Once Upon a Time in America (1984)

Epic, episodic, tale of the lives of a small group of New York City Jewish gangsters spanning over 40 years. Told mostly in flashbacks and flash-forwards, the movie centers on small-time hood David 'Noodles' Aaronson (Robert De Nero) and his lifelong partners in crime; Max (James Woods), Cockeye (William Forsythe) and Patsy (James Hayden) and their friends from growing up in the rough Jewish neighborhood of New York's Lower East Side in the 1920s, to the last years of Prohibition in the early 1930s, and then to the late 1960s where an elderly Noodles returns to New York after many years in hiding to look into the past.

*Tagline: As boys, they made a pact to share their fortunes, their loves, their lives. As men, they shared a dream to rise from poverty to power. Forging an empire built on greed, violence and betrayal, their dream would end as a mystery that refuse to die.
*一部"舒服"的黑幫電影,配上Ennio Morricone的音樂,絕對是最受人囑"耳"的電影之一;為何沒有被Oscar提名呢?因為作業上的疏失,文件出了問題,讓Morricone最優的作品之一,無緣逐鹿中原~
*超超長的時間,共229 min...,中間還出現"中場休息",看了3天~
*導演Sergio Leone(義大利人)的最後一部作品~
