What do your favorite movies say about you?
Do you have a go-to movie that you love so much that you can recite the dialogue word-for-word? I do, and that movie is GoodFellas. It’s a Martin Scorsese-directed gangster film that follows the rise and fall of Henry Hill, a real-life mobster. But what does it say about me that this is my favorite movie? I'm going to explore that question in this blog post.
First, let me break down the plot for those who aren't familiar. GoodFellas is a classic gangster movie that follows Henry Hill's (played by Ray Liotta) journey from a young boy eager to enter the mob world to a seasoned gangster in his adulthood. This movie is rife with gangster lingo, dark humor, memorable one-liners, beautiful cinematography, and an amazing soundtrack.
So, what does it say about me that this is my all-time favorite movie? For one thing, I'm a huge fan of the gangster drama genre. I’m fascinated by the criminal underworld and the dynamics of organized crime. However, my love for GoodFellas is not just about a fascination for crime; it's because the film features a range of complex characters that aren't just one-dimensional gangsters. The movie shows that these characters have a range of emotions and desires, which is something I can relate to.
Another reason why I love GoodFellas is that it signifies a throwback to a time when Hollywood made great story-driven movies that didn't rely on computer graphics and special effects. This movie was made with great care, quality, precision, and detail that are evident throughout. It’s a movie that focuses on storytelling, plot, and character development, and that's something that I appreciate.
But most importantly, I love GoodFellas because it’s a movie that I can watch over and over again without getting bored. The dialogue is so compelling that I can recite it word-for-word. The movie has a profound impact on me every time I watch it. It sparks debates on morality, values, and ethics—topics that are incredibly important to me.
In conclusion, GoodFellas is an excellent movie that continues to be a constant source of joy and inspiration in my life. It signifies a time when Hollywood made movies that told great stories and had a huge cultural influence. My love for GoodFellas isn't just about my fascination with the mob; it's the complexity of the characters, the storytelling, and the dialogue that hooked me right from the beginning. Reciting lines from GoodFellas is my way of connecting to the characters, the actors, and the storyline. It’s not about being a gangster or glorifying their crimes but rather about appreciating great cinema and the cultural impact that it has on us all.
Just like I love the complexity of my clients in private coaching, when you coach thousands of people, you realize that we all want the same things. Peace, Joy, Safety, Connection, and most of all, to feel like we matter.
