Robert De Niro doesn’t look like a bus driver, but Bikini looks like a gangster

In the last clip, Robert put on a brown suit and tried his best to show the image of a benevolent father, but the yuppie temperament of his underworld saint could not go away as long as he put on a suit. In his first self-directed and self-acted work, he changed his face from the past, and perhaps after showing off the limelight, he also wanted to express or challenge a more real, more grounded and completely different image, especially the phrase " Let him also try to raise his family early in the morning! Those who work are the tough guys!". But his performance can't hold back his solidified underworld face in the eyes of the audience, the kind of underworld big brother who only wore suits in the last century, and the Sicilian elements that he carries in almost all movies, have made him an American. A banner of mafia movies, even the Bronx story is no exception. I have to say that when he was knocked down by Xunni's hand, it was really surprising.

    A story of a child and two fathers. Beatles's soundtrack, slow narrative and gangster atmosphere are exactly the feeling of "Once Upon a Time in America"~ This is definitely an unpopular all-you-can-eat movie~ A five-star recommended movie!

    Although this film was made 20 years ago, although I only watched it today...it's awesome...the feeling of "why didn't I watch it earlier" in my heart is stronger than the feeling of watching "12 Angry Men" a few years ago. Robert De Niro is such a genius - I mean him as a director.
