- that's similar in broad strokes to the plotting of GOODFELLAS, and plus it's not a "mob" movie.
And regardless, GOODFELLAS is based directly on fact, and SCARFACE and GOODFELLAS are about as stylistically different as any two movies can be. If they share broadly similar plot points, so what? Should Scorsese have altered the facts of the case because of a fictional movie that shared some similar plot threads?
