Noodles... I slipped.

When director Sergio Leone's brother-in-law introduced him to "The Hoods," an autobiographical novel about New York's Jewish gangsters, he immediately thought it was a good point of view to express a European's view of America in order to complete his "The Hoods." American Trilogy. However, I didn’t expect that good things would come and go. It took nearly ten years to fight for the right to adapt the novel. After that, a total of 6 screenwriters, including the director himself, revised the...

deceive and deceive

When the self-blaming old Mai Da disappeared into the stirring of the garbage truck, the aged Noodle's complexion became a little blank. At this moment, his face that has suffered from vicissitudes of life is being illuminated more clearly and clearly by a flashlight in the passing young people's motorcade, and his eyes reach the infinite distance with the backs of the young people. Finally, the eyes returned to the self-"I am old".

Light and shadow are the materials of time, and...

Once Upon a Time in America Film Review (1) Plot Summary

This is actually a better gangster movie than The Godfather trilogy.
 Excluding plot factors first, any movie in the "Once upon a Time in America" ​​and "The Godfather" trilogy is more than two and a half hours long, and the theatrical version of Once upon a Time in America reaches three and a half hours. Twenty-eight minutes an hour. Neither film adopts the fast-paced narrative style of the storm: directors back then had more sculptural power than today's directors, using loops and...

I'm just reposting it for myself

When sorting out the clippings of the movie pictures in the early years, I turned to Elizabeth Taylor in "Lacey the Dog" (1945 version). At the age of 12, she exuded a kind of innocent beauty, and then, at the age of 12, she also had Jennifer Connelly, who has performed well and was known as "Little Taylor", came to mind, playing the young Daisy in the 1984 film "Once Upon a Time in America". Bora, the scene where she practiced her dance alone in the warehouse, is an eternal image that many...

The four-hour full version of "The Four Seas Brothers"

After reading Mafia Brothers aka America's Past, it's really half of the classics, and then it's gone. When writing the script, you should consider the length of the film. This kind of epic film, looking back on the infinite beauty of youth for many years, is now only melancholy. I feel that the structure and soundtrack were later borrowed to make a new paradise that is not epic at all. The common point is that the second half of the film was cut miserably.

The previous opening is the...

I hate all the movies and literature that cleans up hooligans, etc. hooligans are hooligans, those who applaud will not be sheltered, but ordinary people who are killed at will on the streets. . The three views in this film are extremely wrong, and the uglifying imagination of China reached a disgusting level in 1984, making people think that this is an 1884...

I always felt that it was an obligation to watch the extended version plus 25 minutes of beauty on the big screen. I didn't see how I could be worthy of Leonne, who died because of this film, and how dare I say I love movies. When I watched the street walking around 1:00 am, I deeply realized that the more than four hours in the studio just now was a reunion through time and dimension. As if the dance, the bridge, the swirling music, the feeling of looking back, everything seems to have...

Was fooled back then. It is now almost certain to be the culmination of the worst male narratives. Each of the men in it is disgusting. The so-called legend is nothing more than a greedy lust for power and a hymn of cruelty to others, and then treats women as trophies like money and power. It's still tragic, and it's still reminiscent. Hurry up and bury it underground to rot. A plate of brightly colored shit is shit after all, and at the heart of this movie is a long rape. These dog things...

Rewatch the Director's Cut at HKIFF in 2015. It is too promiscuous, and the rhythm is completely out of control. The children's performance is very fake, it is an overrated...
