Goodfellas: The Performance of Power
from The Minimum Commitment: Film Theory in Small Doses · host Donn Lawler Podcasts
Beneath the flash and swagger, Goodfellas is a study in performative masculinity. In this episode, we explore how Scorsese uses cHarm, violence, and control to show how gangster life is built on fear and illusion. What looks like power is actually a mask—and once it slips, everything falls apart.
