itvcentre This film is the continuation of a whole series of films about organized crime. A young man from a poor family begins to serve the local mafia. Starting with the execution of small orders, punishing the enemies of mafia, he becomes the organizer of large schemes for selling alcohol and cigarettes. He becomes one of the leaders of local mafia group.In addition to the general romanticism inherent in all the feature films about the mafia, this project reveals the existing problems within the mafia society. The authors concentrate viewer's attention on the problem of loyalty and betrayal, price of friendship, role of women and goals of creating organized criminal groups. In addition, the film highlights the inevitability of tough struggles, clashes and reckoning for crimes. A deeper motive is the experience of the main characters. Despite the deep storyline, the film is easily perceived, has unobtrusive everyday colors and a cheerful composition.Summary: Definitely, the film deserves attention of the audience. Guys from the street who "climb the career ladder," living by their own laws - the Code of Honor, and, at the same time, have kind heart - always capture imagination and are an example for imitation. At a minimum, deep down.
throwingicecubesatthesun I love this movie, everybody played a perfect part and they should never make a sequel; wait for the ending.
hunterryanbelkin The writing, acting, humor, and direction all build on the story. The character study or Henry Hill as portrayed by Ray Leota in this film is still one of the best in cinema history. Phenomenal, not only as a gangster/crime film, but as a piece of art.
koldsemyon Good fellas , these are excellent brave guys, owners of life, so to say the right to have. They live as they see fit and are not burdened with absurd social norms of morality and law. The aesthetics of criminals fascinate me and make me live as I want, and not someone else. This film perfectly describes the life to which one should strive. The moral of the film: it's better to burn bright and quick than dull and long. Nietzsche, my beloved Nietzsche, I also think of the film as a glory.
