Three reasons to love [America's Past]

By the way, when I went to the director department for an interview, the examiner asked me which movie I liked the most, and my answer was this [American Past]. I have three reasons: First, there are a lot of transition shots in the film, and the time span is as large as 30 years. Each of them can be called a classic (I gave a noodle to the train station to go to Buffalo during the interview); Second, As an Italian, Sergio Leone has never been to the United States, but it is a miracle that he can portray the United States in such a detailed way. His relentless pursuit of art in loneliness, and his tenacious principles of mind, continued to inspire filmmakers later; third, the ending of the film is intriguing, and the smile of noodles in the opium museum thirty years ago is also true? Also magic? Thirty years, is it a momentary illusion, or the noodles caused by a sense of guilt, Borges [scar]-like identity swap? The eternal controversy over the film will keep it alive in the gallop of time. Therefore, the laurel of the epic movie's wonderful work should be worn on the head of [America's Past].

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 part.

Once Upon a Time in America quotes

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.
