In Part 2 of my 3-part exploration of the brilliance, humor, and bravura filmmaking of Marty Scorcese's 'Goodfellas', I talk about iconic scenes from the film's first half, including:
The Bamboo Lounge Crew Introduction scene with Pete The Killer, Freddie No-Nose, and Jimmy Two Times.
The Jimmy/Henry "I'm a clown" scene.
The Copa Entrance scene.
The Bruce beat-down scene.
Morrie's Wigs
The Billy Batts Shinebox scene.
Tommy's Mom's House.
The Spider sequences.
This brings us to the halfway point of the film, and the Spider killing represents the turning point, away from the idolization of gangster gods and deathly into the dark heart of the reality of low-level mob-guy life.
In Part 3, we'll cover the rest of the film's scenes, including the stupendous extended cocaine sequences.
