Deborah's Theme - Once Upon A Time In America (Ennio Morricone)

[HardCandy092]

If I had a wedding this song would be played.

[TheOVERLOFT]

a masterpiece, music, film, performance, just great, one of the great movie

[rifle2701]

the musical score matches the emotion of the entire movie better than any other movie i've ever seen.  simply a masterpiece!!!! "noodles, i slipped"

[RyanMcCarvill]

Crying isn't my thing - but by the end I was in tears. A great story about memory and regret. Fucking masterpiece.

[crunchyvidsbro]

One of the best film's ever but has to be the best score hands down

[Bouncybon]

You're all SO right! OUATIA really is one of the greatest, most moving, most astonishing, films ever made. Magnificent acting, profound and tragic story, exquisite, most perfect musical score.

Did you know that the Director (Leone) and the Composer (Morricone) went to school together? They knew each other as kids! That tells you a lot.

It is Number One on my list of the world's greatest films. (And the Hollywood moguls hated it.)

No film has ever moved me s deeply as this. A true Masterpiece.

[monteoly]

iam in love.

[philemin1]

fav film of all time,along with once upon a time in the west and fistful of dynamite,the soundtracks are amazing,and they always bring a rear to my eyes no matter where i am,even got the soundtrack on cd for the car,proper love it,cant stop playin it.

[sugreev2001]

One of the most beautiful movies ever.I wish Sergio Leone was still alive to see the love his films get.

[0808mmirr]

セルジオリオーネ至高の映画。

I just think this is one of the best movies I have ever seen.

[TheLizardKing94]

I play Worl of Warcraft.

[jester11235]

Easily the best movie of all time

[SabonninFilms]

perfect film..masterpiece

[ondasuondaable]

this is one of the best movies ever.Greetings from Italy

[XakerArt]

i cryed when little boy was killed ...

[redsaviom]

masterpiece......

[strange6]

Quite simply a piece of musical genius complimenting a masterpiece of film making. Will never be bettered in my humble opinion

[TheKittenscat]

I watched this film ages ago, but the music is captivating, i listen to it over and over in all the different versions it is fantastic.

[MrSfdicky]

phoenix ure a prick

[fatterhojben]

That picture of the boys under the bridge makes me cry.. its fucking beautiful.

[jongary616]

A most haunting and whimsical melody; as is the movie decorated by Morricone's scores. What a wonderful tale of life, death and reflection.

[luuuciaz]

In my opinion 8 people press the wrong button! How can't they like this amazing song!!

[Metenawy214]

I'm 20 years old. One of *today generatuon*

This movie is a timeless masterpiece.

No other picture touched my emotion like this

R.I.P leone and longlive De Niro

[artagnan62]

al recuerdo de ella, a quien tanto ame.

[MOTHMAN225]

I want this music to play when my bride walks down the aisle.

[KikaGee]

thers a reason why Il Volo took the melody of this song for "E piu Ti Penso" Ennio Morricone is just an amazing Composer... this is truly beautiful and the Film is too..

[optimismbreedsgrowth]

I love this so much it makes me wanna cry!

[belmir88]

Have anybody heard something beautiful like that before???

I don´t think so, it´s sooooooo wonderful, i love it for ever and ever!

Thank you god for Ennio Morricone, he is the greatest of all time

[titereburn]

I hope De Niro was always young so he can make masterpieces like this movie.

[beautyonthetvscreen]

This song is a masterpiece. When the ladys vocals come in, I loose it. Beautiful...

[mcbalat]

7 people have no soul...

[hasoi1]

This music reminds me a period in my life I so loved, why can't I get back to this period?

[aaaaa895]

The best movie of the 20s centry. I have seen this movie back in 80s. Today generation would never ever understand this movie. Everyone or anybody who wants to know what really is life is all about, once upon a time in america is the answer. I am so happy that I was a part of generation of 70s and 80s. It was a such great time.

[AkaMouTinn]

Almost all of the greatness in this world is constantly beeing created by men. Women are constantly staring at men like hopeless childs not able to fully understand the imaginary emotions. Yet everything is created for them without them ever realising the amount of truth that is beeing enclosed in these feelings. And still, all broken hearts in this world are due to women's feebleness. Their inner denial to exist equal to men which prevents them from loving them equally true.

[joopvanthofff]

I have watched thousands of movies, but no movie will be as perfect as this one. This is my number 1, a true masterpiece.

[aaaaa895]

@joopvanthofff

i totally agree with you

[MGSmucker64]

I dont think any song has ever has given me so much emotion

[ProgettoMigala]

Italians do it better: Great Cinema...Great Sergio Leone...Great Morricone's music.

