Goodfellas

Recommended Posts

Okay, so I watched this movie again for the first time in like 10 years...the scene where Joe Pesci gets smoked...he realizes as he enters that room that he is about to get killed then BLAM...the question is, how does he realize this? Was there a signifigance with that particular room? did it just suddenly snap into his head before the bullet did as he entered the room?

The Italian gangsters are heavily known for their ability to make you feel everything is alright.

 

 

 

so Spoilers if you haven't seen the movie

 

 

Part of being a made guy, you can not be touched by the lower men on the totem. When Pesci killed that man in the restaurant, who was a made guy in another family... the other family ordered the life of Pesci. His own family had to whack him to prevent a war with rival clans.

 

It's not like they are going to just say "Time to die, Tommy" so they told him he was finally being made. This allows Tommy to be unarmed and placed in the care of his family.

 

So the empty room, like the guy above me said, none of his mob mates were there with him. Plus an empty room is easy to clean up all the blood.

Also how come towards the end when Ray Liotta hands the baby sitter the plane ticket, the ticket is blacked out?

The producers never got clearance to use the company's name.

 

It was an American Airlines ticket - the company complained because they didn't want the movie to imply that they allowed cocaine dealers to go undetected.

 

The ticket was blacked out in theatres as well.
