Good Advice From Goodfellas

This book is an exhaustive collection of the wonderful life lessons stacked in scene after scene in Martin Scorsese's masterpiece, Goodfellas. As a fan of this film, second in my mind only to The Godfather Part 2 in the history of gangster movies, this compilation of the insightful interactions that makes the movie pitch perfect is a fun and informative read. In the hands of Ferris, who is never afraid to dissect the deeper meaning of human exchanges, it is a valuable tool that walks the line between the violent fun and frenetic drama of the film and the relatable takeaways sprinkled liberally in nearly every scene. And to answer your question, yes David, Scorsese's Oscar for The Departed was a make-up call.
