It's March. Back in Indiana the film is a seasonal rite. Tonight it was clear that the film is all about second chances. Characters all having another chance to make right.
Then Goodfellas was playing on IFC. First time in a long while. Still know it by heart. But on this viewing my eyes saw anew that Henry & Karen have the only lasting, unconditional relationship in the film. Money, greed, paranoia, tears apart every friendship offered. Betrayal and violence. There's no trust. No safety. Except for Henry & Karen who remain in good times and bad.
Swingers was a brief nightcap. I didn't fall in love with the film until living in Los Angeles.
All Tarantino does is rip off Scorsese.
