Also had to remove his eye because it was ruptured like a water balloon and use a bone graft from the crest of his hip to give him a new cheekbone.

    • @lucydog3376
      @lucydog3376 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      They were pretty empty threats. I think the guy just wanted to hurl abuse at him but if they really wanted to kill him they had every opportunity to do it, he was a pretty easy guy to find. They were pretty serious about killing him for a few years after he ratted but after a while they just gave up, everyone he got in trouble were dead or back out or never getting out and nobody left really cared enough to bother to hit him. Mikey Franzese was even in prison with Henry and their was an active contract on him for any mob member to kill him on sight but Mikey didn't care enough to do it, he actually made friend with Henry instead.

    Prison for a mobster was like an involuntary vacation. Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia was described as one of the most hellish prisons in the U.S. (and inspired the horror game The Suffering). When Al Capone was convicted of tax evasion he was sentenced there, but his room was dolled up to the nines. It had furniture, rugs, and a fancy radio. Regular cells had nothing but a bed, four concrete walls and a little hole in the ceiling for light.

    Another great crime drama film to check out that features both Ray liotta & Robert DeNiro, along with Sylvester Stallone, Kathy Moriarty, Robert Patrick, Annabella Sciorra, Michael Rapaport, Janeane Garofalo, Noah Emmerich and Harvey Keitel is the 1997 film called COP LAND...(directed by James Mangold - the director of Logan, The Wolverine, Walk The Line, Girl Interrupted, Ford v Ferrari and the upcoming Indiana Jones 5 movie)....I recommend watching the director's cut instead of the theatrical version of COP LAND, it is slightly longer and has several extra character moments which were cut out of the theatrical version due to making the film run a little shorter. The director's cut is a much better improvement over the great theatrical version. The director's cut takes a great film and makes it even greater.
    Y'all would be pleasantly surprised by that film. It is very underrated (and it is also one of my most personal faves)....

    In real life, the Tommy character (who was actually quite tall in reality) allegedly tried to rape Karen, and Karen was having an affair with Paulie and told him, and Paulie sold Tommy out to the other mobsters (Batts belonged to a different mob family than Paulie).
    The Lufthansa heist was in the news a few years ago as it was alleged that a mob boss was involved and that was part of the reason the money wasn't fairly split, but there wasn't enough evidence.
    Jimmy was even more of an asshole in real life- the stories of him include chopping up his wife's annoying ex with an axe, and locking children in refrigerators when shaking down their parents.
    Despite this omissions, Henry Hill said that the movie was "90-95% accurate" and true to what happened- although, he isn't the most reliable narrator (eg. he implies he never personally killed anyone in the movie, but he is actually suspected of killing two or three people in real life).
    Sociopaths and psychopaths are different. Sociopaths are usually the product of a bad upbringing (Socio-) and are more emotional and volatile; psychopaths are usually born (Psycho-) and are more cold and calculating. Tommy and Jimmy actually represent a good example of the typical differences (there are other definitions of both terms, but those are the original).
    Pesci won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this movie- he also gave one of the shortest acceptance speeches in Academy history ("This is a great privilege; thank you") because he honestly didn't believe he was going to win and hadn't prepared anything.

    There is a universal truth to what you said about the Spider situation. The only way to handle somebody like Tommy is to not be around them because no matter what you do or say or don't do or say you will always be wrong.

    Not only is it based on a true story, but the attorney at the end is playing himself. Also, they were so worried that if the real Henry Hill didnt like the movie, he was going to kill all of them

    I love this movie, it's in my top 10 favorite movies of all time.
    First time I saw it I also came away kind of in shock. I didn't know if I liked it or not. But every time I rewatch it I keep liking it more. Its rewatch value is 100%.
    My favorite scene is the Copacabana scene, walking in the back, through the kitchen, into the main floor all in one take. Beautiful scene!
    Also love the introduction of all the guys with their nicknames scene and the "am I a clown to amuse you?" scene that followed.
    Also the prison dinner scene.
    I just love this whole damn movie!
    On a different subject, Sunday night someone set off fireworks what felt like right in front of my house. They were BIG fireworks too, the kind you see in a show.
    My poor dog was still shivering and nervous a couple hours later. She's all good now though.

    I think the structure of the movie is interesting. As a kid he 'always wanted to be a gangster'. The next part of the movie shows us why, he's living an exciting and lucrative life. The foundation of it all, the desire for money and power, corrupts things. We see this in the last part of the movie as he ignores Paulie's instructions and gets deep into drug dealing. That triggers his downfall. And the icing on the cake is he rats out his supposed 'friends'. These same friends would have killed him without a second thought if they could have, and he rats them out just as easily. His kid's eye perspective on what it meant to be gangster was just as clueless as you'd expect a kid's understanding of it to be. In the end he winds up a 'schnook' basically meaning he realizes somehow, someway despite all he did to avoid it, he's become his dad.

    As it says at the end of the “Wiseguys” (the book this was based on), Henry Hill proved himself the ultimate wiseguy.
    That is to say: he was capable of turning on everyone he had ever been friends/partners with to save himself, taking up and living a (relatively) normal and safe life, and managed to rob their associates of the chance of whacking him in revenge.

    MY mum WHEN she watched this film had a giggle at the wife with the gun in the bed scene, although my mums' memory ended better than the scene, she said it reminded her of one of the fights with her first husband . He was an abusive alcoholic and used to beat her, this was in the early 70s . One night he came home and started on her, and she snapped and said that he better kill her because once he was asleep he wouldn't hurt her again , to say that this made him think twice is and understatement, he apparently locked himself in the bathroom, so he was safe to sleep lol . My MUM is only 5ft3 but she could be scary when she lost it lol . She left his arse a few months later, and he drank himself to death .

    The cute little old lady playing Tommy's mother was Martin Scorsese's mother Catherine and the two little girls with Karen on the prison visit to see Henry were Lorraine Bracco's real daughters. One of them is Stella Keitel (Harvey Keitel being her father). Catherine Scorsese also appears in Scorsese's "Casino" and in "The Godfather Part III".

    The real Henry Hill died in 2012 of natural causes. He outlived everyone in this movie except for Karen, who's still alive today. In the late 1990s-early 2000s Hill was a guest on the Howard Stern show many times, and purported mafia members would call in to the show and threaten him. He pretty much told them all to f off. You might be able to find those interviews with Howard on youtube or somewhere. Pretty good stuff.

I guess if something seems real to me it has more authenticity.
