Although an old movie to write about, however tonight it made me enjoy it - that's what made me sit down at 2 AM in the night, on East coast & write something on GOODFELLAS . The moment I sat for watching Goodfellas, I got stuck to the screen ... I couldn't get up !
An unrealistic, however fast & entertaining movie. Maybe this stuff really happens somewhere - I don't know the world well !

• Murderers come with smiles.
• A very fast moving movie, filled with lot of violence, however the whole actor group - the heroes, take all the events very casually, lightly & in a funny, friendly way .
• A lot of movie runs with background voices of Henry (Ray Liotta - a young mobster) & Karen (his wife).
• The marriage scene is cast with the background voices in a funny way with almost all the guests named as Paul or Pete & all ladies - Marie !
• Jimmy (Rober De Niro) is one of the very stable minded & senior gangster & another big man is Paulie. Henry starts as a small worker for the New York mafia & grows up in the policing & killing people.
  
• Whoever couldn't go to the police, came to these gangsters for protection.
• The movie is filled with comedy scenes & dialogues - the prision sequence, the gambling games at the bar.
  
• Tommy is shown as a maniac who crazily kills few people unreasonably (at least seems to me).
