"Once Upon a Time in America" begins with "Once Upon a Time in America". At that time, I asked a classmate to borrow a disc. After I took a bunch of junk, he finally couldn't help but help me choose ten films, including this famous gangster film. The first time I saw it, it was fragmented and half-understood. So I looked for a movie reviewer, and while comparing the detailed storyline, my head reflected the relevant pictures, all kinds of foreshadowing, and the arrangement of the grass snake and gray line. I read that article very slowly. After reading it, it was as if I replayed the movie in my head, and I understood the whole story without reading it a second time. This kind of magical feeling has never been seen again. Although my memory for images is quite good, in the case of incomprehension, I can remember almost all of the four hours of pictures, most of which are due to the refinement and depth of the film itself, and its power to reach people's hearts. Its narrative pace is slow and even protracted, but there is absolutely no nonsense.
