He still didn't quite understand the meaning of death. One of them avenged him, nicknamed Noodles, murdered, and went to jail.
From when I was a teenager, I went in, and when I came out, I was full of people. The other three, under the organization of the oldest MAX, have established a large-scale underworld organization. MAX treats noodles very highly, ranking second. As long as they have money, they have nothing to dare to do. They sell alcohol, rape, rob, and kill. They are getting richer and richer, but their actions and thoughts have already produced disagreement. Apparently Noodles is enjoying what they get, and MAX is clearly aiming high.
MAX wanted to rob a bank because he had a premonition that their good days were coming to an end and they would have no stage to perform. Noodles thought it was a suicide, and in order to stop the operation, he tipped off the police.
When he returned from enjoying the smokehouse, he found that all three of his companions had been shot by the police, and one of them had a bloody face.
He got the key to the safe that held their mutual fund, but there was nothing in it, just a big roll of newspapers. He was being chased all the time, so he left the city.
After 35 years, he came back again. At this time, he was in his old age. He went to the cemetery of three companions to pay homage. He even got a key and used it to open a safe, which contained a box of money.
From the TV, he found that the person with high power and high position was exactly the same as MAX, the first of his three companions who had already passed away.
He found the friends of the previous teenagers, who were not involved in the underworld, so they were able to survive safely. It turns out that MAX is not dead. He designed and killed his own companion 35 years ago, and then took the money to escape. After coming back 15 years later, he has become an exotic wealthy businessman, and he has started to rise in the political arena in New York.
The truth is revealed, MAX asked Noodles to kill himself. They used to grow up together and fought together. Today, his political enemies are going to deal with him, and he will inevitably die, but he is only willing to die under Noodles.
Noodles rejected MAX, determined to let all this pain go away on its own. MAX jumped into the garbage mixer truck that had already been prepared and committed suicide. In his boyhood decades ago, he met Junior Noodles while sitting in a furniture truck.
And the girl Noodles had when he was a teenager, the girl he loved deeply, after he was released from prison, because he would never be able to get her, he raped her in an unbelievable way. The woman left him crying. After 35 years, when he found her again, she had realized her dream of becoming a star through her own efforts. He found that she was unmarried and he was MAX's cohabiting lover. And when they were young, they were two people who hated each other.
Is there everlasting true friendship and love in this world? This film makes people feel very sad. A person's growth, maturity, and aging are full of stories, maybe bloody.
