©2023 by the board of trustees of the university of illinois aCross twenty-three years, martin sCorsese directed three films—GoodFellas (1990), Casino (1995), and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)—that employ similar narrative structures and stylistic devices to explore variations on the same themes: class aspiration, greed, and masculinity in twentieth-century America. Though not a trilogy in the formal sense, the films are discursively linked, with Casino mirroring and expanding on GoodFellas and with The Wolf of Wall Street likewise engaging with GoodFellas and Casino.
