Boogie Nights & Goodfellas: When Karma Comes Around 

Thanks everyone for watching! Be sure to check out Adam's video if you're looking for more Boogie Nights/Goodfellas goodness! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kx15d9wIx1c.html

Fuck, that long take from boogie nights of bill getting his gun has got to be one of the best in history.

I'm so glad Boogie Nights had a relatively happy ending. That movie just about destroyed my soul.

It’s interesting that although the characters in Boogie Nights are for the most part much better people than the ones in Goodfellas, they would probably be more ostracized if they tried to go back to the “normal” world. Even now, ex mobsters and killers are idolized while sex workers have to live the rest of their lives with it as a mark of Cain of sorts.

Arguably the two best films of the last 30 years.

I'm just glad that actor Ray Liotta was able to stop smoking using Chantix!

2 movies u can watch over and over and over and over and over....but I've seen Goodfellas way more times, but I think everyone's seen Goodfellas at least 186 times....that's what I like about Boogie Nights it isnt over played on t.v and not every friend has seen it when the quality of it is up there in its own way with Goodfellas

I CANNOT EXPRESSED HOW PLEASED I AM THAT SOMEONE FINALLY SAID SCORSESE CORRECTLY I AM SCREAMING WITH JOY THANK YOU

One of the best things about Boogie Nights is that the soundtrack is back to back, always rolling, and most songs are played in their entirety on top of being classics. It really shows how thought out PTA was when he made that movie. There is not one moment of one song in one scene of the movie that seems out of place. Incredible film.

Fantastic video, my dude! So happy to finally collaborate with you on a video exploring two of my favorite films. Hope your video gets the views it very much deserves!

All the editing and style in this video deserves so many more views.

Also what a great comparison between two of the best films ever made

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Both movies are based on true stories also just so you know.What;s interesting is that both are set in the 70's and 80's.

from opening to close, every single frame of this movie had me enthralled.

These are 2 of my favorite movies of all time, I never realized the similarities or qualities they shared. Great video.

My two favorite movies. Makes sense to see the parallels. Also, two of the best tracking scenes ever.

Glad I easily piece together both films. It's old school storytelling, wayward leads, dynamic licensed soundtracks and cocaine. Love both films.

Not to put any pressure on you, but I love how frequently this channel has new content lately. Keep it up!!

Great stuff dude Good Fellas is my all time favorite film

...2 of my alltime favorites 👍🏻👍🏻

Two fantastic films whose similarities I used to consider as a "Classic rise and fall story". Thanks for the fantastic in depth analysis bro! Keep up the good work!

Two of my favorite movies. Thanks for the video.

_Great Collab! It's rare I get to see RU-vidrs do this kind of style._

I appreciate the writing thoughts. This was a fun thing to watch and of course, as with all your work, well done.

Two of my favorite movies of ALL time!! Both masterpieces and great. Can watch them over and over again, never get tired of them!! Great video.

That part when the robber enters the donut shop...

When I watched Boogie Nights I thought it was exactly the same narrative arc Goodfellas had, haha I'm so glad someone put it into an analysis video

Unbelievably well done in terms of analysis and theme. Really great stuff man! Thank you!

Want this guy to ready me bed time stories.

Fantastic video essay! Goodfellas and Boogie Nights are both phenomenal films. This video made me look at these two films in a different way. Thanks for the video!

Wow!!! Absolutely loved this comparison, I instantly subscribed! Good job, looking forward to your future insights!

What an incredible idea. Watching this again. Thank you! Big fan.

I absolutely love this. Filmmaking is not about reinventing the wheel. In most aspects, it's storytelling. It's once apon a time and they live happily ever after. Some of the best acting I have ever seen in film is in these two films. The restaurant scene in good fellas. The scene where Dirk Reid and Todd go to rip off that crazy millionaire. One of the most insane scenes of all time. I was freaked out, and laughing my ass off at the same time. But I also think that alot of both films greatness lies not just in the direction, but both films feature acting performances that are simply incredible. Not just the main players. But the surrounding cast. The Billy Batts charater in good fellas. The Todd Parker character in Boogie nights. They were so well acted. Glad you did this. Would love to see your take on Casino. Also The usual suspects. Two more films worthy of analysis. Have a nice day. 😀

This was a great video, keep up the good work!

“Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut” if that ain’t foreshadowing idk what is.

Great video. Great parallels drawn

Thanks for this vid, great analysis

Keep doing what you doing. Your vids are so good👌👌

This really helps!!! Thank you, so much

indeed, dear 'Film Radar' ... keep doing what thou doest !!! Uncle's first experience of thee and he dug it !!!

I always noticed and loved the long takes. Anderson does this in Magnolia as well

Two of my top 5 favorites

I remember we watched a very good movie in middle school called The Outsiders by S E Hinton, and i don’t know about all the similarities but these three movies definitely have the common elements of turbulent backgrounds, loyalty to their respective group and some type of redemption in the end

I don’t even think Henry deserved the money he got, he lied and betrayed somebody who loves him and in the end, got the best possible outcome. Witness protection when all the people who put everything on the line for him rot in jail.

I don't think Boogie nights it's about Karma, but about lost people wondering without a family and finally finding one.

As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a Porn Star

Great video; keep up the good work.

I remember the first time I saw Boogie Nights in 98, I new I had just watched a classic movie, I'd put BN in to my top ten films of the 90s.

Two of my all time favorite movies.

Great video, man!

Both movies have amazing soundtracks

Great video!

Two of my favorite movies!

