Goodfellas from Martin Scorses won a complement

The nineties were notorious for Hollywood studios that released films about the same at the same time: “Tombstone”, “Wyatt Earp”, “Volcano”, “Dante’s Peak”, and. “Harmjdon” and “deep effect” It is among the most prominent examples. Before all of this, the contract with one of the strangest double forms began based on Henry Hill’s notes, the New York gang man who has ended in the witness protection program after martyrdom against his old mafia comrades. One of the films “Goodfellas” by Martin Scorsese, and the other was a complement of some kind, although it struck the theaters first: the comedy of Herbert Ross in the water “My Blue Heaven”.

It is striking that both films originate from the same source. Hill’s story was already a high -level story thanks to his role in 50 condemnation of the crime family in Lukez, but it gained greater attention in terms of scope with the publication of “Wiseguy: Life in the Mafia family” in 1985. The story was additional wrinkle after Hill entered the protection of witnesses; Despite the clear danger to himself, his wife and children, he was unable to completely adapt to a regular life and later began the program for more criminal behavior.

Pelegi, a New York journalist with a lifelong interest in the mafia, conducted intense research including many interviews with Hill for “Wiseguy”. Many of their conversations also attended the wife of Beligi, Nora Everon, the director who Rob Riner was formulated “When Harry Sally met …” He wrote and faced classics such as “Sleeples in Seattle”. Everon even made individual phone calls with Hill about Minutiae of Life in protecting witnesses, and these chats gave her the idea of ​​”My Heaven Blue” starring Steve Martin and Rick Moranis. Although he was the first from the portal in August 1990 – it was shown “Goodfellas” in September – it was overwhelmed in Crime Comedy by “Goodfellas” and stands as somewhat forgotten in Martin. Let’s take a closer look at how to run it and whether it is worth your time.

Vinnie Antonelli (Steve Martin) is one of the inteishnced mobs in the Federal Witness Protection Program and is preparing to testify against his former colleagues in New York. His new home is Fryburg, California, a city with a white white square on the outskirts of San Diego, where it was under the watchful eye of the FBI Barney Copersmith customer (Rick Moranis). Neither Vinnie nor his wife, Linda (Deborah Rush), are very excited about changing the site, and you soon call her to leave her and go to the big city.

Vinnie returns to his old criminal methods, which lands in hot water with the lawyer of Dodi Hannah Station (Joan Kosak). She wants to calm him down because of his minor crimes, but fortunately, Barney is not about to allow a small bust that showcases Vinnie’s main role in the next mob trial. The two men find Bond and Vinnie more companionship when he discovers that Freburg is the home of Billy Sparrow (William Hikki), an old friend from the back in the east, and a complete gang of ex -wise men. During dinner, he told the mobs who were repaired by me that the government is being achieved only until after the testimony. Moreover, he will have to have a job like all ordinary people. Not satisfied with this idea, it is proposed to cooperate to start a crime wave with Barney at hand to get him out of trouble when he is arrested again.

If you ever sit at the end of “Goodfellas” wondering how life “Schnook” was like an unresolved criminal like Henry Hill, “My Blue Heaven” provides a funny spin in the scenario. It is a wonderful comedy that you play almost as you expect, it works better in previous scenes when you break Vinnie Glely Lawly and run circles around Barney and Hannah. Nora Everon was one of the most annoying Hollywood writers, and Herbert Ross was one of the most unpinse, so there is nothing controversial or difficult here, not even by mistake. Vinnie is a sweet -haired sweetheart and silk suits, and the unavoidable final confrontation with Hitmen that he sent to rub it out of friction. In other words, the “Blue Blue Paradise” may be based on the same real story, but it is the opposite of “goodfellas”.

“My Blue Heaven” is an amusing transformation that never reaches the comic highlands proposed by a wonderful hypothesis. This is very confusing when you think about the talent concerned; Steve Martin and Rick Moranis were still at its peak, and Nora Everon has just received an Academy Award for writing “When Harry Sally met …”, and director Herbert Ross was following the box office with “Steel Magnolias”.

Unfortunately, the film is not cooked sad, and the stars are not given a lot to work with it. Everon’s scenario continues to put Fini in fun situations, but very few scenes reach their full potential. It seems as if Ross was working from an early draft before Everon could develop the story and produce the characters more. It is more than that the mud is that the film never gets an opportunity to flow because the delicate material stops constantly through its meaningless timeline and which breaks the story into chapters free of laughter to a large extent.

Martin and Maurnes may have been able to pump some of their energy into the “blue sky” if they were not drivers. According to what was reported, Martin was originally attracted to the project to play the role of a moderate FBI agent. It was logical with the appearance of the movie when Martin was attracted from his wild days and madness towards a little more serious roles, and His performance in “aircraft, trains and cars” Proved that he could be a wonderful straight man. Instead, he looks sick in Fennie’s comfort, as the fraudster gave a little surface Pragadoco and a wise accent other than the heart, but also radiates the feeling that Martin himself was not convinced of playing the role.

In front of Martin, Moranis plays Barney’s role almost straight, which does not benefit from his comic capabilities. It was much more pleasant to see him throwing against the species as a strong man in the direction of the street-he definitely plays wonders of size in the pocket that worked on wonders for the huge Joe Pesque in “Goodfellas”. As the third wheel, Joan Kusak does not have a lot to do other than NAG and provide love for Barne, another waste of comedy talent. As a result, we left us with an intermittent, rarely classified farce, which is rarely classified The best films Steve Martin.
