 grew up in Brooklyn, the Irish-Italian Ray Hill (R. Liotta) has only one aspiration: to become a gangster. He succeeds, but will eventually terminate his companions, resigning a gray existence and hidden under a false identity. A film about Italian-American mafia gangster different. With the impassive eye of an anthropologist, from a screenplay written by Nicholas Pileggi and taken from her novel Wise Guys, Scorsese tells the normality of the crime which does not allow even mitigating psychological or social. V'incombe violent death in the most brutal, but in this story of small crime counts of workers' daily lives goodfellas: acts and family rituals, ethnic differences, verbal niceties, the relationship between family and family, how they work, dress, are in the kitchen, laughing. How to "become." It is not a novel, but a clinical report. No happy ending or catharsis. 6 Academy Award nominations, won J. Pesci, actor.
