"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.

Once Upon a Time in America quotes

  • Deborah Gelly: Age can wither me, Noodles. We're both getting old. All that we have left now are our memories. If you go to that party on Saturday night, you won't have those anymore. Tear up that invitation.

  • Deborah Gelly: Noodles... you're the only person that I have ever...

    Noodles: Ever what?

    Noodles: Go ahead, ever what?

    Deborah Gelly: ...that I ever cared about. But you'd lock me up and throw away the key, wouldn't you?

    Noodles: Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

    Deborah Gelly: Yeah... and the thing is, I probably wouldn't even mind.

    Noodles: So?

    Deborah Gelly: So... I got to get to where I'm going.

    Noodles: And where's that?

    Deborah Gelly: To the top.

    Noodles: Now you sound just like Maxie. You's both alike, that's why you hate each other.
