miller's crossing > goodfellas I will not be silenced
I think the ending of Goodfellas does in fact resonate -- the whole movie is about how Henry Hill escaped the boredom of being a mundane schnook for being a glamorous gangster -- and his punishment is he ends up being what he hated.

It's true that the whole movie is an exercise in messing with pacing. The end doesn't satisfy me on a visceral level the way Miller's Crossing does, though I agree it makes sense schematically.
