Every man has an American past in his heart

America's past, I have heard it for a long time, but every time I open it and see the length of four hours, I will inevitably lose the courage to read it! Until recently, I had some spare time and finally finished watching this video! Immerse yourself in the stories of noodles, and don't feel that time is hard at all, it is a man's life, about brothers, friendship, betrayal, redemption! The yellowed picture, the melodious soundtrack, and the relieved smile at the end of the noodles across the gauze, I believe that every man with rich life experience will laugh and cry with this face!
Leon is worthy of being a master of history. With delicate techniques and smooth narrative, the three lines of young, young and old go hand in hand. This tells not only the story of the noodles' life, but also a history textbook of American social changes.
The film uses the Beatles' yesterday as the soundtrack several times, and in the music, there is a review of the past years and the relief of being young. Dreams of life are broken again and again, setbacks and losses come again and again, but in the end, all this will go with the wind, and everything will be relieved!

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.
