Same plot line as in movie Scarface 1932 (1983 remake is more fictional) , based loosely on Al Capone , start small , make a fortune and go down in flames . US has 14 cosa nostra families, latest that ended this year was Milwaukee Mafia (Balistrieri family) in year 2000 US had still 25 mafia families. Only ones made movies from are New York City five families and Chicago outfit.(Al Capone) . Godfather movie is more fictional, they had a real mafia enforcer on set making sure they dont insult anyone and he got role in the movie too.
Theres a comedy movie that essentially picks up where the end of this film ends. Its called My Blue Heaven, and its about Henry Hill being in the witness relocation program. It stars Steve Martin, Rick Moranis, and Joan Cusack. Its tons of fun, and Steve Martin is hilarious in it. Came out the same year as Goodfellas. I think it came out just a few weeks or so prior to Goodfellas.
From basically the first minute of the reaction I kept talking to Kamilla like she could hear me. She said something like “it’s a love story” and I said “nope! It’s definitely not a love story” and then the preoccupation with the fact that he was cheating on Karen had me thinking that she may not enjoy the movie but she managed to still enjoy it. As for the white Christmas tree and really tacky stuff like that from the 1970’s well it was everywhere and my parents did have some of it but thankfully no Christmas trees that weren’t green.
People keep saying that. This whole thing is Henry's bullshit version of what happened. He's known to have lied and embellished a lot of this. And not for the sake of privacy
You are beautiful. I enjoy watching your reaction to one of my favorite movies of all time but I find myself constantly saying “she is beautiful!” Wow. Your significant other is very lucky. God bless.
@Centane Hi Kamilla, you were talking about the difference between the prisons in Norway and the USA. For 69 homicides, Breivik got (just?) 21 years (ouch!). What Europeans (and most Americans) don't understand about the US is that we have so much crime because we have so many criminals. People in low crime countries seem to forget that they are not immune to evil. 21 years and then "preventative detention"?! That's a flowery euphemism for what we in the US call "life in prison without the possibility of parole." Love your show and your accent.
On the DVD commentary (remember those?) Henry Hill is asked what his first response was when he heard Tommy was dead...without skipping a beat he said "relieved"...even though they were friends, Tommy scared everyone. Henry Hill was his real name. In case you wanted to google/wikipedia them, Jimmy Conway's real name was Jimmy Burke, Paul Cicero was really Paul Vario and Tommy was Tommy DiSimone.
Lorraine Bracco was a real babe back then. The FBI agent in the film was the real FBI agent who talked to the real Henry Hill. Henry cheated on Karen with Janice and then he cheated on Janice with Sandy. The real-life Tommy was even worse than the one in the movie. Supposedly he caused so much trouble that the real-life Paulie ordered the hit on him.
10:09 - this scene came from an experience Joe Pesci had when having dinner with "Wise Guys"...he basically said the Wiseguy was funny and he suddenly switched on Pesci! It was tense but he turned out to be a joke like in the film!
1:46 - IMHO - THE BEST INTRO TO A MOVIE EVER! It shows what you're in for before the movie has even begun! Martin Scorsese didn't want it to show the typical rise and fall from the get-go...so he decided to show the event that eventually led to his downfall...
Paulie died in a minimum security prison up on a hill in Fort Worth, TX, and to my surprise we played City-League flag-football and soccer on fields at the bottom of that hill. When I connected the two, I was shocked, knowing I had been that close to the main guy in one of my favorite movies.
Martin Scorsese's admiration for gangsters comes through in his movies like this one. His gangsters have real problems you can identify with and you are meant to sympathize with them. Francis Ford Coppola has complete and utter contempt for gangsters. You are meant to see them as hypocrites who comport themselves as businessmen in suits but who are slowly losing their souls until there's no recognizable humanity left in them. You are not meant to sympathize with them.
It never ceases to amaze me how many women get mad at movie character guys sleeping with other women but have no issue with them killing people for money. 🤔
@@TheBestPill-no2xp I've always liked Casino better, maybe because it was the first one of the two I saw, but I must admit that Goodfellas has grown on me through the years due to its more light-hearted moments. Both are amazing movies, regardless.