Cool video buddy. Keep them coming 👍🏻🇬🇧

I just watched Goodfellas and Boogie Nights last night, excellent recommendation from the algorithm haha

Great video! I've always kinda thought these two movies were very similar.

Great job Colonel. Youre a star. Youre a big bright shining star.

What a great video. Thanks for this entertainment. 😁

One of my favorite media stories is watching high corrupt officials fall so goddamn hard

Great video about films "Boogie Night and "Goodfellas"!

Third movie that would have been a great addition to this subject matter is requiem for a dream. Same kind of flow but with summer, fall, and winter.

Outstanding work, congratulations.

you could also add Saturday Night Fever to this comparison with disco era and dancing as the backdrop as opposed to the porn industry or the mafia. these are 3 of my favorite films of all time, so interesting to watch this karmic debt, three acts and such. great video. its also sad that Mark Wahlberg had chosen to turn his back on this wonderful film. Boogie Nights all but made him a star but his recent comments make it sound like he wishes he never did it or is ashamed. he has his own history of karmic debt as well.

I can't believe (pretty sure..) i've never seen Boogie Nights, and I consider myself somewhat a "film buff". I watched the clip of that drug deal, and it was like crazy anxiety.

Boogie nights brought about an interesting epiphany for me. I had found out a friend of mine had never seen it, and invited him and his old lady over to watch it. I had always recognized and appreciated it's dramatic weight, and the depth of it's characters, but in my mind it was still an enjoyable watch, and the comedy hit all the right notes to even it out. I think you know where this story is heading. Fifteen minutes into screening the film the mood in the room was not unlike if I had invited them over to watch a fucking snuff film.

RIP, Ray Liotta...❤

My Top 2 Fav Movies of all time..♡

this is GREAT

Two awesome films

Scarface, casino, Goodfellow, Jackie brown, pulp fiction...all have a party like atmosphere for the first half of the movies, with the main characters mostly being successful and having a good time. Scarface literally ends its "party" after the "push it to the limit"montages. He gets married and you see the cash rolling in. The very first scene after that is his wife being unhappy.

Great video

Ross Bugden music. Respect

Well at least Henry and Dirk were a lot luckier then Ginger in Casino. She was also a junkie.

preaty great video

One thing that frustrates about John C. Reilly is that people mostly know for Step Brothers (2008) and Wreck it Ralph (2012) but he has so much range in movie roles, and it pisses me off when people don't bring up his roles in films like Magnolia, Boogie Nights, Chicago and Casualties of War.

two favorite movies 😍

Good fucking analysis and synapsis. Ever notice how Gimme Shelter and Three Dog Night's "Mama told me not to come" are staples in movies like this when everything starts going down the drain for the iconoclastic protagonists?

Goodfellas Pulp Fiction Boogie Nights ❤📽🎬

I had to watch this twice because the first time I was too distracted by the idea of Ray Liotta as a pornstar Amazing video, though, as per

Sunsets are great, but sunrises are better!

Interesting video. Subbed.

Great review! I’ve seen both movies and never thought of it by comparisons! Seeing BN on the big screen was a trip! I remember seeing an elderly lady walking out during the office sex scene early in the movie! Lol she was saying: “DISGUSTING,ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Fantastic video contrasting two different movies that wrap together common threads. I like writing, I'm a 5th year college student. The same year I took my college curriculum placement test- I spent 1/2 a year writing an epic, heavily violent but philosophical, 12 chapter storyline about an elite group of different female samurai warriors- who act as their some of their nation's original law enforcement units- The main character has a reasonable lifespan- I do however kill off a couple main characters- one being her original village-watch ally. I wrote it to be as gruesome as Robocop, as lovingly romantic as 'She's Having A Baby' and has organnized crime-style details for the Ancient-Japanese-style Scarface inspired main enemies- with their 'Boss' being their Emporere's TRADE MINISTER! LOL. I converted to a different faith and know I cannot go back to it.

Shut up Dirk. I got a plan. I got a very good plan.

Most movies that take place in 70s, 80s, have the rise & fall of the character or characters, American Gangster, casino, American Hustle, 54, wolf of wall street, etc. It has more to do with that era! How the 70s were very warm & friendly & how the 80s was very dark & unforgiving!

Great video!! Both movies rule

Sonny Barger, the founder of the Hells Angels wrote a book similar to all this. He partied and did what he felt like in the 60s and 70s. By the time the 80s rolled around so many laws changed. America changed altogether, party is over.

RIP Ray Liotta

i think about all this way too much

I really like the "gun on the wall" metaphor and intend to steal it, with pertinent "fair use" claims.

Interesting analysis. I also found a lot of parallels between Boogie Nights and Scarface. Minus the family element Both protagonists come from nothing Both protagonists do something immoral to rise to the top Both protagonists enjoy success Both protagonist let their ego and greed run out of control Both protagonist let their drug problems get the better of them Both protagonist falls from grace Only, Tony Montana gets blasted, but Dirk Diggler gets a second chance

Tfw your looking for the subscribe button cause you want more but you realize you've already subscribed. Man I gotta start making some films

Two really excellent films and great content. I just subscribed and Confucius doesn't subscribe to any random slapdick on youtube. lol

Wow

My parents are like the horrible parents in both these films.

Anyone else have to adjust the playback speed or is my laptop F-ed up again?

Both classic movies

Anyone notice the song at 9:00? Help a bother out finding the song.

the rise and fall of these two stories has in common the cocaine issue and money to fuel it. I've seen too many brought down by it. I knew a beautiful woman who's only son still won't talk to her 15 years later and for good reason. She wasn't there for him when he really needed her.
