Goodfellas, September 12 1990, Martin Scorsese

One of Martin Scorsese’s iconic styles is his long take what can be seen in his most critical acclaimed movies but this one is his most iconic long shot to show the relationships between characters, and the advantage of being a gangster. He uses this as a way to take away attention from the violence and illegal behavior of being gangster and shows the upside of it and makes a much calmer scene compared to the rest of the movie. He has done this to make the scene more memorable as it is the part of the movie what is completely different to everything else as its much more chaotic and violent. The type of shot used is sequence shot what allows the background of the scene to become realistic and more layered. The shot took 8 times to get right as it was by a problem with the set what made them having to shoot the scene entering at the back. Scorsese decided to do this unbroken as a way to symbolize the life ahead for Henry.
