That is a correct statement

I recently had the pleasure of watching the tv-edited version. It was amazing.

Casino isn't very good at all.

Neither is Goodfellas, but it is better than Casino

Scorsese's 90s mob crap is very average, would rather watch the Aviator or Gangs of New York

Show me all the blueprints

>liking thieving-wop flicks of any kind

Casino the movie was better than the book. Wiseguys the book was better than Goodfellas.

If you want to hear the best commentary track ever, find the Henry Hill and the Prosecutor track on goodfellas. It's simply amazing to listen to and how things really happened compared to how they did the movie from.

I haven't seen either.

Leo was excellent in this film, but was shocked at how young he looks when I just looked at this scene on youtube.

Casino has better scenes, but Goodfellas is a better overall film.

isn't the exact same film with a slightly different coat of paint

i mean joe pesci plays the exact same character with the exact same arc

>casino and goodfellas are good movies
that's unironically my pleb filter, the same people will say the godfather is boring or pretend to like it to hide they're a pleb

casino would have been better if they cut out Sharon "Proto-Jlaw" Stone from the entire movie. shes such cancer

>you can't enjoy both

Godfather 1 and 2 are cinematic masterpieces looking at the high levels of the Italian mob in its Golden years (1) and at the beginning of its decline (2), while Goodfellas is a well put together film looking at the street level italian mob in the middle of its decline.

This means that people who disagree with that statement are the plebs, right? Because I agree.

This plus Sopranos showing the final decline, it's such a perfect trifecta from 3 different visionaries.

Godfather 1 & 2 are pre-Apalachin, Goodfellas is post. Still waiting for an Apalachin era movie worth watching. Maybe Sugartime, with Turturro. I'd love a really good, solid movie on Anastasia, the real godfather. After his death, it was all downhill to RICO.

Casino would have been a better movie if it was actually about the fucking casino instead of his marriage problems.

>Casino is better than Goodfellas

>TDK is good
>Arrivaal is good

Eh, they're romanticization of what's basically white trash. I grew up around that shit, the only thing the movies got wrong is they're all not ugly enough.

His marriage problems are what brought him down, though. She caused all of it. One fucking pill head twat ended Vegas for the mob. That part is true.

Casino has a much better re-watch value in my opinion. The pace is much faster and I think it has more interesting characters. It's more lively as well. Probably because it's set in Vegas and it's always hot and sunny. It also looks much better in HD.

I can't tell the difference between the movies until I see Pescis hair anyway so fuck you

>Italians
>White

Okay. It might be realistic and what actually happened, but not entertaining.

absolute STATE of the plebfellas fans in here.

Speaking of Pesci, I loved when HD started to be a thing, you could see the tape on his head in My Cousin Vinny, to make him look younger.

The godfather is more about family than crime you pleb

>MUH GANGSTER FILMS
Convincing the 56% that gangster flicks are deep dramatic kino was the biggest trick of 20th century. They're all garbage. They're about as deep as heist flicks, nobody's pretending those are cinematic masterpieces

Gangs of New York is trash its not comparable at all.

Go get your fucking shinebox

Both good movies but the women are the weakest part. Only woman who got handled right was nicky's wife because she didn't give a fuck.

Embarrassing opinion

Who was in the wrong here?

That's a true statement though.

The Departed is the only good movie he did in the 00s

did they do it over Santoro skimming the pile, or because he was fucking Rothstein's wife?

Because he was an asshole causing trouble for everybody else

They had enough. They had enough! How much more were they gonna take?

I forget. why his brother also? cant remember what he did

They had to use his brother's fake promotion to lure him to the cornfield...the Old Guys Back Home probably couldn't have cared less about Dominic either way, but if they were gonna take Nicky out in such a fashion, they couldn't very well let his brother walk away after witnessing it. tldr: he was collateral damage.

i aint watching that wop slop

It was the chaos he caused.

In the movie they said that the leaders were old fashioned and would not look kindly on fucking another man's wife, but I think it's better to think that the real problem was fucking with their cash flow. In reality, fucking another man's girl wasn't a capital offense in the mob - most everyone did it. And its inclusion in a line in the movie to me was simply acknowledging that Remo and a very small minority looked down on that sort of thing to make the audience feel included.

The thing about artistic liberty is that it's sometimes necessary to prevent the audience from being taken out of the moment or experience as a whole. A lot of effective filmmaking has nods to a moral audience either through blatant moralfaggotry personified in a single individual or parsing out a quality trait to a person here and there to make the environment less horrible overall. A little lie about a taboo against infidelity was necessary to put a human edge to everything, to make you care about Rothstein to some degree and not write him off as a robot.
