I'm not sure if you edited this, but I'm a designer and recently got into movie titles. I hope it's ok if I took ur video for the use of applying my own titles to it. Loved the edit. Not using it for promotional or anything, mainly portfolio work dealing with titles.
Wonderful work !

R.I.P Ennio Morricone
The most beautiful movie ever shot. in my opinion of course. Leone was a genius
Interestingly enough, I haven’t seen this movie, but to me, Once Upon a Time In the West is the most beautiful movie ever shot. My opinion might change with this film, but either way, all that shows is that Leone was indeed an absolute genius
@@shotbro4998 If you liked Once upon a time in the west, i'm sure you'll love this movie.
Lawrence of Arabia >>>
Shot Bro What did you think of the movie?
Shot Bro you ever get a chance to see the movie?
The contrast between the beauty of the cinematography and the horror of the story always amazed me
You’ve put into words what I’ve been thinking about since the first time I’ve watched this film. The contrast continues to amaze me, and makes me come back to it constantly. Definitely in my top 5 personal favorites of all time 😊
Sergio Leone used Juxtaposition extremely well.
the intersection of beauty with barbarity is at the heart of so much western art.
The contrast between the music und the Brutality in the movie is amazing too.
@@pato2200exactly. Everything from The Godfather to 2001: A Space Odyssey is about the brutality underlying man’s feign of sophistication
Sergio Leone is the greatest Director that Cinema has ever forgotten, he was such a talented man.
Agree. Every film he made is a masterpiece
@@Silv3rXs He made only 8 films of which only 6 are considered masterpieces.... I'm not saying he wasn't a great director but the number of films are just less..
@Colson Kuliopulos Everyone has their own opinion... I respect your opinion!
@Colson Kuliopulos which 4, may I ask?
@@newmanturbo5975 lol imagine even having one masterpiece in your filmography. Sergio Leone is a genius... in simple terms.
I think 1:50 is one of the most beautiful and epic shots of cinema history.
No doubt
DUMBO
down underneath the Manhattan bridge overpass
The Score in this movie is stinning. I can hear it all day without stopping
Great cinematography and
one of the best De Niro roles.
Who else thinks this is one of the most beautiful movies ever made
I do!
Apparently, everyone in the comments
Me
It pulls on your cords of meloncholy and nostalgia big time
- the vividness of turning into a man from a boy can only happen once and its gone for ever
- No movie has come close to captured coming of age quiet like this one.
Seen it around 25 times…. Never gets old:)
The first time I saw this movie, I found myself crying without even knowing why. The beauty of its cinematography it's something hard to describe.
It is hard to describe...
So, I found myself crying too ..!
I watched this for the first time the other day and I agree. This happened to me too
I remember crying during the finale of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, gonna watch this movie soon, Leone's movies have that touch that just makes everything incredible
Same I was high asf but I was crying because I was able to relate with noodles so much with his childhood and his hood friends and the girl he loved that was a good girl especially when she wrote her love story describing his clothes which my ex did as well. Deborah was trying to make it out the hood while he was hustling with the bros trying to make it on top of the food chain in his neighborhood. It’s really hard to describe the masterpiece it is.
RIP Ennio Morricone! I can't remember the last time any movie's score had such a tremendous effect on me while watching it
Morricone's score of The Mission has a profound effect on me...
Meistro Morricone 🥂👏 One that moves me in similar way is GLADIATOR. Lisa Gerrard's haunting vocals and Zimmer's score. Very Wagnerian. In fact, it is operatic and carries the film.
@@thenote2367 Yes, it's very powerful!
U won't remember any because there is only this 1..a cut above.. 💯
@@thenote2367 don't you think it borrows a bit too much from Mars God of War from the Planets?
This movie and "Once Upon A Time In the West" were Sergio Leone's "tributes " to two American film genres, the Western and the Gangster film. That these two films were so beautifully done tells us how much Sergio loved those American movies that inspired him.
It's his way of taking revenge for america stealing *(ReAl AmURicaN)* pizza
I forget lots of the cinematography in Once upon a Time in the West. Just by coincidence they are all scenes with Claudia Cardinale in them.
@@trs4437 "You can't imagine how happy it makes a man to see a woman like you. Just to look at her."
-Jason Robards as "Cheyenne " to "Jill" (Claudia Cardinale) in "Once Upon A Time In The West".
