Two Implied Plots in "Once Upon a Time in America"

When I was at home, I found out the disc of "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​and read it carefully. I found two plots that I didn't pay attention to before. They are foreshadowings laid by the director. Record them here. I hope someone likes this one as well. People in the movie can see it. 1. Keyword: Buffalo city buffalo city In the first half of the film, noodles went to the train station and bought the first random train ticket when their three companions died and were hunted down. The destination was Buffalo; when I saw the middle of the film , I saw that when they were young, they made the first pot of gold in the gang. When they went to the bank to deposit the box, the background sound was the time of the broadcast train, and it was clear that the broadcast was buffalo city... 2. Key words : 26 When noodles was released from prison, Max drove a hearse to pick him up. There was a naked woman in the car. Max arranged to accompany the noodles to sleep. When the noodles got in the car, Max deliberately lied to him and said it was a dead body. "How beautiful, he died at the age of 26..." Later, there was a scene. When noodles went to see the tombstones of his three friends, the year of birth and death made it clear that all except Max died at the age of 26. Re-watching the movie, although I found these two foreshadowings, what impressed me the most was not only the director’s concealment, but also the deepest enlightenment. The questions that I didn’t understand at the beginning were answered, such as how about max. I arranged noodles to make the call step by step, and let him live in guilt for the rest of his life. Many of the shots in it were very clear, but the first time I saw it, I might have missed it because he was not so careful. In fact, the director has expressed the max's step-by-step planning process as clearly as possible without showing any traces. Another new discovery. From the beginning, he felt that Max’s feelings for noodles were a bit abnormal. He either liked noodles, which was similar to bl, or he felt that noodles were the embodiment of male power in his mind, a height he could not reach, so he was right. He loves and hates, and the second time I see it, my feelings are deepened. The evidence is as follows: Whenever noodles are with women, Max always shows jealous looks, such as noodles and Deborah, and noodles and peggy are the first. When making love this time, even when noodle was raping Carol, his face was so gloomy; my personal opinion: Max’s sexual function may be problematic. When he and noodles were beaten and beaten by another gang at Deborah’s house as a teenager, It is obvious that he has suffered a lot of damage to his lower body. When he had sex with Peggy, he couldn't get into the state for a long time, and all women who have a relationship with noodles would get involved or even take away. Peggy is like this, carol In this way, Deborah, the noodles' favorite, eventually became his wife. In order to avenge the dead brother, noodles stabbed the murderer and the policeman like a madman. At that time, Max’s face was surprised and envy. He could not save himself for friendship, because he was ambitious. It's not like noodles who put friendship above all else and work hard to do it, he can never do this, so he is ashamed of himself compared to noodles. For noodles, the two things that touched him the most were that when the little brother was dying, he just said: "i slip (I slip)... And Max jokingly said: "Take off your pants and wash another one." Noodles was very angry and said, "What do you mean, another one?" And here Max said something meaningful: "That is a long story. (Long story) "Combined with the first point, my feeling is that it was not the noodles who watched Debra dancing in the tavern that day. Max knew Debra before he knew noodles. The person who asked her after Debra went out was Max. ;, and the max picture of debra undressing show pp was definitely seen, so he said to noodles, "Take off your pants and take another one". Combining the plot of noodles and debra reading the Bible in the dancing warehouse but being interrupted and called away by Max, Max is absolutely familiar with the structure of this tavern and took a peek many times. I think the most complicated person should be Max. After all, his family has a history of mental illness. Hehe 20160630: I updated it again after many years. This is a film review I wrote a long time ago. There may be some far-fetched places in it, but it was not at the time of writing. Expecting such a big response, thank you all.

20180124: Update again after two years:

Recently, I read "The Past in Leone" (Guangxi Normal University Press). This book was written by French film critic and film scholar Noël Simsolo and the director of "My Past in America" ​​Sergio Lay. An interview with Onnet talked about his life and creation. It mentioned the scene in which Noodles raped Debra in the movie. The director’s explanation is basically the same as my experience of watching the movie at the time. There is a kind of sudden finding of evidence that I can send to everyone to explain Chang Shuyi Happy tone. The movie is actually an IQ struggle between the audience and the director. Without the aid of any material or background, I was completely blank at the time and could understand the director's intentions. It was actually a great honor to experience the mood of Noodles. Of course, in the comments, I also read that many fans questioned me (Leone confessed that his scene was also criticized by feminists). I wanted to explain it in words in the past, but I always felt that it might not help to reverse everyone. Now that the director has appeared to speak, everyone can judge by themselves.

Recently, Bamboo is making a short video of a movie talk show (now I found that it is still interesting to edit the screen and comments). Basically, the content will be placed in its own WeChat account astrobamboo. If you are interested, you can pay attention to it, okay! The latest video number: AHTV Zhu Qiqi