@@georgezee5173 No doubt they are great. And great for the same reasons. *My bias comes from the dislike of viewers living vicariously through the criminal characters, and "rooting for the bad guy" for mob movies.* From the Godfather, to Scarface, to Breaking Bad, it's disturbing to me how easily a writer can get a viewer to root for a violent criminal. Goodfellas is the worst because the very story is about a guy lamenting that he couldn't be a criminal anymore. Worse than that, it's based on mostly true accounts (although I accuse the real Henry Hill of telling the story in such a way that makes him look more innocent than he actually was). In contrast, the degenerate characters in Casino all get exactly what they earned.
The real Paulie actually had an affair with Karen while Henry was in jail. They were just awful people who always betrayed each other, which is why it’s so funny that cooperating with the cops to save your neck was so frowned upon to say the least.
19:00 I don't know about Italians, but in Spain it was always the tradition to name every woman "María + a second name". My mother and my two oldest sisters have María as their first name although nobody calls them María at all, only the second name. If, for instance, a woman is called María Isabel, the usual thing for her is to go by Isabel only. I could see Italian people doing something similar.
The names like Paul and Marie are an Italian Catholic thing. Many boys are named after the apostle Paul, etc; the girls, after the Mother Mary (Marie).
Henry was laughing when Jimmy was strangling Maury because on Maury’s commercial he said his wigs wouldn’t come off even in hurricane winds or jumping in a pool.
He was laughing because it was a wardrobe malfunction, and he thought there would be another take. Even Morrie was laughing until DeNiro corralled the dialog.
Here's the deal: Tommy, Jimmy, and Henry Hill were not MADE MEMBERS of a Mafia Family, they were what is known as ASSOCIATES. They were linked to a particular Mafia Family, but were not members of it. As such they had to get their crew chief's blessing for any illegal activity they were planning, in their case Paul Cicero, and after they scored they kicked a percentage of their ill gotten gains back up to Paulie. For this tribute they got protection from any other Mafia Family and access to whatever "juice" their family had lined up, i.e. lawyers, corrupt judges and politicians. They lured Tommy to a certain place at a certain time with the promise that he was going to be "made", i.e. inducted into the Family as a full fledged member, but he was never going to be made, they just lured him there to kill him quietly because of his killing of a made member, Billy Bats, "and a lot of other things". Also, Paulie told them all no dealing in drugs, the chances of being caught were too high and the penalties for a conviction were too severe. Henry was in deep shit with Paulie when he got busted with a bunch of cocaine in his girlfriend's apartment because he did what Paulie told him not to do. Also, Henry was in trouble with Jimmy because Jimmy didn't want Paulie finding out he was in the drug racket with Henry. It would have been a death sentence for Jimmy as well. Also also, it always tickles me when a woman reacts to this movie and they rock along pulling for the bad guy till, "WAIT! WHAT?? HE'S CHEATING ON HIS WIFE?!?!" Ummmm, yeah, these are bad people. These are not "consider the consequences" kinda folks, they're not the "save up my money till I can afford to buy something nice" kinda folks, these are not "be true to your word" kinda folks, these are "see, want, TAKE" kinda folks, they are "the rules were meant for others" kinda folks. Delayed gratification is not their style. That's why when the shit went down Henry was broke and needed that batch of cocaine. He spent the money he got from his various criminal activities as fast as it came in. Having a wife AND a mistress is just another element of their "I want it all now" kinda personality. In the Mafia having a mistress is so common that there is even a special name for the side girlfriend: a goomar or goomah (the spellings differ but the job description is the same). And don't feel TOO bad for Karen Hill, she was just as involved in criminal activity as was her husband. They were a team. A FUCKED UP team, but a team none the less.
When I was in college in the early 90s, there was a pizza place in town that every once in a while had cigarettes available, one brand at a time. Sometimes all Camels. Sometimes all Marlboros. Whatever fell off the truck. Everyone in State College knew Crazy Carmine.
