Why did Jimmy kill Carbone? He was one of the wise guys, wasn't he?

He was a low level faggot, definitely not a made guy.

He didn't want to share.

Yeah his death made no sense. Plus they were friends in godfather part2.

When I first watch Goodfellas, I didn't know that the mafia has hierarchy or there are "made" guys. I always thought Jimmy was a high-ranking member in the mafia and not in associate as I found out later.

This
He was completely expendable and Jimmy was a paranoid fuck who wanted to tie up loose ends.

>greed
>paranoia

he killed everybody who fucked up

guess Carbone must've fucked up in some way and Jimmy just didnt want to have that around him.

could've been forgetting to pay a fucking parking ticket.

>guess Carbone must've fucked up in some way
did you watch the movie

Yeah i watched the movie.

several times

you know the movie is based on real life right?

then you know that Carbone's girl bought a $20k mink coat directly after the heist and Jimmy kicked him out of the bar

are italians white?

more important, when all these guys saw what happened to maury and few others, why didn't they gtfo or rat, because everything is better than getting whacked.

the latest info says tommy desimone got whacked by jimmy burke

forgot about that.

i remembered the fat dude bought a car i thought he was the one who bought the coat too.

Basic human instinct like
>it probably won't happen to me, i'm not a moron like maury

there was no frankie carbone irl. it was based on angelo sepe

Henry literally says it, "it made him sick to turn money over to the guys who helped him steal it, he'd rather whack them."
Basically Jimmy was greedy.

but doesn't whacking cost money? like, you gotta pay your henchemen to do dirty work

Probably less than sharing a couple of million with morons.
You can literally pay a couple of niggers or wannabe wiseguys a few thousand dollars to do the hit

Not really. I assume he and Tommy were the ones doing the whacking so essentially each were just gaining a bigger share for each guy they knocked off. I don't think they were outsourcing it.

He didn't make the coffee to-go.

I love little touches like this in Scorsese films.
"What are you doing? It's a fucking joke."

so, how many times did tommy shoot stacks? 4 or 6?

I noticed this too. The first time he shoots stacks, Carbone is standing in the doorway watching but the second shot he isnt. Not really a inconsistency but just Scorcese and his unique directing.

carbone is just one thing. but in real times he shoots him 4 times (1 + 3 off-screen) and in the slomo replay you see 5 shots.
>Scorcese and his unique directing
it's called continuity errors

>there was no frankie carbone irl. it was based on angelo sepe

good job

It was in his mother's name though
