@@alanrogs3990 different types of use of music in each film. While i love Tarantino, gotta say that Scorsese places it much better on his films (also great merits to Thelma Schoonmaker) and they feel better paced and meaningful.
@@alanrogs3990 QT does a great job with his soundtrack, but Martin is the master.

From what I've read, the cost of licensing songs from bands like The Stones to use in movies is astronomical, so thank you Marty for digging deep into your film budget to make sure the soundtrack is second to none.

Yup, it's a perfect segue. Scorsese's magnum opus in that regard is the montage before Henry gets arrested in Goodfellas. He and Thelma Schoonmaker and his sound editor juggled about a dozen songs in that scene.
I remember seeing that closeup pan of Pesci's face (0:21) in a trailer for this movie and thought he looked absolutely badass. Something about the way the shot was set up just made him look so cool.
The beginning of this scene is timed really well. Right when the camera reaches that iconic view of Joe Pesci the song goes into its familiar guitar riff that your brain instantly connects with. Excellent editing work. From now on I'll always associate this song with the movie Casino.
The actor sitting next to Joe Pesci, Frank Vincent, is the same guy Pesci killed in Goodfellas. What makes this film ironic is Frank Vincent's character kills Joes Pesci's character in a similar fashion to Goodfellas.
@@gigicestone4902 he didn't even need to "earn" he just had to keep an eye on Rosenthal if he didn't "earn" everything would still be ok for em in vegas but no he ran everything into the ground and got his skull ran into the floor along with is brother in Kansas city
He had to “earn” because as a made guy he had to “kick up” a certain minimum every week. That’s how it works: associates kick up to soldiers, to operate in their territory, soldiers to captains, and captains to bosses. That’s the Mafia, the higher you go, the greater a percentage you get, from all the criminal profits of the people underneath you in the hierarchy.
I swear Martin Scorcese is the master and putting the perfect songs to perfect scenes like Layla in Goodfellas, Shipping Out To Boston in Departed etc etc etc etc i could go on forever
I always wondered if the "mint-condition coins" that the receptionist mentioned to Nicky were the same ones that Ginger had on her when she was found dead from her "hot dose".
Unlikely, the kind of losers she was getting involved with near the end of her life would had taken anything of value to keep buying dope, she probably closed her bank account and the last of what was left was paid in cash including some bags of new, shiny and pretty much worthless coins; the tip Nicky's gang got probably was related to some old, rare and very valuable coins, not the kind of thing a junkie would still have at that point.
@@g.sergiusfidenas6650 dude u typed all that but in the end of the movie it’s stated that she died with only x amount of mint condition coins. So looks like they could very well be the same coins.
To me that scenario is a stretch; so she stole from Nicky, he somehow either never realized that or if he did never took any action against her and at the end of her life she not only still had the coins but they were not taken by the lowlifes she was hanging with when she died, seems more logical that she had nothing left after wasting it in drugs but a bunch of shiny pennies, that's the way I see things.

