Goodfellas (1990) is one of many Martin Scorsese masterpieces. It features Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci and Paul Sorvino. — Henri Hill, played by Liotta, participates in a robbery with two gangsters for whom this is small game compared to what they have in mind. They are ambitious, more than Henri, to the point of heartlessly eliminating anyone who stands in their way. They see themselves at the top of the mob. Reality check for the unseasoned gangster. This dinner scene, while in prison no less, is a great example of Scorsese’s storytelling style as well as his trademark visual choreography. His movies are said to be “cut to the music.”
