"Once Upon a Time in America" is a classic that is worth watching over and over again. The artistic success of the film is very high: the characters in the play are vivid, the plot of the film is meticulously carved, the film screen is very particular, and even each segment is quite original. For example, the pornographic woman Carol colluded with the gang to rob her husband's jewelry store, and to hide her eyes, she actively asked the looters to rape herself, and made a harsh and enjoyable cry; then the screen turned to the empty shot of the sea, accompanied by the voice-over of seagulls, so matching With lyricism and a sense of humor, I have to admire the director's good intentions
Someone once said that in the history of American cinema, there is only one genre film that can be compared with "The Godfather", and that is one of the "Trilogy of the Past" by the Italian director Sergio Leone. It cost 40 million US dollars and lasted ten years. "Once Upon a Time in America" produced in three years. The film presents the American landscape in the eyes of a European director in a very charming and full form, as well as the memory of an outsider's imagination and illusion of the United States. It has become a classic chapter in film history. "Once Upon a Time in America" attracted many fans to watch it over and over again, interpret it, lament the growth of the young noodles' pain, and shed tears for the truth of the old noodles. The sharpness and desolation of Leonene's lens back also infected those who watched the movie with all their heart ().
