Was he a good person?
>>221368832>for all my life all I wanted was to be a shitbag who stole from productive people
>>221368832none of scorshitty's MCs were good people except maybe jesus
He didn't seem particularly vicious and cruel. If he attended high school, he wouldn't bully the nerds.
>>221368832Nah, he happens to be the protagonist he's a shit bag as much as the rest of them. If anything more so because the Mob tried to help him out over and over as long as he didn't sell drugs but he was too much of a degenerate.
>violent sociopathic criminal with a demonstrable intellectual disability>good
>>221368832He was a naive retard who eventually ratted out his scumbag associates when threatened with hard time. Most people who watch gangster movies always like to imagine they'd be tough in the face of the law and loyal to their bosses but the reality is every gang is 90% made up of guys like him.
The real henry hill was a scumbag if you hear his interviews. >my teacher told me i had a bad singing voice so i became goodfellahs
>>221368832take it from both the men themselveshttps://youtu.be/EQtv5GvUduo?t=118
>>221368832>never commits any murder in his book or the movieyeah this guy is a fat fucking liar
>>221368832He doesn't do a single good thing or have a single redeemable quality, so I'm going with "no."
>>221368932that kind of man led us out of the caves bro
>>221368958What gets me is that he actively wanted to be in the Mob in the first place. He fucking chose the life, but then he wimped out and betrayed all his friends when he was faced with the slightest hint of consequences for his own decisions. Genuine scumbag, even by gangster standards.
>>221369207But he redeemed himself in the sequel and built the little league team a new stadium
>>221368832No, just a person. Who would've turned down that life as a kid? Not many.
