this is maybe the only one gangster movie,which made me cry several times :D so sad when you realize how short and transient life is .In one moment they are young,enjoing life ,on the peak .And then old,broken,alone hutned by memories.Great movie, De Niro -amazing, Woods -amazing ....Morricone´s music - godlike(supported by Yesterday - ingenious), all directed by Leone with amazing sceneries of old America - quality guarantee itself .... Once Upon a Time in America - priceless
I think this might be the my favorite movie ever but I don't know why. Am I supposed to like Noodles and root for him here. He almost killed Max and did kill his two other friends by snitching. Also he's a rapist. I think Max is a more likeable character, why isn't he the protagonist. Why shouldn't he shit on Noodles for his betrayal, even if it was good intentioned? Confusing movie.
@richie8811 I think that Mr. Leone once said that the future parts of the movie (post 1930's), actually never happened, but instead were an opium induced dream by Noodles. That's why last scene has Noodles high as a kite on opium, and then smiling.
@jaypatel384 Max knocked Noodles out for calling him crazy remember? Then Max went with the others to the heist and set them up by having them killed along with a third unknown person who was suppose to be Max's dead body. Before or after that Max took the money in the locker and payed his way into the syndicate and assumed a new identity when he was supposedly killed. He basically betrayed everyone. Max probably made the decision to do this after Noodles raped his secret lover Deborah.
@shaheed79 Ohk, I get it. So the guys shown at the beginning of the movie who kill the girl and attack Moe and are looking for Noodles are actually sent by Max?
@jaypatel384 No they were probably sent by the syndicate of the mafia. I'm not sure if they are the same thing or not and I don't think Max sent them to kill Noodles.
A call to all the fans of this film: where's, in New York, the chinese theatre and the opium den where it's recorded the final scene? Did it really exist one opium den in NY, in 1983, or it was only a soundstage specifically created for the film?
I just watched "Limitless." Imagine an alternative universe where a film production company actually waited the exact chronological amount of years to film the ending of a movie.
I truly admire the attempts to make DeNiro look old, but can you imagine what it would be like to have the first half of this movie filmed in the 80's, and then have the last half filmed in the 2010's? You can't replicate DeNiro wrinkles, facial lines, and just good ol' fashioned experience.
This is true art. I saw the movie for the first time 1981, I think it was. Since then I see it about every second year and it is still as good as it was the first time. I immediately turn into a special mood and a special feeling when the movie or a clip starts. The only movie I can compare it with is Once upon a time in the west.
@davemustainee2 Actually we never know if he was murdered or if he pulled another fake death like he did 35yrs before. The movie leaves it kind of ambiguous.
I first saw this in its uncut entirety about ten years ago and loved it. It makes any of my Top Ten Lists and I am a person who has watched everything from the silents on up.
I have never seen any movie post-production like this.Three time zones combined perfectly. Masterpiece movie. You want to be director you'd better watch it.
yes this is was a excellent movie, but showed the that the thugs have really taken over the entire WESTERN WORLD WITH nothing but SUFFERING and freedom out lawed
@vermilionskin You're right. I was asking Americans if they knew this movie, and -nope. Only one knew who said it was shot in European style. They just showed once in USA but it did not gain popularity. He told me American movie is either shooter, or comedy, or romantic and so on. This movie does not qualify for enough shooting but it combines little bit humor, love which makes it not a typical mafia movie but better than that. Even its soundtrack already makes it enough good. One of my favorite
@wintersnoob What sort of films do you like? I wasnt alive when this was made, however i was born 6 years later and i watched it recentley and i think its a great film.
@DodgyIdeot It's not because of that. I do love this movie. It's because he said this movie was very unrated.. but it was well rated indeed. Just because it wasn't nominated for the Oscar awards it doesn't mean it wasn't well rated.
La scène finale est magnifique l'affrontement de ces deux grands acteurs est prodigieuse. Un film qui m'a marqué lors de sa sortie en salle et que je regarde régulièrement aujourd'hui en DVD. Le film testament de Sergio Leone et l'un des grands chefs d'oeuvre du cinéma mondial
que buena pelicula y que buenos actores !!! Robert de Niro , James Woods, Elizabeth Mc Govern , Treat Williams, Tuesday Weld ,Burt Young, ETC ... CONGRATULATIONS... !! ....おめでとう Omedetō.
