Henry Hill – Goodfellas

In Martin Scorcese’s 1990 gangster film Goodfellas, Henry Hill lives a life of crime. He’s a professional thief, he’s unfaithful and violent, he’s a drug dealer and numerous other things that make it easy to call his character a bad guy. However, it’s apparent throughout the film that Henry was never actually cut out for the line of work that he does. It’s always what he wanted, but it’s not in his nature. This is clear when he’s squeamish about murder or is willing to help others because he’s a sensitive guy. So although he has set the bar low, he’s still the only person to admire throughout the entire film and lets his sensitivity get to him in the end.
