I have decided my law and culture piece will be based around the 1990 Martin Scorsese film, good fellas. I’ve chosen this crime drama, because I believe it is the perfect example of how law and culture is expressed through film.The movie is adapted from the book WISE GUYS authored by Nicholas Pileggi. This piece takes place in New York City in the 1970s. The story follows the rise and fall of NYC mobsters and families , as they scam, steal, and kill to obtain their slices of the American pie. This film, parallels law, and culture in 1970s /80s New York City accurately. The narration and dedication to detail in the book and film creates a vivid understanding of how and why these characters find themselves in legal dilemmas. The film stars ray loitta ,Robert De Niro, and Joe Pesci. This Scorsese film is widely, regarded as one of the greatest mob movies ever made, and exactly how it is revered Goodfellas will not disappoint.