Such a masterpiece... Incredible
I was a teen when my father forced me to watch this movie with him. I didn't want to. I just wanted to hang out with my Friends. I absolutely loved the film. My love for cinema and photography started just there.
beautiful
What else did your dad force you to do that you didn’t want to?
Beautiful story
@Edward CCahuana Tito Because you’re a homosexual.
@Edward CCahuana Tito I’m not lol
Where do you live?
The praise in the comments for Sergio Leone is of course fully warranted. However, don't overlook the contribution of Tonino Delli Colli, the cinematographer. Leone's films would not have been lit and photographed nearly as well without him. Too often directors get credit when it belongs elsewhere.
I totally agree. It is why Citizen Kane was probably Welles’ finest film. It wasn’t just his extraordinary vision and how he instructed his collaborators as to how the scenes should look and play out, but also the incredible lighting and depth of field from the one and only Gregg Tolland. Cinematographers arguably have the most difficult job in film. To actually make it look good on both cinema and TV screens, but more so cinema of course.
thank you for sharing and praising him, i didn't know that, i agree the cinematographer gets overlooked almost always
I love how when they are just children everything looks huge and endless in comparisson to them, who are just little fishes trying to become something bigger
I totally agree!!
one of the greatest film in movie history
Once upon a time in America is a Leone masterpiece. I’m so glad I’ve discovered it because wow what a treasure.
1:49 one of cinema beautiful, an amazing shot in any film nothing can come close to this shot
This movie needs much more recognition. It's literally a hidden masterpiece and it's Sergio Leone's "Godfather" and much realistic, but convincing potrayal of America during the early 20th century and prohibition era. I would go far as rank this above the Godfather and one of the best movies ever made or atleast that I have ever seen
This movie is much deep and stronger than "The Godfather", because Leone don`t show gangsters in this movie like a people with honor and dignity, this is the BIGGEST difference between the movies. Yes, Michael turns out to be evil at the end of Part 1 too, but not in the same way that Noodles and his crew were in this movie. Once Upon a Time in America is just much more...adult?
How beautiful can a movie be?
Yet so underrated.
Thanks for this lovely video and your lovely channel
One of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen in my life. I remember watching it on AMC, and I was completely blown away. The story, the acting, Ennio Morricone’s score and Sergio Leone’s directing; everything about the film was and is gold!
the best film in the history of cinema!
This is easily a Flawless Masterpiece. The emotions I felt while watching it as a 14 year old boy and then Re-watching it as an Adult I wouldn't able to explain in words. It's a powerful picture that was heavily snubbed at the Oscars! This is Sergio Leone Masterpiece! I also love the ending so much, its arguably the greatest ending to any movie ever! If you have never watched this film before I recommend that you check it out, make sure to have a lot of spare time as this film is nearly 4 hours long but it's worth every second. Obviously you could cut it down to episodes but I wouldn't recommend doing that, its a type of experience that you just have to sit through till the end. It hits differently if you pause the film and then come back to it later, it just doesn't work the same way at least in my opinion.
@Moh Asani Magnolia , Inland Empire , 1900 , Andrei Rublev , Fanny and Alexander , The Irishman... just to name the few.
With the ending you love, do you mean the plot twist after 35 years or do you have some interpretation for the final smile that you love?
@@DaviLu An Interpretation of the smile. That smile spoke a lot of volumes for me, from a character stand point but also it kinda made me think of my life so Far also. Sorry for the late reply.
@@nox5870 oh wow, I'm curious what your interpretation of that was then, if this is what makes it so great for you? (Just that the entire story told in the movie could've been a dream of drugged noodles?)
Unfortunately, the original European cut wasn't widely shown in the U.S. and the U.S. cut was a heavily compromised film. That's probably why it got no recognition by the Academy in the U.S.
One of my favourite movies of all time,a Classic.The cinematography,the music,the superb directing of one the best Directors of all time and undoubtedly the underrated acting of these gigantic Actors,and then the music of the unforgetable Ennio Morricone.What a Masterpiece to be enjoyed time after time...Unfairly overlooked by the Academy,i believed...!!
RIP Maestro Ennio Morricone.
This film has to have some of the most beautiful cinematography of any crime film I’ve ever seen, heck, probably any film period. The way Leone so epically recreates New York in the three time periods with their various differences and similarities coupled with the almost dreamlike atmosphere of the entire production it’s a truly beautiful film and probably one of the best films ever made, for my money.
