about the film:

The 1990 Martin Scorsese's film Goodfellas, is a classic movie about the world of organized crime. The film starts off in New York City in the 1950's, and is on the life of a poor Irish-Italian named Henry Hill. henry is a criminal who threw the movie, rises threw the Brooklyn neighborhood's organized crime branch, and has Henry and his family living the good life with his profits from his criminal activity, finally Henry is forced to testify against his former partners and lands Henry and his family in the FBI's Witness protection program. In his teen age years Henry starts working in a local hangout for wise guy's (members of organized crime). At first Henry is put to work, parking cars and little odd jobs for the wise guy's. After a few years things escalate into more involvement for Henry like working in an underground gambolin, g ring, running messages, Torching cars, and to selling stolen cigarettes. When Henry ends up getting arrested, and after a light slap on the wrists, Henry earns much trust and respect and starts off on his way to being the newest gang member.
