Synopsis:
Three decades of life in the mafia as seen through the eyes of Henry Hill.
Review:
Unlike others I believe that this film was the film of the 90's. I mean
get the fuck out of here. This is a "real" mafia film with wise guys everywhere.
I'm not saying that "fiction" isn't good, it's real good shit, but this,
this is a fucking madman.
The acting in this film
is totally natural I gotta tip my hat to Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, and Bobby
D. Those motherfuckers know what time it is. Let's not forget Paul Sorvino
and Lorraine Bracco.
And with all this amazing
acting in front of the camera, who do you think is behind it. That's right,
the best director of the fucking 90's, my man Martin Scorsese. He fucking
put this film together out of spit and polish and he even got his moms
to act in it. Now Dat's what I'm talkin' bout!
I really love the make-up
job they did on Bobby D. You don't even notice him getting older, but
by the end he's an old fuck. I love everything about this film. I've seen
it a hundred times. Every time I start to watch it I have to see the whole
thing. Now the film does have some flaws I'll say that. And I really wish
it wasn't split onto 2 sides but what the fuck this was my third DVD.
It was a long fucking time ago.
Special Features :
It's sad to say that this disc doesn't have any real special features
on it. The trailers were good, one long version and one short version.
The production notes leave me jonesin' for an audio commentary. My man
Scorsese can talk up a storm.
Video:
The picture was great. This is the best way to watch this movie, even
with the flipping. There is on artifacts in sight. Fucking money from
start to finish.
Audio:
Money, fucking money! This film is full of great tunes and the 5.1 track
helps pump it all out. Oh yeah, and all the gunshots sound fucking amazing!
Now for me, this film
is just full of great lines. I really don't want to pick just one. So,
I'll leave a few beauts.
"Now take me to jail!" -Henry Hill
"One day…one day some of the kids from the neighborhood carried my mothers
groceries all the way home. You know why? It was out of respect."
"Oh! You broke your cherry!"
"Eh, you wanna laugh. This prick last week asked me to christen his child!"
"He's treating me like a half-a-fag"
"He's gone, and there's nutin' we can do about it."
I could go on for a couple more pages but you get the point. The film
is fuckin' money. And dat's dat.