The Hill family was first hidden in Omaha, Nebraska. He was soon selling dope outside the gate to Offutt Air Force Base, which is a bit concerning as it's the headquarters for what was then known as the Strategic Air Command, in charge of all the nukes. He got made in Omaha and the family was moved somewhere down south before sundown. Much later, after he'd been kicked out of the program, He wound up in, of all places, North Platte, Nebraska. I knew a guy there who knew him pretty well and he said Hill was full of it. It wasn't long before he got busted for dealing there. You can find some vids on TH-cam detailing his later life.
He was trolling the marina del Rey area for a while. My friends cousin owned a pizza place there and would deal with him often. Saw him get kicked out trying to sell a painting. He also said the man is full of shit
I'm not a huge book reader but i must recommend Wiseguy which is the source for this. it adds a LOT of important context to some of the odd details of the movie.
After reading 'The Lords of Chaos' and seeing how the Norwegian justice system treated Varg Vikernes and his time in a Norwegian prison, I knew if I was going to commit a crime, it was going to be in Norway.
Most Italian women equate food with love. If you refuse to eat then you break their hearts. That is why Tommy's mother was so persistent about making them something to eat and why they took the time to eat what she made. Italian women can also be very feisty. It is usually not good to make them mad no matter what their age. LOL
The most insane part to me....when I saw this movie all those years ago in the theater....was that was and is a true story. And it's said that Joe Pesci had to play down his performance as the real Tommy DiSimone was much more violent.
You don't see Robert Deniro as a gangster? You are so young and inexperienced. Deniro is one of the most famous "gangster actors" there ever has been. He won his first Oscar playing a gangster and became famous playing them.
American Cosa Nostra had some strange rules when it came to women. Real Cosa Nostra soldier Michael Franzese's sister who was 'not' part of the Cosa Nostra had an affair & touching another man's woman is death. They told Michael Franzese, kill him. He resisted, she's not part of 'Our Family'. They did it for him.
One reason I love this movie is 90% of it took place within 20 miles of where I live on Long Island. I worked with a woman that was one of John Gottis gfs when she was in her 20s. She actually has a tiny role in this movie. She said the gf thing was accurate. All of the mobsters had gfs and wives. It was almost expected.
Great reaction. You should look the guys up. Tommy was treated nicely in their depiction of him. He really was seriously dangerous - much more so than what they showed here. All of them were absolutely bad. Great movie though.
My father lived that kind of life; and my mother was fine with it. The thing that kills me about Henry is that he wasn't honest with Karen; in that life those are the rules. Your wife is home with the kids, that's your family, those are the people you love, and those are the people that matter. The deal though is you choose a wife carefully because she's you're one and only. You don't lie to her about other women when/if anything happens. You don't have to tell your wife everything about business, it's up to you where you want to draw the line but at the end of the day it's not just your business, it's everybody you work with. But you, your wife, your family, that's your business, your responsibility and you don't gaslight her on that; not ever. - Also, great reaction!
It's funny hearing someone say they never expected Robert De Niro to play a evil gangster lol. Oh to be young. Also Karen was no saint, she was cheating on Henry with his boss Paulie the whole damn time.
@@Centane Oh yeah, you can find a lot of very interesting interviews with former mob guys who talk about the truth behind what was happening in the movie. Like Henry was a small time nobody and half this movie is mostly made up according to Michael Franzese (one of the guys named in early in the movie) and Sammy the Bull. Still great movie and love your reactions!
