For nearly 4 hours, in Leone's slow and beautiful narration, he performed his life. The pictures are beautiful and shocking, the structure is exquisite, and the soundtrack is extremely moving, which brings people into that dazzling world.
There are too many impressive fragments. The young Deborah used the Bible to say love and rejection to the noodles, the little boy’s heartbreaking eyes; the scene of Dominic’s death, the flute suddenly sounded, strong Powerful shots, so sad; Noodles's painful rape of Deborah is directly ugly and desperate; Little Paige takes cream cake to the prostitute Penney, struggling between the young sexual desire and food The scene full of wonderful imagination in the nursery, and the subsequent dramatic scene in which Kahlo recognizes the man who raped him, the expression of chaos and fate...too much, Leone seems to let go The next ones are all jewels when picked up. The most beautiful details and undisguised ugliness in life are condensed in these four hours, true and profound.
The noodle played by Diño is a character I like very much, and he carries a certain ideal of my world for him. He is a tragic character in real life. He is a primitive animal walking in the real world of reinforced concrete. He has abundant feelings and is doomed to fail. He is violent, he is immoral, he is weak, but he is indeed a pure man, and he is increasingly rare. As his opposite, Maxie is a person who has been alienated by this world: he is a man who can succeed, he is more ruthless, unscrupulous, and more adaptable to the times, but he has lost some of the masculine and even human qualities of noodles. He knows his own deficiency, so maybe he longs for the life of noodles deepest in his heart. I think it makes sense).
In the mythological world, angels have feathered wings. In the real world, angels have metal wings. Noodles is a violent man, but there is still softness and beauty in his heart. He is an angel flying in the real world with feathered wings. We watched his feathers fall, and we watched his pain and loved him so much. .
I don't understand professional movies, and I don't know how to comment. I can only sigh over and over again that the film's picture, lens structure, cut music are so good, but my poor expression can't describe it.
Thanks to these talented people in the world, your excellent books and movies are gifts from God to this world, so that we have a poetic world in addition to this boring life.
