Goodfellas Analysis (Kabir)

Goodfellas,1990,directed by Martin Scorsese is undoubtedly one of the epics in the genre of gangster movies. this particular movie was targeted at 21-30 year old adult males. i have said this as the certificate and content very much suggest adult issues as well as manly behaviour. in this particular scene, Ray Liotta is shown being wary of police patrolling and searching for him in the form of a helicopter. i was intrigued by this scene very much becuase of the use of point of view, shot/reverse shots. i am definately interested in incorporating these aspects into our text. i feel that this was used cleverly to show the hurried behaviour and edgy feel to the character, as well as this it suits the fact that the character is under the influence of drugs. as well as this the use of diegetic sound is very well placed in order for the scene to seem more real and yet still let the music be a successful accompaniment for the scene.
