found an article last night talking about how scorsese's subject since goodfellas has been "the soul under materialism" (or something like that, can't recall the exact phrasing).

this is tracked from goodfellas to wolf, it even includes age of innocence in that (i had forgotten about age of innocence). also a good evaluation of casino under this framework that makes me want to watch it more carefully again.

i pretty much agree with that article in its entirety, from what i've seen and hear scorsese talk about in interviews plus his priestly aspirations etc ect.

talks abot the legacy of goodfellas and everything it enabled since (sopranos, breaking bad, etc-- plus some things made economically viable on cable due to soprano's success)

i can post you the link if you're curious.