Not just one of my favourite movies, also one of my favourite movie soundtracks! Agree with other comments, the movie Casino is a MUST!! Also has an incredible soundtrack 😀
Hello Kamilla!😊 Yes, The Godfather is a trilogy with the third film being made many years later.😉 "Casino" (1995) is like Goodfellas in Vegas. It is also based on a true story, from the same director (Martin Scorsese), and several actors from this film return in different roles.😉 You should check it out sometime when you are in the mood for another good gangster film. The driver Stacks is a cameo by Samuel L. Jackson.😉 Tommy killed Morris with an ice pick which was a common weapon in the mob. They were never going to make Tommy, it was just a setup.😉Pauly was an old time Italian gangster, drugs & prostitution were forbidden. It was very important to maintain a stable family in the mob. A disgruntled wife could snitch to the cops. The character known as Jimmy Conway here also died in prison. Henry & Karen were kicked out of witness protection (WITSEC) after several drug violations. Henry Hill was very active on the Internet years prior to his death, after all his enemies had died. The film is based on the book "Wiseguy" which is the real name these mob guys were known by. Great reactions to this classic gangster film, Kamilla!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻P.S. - You look very nice in your festive outfit!🌹
Godfather is a totally different vibe. It isn't based on a true story but is based on reality of the American Mafia in the 40's and 50's. It's based on the novel by Mario Puzo who was an academic scholar who studied Italian American culture. He grew up in a neighborhood populated with Mafia guys. After a modest career writing scholarly books, he decided to write a sensational novel based on what he had seen growing up and on Italian American culture in order to be able to leave some money to his children. It was a huge hit, being the first look inside the Mafia that most Americans saw. It really set the tone for future films about organized crime. In fact, it's been said that real Mafia guys started emulating what they saw in the movie!
12:07 ..."The amount of F-bombs already, is gonna be rough editing this"... Try with "Casino", from the same director... It has the world record of being the movie with the biggest amount of F-bombs dropped per minute...
So, I'm just sitting here sick at home and, hey! -- up pops this reaction! Thank you, Kamilla, for brightening my day for about an hour watching what is arguably Martin Scorsese's greatest film. If you found this one interesting, you'll likely find "Casino" interesting as well - another Scorsese gangster film based on a true story. Again, great reaction!
I was 12 when this came out. I actually bought the soundtrack on cassette I liked the music so much. I’ve always liked music from 50-60s. I remember buying the Time Life CD collection Rock n Roll Oldies 1954-1969. Great music.
Godfather: the godfather is fact + fiction, its "faction" as some would say....the godfather 1 & 2 were the first modern gangster movies, its 100% as much as a masterpiece as goodfellas but a TOTALLY different style, wheras (insanely enuf) goodfellas relies on a little comedy & super fast modern pacing (goodfellas came out in 1989 & set the standard for 90's movies, SO many imitators of goodfellas in the 90's) the godfather films are more classical, super heavy & dark & dramatic, but the gravitas & epicness of it will make ur head spin...godfather 2 really effected me when i saw it at age 22 in 1998, idk how to describe it, its inspiring, it has this good vs evil dynamic to it...its just epic....whereas goodfellas is more about just a bunch of low lifes, lmao.
Goodfellas romanticizes criminality, the godfather is about much more than that & has grander themes....its almost like it could be a 500 year old story.
Kamilla. In cosplay as a Tavern girl is just gorgeous. It's a compliment don't freak out.. But her innocence getting through Goodfellas was a great reaction and Yes The Godfather is a franchise. It's Long but has some brutal and special moments. Great Channel. Cheer's Beautiful.x
The guy that is seen explaining the Witness Protection Program to them (around 53:30) is playing himself. He's the actual cop and got to play himsef on film.
You should do The Sopranos. That whole show would keep you busy for a while, and would get a lot of views. One of the greatest television shows ever, and certainly the best on the mafia.
The scene you liked with Tommy's mom, you liked... That was Martin Scorsese's real mother. Almost the whole thing was ad-libbed. He just had the actors join her and pretty much taped what she said and how they reacted.
Martin Scorsese's parents worked w/him from the beginning. His parents have been working w/Robert De Niro & Joe Pesci since "Raging Bull" Working together for 45 years/12 films. (His father: too many onions.) They're old friends & that's one reason Ray Liotta was so quiet.
23:06 - this is typical Wiseguy behaviour..."a wiseguy's always right...even when he's wrong he's right..." this is a quote from Lefty Two Guns in the film Donnie Brasco... The thing is...Billy Batts is a "made man" in the Gambino Family so he can essentially disrespect whoever he wants because he's made... Tommy DeSimone/DeVito is just a thug at this point with no authoritative standing...so even though Billy Batts started the argument, Tommy was technically in the wrong because you're not supposed to disrespect a "made guy" no matted what! That's why Henry came over to Billy Batts to try and smooth things out...