[takeahint123]

Best child actors of any movie EVER.

i had the misfortune to watch this, then couple days later watched the first harry potter film.

it wasn't even laughably bad in comparison

[TheCondello]

THe first film to make me cry since I was born.



[gsheringham]

Tears pouring down your cheeks, that soundtrack, the story and the acting over 3 hours of sheer brilliant cinema. A masterpiece and it does make you relate to your own life. Love and betrayal you really feel for these people and spanning several decades its even more emotional. But that score has anyone ever written something so beautiful for a film. Ennio Morricone brought something special to this film and it would be very hollow without his magic. Sergio and Ennio I love you

[23birchenlea]

I love this film, it always keeps me enthralled right through. The acting is superb and the music makes my hair stand on end. I agree with a previous comment that it hurts the soul.

[WarThug13]

i want to fucking cry right now, I have never. ever. cried during a movie

what a masterpiece

[ThePhrozenPhoenix]

@WarThug13 If you loved this then you really ought to watch Once Upon a Time in the West (also by Sergio Leone). That is possibly my all time favorite film.

[WarThug13]

@ThePhrozenPhoenix yeah I've seen it, along with most other of leone's films, I didnt like it much at all, it had some nice moments, but overall I cant say I liked it

[Clarknipolo]

@WarThug13 figlio di puttana sono italiano questo è stato il piu' gran bel film della storia del cinema italiano noi abbiamo fatto l'america gli italiani emigrati... americano di merda figlio di puttana...

[a0danl3ah]

Doesn't this particular scene integrate you so much that you become the young Noodles. Each time I see this movie I relive my youth through the eyes of DeNiro as he captures his past through a missed opportunity. We have all been there - we really don't appreciate the things we lost - inspite of never really having them. Morricone's brilliance enriches us all with solemnity and imagination - a true genius!

[TheUltimateJordan]

This is not just a movie, this work of art, after seeing it hurts the soul, probably because the music in conjunction with the arts and to affect our soul and it is very rare in world cinema

[Boss6907160]

Agreed, it takes its place amongst the greatest. It makes demands of the audience in that you have to be ready to receive it. It took me two times to appreciate its brilliance. The same happened for the Deer Hunter. Both films are slow burns but reward the patient. Outstanding, outstanding.

[a0danl3ah]

I accidently kicked off two versions of Deborah's Theme (this one and varadero1839) within a couple of seconds of each other and the outcome was unbelievable. I got real lucky with how they harmonised... but in my opinion I think it brought something different to a very beautiful piece of music. Right up there with Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings

[Bouncybon]

One of the greatest films ever made. Even with its few flaws, it is a masterpiece.

It is impossible to imagine this great, mysterious story without Morricone's breath-taking music. The sadness chokes you with hot tears.

[Kohl423]

The scenes are intended o convey the complexity of noodles character. In the real world many things are not entirely black or white. Sometimes good people do bad things and sometimes bad people do something good. Life is greyer than we assume.

[mrbilsy]

Amazing movie my fav film ever

[theRodney02]

one of DeNiro's best picture I highly recomend seeing it if you haven't

[mrbeanchannel]

This movie has one weakness - the sex scenes!!! This movie had so much going for it including: Ennio Morricone's music, Sergio Leone's directing, actors like Robert De Niro. Violence, not a problem. Scene Rambo 4 and other such epic movies. But the sex, please! I have no idea what Leone was thinking. That's what made his westerns awesome. He made Clint Eastwood mysterious instead of adding grotesque scenes. But, the music is great. Well done Ennio!

[7927jackpark]

Does everyone know Leone did a cameo in one scene of this classic, portraying the ticket agent? I like to watch this movie for the beautiful score. The Director's Cut is longer and much better.

[MOTHMAN225]

]hhhh

[MOTHMAN225]

This film is added to my "to see list". Tomorrow's goal: watch this film.

[xaxie1]

@MOTHMAN225

Just a word of warning.

Incase you don't like the film or don't understand it when you watch it, It is one of those films that you need to watch again to understand.

What I would say is, Watch it once, then come back to it again in a month or so time and you will find it magnifcent :D

[MOTHMAN225]

@xaxie1 That's funny you say that. The story makes sense to me, but I found how the film progressed was terrible. Teen prostitution, two rape scenes that go on and on and on, an elongated scene of a kid eating a desert with blaring music, etc. Leone should've kept his focus on just the story; not gratitutous sex and violence; and I've seen my fair share of violent movies--this is up there. I also could not stand Elizabeth McGovern, such a horrible actress. I love Sergio, but his westerns are god

[britnellthebeast]

@MOTHMAN225

While I kind of agree with what you said about the actress, I disagree with the notion that the films progression is 'terrible'. Yes it is violent and at time sexually violent, but all of these factors do indeed focus on the story and add to the narrative.

