Magic movie-soundtrack moments can groove into your head and stay there forever. Its a combination of things. The music itself of course , but also the context of the film and the scene.
The Layla fade-out on that sequence-from-hell from Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas : a classic (and desperate) love song lays into gangland gorefest with all the unrestrained vengeance of soul poetry.What juxtaposition, what a scene and what use of soundtrack !
Inspired. Epic.
Just epic.
hey man...what a great movie moment this is. ive always thought scorsese is one haraami mind (read genius) to think of such a juxtaposition.
ReplyDeletecheers!

ReplyDeleteWata pick BK. They should release this as a movie, be nominated in the short film category.
ReplyDeleteTripped real hard on the VO, what happened to Ray Liotta guys?
Aside: appears Scorsese has a Stones' track in almost all his films, there's a Live Concert he did with them, absolute gold, Shine A Light. The way he shoots Jagger, what can I say, Love?
Liotta fairly disappeared after this didnt he ! Wiki-ed it just now - just a lot of obscure movies and roles , last one dating to 2010. Very true abt Scorsese and the Stones ...De Niro'd be so envious ! Another one that comes to my mind is jumping jackflash on mean streets . . .
