    somehow it might sound odd but i think the america-released shorter one might be better by devoloping in chronicles.

    i have no problem with its negative female roles like prostitutes since it was true in that period with gangsters. BUT i do have a complaint of its over-referenced misogynism, even misogynism is one facet of the dark sides among the gangsters, don't you think the occurence of contempting women appears kinda too often? lines like "put a cork in her" which means rape her from behind even that woman seems to fake being raped but actually she enjoys it. it's like every ten mins, i could spot a perversely deragatory comment upon woman. i think it's ok to bare this dark side, but it might be better if sergio lowdowns this over-usage of misogynism (de niro's character seems like a compulsive serial rapist who also ravishes the one-girl he loves since adolescence)to a limit but developes more on the other sides of this gendre. and i do feel wasteful that joe patsy doesn't have more scenes and he seems so talentedly right in this gendre, i believe the movie would be more colorful with more of his performances.

    personally i think good fellas or any work from martin scorsesse such as "casino" is much better than "once upon a time in america" despite they're also misogynistic (but to appropriate degree of reality without overdose)

    Noodles: "nobody’s gonna love you the way i loved you"

    Deborah bu sozun carpici gercekligine katlanamaz, onunla yuzlesmek istemez ve sozun uzerine "Yarin Hollywood’a gidecegim, buraya bunu sana soylemeye geldim" der. Noodles yikilir, buz olur. Askini anlattigi kadin gidecektir.

    ..Sofor arabayi kullanmaktadir. Onlar arkadadirlar. Deborah Noodles’ı oper, Noodles da ona karsilik verir. Ama Noodles cok soguktur. Yuzunde nefret vardir. Ve onu terkeden Deborah'a buyuk bir nefretle, intikam alircasina tecavuz eder, Deborah butun gucuyle direnir, bagirir ama ona engel olamaz. Tecavuzun igrencligi, zor ve siddet duygusu; film icindeki suresinin uzunluguyla da iliskili olarak yogunluguna gecer bize. Sofor gec de olsa arabayi durdurur. Noodles disari cikar, pantolununu ilikler ve yurur. Deborah’ın ruhu parçalanmıştır...

    Sonra ikisini birlikte tren garinda goruruz. Noodles Deborah'i yakalayamaz ve Deborah'i vagonun icinde otururken gorur ve Deborah onun yuzune caminin perdesini kapatir...

    This was Sergio leone's last film- and it's a whopper, the full version is four hours in length. The film looks at the lives of two gangsters during three periods of their lives, early 20s, in 1933 and in 1968, intercutting between them. The period reconstruction is brilliant, and the music perfectly compliments the superb acting by Robert De Niro and James Woods.
    However, it should be noted that this is not a film for the faint of heart- these are cruel and horrid characters- there are two rape scenes which are perhaps amongs the most horrifying ever filmed.
    But just take in the masterwork of a great director who had been planning it all of his life. Take in the brilliant acting, directing and that infamous opening with it's endlessly ringing phone!
    The ending is perfect!