The scene where a young Patsy eats a desert with 'blaring music' is SO important. Either way I'm glad you liked it, one of my all time favorite films

[atecin888]

@xaxie1 I agree with you. When I purchased the DVD and saw the deleted rape scene, at first I was horrified because it made me violently HATE Noodles when I so loved his character before I knew the extent of how he hurt the only woman he loved. Then later, I watched it again and fell in love with him all over. I just felt tragic in how you can love AND hate someone at the same time.

[MandelbudetReturns]

@MOTHMAN225 I hope you liked it :)

[MantschAdrian]

movies like this are constantly reminding you that Cinema truly is The Seventh Art and in my opinion the best one of all 7. A good production ,and by good I mean well directed, well played and an amazing soundtrack, can transmit very strong emotions in a very unique and powerful way.

does anyone think that maybe the cinema and film in general is just the logical evolution of 75000 years of culture into the most amazing form of art?

[Jack90XD1]

@johana78ful Predivan film sa divnom pricom i jos boljom muzikom. Remek delo Morikonea

[johana78ful]

@johana78ful пре четри месеца ја сам написала овај коментар и један дечко ми је одговорио на њега, латиноцом, па га ја сад молим да ми се јави мој телефон је 0112635729 Тијана Булатовић, јави ми се макар као пријатељ, пуно те поздрављам

[satmoore3381]

-You can always tell the winners from the starting gate.

- Age can not wither her, it's like it was written for her

Noodles always did have a way with words!! OUATIA for life!

[Raoh]

So in this film did noodles rape her or was it all a dream when he was in his crack den.

[johnkane1992]

@Raoh yes he did , fuck max !! noodles is the man

[satmoore3381]

@Raoh you can believe what you want to believe. I'd like to think he did because I dont want the movie to be a dream. Leone is dead so we will probably never know.

[NeverAloneForever]

@Raoh Sometimes I wonder if he did half of the things he did and what if something more strange happened.

[Astrosquall]

Time has withered me Noodles

[Microglia1]

This made me cry because this movie is essentially about the dreams of children, something we all have growing up. What became of that dream, whether it was ever achieved, whether it was achieved and not what we expected, or whether it was achieved immorally, we remain ourselves best critic. What is beautiful is the journey, and for me personally, that journey coincides that with Noodles, for I am not the man I wanted to be but I too get old.

[Absolute999us]

A legendary movie, a legendary music...

[baredwin]

yeah...a strange feeling of kind of contentment calm little bettr than reading the pocketbook version for we all know reading it stil lack the sense of hearing though both vision senses are present in reading the book and listening to this..simple math more senses are being used here than just reading the book though the expereince in reading the story is kind of exhilirating too

[baredwin]

wonder how composer do their job...music on movies heigtened to the max one's emotional pickup the total experience..it's the closet you can be with the sitiation in the movie scene as if you are really there and is the one acting or it or the one in the real situation not the movies..this theme song is a clear example tightened up my chest, crazily thinkin im having a heart attack as if Ive experience b4...silent movies during charlie chaplin surely misses a lot though at that time if dont matr

[patrick6662]

92af I agree with you - it is a masterpiece hich never recieved its full due

[92af]

Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the greatest movies of all time

[lonewolfmiles]

This music, the memory of the movie and Deborah's innocent face make tears swell up in my eyes..

A true ode to innocence forever lost.

[charliecylus]

thumbs up when you here this soundtrack you want to watch the movie.

[Fzed89]

one of the best soundtrack ever composed!

Proud to be Italian like Ennio Morricone 

[lonewolfmiles]

@Fzed89 It amazes me when people try to associate themselves with others based on nationality, color, or race.. You're just another one of 6 billion, he was not. Until you distinguish yourself accordingly, don't diverge his greatness onto you, he's the source, you're a mere self-perceived reflection.

[lespinasse100]

6 autists people can't hear the song well so they think it s bad...

[elitestar]

this and once upon a time in the west are the best movies ever made in the world

[strangeTomas555]

amazing ... both cinema and music...

[TManningWriter]

When asked what movie and score I would be perusing, if only one and once, this is what I would select. The movie, and this theme reinforcing it, present one with the maximum levels of love and tenderness; also with horrendous samples of violence and rape. As in describing the human race...

[Quax2009]

Wunderschoen! Danke, Maestro!

[Moviefan7359]

A musical masterpiece. Totally fitting piece for a masterpiece such as 'Once Upon A Time in America'. Ennio Morricone is a modern day Beethoven.

