GoodFellas

Everything was so impactful, the narrative, despite what people say is that I love the drop from the high life of crime to the low life of being witness protection or in prison. It shows how fast it can all end life and lifestyle, as well as it doesn't glorify the way crime is, it shows the mob for what they are. I love the themes of how easy and fast death can come by. Through the death stare, you can feel every bit of how he made up his mind. As well as the scene where Tommy presses him for Henry, saying he is funny. Even if you knew he was joking, even if you've seen it before, you are holding your breath till the last moment because you are so sure Henry is dead soon. You have to love the The Great Train Robbery scene us as an audience are whacked from the life. What I appreciate most about quick zoom-ins and cuts it draws your attention so intently and accurately, you see exactly what Scorsese wants you to. The soundtrack goes from romanticization of crime through robbing to hard reality of selling drugs.
