I remember the first time I saw it Martin Scorsese’S Good guys. I was in high school and was in awe while watching it. I had never seen a crime movie like that before and it’s one of those movies that took my love of movies to a new level. Later I started looking for and watching all kinds of mob movies, expanding my cinematic knowledge of the genre.
Legendary director Steven Spielberg recently wrote an essay on Good guys for Variety and in it he shares that it’s an “epic masterpiece” with “intoxicating energy,” and I couldn’t agree more with him. Spielberg says he’s “lost count” how many times he’s experienced this “epic cinematic masterpiece” and shares:
No longer a guilty pleasure to sit through 2 hours and 26 minutes, but rather a master class for any aspiring filmmaker who wants to see a breathtaking balancing act of multiple storylines, timelines, shocking violence, and blistering humor. The film has an intoxicating energy expressed not only through masterful editing, but also the greatest score since ‘American Graffiti’ and the best spoken word narration since Billy Wilder’s ‘Double Indemnity’.
And ever since Peter Clemenza coached Michael Corleone how to cook for a crew in “The Godfather,” food has played such a critical role in forging bonds that last a lifetime — or in this case, until the moment you get hit. .
Everyone has a favorite Scorsese photo, and this is the one for me, in a photo finish with his other favorite photo, “Raging Bull.”
What do you think of Scorsese? Good guys? What would you say is your favorite Scorsese film?
