Analytical Essay on any Scorsese Film: (Goodfellas, 1990)
In the year 1990 Warner Bros released a motion picture titled Goodfellas. Directed by Martin Scorsese, the narratives main strand dealt with the issue of a misguided youth enjoying his rites of passage from within the inner sanctum of the Italian gangland of the early sixties New York. The narrative continues in a narrated biographical form, following the protagonist through highs and lows before eventually reaching a cocaine induced downfall at the climax of the 1970's.
The scenes that I have chosen to discus within the context of my essay will provide the reader with an insight into the un-orthodox lifestyles enjoyed by our protagonist and his comrades.
