Goodfellas_Genre

Goodfellas Genre The 1990 Martin Scorese motion picture Goodfellas is a classic movie about the world of organized crime. Goodfellas is based on the true life novel “Wise Guy” by Nicolas Pileggi. The film starts off in New York City in 1955. It is about the life of a poor Irish-Italian boy named Henry Hill. Henry Hill is an aspiring criminal who through the movie grows deeper and deeper into the Gambino family crime crew. After living the good life with all of the luxuries, Henry is forced later in the film to testify against his former partners and lands him and his family into the FBI witness protection program. The genre of this film can be classified into several different categories from crime, drama, and simply gangster or mob movie. The recurring character types are very predictable. Like in most mafia movies I have seen, the characters are very much the same. The characters are always Italian and their top priority is always family. In all of the mob groups there is always someone who is designated as “the boss”.