How great would it be to be a mobster back in those days. No electronics yet. No cameras the size of a pencil. No microphones that could hear a snake fart in egypt.
Doorhenge actually around this time the government and FBI had a very good amount of tracking devices cameras and bugs they could plant in certain mob or criminal locations. they were even able to tap phones by then as well.
How great it would be to be an FBI investigator in those days. Mob enforcers who announced their presence in Vegas with about as much subtlety as an elephant stampede, just begging for you to make an example of them. Mob enforcers who might as well take out a full-page ad screaming that the Chicago and Midwest Syndicate has taken over and I'm getting everybody in line. Mob bosses meeting at the exact same grocery market backroom once a month for years and years .And all that time never bothering to have the place checked out for your bugging equipment as they discuss everything that they are doing in their Las Vegas skimming operation. And Artie Pascal, the idiot they put in charge of overseeing and watching the operation also blabbing about everything taking place in Vegas. And then Artie Pascal writing down detailed records of everything so you have nothing to figure out as far as how the operation was run.
0:20 On this moment one could clearly see an amazing actor's work from Joe Pesci. Just look at the face of this guy. This is not a random face from an ordinary person. This is a real grimace of a sadist and psychopath with internal turmoil. This scene lasts only for seconds, but it tells a lot. Each time I see this scene I always admire what kind of deep psychological work Joe Pesci has done in order to fully expose the personality of this villain in the movie.
The guy at 1:24 is the same guy from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and it has the same job... Maybe Casino and Fear and Loathing share the same universe.
1:50 Wall Jobs are highly underrated. Was one of my specialties back when I did a lot of 2nd story jobs. Really liked cutting through roofs too. Easy way to avoid motion detectors by picking a good spot to drop in.
Not sure how much people appreciate a few things: 1. Scorceses ability to write and edit his film (in his head) to the rhythm of the classic rock and roll tune. 2. The shot that he invents in the beginning of this video with each face being revealed behind the glass with a reflective slant, then into Pescis face. 3. How Scorcese gives all three main characters their own scene, here it’s Nicky’s. And after the song ends, we know who the real boss of Las Vegas is.
Casino lacked the acting tightness that Goodfellas had, but that's the only advantage Goodfellas had; the cinematography in this film is legendary, above Oscar worthy.
Irishman was bloated and was too long. All the stars are too old in that film. The anti-aging effects were creepy. But Scorsese was never afraid to take chances. It will be looked as a stepping stone movie for the technology. Which is not a bad thing.
I am a huge Stones fan and this was the first time I heard "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" when I was in high school. I knew some of their stuff then but had no clue what the name of the song was for this awesome riff. I bought Exile because I thought this song must be called "Casino Boogie" because it was featured in the film Casino. Lol. So I guess this movie was responsible for me discovering the Stones catalogue while in my teens and becoming a lifelong fan. Great mob flicks and Stones songs go together like a horse and carriage.

1:23 "I'll remember your face"
One of the greatest dolly shots in cinema history.
Sometimes i used to turn their faucets on because i didn't like the people i robbed having dry floors
"What's taking so long over there?"
"This thing is a mothafucka!" Lol
Peek a boo you shinebox you.
Casino lacked the acting tightness that Goodfellas had, but that's the only advantage Goodfellas had; the cinematography in this film is legendary, above Oscar worthy.
Disagree completely
@@paulwalkeer1842 I disagree slightly
I honestly think Joe Pesci's performance in this movie was even better than in Goodfellas, and one of the best performances in any mob movie
Casino could have been an over-budgeted failure, but Scorcessi pulled it off, where most directors fail.
His “kid” brother is like 50 years old. Lol
Gangsters never seem to grow up in many ways. They can be 60 years old and still go by some childish nickname
I always love the way the camera moves forward and pans left and right. It's something you'd only see in a Scorcese film.
So much movement and action in this movie. Even guys talking on the phone is exciting and flashy.
I like how the song says.",Yeh you got" and then he starts to introduces them
This is what Phil was up to before he did 20 years in the can. But after he died in the car trunk, resurrected
damn the editing is exceptional
The Scorsese trilogy is complete, Goodfellas, Casino and The Irishman
Irishman was a poor finish. Way too long and Pesci's fire was gone.
@@steveconn he cant get mad or hyped up anymore his blood pressure he is too old
The Irishman was terrible. It was embarrassing
Should be The Departed
Irishman was bloated and was too long. All the stars are too old in that film. The anti-aging effects were creepy. But Scorsese was never afraid to take chances. It will be looked as a stepping stone movie for the technology. Which is not a bad thing.
He had everybody hustling for him
I am a huge Stones fan and this was the first time I heard "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" when I was in high school.
I knew some of their stuff then but had no clue what the name of the song was for this awesome riff. I bought Exile because I thought this song must be called "Casino Boogie" because it was featured in the film Casino. Lol.
So I guess this movie was responsible for me discovering the Stones catalogue while in my teens and becoming a lifelong fan.
Great mob flicks and Stones songs go together like a horse and carriage.
1:41 they parked the truck there to help lessen the noise.
The camera work in this scene is AMAZING. It's like the camera is floating on a cloud. Did Lakitu help film this?
So this is how Phil did all those years in the can🤯
I brought in DAMinik and some DESPERAAEEDOOHHS
One of the GREATEST movies' of all time, and definitely Scorsese's best film
The way this is laid out is perfect. Martin Scorsese is a genius.
"Well what the fuck did they expect from me? i had to earn didnt i"
Thats what i always say too when i get caught stealing
To Nicky Las Vegas was the fuckin Wild West.
1:23 I swear this guy played a valet in Fear and Loathing as well.
That's a really good spot I think you're right lol
I'm only 16 years of age and yet this is my taste of films and music.
