shooting process.
Movie Plot
In 1955, in his Italian-American working-class Brooklyn neighborhood, young Henry Hill became captivated by the criminal underground and the influence of the Mafia. Jimmy “the Gent,” an Irish-American truck hijacker and gangster, is one of Paulie Cicero’s closest friends, along with Tommy DeVito, an additional juvenile offender.
Henry begins as Jimmy’s fence but quickly progresses to more serious offenses. In the 1960s, their nights at the Copacabana nightclub were filled with sex with women. The Jewish woman Henry is in a relationship with is first worried about his illegal activities. Then, against her family’s misgivings, she marries Henry despite their disapproval.
