    I have watched the movie over and over again. The screenwriter is very strong, and the flashbacks are expressed very smoothly. I especially like the director to switch the time and space of the film plot by giving the station commander lens. The composition of the shots is also very beautiful. Everyone's fate is involved. The choice made by the temptation of money, a rich...

    Is there a difference between men and women? I don't think it's particularly exciting, but it's very delicate. It's a real four-hour movie. Or should I watch it when I'm in good shape and free time? Jennifer Connelly is really amazing. do not...

    From the 37th minute of the film, I no longer knew what the film was about. Jennifer Connelly's 14-year-old Loli look is really...

    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...

    I'm still young, and I won't pretend to be big in the future. This is the film review, more than three hours of film review. I may give 100 stars in the future, but now, I am still young, so I will not express my position. But why did Noodle do that to Deborah?...

"Once Upon a Time in America" ​​left me with long-lasting amazement and unforgettable feelings! time, go...

    Review, the 251-minute extended version, the look and feel is not very satisfactory. The biggest problem is not verbosity, but sensationalism. The characters in this film are indescribably complex and profound. The whole film is full of emotions from beginning to end, and at least 3 hours of 4 hours are spent on emotions rather than storytelling. The emotional pile is too full and too strong, which highlights the thinness of the characters in the plot, and the strong emotions also appear to...

    Review the supplementary mark. The soundtrack is too much, the photography is quite satisfactory, the narrative is soothing, the most powerful is the makeup and the scenery... I don't like the yellow storm...

  • Frankie Minaldi: Hey, Joe, tell these guys the story about the pussy being insured. What is it? Tell these guys how you stumbled on this whole thing. Tell them the story. Come on. Pussy insurance, the insurance pussies. Tell them that story.

    Joe Minaldi: Life is stranger than shit, that's all. It's a pisser. No big story. I got this insurance agent, this Jew kid named David. He conned me into every policy in the world. Every policy, name it, dogs, house, wife, life, anything. I'm drinking with the boys one night. He comes in with his wife, a brunette with a nice ass who works for a jeweller. And he's still on the hustle, this guy. So I wink at the guys, I say, "Look... the most serious policy, you don't have me covered for." He goes, "What's that, Joe?" "Cock insurance. You make me a policy that when it don't work, I get a payment. I'll write out a check now." He thinks, and he says, "I don't know if the actuality gauges govern this... but we can make a policy. But you gotta guarantee you're in good health now." I says, "Look, leave her with me. Come back and see if it stands up. If it stands up, you know I'm in good health." The jerk leaves her. I screw her. Not only that, she likes it. And she tells me when her boss, the jeweller is shipping stones to Holland, where he keeps his stash - in a drawer in the safe - everything! Can't ask for more, right? Except, one better. I never paid the first premium on the new cock policy.

    Max: [laughing] Cock insurance...

    Joe Minaldi: Life is funnier than shit. But... be easy with the girl. I mean that. Be easy with the girl.
