Goodfellas - definition

A film that is verry overhyped and overated. Refers to a film that you have high expectations for but come out of it thouroughly dissapointed because the plotline was weak and the charachters were flat. Goodfellas demonstrates the worst in society and their ability to change any situation in their favour through organized crime only to be brought crumbling down by the 'family' that raised you and which you depend on. The film is cool up to about one hour in.

Scarface owns Goodfellas because it represents the pusuit of an ideal. Goodfellas is a story about a man who screws up his life, his wives, and his kids lives by handling sloppy business and getting caught.
