Goodfellas: Difference between revisions

* [[Crazy Jealous Guy]]: Tommy is seen telling his girlfriend not to talk to any men while he goes to the other side of the room, and she comments that he gets so jealous he would kill her for looking at anyone else.

* [[Damn, It Feels Good to Be a Gangster!]]: The film pulls no punches at showing the dizzying highs as well as the horrible lows of the gangster lifestyle.

* [[Deconstruction]]: Of the gangster film. [[Rooting for the Empire|It]] [[Misaimed Fandom|didn't]] [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing|take]].

* [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]]: Despite the fact that the movie [[Deconstruction|deconstructs]] many standard gangster film tropes and has something of a [[Downer Ending]], it's still considered one of the coolest depictions of the Mafia ever put on film - by members of the Mafia themselves, even. The gangster that DeNiro's character was based on was reportedly ''thrilled'' such a great actor was portraying him, and kept trying to get in touch with DeNiro ''from prison'' to give him pointers. Similarly, the real Henry Hill wrecked his witness protection because he couldn't resist bragging about the movie.