I keep hearing that this originally was much longer. In fact I read that Leone had wanted to release it as two- 3hr. parts, and had over 10 hrs of footage at the end of filming, the original script being over 300 pages. That leads me to believe that there is still a lot of unseen footage out there. Anyone know if there ever will be a full, complete version on blue-ray or whatever?
You can't see it on this clip coz it's too dark but if you zoom in on the DVD:
As the garbage truck drives past Max at 4:22 - if you look underneath the truck you see his feet running to catch up to the cab so he can jump up onto the footplate.
Not saying Sergio Leone intended for that to be seen but it is there.
Each time I have watched this film it brings back my life as a young Italian growing up with close friends. The bond that you brought to the table never ever dies. I am in my early 60's and some of those close friends have left. This movies lives past all of those bonds and each time you watch it brings back the memories of our youth. Thank you for such a great piece of art.
Okay, did Max actualy throw himself in the truck? Note the painted hand waving cheerio, next to the no. 35 ( since 1933). Film was too good for the early 80s.
@Noodles37UK I read a pretty good article about that online, I don't remeber what it's called but I found it at a fansite for this film.
Basically the theory was that Max fooled Noodles for the third time (first time when Noodles thought he had drowned when they were bootlegging booze, second time when he faked the burned corpse) and once again Max cheats death.
why is this movie so underrated???????films with the same genre like the godfather or scarface etc. are really known by everyone,this film is a lot bettr,but why so underrated?best movie ever,if u see the part where the little boy gets killed,thats really so sad,i almost needed to crie,really great film with flashbacks and the actuers are great,i wish that Al Pacino had a rol in this movie,he would fit good in this movie,dont u guys think so?
@29TAFFY Set in 1968. The Beatles' song is from their first of 2 albums from 1965. First was Help!, second was Rubber Soul. Hey, we can listen to anything we like, anytime we want : D
Does James Woods allow Noodles to escape the night Patsy and Cockeye are killed? Does Joe Pesci send those men to kill DeNiro? Woods does try to tell DeNiro to stay home - right before he knocks him out. "It was a syndicate operation," says Woods. Thus, Woods isn't a complete scumbag. Clearly, Woods could have found him before the 1960's. Also, are the three men at the table when Burt Young tells that joke the same three guys that kill DeNiro's girlfriend and beat up Fat Moe?
I saw this film when I was a little boy. I didn't understand much of the language but couldn't stop watching the images. I was about nine and forgot all about it in few days and never knew the name of the film. Then after many years I saw it again. I felt what a huge impact it had made to me even though I didn't realise it then. It was like suddenly remembering a childhood-dream as clearly as yesterday. I don't quite remember if that was all true but that's just it, the final image of the film.
@rayanneflowers Indeed. Their life had no substance - the dialogue inspires this exactly. The one's live is like a huge complex sentence with plenty of spelling mistakes; in this case the sentence is completely meaningless. That is why one of them might end his life in that MACK lorry, and the other - in his own opium dreamland.
Noodles regresa a su juventud sonriendo a los recuerdos de su gran amigo. Tratando de apartar le realidad de esos momentos. Tratando de salvar la pureza de la amistad y la lealtad que la inspira. Solo los grandes pueden trasmitir la tremenda humanidad que plantea esta historia y que ilumina el alma de quienes la apreciamos .
when I watch thise kinds of movies I get anderstand more and more that in past freands did everything insted save each other for their freandship and this days they ready kill each other for nothing I realised that we lost our teachers and the most our world and future
I just would hope that god will be mursy for us to give humanity and justice
@orangepeach12 , be cool, it will be always difficult, with Sergio or God, and your life, you 'll have only to create your life with the good and the bad, with the joy and the violence, as it made from the time of the creation. You'll win, and you loose, and maybe you 'll die, like ich other. You just can make a difference with your intellegency ... a message of Sergio, The Great ...
When Noodles meets with the Secretary they are both older, grey haired, and balding. After Noodles leaves th Secretary's estate he goes to the opium den where he is a much younger man in appearance. Can someone please explain?.
