[Great] 251-minute director's cut version, lamenting that Leon has made the film to the extreme in multiple dimensions: the ultimate image sensory mobilization, so that it is not limited to sight and hearing; in a slow and orderly rhythm, all past events are recalled It has been restored and given life as much as possible, so that it is no longer just a "memories"; it is almost impossible to use rational thinking to generalize, discuss or summarize the film; and emotionally, this film gives you the intuitive feeling It will also change as the years go by. All in all, if you're looking for a "cinematic" answer, go to Once Upon a Time in America, because it has all the answers you're looking for.

What's so good about this movie? Where is the past? What else is there except love? Where is the friendship between Noodles and Max? Why are so many hidden stories in film reviews so high if not everyone can see it? I admit that the characterization of teenagers is really wonderful, but you have 4 hours, why can't you tell the story? If it is really regarded as a classic because of the difference between men and women, then the difference is really such a big one.
