long and heavy game

Strong film.

There is no comment on what McGee did. This person showed me how crazy a man's romantic delusions of another man can go, and he really made him successful - taking the other man's money, soaking in the other man's woman, hiding by himself Get up and wash your hands and go into politics, and let the other party mistakenly think that he is a sinner who betrayed his friends and live in guilt for decades. Finally, I called the other party in front of me and confessed one by one, gave him a lot of money and a pistol, and said that I am finished now, but I just want to die in your hands. Even if these agencies did not get a bullet from their former friends after all, they should rest their eyes!

Robert De Niro's "Noodles," which feel somewhat in the same vein as his Vito in "The Godfather," are simple and pragmatic. And this time as his opposite, the more complicated and insincere Maxie is more to my liking than Michael of The Godfather—perhaps because he is more ruthless. Although Maxie's face was not very attractive to me at first, the old version appeared with glasses on the back, but it was really cute - the image of a rogue politician who won the cunning and lost calmly.

Thinking about it carefully, "Noodles" is right. Maxie and Deborah are too similar, and they are not destined to like each other, but they both have some kind of obsession with "Noodles". To Deborah, "Noodles" is a lovely person, but since it's a hindrance to her getting to the top, there shouldn't be any deeper connection with him. For Maxie, "noodles" are of course his "oil bottle" for major things, but sometimes he can temporarily leave everything for this "oil bottle" to see the sea. Later, even if he finally got rid of "noodles", there is still a way to let "noodles" live in his shadow all his life.

After the success of the small gang's first business on its own, "Noodles" excitedly threw Maxi into the water. When he couldn't find Maxie in the water and was very anxious, he found that Maxie had already climbed onto the boat by himself, and said to him with a smile, "What would you do without me?" A sip of water was sprayed on the face. When Maxie disappeared from his life for the second time, "Noodles" once again thought he was killed by himself, but he didn't know that this was the second game Maxie played with him, but this time the game was too long and also too heavy.

I have to praise the kid who played the juvenile "noodles", his tone and attitude were simply divine. And Deborah is so pretty, so pretty that there's no dissonance in dancing ballet around a flour sack.

    [Great] 251-minute director's cut version, lamenting that Leon has made the film to the extreme in multiple dimensions: the ultimate image sensory mobilization, so that it is not limited to sight and hearing; in a slow and orderly rhythm, all past events are recalled It has been restored and given life as much as possible, so that it is no longer just a "memories"; it is almost impossible to use rational thinking to generalize, discuss or summarize the film; and emotionally, this film gives you the intuitive feeling It will also change as the years go by. All in all, if you're looking for a "cinematic" answer, go to Once Upon a Time in America, because it has all the answers you're looking for.

    What's so good about this movie? Where is the past? What else is there except love? Where is the friendship between Noodles and Max? Why are so many hidden stories in film reviews so high if not everyone can see it? I admit that the characterization of teenagers is really wonderful, but you have 4 hours, why can't you tell the story? If it is really regarded as a classic because of the difference between men and women, then the difference is really such a big one.

  • [Deborah cleans up the bar while the rest of the family is out. Noodles walks in]

    Young Deborah: What are you doing?

    Young Noodles: Give me a drink.

    Young Deborah: We're closed. Nice people don't drink on Pesach, they go to the synagogue.

    Young Noodles: So what are YOU doing here?

    Young Deborah: Somebody's got to keep an eye on the place. There are a lot of thieves out there. One could get into your house.

    Young Noodles: Especially if you leave the door open.

    Young Deborah: You can pray here too. Here or in the synagogue, to God it's the same difference. Come over here and sit down...

  • Young Max: From here on, we establish the shared funds of the gang. They belong to all of us together, and to none of us alone. And we solemnly swear to put in 50 per cent of everything we make. Agreed?