[caricature621]

ça me relaxe à un point super cool.

[MrPhepino]

Per quella percentuale di persone a cui non piace questa Sinfonia: Ma che campate a fare?

[shmygolas]

if God was a composer, he would be Ennio Morricone

[Lloydkush18]

This Soundtrack reminds me Band Of Brothers soundtrack !

[Ortetan]

So Beautiful!!!!



[MandelbudetReturns]

Bugsy created 6 accounts to dislike this video 6 times.

[Sulacolol]

WONDERFUL!



[JACKWILSON20101]

im 15 and its 2011 i love this movie and the soundtrack one of the best films ive seen and own will be passed on to my children ect. :)

[Xlabi]

Epic!!!

[thelupoistheman1]

God, I remember the scene with this beautiful piece of work playing when young Deborah wouldn't let young Noodles into her restaurant after he just got the shit kicked out of him by Bugsy. Noodles tells Deborah to open the door, but she just stands there, completely heartbroken. Amazing acting by Jennifer Connelly. Its like she knows she can't love Noodles because he is so dedicated to his friends.

[fedtho]

@thelupoistheman1

I was 18 when I saw this... and precisely that scene is the one that stayed with me, joy and bitter loss, went on *haunting* me (...and made me fall in love with Jennifer Connelly for the rest of my life ;-) ...I remember I was so delighted when I saw her in "The $treet", a dark humored show about traders on FOX that got cancelled after 11 episodes... Never made it onto DVD of course. It can be looked up on imdb, careful to spell $treet with the dollar symbol!)

[shambles84]

@thelupoistheman1 such a good way of explaing it m8 my fav film ever plus the music score

[martinbeckthefirst]

@thelupoistheman1 yea I agree a quality of acting that is rare and welcome !

[mikeslagelse4200]

beautifull,the song of all times

[JANPressPub]

This is probably one of the most beautiful movie themes of all times. It's amazing that Mr. Morricone can evoke such emotion and passion all within major key. What a gifted writer. I get choked up every time I hear this beautiful piece of music.

[MegaMikey2121]

i have the ennio morricone theme tunes on one album. you can buy it v cheap if you shop around. play.com.etc.

[zitronenroller]

I am close to tears, what else can I say. ........epic

[AleIlCubo]

Grazie ad Ennio, Sergio, Dario, Gian Maria, Vittorio, Roberto, Federico, Rita, Antonio, Fernanda ed a tutti gli altri che illuminano un poco questo paese di merda. Grazie per renderci fieri di essere italiani.

[lamona765]

muy hermoso

I understand that the female vocal was Sissel . I've heard her perform this,and it was absolutely ethereal.

[Gurdow]

If you don't cry when you listen to this, something is wrong with your eyes

[GamerX7800X]

This movie has one of the best soundtracks ever!

[alaxyoung1]

Do I ever let you down?

[xaxie1]

This is much better than that, Do do do dooooooo da do do da do do da dododoooo theme that all the other videos have lol

[thespotteddog]

Butchered, diced, sliced and put in limited release.  What a shame for perhaps the most underrated movie of modern times.

[C4SINISTAH]

punch another hole in your vagina for that one sweet Beaucumonsieur.

[sugarplumfairiie]

The music that made the movie.

I fell in love with it the first time I heard it.

[alinaallya]

love it!

[felaga25]

Best Films and soundtracks sinds 20years I have this one

and I never have enough

Why I don't know It is just magic

Thank you Mr Morricone

[Raoh]

The 6 people who didnt like this got raped in a car by there child hood sweet heart.

[zlovrosr]

dont be a fool captain buck....you kepp those ennio cd's on your shelf at all time...and be proud of it...and that its it...

[CapTainBuckAHOE]

im love old school and underground rap, indie bands, i LOVE classical music. I love ennio morricone his music always inspires me and makes my mind explore the corners of my imagination. i drive around and i blast hardcore hip hop but i do as well, and nobody knows of this, have a cd thats all just ennio morricone. and ive got it stashed in my glove compartment hidden with no label on it. and when the time is right and im alone i put that cd in on a late night drive home.

[felaga25]

@CapTainBuckAHOE

Like me and i understand you

we are victims from a luxe and nice music

100% top

[BiNiSSiO]

Обожаю !

[mollypie10]

A brilliant film and a brilliant score.

[4Fintan]

This music is very moving and yet very beautiful at the same time. Whenever I hear it, I'm reminded of the scene from the film in Grand Central Station where Deborah departs on the train leaving Noodles on the platform. All of the music that accompanies this film is just incredible.