@BooBoo0818 It goes back to before this ever happened its another shift in time, back to right after max and them died, thts why some think wht happened after maxes "death" is an opium vision
@BooBoo0818: Ok we must speak of the "uncut" version of the film not the piece of dreck that the US studio cut it to. Speaking of the film the way Sergio Leone edited it, this movie starts and ends in the middle of the narrative, the point at which Noodles "drops a dime" on his friend, and his friend decides to fake his own death. At that point Noodles goes to the opium den and his girlfriend, at his apartment, is murdered. That time is the beginning and end of the movie.
sergio leone .a rendező óriás.e film olyan,mint a mester egyik másik örök klasszikusa,a volt egyszer egy vadnyugat.nem nézni,érezni kell....átélni, érezni mint elmesél....
A deeply mysogynous film! Beautiful images, music, but also scenes that do not for one instant question the image of women portrayed. Violence is shown without any critique and only from a disturbing point of view.
I love this film. But this scene can only be the best because the rest of the film leads up to it. There is no watching various scenes with this movie. You can only watch the whole thing at once to get the most emotion out of it. everyone involved in the making of this film is a legend.
This is excellent, but I really like the entirety of the Max/Noodles scene. I love it when Max tells him "You're the only one I can accept it from", and Noodles tells him he is old and might miss.
Damn.....if the last 3 minutes dont bring you to tears u arent human,the music alone should do that great movie too bad we had to wait to see the completed vision long after Sergio has passed on.
it's not likely a body would vanish in such a little time with no blood splashes and no bone fragments to see... but then such an old man could not really get on the van from the back and keep hunging on it forever. He definitely didn't seat on the van front seats as the van drives him past. I think this end quite simply doesn't make any sense. Considering the film was finished in 1984, it could just be a post-modernist twist to a very structured film. The interpretation is left to the viewer
"The interpretation is left to the viewer" yes. I don't like your realist remarks about anatomy: this ain't "Saw" and the fact that body parts or protoplasm does not behave like in anatomy class and the paper is in there is not soaked red, does not mean Bailey did not jump. Watch other depictions of violence and rape in the movie and you see that the intention is not to depict these acts realistically.
@HistorialChannel hey the jewish mafia are the most powerfull in the world there the dimiond merchants its not racist its fact do you know what mafia means?
Don't forget that the movie is based on the book of Harry (forgot his family name).As I think - Jewish because of the poorest NYC district.And to show the difference between the generations-"Deborah,will you go to sinagogue with us? No, Dad, I'll go to train myself"
Your saying that the mafia is Jewish and not Italian and that "movies is a jew business" sounds racist. You can consider that an accusation if you like, but I'm not taking it back or removing it.
No, I really think that's a fundamental misreading of the movie. The entire movie builds up to the betrayal. Constant references are made towards the end of DeNiro being devastated ("turn into a pillar of salt") were he to find out how badly he was betrayed. So to say that DeNiro "knew Woods was alive" runs counter to a central part of the plot.
Nobody really "won" in the end. That's a term that would be more applicable to sports than a tragedy like this film.
I have an idea. The truck was a throwback to the wagon trick done in the beginning of the film. The wagon is used to hide something from the observing cop. It ends with James Woods hopping on the back of the wagon as it rides away.
Maybe he this time hops into the back of the garbage truck to his doom, since it had been mentioned several times that he was suicidal.
@HistorialChannel I disagree. He smiled because as Deborah said (I paraphrase) "all we have are our memories." He was thinking back to all the great fun he had with his gang and the opium was allowing him to forget all the tragedy that came of it. That's what makes the movie a great tragedy. The main character has great success and great loss.
Doesn't the ending Opium Scene take place before the mobsters enter the Den? Anyway the smile could symbolize repressed loneliness and guilt (over his friend's deaths and the raping of Deborah). But I love how the movie is revolved around the somber tone of time and that in the end you cannot change what you did in the past, but you can slowly let it go in the future.
Yes I thinks that's right - Max (as Bailey) says something like "I ruined your life". But it wasn't Max's life to ruin. Noodles took full responsibility for his actions and how his life had gone - he had come to terms with his past

