Classic mafia movie that IMDb loves to overrate. Had to skip some parts because 4 hours is unbearable to watch.
Years without seeing it and we liked it, what it tells, how it tells, the soundtrack of the great Ennio Morricone.
So overrated! Jewish gangsters that look talk and act as Sicilians. The hero that has been loving some for 20 years and rapes her savagely 3 minutes after their first kiss. Another raped girl that enjoys her raping. Friends that interact with each other without talking, only staring at themselves in the eyes for minutes. Not for nothing that it got so bad critics when it was released.
"Noodles, I slipped" :(
"Go on Noodles your mother is calling"
Once upon in mid this movie sucks dont watch or do if you suck
The American propaganda machine has done a wonderful job of making predatory humanoid parasites attractive, as in this movie. They also do this with real predators, like with marginal Nazis in Eastern Europe
Like a rim job: enjoyable but a little sloppy in the end.
... And I have.... ;-)
A masterpiece, everything is perfect, full of layers of complexity and transcends any genre. The focus is entirely on the characters, who are outstanding and drive the whole story. The stages of their lives are presented in a fluid, sometimes non-linear way, but all very well put together and coherent. The cinematography is amazing, there's always an air of melancholy and heaviness, even in quieter scenes. A great movie that manages to be brutal, beautiful, disturbing, revolting and fascinating all at the same time.
Great story, the characters were interesting. It was too long however.
Sergio Leone really had the most famous actor in the world at that time perform two separate rape scenes……
DUDES ROCK!
Quite an impressive film with a soundtrack that's just as good. Sure, I'm not always too positive about long movies and even though this is one hell of a sitting, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. That's all because of the amazing story and performances. I wouldn't say that the time flies by, but it's one hell of an accomplishment that I enjoyed this the way that I did.
Finally got round to watching it and what better way than with the extended 251-minute cut (the closest we've ever gotten to a 'director's cut') in an oldschool cinema on the big screen. Even had an intermission. T'was beautiful.
This film is too grand to sum up quickly but it's actually insane how every theme here is perfectly executed. It has many scenes that I'd consider among the best I've seen in a long while and Ennio Morricone's score is jaw-droppingly emotive.
I only saw it today but I can already feel it has that 'classic movie' feeling of the movie getting better and better in my head the more days pass.
I don't like the underage stuff, even if they are acting. I know they were adults while filming, but they are supposed to be minors in the movie.
Fictional biography of an Italian-American gangster.
Amazing music, scenography and photos of old New York.
[Amazon] A masterpiece. Jewish gangsters in New York. Fragmented narrative, like memory. What is real and what are hallucinations? Time and regrets. Future dreamed. "This is the way I see the things". The price of friendship is the price of power. Ennio Morricone brings nostalgic beauty. In the end, we are left with a melancholic feeling. This is not cinema. This is poetry.
I can watch this film over and over again

One of my all time favorites. If you ask me it's both Leone's and De Niro's best. Most people remember De Niro as Jimmy the Gent, Jake LaMotta, Travis Bickle, or young Vito Corleone, but to me he will always be David "Noodles" Aaronson, streetwise Jewish kid from the Lower East Side turned criminal kingpin. The famed "European Cut" is great, but if possible go after the 251 minute directors cut. You'll be glad you did.
