What is so authentic about this ending is that Henry Hill was not really sorry for the choices he made and all the immoral things he did. He is merely sorry that time caught up with him, and everything had to end. He would very much relive it all over again if given the chance

Also, if Henry was so scared and wanted to nail these 2 guys then why didn't he sell Burke out for the Lufthansa heist?

One of the best films of all time. IMO it’s right up there with The Godfather I&II.

I've seen quite a few documentaries/interviews with the real Henry Hill and he always said the scariest experiences were actually everything that came after the events of the film. Basically from when he went into the program until Jimmy died, he feared Jimmy coming after him every minute. Crazy.

Forgot to include him closing the door and it sounding like a cellblock

Such a great scene, though the glasses make Deniro look like Bubbles from *Trailer Park Boys* 😂

Ray, was such a cool actor..just love his voice..DeNiro had nothing to say about him other than praise.

Franzese: Henry was an addict that barely knew these guys. He used thier stories for snitch credit. His wife and kids abandoned him. He died broke and alone.

0:26 they fixed the license plate that falls off

Looking at old interviews of Henry Hill shows just how great a job Liota done here. By all accounts, Pesci and Deniro were on point too but didn't have a living reference point to base their portrayals on.
