Widely considered one of the best movies of all time

scorcese was heavily inspired by scarface (the 80s one) and in every one of his assembly-line mob flicks he just retells that story with less glamor, less intensity, and more greasy ugly dagos

all scorcese films are propaganda trying to convince us that the italian race has intelligence and interiority equivalent to whites, but we know that isn't true

That's the only thing interesting about these movies though. Seeing someone innocent get inducted into the life, seeing their day to day goings on, seeing how they handle friends and enemies, seeing the wealth the pizzaz, and eventually seeing the dark side where they conduct hits and eventually get turned on and die or turn snitch. Best part of Goodfellas is the first 2/3rds

How does showing a character eating spaghetti reveal their innocence to the audience?

I'm not talking about the food, but the general fluff they add showing the day to day life. Since you were obviously exaggerating with how much runtime you attribute to eating in the movies.

Pretty much. Casino is the most egregious. It is quite literally just Goodfellas with different actors.

>Goodfellas is unironically a great movie
>Penn is unironically Reddit incarnate, wearing a lolbertarian mask
What point are you trying to make?

Some of the best parts of Sopranos are the boys just sitting around eating and bullshitting

scorsese will be remembered as one of the greats alongside kubrick and kurosawa you fucking contrarian plebs

They played that movie along with casino ad nauseam on basic cable like 10+ years ago, why are zoomers so slow? Nobody gives a shit about those movies anymore.

even if not for his overwhelmingly good filmography, his dedication of years of his life to the discovery, preservation and amplification of international film will see him recognized by artists for decades to come

It helped to pioneer the same formula that a bunch of shows successfully used in the so-called recent "Golden Age of Television". Basically, violent antiheroes doing exciting things to a semi-ironic pop soundtrack, with a thin veneer of "this is artistic because it is slightly more deep than capeshit" layered over it. Nothing against Scorcese by the way, I respect his work, I just don't get the love that this movie gets. Same with Mann's Heat, by the way.

It's not a crime movie, retard. It's a low level thug mafia movie.

mafia movies are a subset of crime movies

zoomers
although some of them are okay and not gay

>mafia movies are a subset of crime movies
? Is Analyze This a crime movie too? No. Just because a movie has crime in it doesn't make it a crime movie.

Yeah and don't even get me started on The Last Temptation of Christ. Yet another boring mafia flick set in the 50s...
Yikes!

Zoomers are seething because deep down they know the media they have is garbage. MCU, nu Wars, no real great films or tv shows, no comedies, shitty mumble rap music, etc. They know they have no culture so all they can do is shit on the superior past.

my take on the propaganda that scorcese crime flicks pushes is
>the crime life is... LE BAD!
>but it's still better than yours, pleb!
