Goodfella's

The movie that i watched was Goodfella's. It was directed by Martin Scorsese. The major actors in this movie were Robert De Niro and Ray Liotta. The main characters in this film were Karen, a Jewish woman who marries an Italian man named Henery Hill and he was in the mob. The other characters were Paul and Tommy and Jimmy. They all worked together. The main conflict is that all the men in the mob want to do everything they need to do to make money without getting into trouble with the police. They do end up in jail throughout the movie though. They get out of jail eventually and Henry finds a way to fix his problems with the mob and keep his family safe.
The story of the movie is realistic to me because people in the mob have a hard time staying safe from the police and other people in the mob that are trying to kill them. It seems like they would also have a hard time keeping their family safe because it would be an easy way to get revenge on someone in the mob by hurting their family. The dialouge in this movie was sometimes amusing and it was also the way people talk in real life.
A theme that i saw in this movie was death. The people in the mob killed a lot of people because they made them mad or did something wrong. They didn't give people a second chance and didn't care what excuses people had, they just killed them anyways. In this movie it was easy to believe that the actors really were the characters. They were all very serious and it fit them because they were all kind of scary looking people.
The sets in this film were in places like bars and places where they stole money from and mostly in their homes or in jail. The men who were in the mob always dressed up in suits. The women were dressed up too throughout the movie and wore a lot of makeup. These things are significant because it shows that they are kind of flashy people and they are well off from being in the mob. It also shows their culture. The music in this movie made it seem more realistic because it went along with the movie and the culture of the characters.
The first thing that i noticed about the movie was that there was a lot of violence in it. I liked it right away because it was interesting and there was a lot going on and i liked the violence. My impression lasted throughout the movie because they kept killing people. I would recommend this movie to people who liked movies with a lot of violence or movies about the mob.
