    [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...

    I really don't understand why such films and crime films like The Godfather are called must-sees for men? ? Seeing women only as objects of desire is full of the fantasy of straight men's cancer. I wouldn't like a guy who likes this kind of...

    Friendship is still friendship, whether your occupation is gangster or police. What changes are people's desires, and what doesn't change is the friendship in the past, which is why sometimes friendship is great and sometimes very...

    First-class dispatch (the elevator overlooks and rubs the America in the 1920s), first-class feelings (Leone kept De Niro with tears in his eyes, his feelings in the past were ups and downs, returning to childhood through a peephole, and sighing time through a pocket watch), plot The setting is top-notch (the mutual explanation of the two timelines), and the fun is also very good (the prelude to "The Magpie Thief", which is a baby's bag, jokes). Shaohua flows, Jiguang Pianyu's passing,...

    It's pretty good, but the straight male cancer tendency of this film makes me only give 4 stars at...

    [Shanghai Daguangming 4K Extended Edition] Two years later, the theater revisited and felt deeper. Whenever the theme song sounded, tears filled my eyes. The first half of the laugh was filled with tears, and the second half was filled with mixed feelings, as if I had read all the ups and downs of life. Can't get out of the mood of the movie. Morricone’s soundtrack, exquisite multi-line narration and characterization, diverse matching editing, De Niro’s acting skills and Jennifer Connelly’s...

    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...

    Excited in advance, bathing in advance, eating a lot, taking time to make up for sleep, going out at night, going to bed at dawn, staying in the crowd... To me, nothing is more like Chinese New Year than watching an episode of "Once Upon a Time in...

    The whole narrative is structured in an interesting way, and the transition is very good, so it is perfectly feasible to interpret the whole story as a self-deceiving dream of noodles lying in the opium house (a long dream starting from the harsh phone ring) . You have their own merits with the godfather, there is nothing to compare, the past in the United States is more delicate, and girls love to watch a bit more. The relationship between Noodles and Max is going to overflow the screen. Do...

    Take a look at what's more in the 251mins extended version, some analysis in the comments seems to be in vain~

    After reading the comments of "Once Upon a Time in America", it seems that they are all looking at the 229mins version. It should be understood that after the rough cut was completed, the film developed by Sergi Lyon was 10 hours long, and was then reduced to a 6-hour version that he was more...

    You see, Mr secretory, I have a story also, but a little simple than yours. Many years ago I had a friend, a dear friend. I turned him in to save his life, what he was killed. But he wanted it that way. It's greate friendship. Went bad for him, went bad for me too. Good night, Mr Bailey.

Once Upon a Time in America quotes

  • Bugsy: [Bugsy and his gang have beaten Noodles and Max] You don't work for me, you don't work for no-one!

    Young Max: I don't like bosses.

    Bugsy: You'd be better off you stayed in the Bronx.

    Young Max: Woulda been better for *you*, too!

    [Bugsy spits on him, and he and his gang walk off]

    Young Max: I'm gonna kill him one of these days...

    Young Noodles: Yeah? Meanwhile, it looks like he killed US!

  • 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.