I got the part that Noodles tipped off the cops to put Max off from robbing the bank, but what exactly was Max's plan to betray the rest of them?
Was the whole raid on the booze delivery a set-up by him or was it something else? And if it was, how did Noodles manage to get out of it?
Thanks

@29TAFFY That part of the film was set in the 60's, if you'd notice Noodles age. :P

@29TAFFY Set in 1968. The Beatles' song is from their first of 2 albums from 1965. First was Help!, second was Rubber Soul. Hey, we can listen to anything we like, anytime we want : D

Does James Woods allow Noodles to escape the night Patsy and Cockeye are killed? Does Joe Pesci send those men to kill DeNiro? Woods does try to tell DeNiro to stay home - right before he knocks him out. "It was a syndicate operation," says Woods. Thus, Woods isn't a complete scumbag. Clearly, Woods could have found him before the 1960's. Also, are the three men at the table when Burt Young tells that joke the same three guys that kill DeNiro's girlfriend and beat up Fat Moe?

I saw this film when I was a little boy. I didn't understand much of the language but couldn't stop watching the images. I was about nine and forgot all about it in few days and never knew the name of the film. Then after many years I saw it again. I felt what a huge impact it had made to me even though I didn't realise it then. It was like suddenly remembering a childhood-dream as clearly as yesterday. I don't quite remember if that was all true but that's just it, the final image of the film.

rayanneflowers 1 year ago
@rayanneflowers Indeed. Their life had no substance - the dialogue inspires this exactly. The one's live is like a huge complex sentence with plenty of spelling mistakes; in this case the sentence is completely meaningless. That is why one of them might end his life in that MACK lorry, and the other - in his own opium dreamland.

Noodles regresa a su juventud sonriendo a los recuerdos de su gran amigo. Tratando de apartar le realidad de esos momentos. Tratando de salvar la pureza de la amistad y la lealtad que la inspira. Solo los grandes pueden trasmitir la tremenda humanidad que plantea esta historia y que ilumina el alma de quienes la apreciamos .

BooBoo0818 1 year ago
@BooBoo0818: Ok we must speak of the "uncut" version of the film not the piece of dreck that the US studio cut it to. Speaking of the film the way Sergio Leone edited it, this movie starts and ends in the middle of the narrative, the point at which Noodles "drops a dime" on his friend, and his friend decides to fake his own death. At that point Noodles goes to the opium den and his girlfriend, at his apartment, is murdered. That time is the beginning and end of the movie.

A deeply mysogynous film! Beautiful images, music, but also scenes that do not for one instant question the image of women portrayed. Violence is shown without any critique and only from a disturbing point of view.

it's not likely a body would vanish in such a little time with no blood splashes and no bone fragments to see... but then such an old man could not really get on the van from the back and keep hunging on it forever. He definitely didn't seat on the van front seats as the van drives him past. I think this end quite simply doesn't make any sense. Considering the film was finished in 1984, it could just be a post-modernist twist to a very structured film. The interpretation is left to the viewer
DXP322 1 year ago
"The interpretation is left to the viewer" yes. I don't like your realist remarks about anatomy: this ain't "Saw" and the fact that body parts or protoplasm does not behave like in anatomy class and the paper is in there is not soaked red, does not mean Bailey did not jump. Watch other depictions of violence and rape in the movie and you see that the intention is not to depict these acts realistically.

Don't forget that the movie is based on the book of Harry (forgot his family name).As I think - Jewish because of the poorest NYC district.And to show the difference between the generations-"Deborah,will you go to sinagogue with us? No, Dad, I'll go to train myself"

It's debatable whether Woods killed himself or not.
tubular87 1 year ago
No, I really think that's a fundamental misreading of the movie. The entire movie builds up to the betrayal. Constant references are made towards the end of DeNiro being devastated ("turn into a pillar of salt") were he to find out how badly he was betrayed. So to say that DeNiro "knew Woods was alive" runs counter to a central part of the plot.
Nobody really "won" in the end. That's a term that would be more applicable to sports than a tragedy like this film.
(cont'd)
tubular87 1 year ago
I have an idea. The truck was a throwback to the wagon trick done in the beginning of the film. The wagon is used to hide something from the observing cop. It ends with James Woods hopping on the back of the wagon as it rides away.
Maybe he this time hops into the back of the garbage truck to his doom, since it had been mentioned several times that he was suicidal.

@HistorialChannel I disagree. He smiled because as Deborah said (I paraphrase) "all we have are our memories." He was thinking back to all the great fun he had with his gang and the opium was allowing him to forget all the tragedy that came of it. That's what makes the movie a great tragedy. The main character has great success and great loss.
tubular87 1 year ago
I humbly beg to differ with you. I think the ending is indeed very meaningful and it's not the smile of a winner we see.
The scene preceding it with the decadent pre-depression lookalike party goers is significant as well in my interpretation.
hyperseauton 1 year ago
Doesn't the ending Opium Scene take place before the mobsters enter the Den? Anyway the smile could symbolize repressed loneliness and guilt (over his friend's deaths and the raping of Deborah). But I love how the movie is revolved around the somber tone of time and that in the end you cannot change what you did in the past, but you can slowly let it go in the future.
Patton2501 1 year ago
Yes I thinks that's right - Max (as Bailey) says something like "I ruined your life". But it wasn't Max's life to ruin. Noodles took full responsibility for his actions and how his life had gone - he had come to terms with his past
