The plot of the film is actually based on a single mafia family and the lives of some people. The real Henry Hill actually said that the film was about 90% accurate, making the audience enjoy the film even more. Being able to paint and piece together a real picture and only having to make minor changes to it is great, especially when those minor changes turn the picture gold. The depictions of mafia life, right down to traces of Italy, like made men, are an interesting thing to watch when there is a humorous cast. For example, near the end of the film, Henry has a lot of tasks to complete by the end of the day: dropping off guns at Jimmy's house, picking up his brother, making dinner, and making a very large drug drop-off. The jerky scenes, bold music, and close-ups presented by Scorsese also make the audience feel the nervousness and paranoia that Henry feels towards the end. It was obvious that leading a life in the mafia was a risky business and it even made me sweat bullets for