The book *Wiseguy* that the movie is based on goes into even greater detail. If anyone wants to read about the day to day life of a street soldier in La Cosa Nostra *Wiseguy* is one I highly recommend. Edit: Fixed a typo.
Actually the funniest line was delivered by Centane herself when reading the captions at the end: "He won't be "illegible' for parole until............."!😝😝

DO ME!
Sorry...that's inappropriate.
Truthful/hopeful....but inappropriate.
@@jdm1066 you write it's inappropriate but still decide to send it. Interesting
One of the greatest gangster films ever made. RIP Ray Liotta.
Wow...that RIP Ray Liotta just sounds too crazy.....still so unbelievable
*R.I.P* 🙏🏽 *RAY LIOTTA* 🕊️🙏🏽🌹
I also recommend Scorsese's other films Casino, and The Departed. Also two great gangster movies.
Casino is a must see....
"I'm a sucker for a romance." 😆
Was she way off base.
I just wanna make sure i aint kissin Nat King Cole ova heah.
"Go home and get your shine box" my favorite quote and scene
RIP Ray Liotta, And FU DeNiro.
The agent at 53:49 was the actual real agent , who was assigned to the real Henry Hill . They asked him to play himself for the movie .
I always thought that was the coolest little Easter Egg* 👌🏾💯
He's on the DVD commentary with Hill.
It's cool hearing him talk about how it really went down. He acted pretty damn good, too.
Never knew that. Always thought he didn't seem to be a natural actor.
R.I.P Ray Liotta. He have a bunch of great movies. Love him ❤❤

I was looking for this comment, I hope she sees it, it's an interesting follow up for sure.
"My Blue Heaven" is such a fun movie yet it has zero reactions on YT.
If you look up a picture of Henry Hill, you’ll be disappointed. He was a little troll.
Liota casting is kind of ridiculous. Amazing actor and brilliant in this. But seriously? Zero resemblance.
"Tommy is crazy" Yeah, believe it or not, the actor toned him down. The real guy was far crazier. Guy was an absoloute insane psychopath.

They say "The Godfather" depicts mobsters the way they like to see themselves, and "Goodfellas" shows what they're really like.
Dude this whole thing is border line fantasy. Henry Hill is a known liar and was little more than a bagman.

"no issue" 😭 Me saying people are insane and not goodfellas throughout the entire movie btw 😭
The man that is lucky enough to marry you is my hero ;)
Great reaction Centane to a gangster classic Big thumbs up
"Casino" is a great follow up gangster movie. Loosely based on true events. Same director and also starring Robert Deniro and Joe Pesci.
One of the best rags to riches to rags stories told!
I actually think Casino is the superior movie. So real they had to make it _less_ real.

Not loosely based. Casino follows the real story pretty well.
"I didn't know this was gonna be a romance" Be careful what you wish for, lol
That's actually from Derek and the Domino's, the reference from Eric Clapton.
Tommy was actually even more crazy than they portray in the movie
The real Jimmy was also more brutal , and psychotic than he is portrayed as well .
The real Paulie actually had an affair with Karen while Henry was in jail. They were just awful people who always betrayed each other, which is why it’s so funny that cooperating with the cops to save your neck was so frowned upon to say the least.
The little old woman who played Tommy's mom is actually the Director, Martin Scorsese's mom, and the whole scene was almost all improvisation.
@@Shadowfax-1980 It's like school bullies. Everything's on the table but you NEVER tattle!

This has two movies packed in one. It's brutal, funny, and feels real all at the same time. There's no good guys just wise guys living their life.
Day to day life of street soldiers in La Cosa Nostra.
