Once Upon a Time in America Film investment

2021-10-20 17:21
In 1971, Paramount Pictures invited Sergio Lionel to direct the movie "The Godfather", but Lionel was focusing on the revision of the script of "Once Upon a Time in America", so he declined the invitation gently. But when Leoni finished all the preparations and even contacted Robert De Niro to play the leading role, "The Godfather" has been released, so the producer is no longer as successful as "Once Upon a Time in America", which is very similar in genre to "The Godfather." Confidence, investment plans were therefore stranded.
During the 11 years of waiting for film investment, every year at the Cannes Film Festival Leone would sit at the venue with a script in hand, waiting for investors. It wasn't until 1983 that the producer Aaron Bell recognized Lionel and listened to his three-hour script description, so he decided to invest in the film.

    Nothing to say, every scene is so beautiful and daunting. Leone, who has made genre movies for a lifetime, has dealt with all kinds of pornography, violence, and comedy at his fingertips, but focused on exaggerating nostalgia and regrets, using a small Jewish gang to reflect the sacrifice of humanity behind the rise of the US economy. And freedom. Look again, I like the joy of changing a baby the most. The 4K restored version screened in the archive adds missing paragraphs, and the plot is clearer.
