What kind of revolutionary style did Goodfellas bring to gangster movies?

Scorsese says the spirit of the film is a "street documentary."

The movie begins in 1970. From there, the story travels back to Henry Hill's (Ray Liotta) childhood in the mid-1950s, and then moves forward in chronological order to the 1980s. In a tense survival situation where anyone could be killed at any time, what leaves an impression on us is Henry's silly laugh, Jimmy's (Robert De Niro) indescribable face, and Tommy's (Joe Pesci). ) has a lot of spots like a mad dog. By the way, director Masayuki Tominaga used Henry's wife Karen in the movie `` Dynamite Graffiti '' (18) to portray Akira Suei's wife (Atsuko Maeda), who is affected by her life with her husband who works in the erotic magazine industry. - Apparently inspired by Hill (Lorraine Bracco). Then, countless people, including giants and sharks, appear on the screen and pass by, with the unlucky ones losing their lives and leaving the frame one after another.

Scorsese himself spoke about the directorial style he used for the film in an interview titled ``The spirit of Goodfellas is documentary.''

"Anyway, it's a documentary in spirit. You could say it's the kind of thing you would create if you followed these people for 20 to 25 years with a 16mm camera."

"This film is a mosaic, a tapestry, with faces constantly coming and going."

``I like ``The The Godfather The Godfather II '' (74) better than the first ``The Godfather.''I often say that ``Part II'' can be compared to an epic poem like ``The Death of King Arthur.'' I think I can. My films are more like street documentaries." (From Scorsese on Scorsese , edited by David Thompson and Ian Christie, translated by Takaharu Miyamoto, published by Film Art. First published in FILM COMMENT, 1990. (September/October issue).

I think this shift from epic poetry (The Godfather) to street documentaries (Goodfellas) is similar to Toei's yakuza films, which turn from chivalry films to true stories. However, although it is also in the true-story style, unlike director Kinji Fukasaku's `` Battle Without Humanity '' (1973), which has a violent intensity, ``Goodfellas'' is neatly made and has a pop and cool feel. His perspective is like observing an insect from a certain distance, observing the struggle for survival and behavioral habits of gangsters, and it is also like a sketch of the landscape of an era permeated by a sense of impermanence.