It's one movie: everybody in it is a crap human being
Scorsese IS cinema ❤
Great movie! The single cut, tracking monologue to the camera at the end is legendary!!! 😎

In the Mafia having a mistress is so common that there is even a special name for the side girlfriend: a goomar or goomah (the spellings differ but the job description is the same). And don't feel TOO bad for Karen Hill, she was just as involved in criminal activity as was her husband. They were a team. A FUCKED UP team, but a team none the less.
It was so popular in the UK at the time. They named a pizza after the movie title.
Michael Franzese said Henry Hill embellished his role quite a bit to try and make himself look more important.
When I was in college in the early 90s, there was a pizza place in town that every once in a while had cigarettes available, one brand at a time. Sometimes all Camels. Sometimes all Marlboros. Whatever fell off the truck. Everyone in State College knew Crazy Carmine.
The Hill family was first hidden in Omaha, Nebraska. He was soon selling dope outside the gate to Offutt Air Force Base, which is a bit concerning as it's the headquarters for what was then known as the Strategic Air Command, in charge of all the nukes. He got made in Omaha and the family was moved somewhere down south before sundown.
Much later, after he'd been kicked out of the program, He wound up in, of all places, North Platte, Nebraska. I knew a guy there who knew him pretty well and he said Hill was full of it. It wasn't long before he got busted for dealing there.
You can find some vids on TH-cam detailing his later life.
He was trolling the marina del Rey area for a while. My friends cousin owned a pizza place there and would deal with him often. Saw him get kicked out trying to sell a painting. He also said the man is full of shit
I'm not a huge book reader but i must recommend Wiseguy which is the source for this. it adds a LOT of important context to some of the odd details of the movie.
Centane: "I didn't know this was gonna be a romance".
Me: 😳
After reading 'The Lords of Chaos' and seeing how the Norwegian justice system treated Varg Vikernes and his time in a Norwegian prison, I knew if I was going to commit a crime, it was going to be in Norway.
Good job reacting to one of the greatest! Du gör ett kanonjobb, min internet-vän. Kraaam på dig! 💙🥂
Norway prison is like a summer vacation compared to American prison
Exactly !!
Most Italian women equate food with love.
If you refuse to eat then you break their hearts.
That is why Tommy's mother was so persistent about making them something to eat and why they took the time to eat what she made.
Italian women can also be very feisty.
It is usually not good to make them mad no matter what their age. LOL
She was played by Martin Scorsese's mother and the entire scene was pretty much improvisation.
Idlewild Airport was the former name of JFK Airport. When President Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, the airport was renamed.
The most insane part to me....when I saw this movie all those years ago in the theater....was that was and is a true story. And it's said that Joe Pesci had to play down his performance as the real Tommy DiSimone was much more violent.
You don't see Robert Deniro as a gangster? You are so young and inexperienced. Deniro is one of the most famous "gangster actors" there ever has been. He won his first Oscar playing a gangster and became famous playing them.
Stop glorifying that Hollyweirdo
American Cosa Nostra had some strange rules when it came to women. Real Cosa Nostra soldier Michael Franzese's sister who was 'not' part of the Cosa Nostra had an affair & touching another man's woman is death. They told Michael Franzese, kill him. He resisted, she's not part of 'Our Family'. They did it for him.
Franzese was a Capo.
One reason I love this movie is 90% of it took place within 20 miles of where I live on Long Island.
I worked with a woman that was one of John Gottis gfs when she was in her 20s. She actually has a tiny role in this movie. She said the gf thing was accurate. All of the mobsters had gfs and wives. It was almost expected.
Great reaction. You should look the guys up. Tommy was treated nicely in their depiction of him. He really was seriously dangerous - much more so than what they showed here. All of them were absolutely bad. Great movie though.
My father lived that kind of life; and my mother was fine with it. The thing that kills me about Henry is that he wasn't honest with Karen; in that life those are the rules. Your wife is home with the kids, that's your family, those are the people you love, and those are the people that matter. The deal though is you choose a wife carefully because she's you're one and only. You don't lie to her about other women when/if anything happens. You don't have to tell your wife everything about business, it's up to you where you want to draw the line but at the end of the day it's not just your business, it's everybody you work with. But you, your wife, your family, that's your business, your responsibility and you don't gaslight her on that; not ever. - Also, great reaction!