[baggykev]

6 people do not like this.I love all types of music and cannot believe someone would go out of their way to post a negative comment,Morricone BRILLIANT.!!!!!!!!

[MrBigjuarez]

I saw this movie for the first time when i was like 15 (15 years ago). I woke up in the middle of the night and this movie was playing on a movie channel. I saw Robert De Niro so i thought this was gonna be a good movie but what really kept me watching was the MUSIC. This movie has some of the best music ever composed. Great movie!!! Great music!!!

[artagnan62]

en el fondo, detras de esta musica esta ese sentimiento grandioso llamado amor.

[artagnan62]

los intereses prevalecen aun sobre el amor,deborah trata de ocultar el hijo del hombre que ama.

[Hoosty999]

a modern classic from a classically modern composer ....what can a down to earth person say about an out of this world composer..god bless morricone..and if there is a god i would like to think that he has morricone by his side helping him compose tunes that are fit for heaven itself...

[reculture]

@Hoosty999 that was like best comment in history of youtube. peace & light

[Billcruxley]

@Hoosty999

Ennio Morricone isn't dead.

[Gmmof]

@Hoosty999 Heaven can wait.

[Robotman]

@Hoosty999 that was beautiful. and totally agreed.

[xaxie1]

@Hoosty999 HAHAH, Absotively, if anyone were God's Composer, it would be Morricone!

[artagnan62]

insuperable, magnifica.

[artagnan62]

NUNCA TERMINARE DE ESCUCHARLA.

[javiernunoblanco]

SIMPLEMENTE PRECIOSA.

HAY QUE ESCUCHAR LA RIQUEZA DE NOTAS INSTRUMENTALES DE LA CANCIÓN E IMAGINARSE LAS SECUENCIAS DEL FILM DE SERGIO LEONE, CON LOS OJOS CERRADOS

[derrenvictorbrown]

It's was always my favorite Movie, and i'm just 22 years old! I have a good taste for movies

Robert De Niro was fantastic in that movie!

[MrBigjuarez]

@derrenvictorbrown TRULY ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER. A TRUE MASTERPIECE!!!

[derrenvictorbrown]

@MrBigjuarez Indeed!

[sealed54]

@derrenvictorbrown The movie soundtrack by Ennio Morricone was my first attraction.. but I also found the movie to be a draw...Robert De Niro was a an immediate draw as an a class A actor ...Loved this film

[tiggerperfferle]

wonderful work - v happy to own this album

[cyberties]

Listen to the theme from Once Upon A Time in the West, directed by Sergio Leone as well with music by Ennio Morricone. The music has the same haunting quality and I can't hear one without thinking immediately of the other film. Two Cinematic Masterpieces that bookend a fabulous carerr.

[LIDIJify]

Щас спою,и как берёзка слезу пущу-ууу,великолепно!!

[elitedonk]

This music makes the movie how good it is

[herbalinzia]

...BRIVIDI...dappertutto......­il cuore galoppa e la ragione si perde....

[THEGRINNINGDOGGY]

The man is a master and this song is so forlorn, yet beautiful....

[MilosHrma]

If only Morricone could live forever.... and yet, I know he already does.

[antissan]

@BeauCulMonsieur: indeed, your comment expresses the most intimite basis of it all! Thanks! And this is my favourite theme !

[peancaro]

GRACIAS SR.MORRICONE

[imaginativemindz]

oh God... thank you for giving us Ennio and his Music

[07cobre1]

This is one of the most inspiring songs of nostalgia and melancholy of lost love.

[Shaneybob324]

Phantom Regiment need to play this!

[groente12]

timeless.. music

[dubstard]

this makes me cry every time...

[turam0815]

i love this theme

[storm43701]

This is without a doubt, THE BEST movie made. All Star Cast, and Excellent Story Line.. its worth watching 25+ plus and its only 4hrs 52 minutes long..lol...

[siemprerevueltas]

@storm43701 I could really say that too, if one day appears a list of the best movies of all time (not only from the US or Europe but in the whole world) and this one appears in the first position, I wouldn't say something against it. I know it'd be arbitrary cause I haven't seen all movies (nobody), but this movie is just amazing. There nothing left to say. Mr. Leone: Bravo, Bravísimo!!!

[inVoquee]

Unreal the feeling this movie brings me. Can't bring it up good in words but wish my life could bring the same up.

[Microck1]

Mr. Ennio Morricone was one of the very rare people, who´s got the ability to create deep and difference emotions.

PS: Sorry for my bad grammar, but i think you´ll know what i mean;-)

@Microck1, I know what you mean and I feel the same way you do :)