Another film you might want to try is 'Legend' 2015 Staring Tom Hardy based on two british gangsters in the 50's/60's
inreality it wasn't Goodfella it was Wiseguy
It's funny hearing someone say they never expected Robert De Niro to play a evil gangster lol. Oh to be young. Also Karen was no saint, she was cheating on Henry with his boss Paulie the whole damn time.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
@@Centane Oh yeah, you can find a lot of very interesting interviews with former mob guys who talk about the truth behind what was happening in the movie. Like Henry was a small time nobody and half this movie is mostly made up according to Michael Franzese (one of the guys named in early in the movie) and Sammy the Bull. Still great movie and love your reactions!
Not just one of my favourite movies, also one of my favourite movie soundtracks! Agree with other comments, the movie Casino is a MUST!! Also has an incredible soundtrack 😀
46:00 - Sort of. They made him think he was getting made as a set up so they could kill him. There was no plan to actually promote him.
It’s kind of adorable how excited you got at the first sign of romance haha
Hello Kamilla!😊 Yes, The Godfather is a trilogy with the third film being made many years later.😉 "Casino" (1995) is like Goodfellas in Vegas. It is also based on a true story, from the same director (Martin Scorsese), and several actors from this film return in different roles.😉 You should check it out sometime when you are in the mood for another good gangster film. The driver Stacks is a cameo by Samuel L. Jackson.😉 Tommy killed Morris with an ice pick which was a common weapon in the mob. They were never going to make Tommy, it was just a setup.😉Pauly was an old time Italian gangster, drugs & prostitution were forbidden. It was very important to maintain a stable family in the mob. A disgruntled wife could snitch to the cops. The character known as Jimmy Conway here also died in prison. Henry & Karen were kicked out of witness protection (WITSEC) after several drug violations. Henry Hill was very active on the Internet years prior to his death, after all his enemies had died. The film is based on the book "Wiseguy" which is the real name these mob guys were known by. Great reactions to this classic gangster film, Kamilla!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻P.S. - You look very nice in your festive outfit!🌹
"I didn't know this was gonna be a romance!" lol now that was funny
A toxic romance
"So she (karen) was alright with this??" ....No. She was absolutlely *not* ok with it 🤣😂🤣😂
Godfather is a totally different vibe. It isn't based on a true story but is based on reality of the American Mafia in the 40's and 50's. It's based on the novel by Mario Puzo who was an academic scholar who studied Italian American culture. He grew up in a neighborhood populated with Mafia guys.
After a modest career writing scholarly books, he decided to write a sensational novel based on what he had seen growing up and on Italian American culture in order to be able to leave some money to his children. It was a huge hit, being the first look inside the Mafia that most Americans saw. It really set the tone for future films about organized crime.
In fact, it's been said that real Mafia guys started emulating what they saw in the movie!
12:07 ..."The amount of F-bombs already, is gonna be rough editing this"... Try with "Casino", from the same director... It has the world record of being the movie with the biggest amount of F-bombs dropped per minute...
I thought Scarface held that record? Casino is a great movie.
"I didn't know this was gonna be a romance! How exciting!"
Yeeaaahhhh..... romance.... that's what it is....
So, I'm just sitting here sick at home and, hey! -- up pops this reaction! Thank you, Kamilla, for brightening my day for about an hour watching what is arguably Martin Scorsese's greatest film. If you found this one interesting, you'll likely find "Casino" interesting as well - another Scorsese gangster film based on a true story. Again, great reaction!
I was 12 when this came out. I actually bought the soundtrack on cassette I liked the music so much. I’ve always liked music from 50-60s. I remember buying the Time Life CD collection Rock n Roll Oldies 1954-1969. Great music.
Norway jails look like college campuses that would do nothing to stop lawlessness in America.
This movie is one of the greatest Mafia movies ever created.
yes godfather is based on many events, and situation of the mafia during the 40s through 60s
It was so good watching this with you. Weird fact: I'm related to one of the men (not actors) in this film 😄
Godfather: the godfather is fact + fiction, its "faction" as some would say....the godfather 1 & 2 were the first modern gangster movies, its 100% as much as a masterpiece as goodfellas but a TOTALLY different style, wheras (insanely enuf) goodfellas relies on a little comedy & super fast modern pacing (goodfellas came out in 1989 & set the standard for 90's movies, SO many imitators of goodfellas in the 90's) the godfather films are more classical, super heavy & dark & dramatic, but the gravitas & epicness of it will make ur head spin...godfather 2 really effected me when i saw it at age 22 in 1998, idk how to describe it, its inspiring, it has this good vs evil dynamic to it...its just epic....whereas goodfellas is more about just a bunch of low lifes, lmao.
Goodfellas romanticizes criminality, the godfather is about much more than that & has grander themes....its almost like it could be a 500 year old story.
Great reaction! Gotta watch Casino next!
Kamilla. In cosplay as a Tavern girl is just gorgeous. It's a compliment don't freak out.. But her innocence getting through Goodfellas was a great reaction and Yes The Godfather is a franchise. It's Long but has some brutal and special moments. Great Channel. Cheer's Beautiful.x
That was The actual DA from the real case
Girl, this was such a fun reaction! And you're stunning as always 🩷✌️🫶🏼🌈
I ADORE YOUUUU 🩷🩷🩷
Yes, The Godfather is a franchise. Three films.
The guy that is seen explaining the Witness Protection Program to them (around 53:30) is playing himself. He's the actual cop and got to play himsef on film.
Assistant US Attorney.
You hear about the points we were shaving up in Boston?
Once Upon a Time in America .... is in the same genre and is an all time classic ... robert de niro also is in it
When it comes to Robert De Niro and his gangster duality the film "Analyze This" from 1999 might be worth a watch.
the witness protection guy was really the witness protection guy, not an actor
You should do The Sopranos. That whole show would keep you busy for a while, and would get a lot of views. One of the greatest television shows ever, and certainly the best on the mafia.
The woman playing Tommy's mother is the mother of Martin Scorsese.
2:03. Kamilla: "Oh my God what I've got myself into". 😂😂😂😂. The realisation. Oh I love Kamilla.
You’re a funny guy 🤘🤘
Funny how? Whats so funny about me?!
@@RM-306you know,funny
@@AW11-e4h no i dont know,...
The scene you liked with Tommy's mom, you liked... That was Martin Scorsese's real mother. Almost the whole thing was ad-libbed.
He just had the actors join her and pretty much taped what she said and how they reacted.
Martin Scorsese's parents worked w/him from the beginning. His parents have been working w/Robert De Niro & Joe Pesci since "Raging Bull" Working together for 45 years/12 films. (His father: too many onions.) They're old friends & that's one reason Ray Liotta was so quiet.
23:06 - this is typical Wiseguy behaviour..."a wiseguy's always right...even when he's wrong he's right..." this is a quote from Lefty Two Guns in the film Donnie Brasco...
The thing is...Billy Batts is a "made man" in the Gambino Family so he can essentially disrespect whoever he wants because he's made...
Tommy DeSimone/DeVito is just a thug at this point with no authoritative standing...so even though Billy Batts started the argument, Tommy was technically in the wrong because you're not supposed to disrespect a "made guy" no matted what! That's why Henry came over to Billy Batts to try and smooth things out...
Casino, also staring Robert de Nero and Joe Pesci
The book *Wiseguy* that the movie is based on goes into even greater detail. If anyone wants to read about the day to day life of a street soldier in La Cosa Nostra *Wiseguy* is one I highly recommend.
Edit: Fixed a typo.
Actually the funniest line was delivered by Centane herself when reading the captions at the end: "He won't be "illegible' for parole until............."!😝😝
english is not her first language.
@@zedwpd Wasn't ridiculing her. Thought it was cute.
You should try seeing "Best years of our lives" a late 40's best picture of the year
Another wild movie is Boogie Nights
If you enjoyed this movie, you will love "Casino". It's Martin Scorsese's best film, imo.