Tonino Delli Colli (who also shot Once Upon A Time In The West and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly for Leone) really does not get enough credit for having shot several of the most beautiful films in history.
Best cinematography I've seen and best soundtrack. This and The Pianist 👍🏻
The brilliance of this video is in what shots you didn't use and how beautiful and powerful it still is .
A grande obra de Sergio Leone, que infelizmente faleceu cedo demais. Abriu mão de dirigir "O Poderoso Chefão" para trabalhar no projeto de "Era uma vez na América". O tempo passa e continua sendo meu filme favorito. Perfeito em cada detalhe e de imensa sensibilidade. Leone foi genial. E a parceria com Morricone, outro gênio, insuperável.
I think my favorite scene in this wonderland movie is when Noodles and Max meet again after years have gone by and Max was a politician in trouble. This was one of the last scenes. I love how Noodles never let on that he knew who Max really was and talked about what time had done to them both.
Possibly the most beautiful score in the whole history of cinema. In my opinion. Definitely THE most underrated gangster film of all time.
Le plus grand film de tous les temps
This channel is amazing.
Thank you 😊
This is one of my favorite videos in TH-cam, thanks for all your effort and consideration, as a film lover, your work is completely mind-blowing and beautiful, wish you the best of the lucks.
Dark, mysterious and romantic New York that once was. What I wouldn't give to spend a day in that city.
I had forgotten how absolutely beautiful this was... thank you. This is one of my favorite channels.
Probably my favourite video on this channel
Thank you!
American studio executives did Leone dirty. This film is the work of a great auteur and they did him dirty.
for me probably the greatest movie i have ever seen..... takes me to my parents, my chlidhood..so much depth and great music.tears anyone
I have never seen this movie. I've only heard of it. This will definitely be added to my watchlist
Don’t waste your time.
It's the greatest movie ever, if you have not watched it yet then do so as soon as you can! If you have, what do you think ?
BlackWater Production Bullshit
@@josecarranza7555 Sure no problem
BlackWater Production It’s a Godfather wannabee movie.
One week after, I'm still thinking about the movie...
Sergio Leone was amazing
Don’t delete this ever please , this movie was so much like my childhood.
My favorite movie and one of my favorite directors
That shot of them as kids walking across the street with Manhattan Bridge in the background is breathtaking. Iconic.
It’s sad what happened to this film. In America cut down to about 2 hours loosing all the scenes of their childhood and other pivotal moments. It tanked at the box office and critics derided it as incoherent. Thank God it’s reputation has been rebuilt over the years and seen as a true masterpiece of Leone’s career of signature masterpieces
Such a great movie. For me one of the most stunning moments was in the scene, in which Noodles summarizes over 30 years of is live in just one sentence, after Fat Moe askes him about what he has done in all those years an Noddles answers: "Going to bed early".
The best film ,also the beat soundtrack,amazing
This is now my favorite video on TH-cam
❤
i just loved the use of yesterday as a background score.
When he returns to the big apple, that sequence I have probably watched a hundred times
One of the best movies in history, but no doubt the best soundtrack ever
Dual watch this and the Irishman for sad gangster feels and the same power of the long length
Don’t ever compare to the two
@@OhNightfall which one is better
arty shorts the Irishman is like 21 jump street compared to this
@@OhNightfall I think they're both great movies but you're right, the irishman doesn't hold a candle to ouatia
Moh Asani cap
One of the best movies ever.I watched it years ago.
Almost 40 years this movie and still a masterpiece ❤
Theres a lot of masterpieces even oldest
Tonino delli Colli and Ennio Morricone were the ones who really gave this film that feeling of magic and mystery. Due to them both this is a true masterpiece
I don't know why but my eyes are teary after watching this
I don't have one all time favorite movie, but this one is on the list of the greatest's
Best movie full of every emotion
Las escenas y los momentos que seleccionaron son de una belleza sorprendente!! Un trabajo espectacular!
Rest In Peace, Ennio ❤️
Sergio Leone the greatest director of all time love all of his films a genius. Sadly I didn't appreciate some of them until later in life
Magnificent film. The experience of this film is like dreaming.
thank you for making this
Every music track of this film is absolutely brilliant had to buy it enjoy !!!!
I love those childhood scenes wish they had more scenes ❤. What a great movie 💯
I cried a lot especially in the last De Niro's smile scene
One of my favorite movies of all time! Thank you so much for making this video, it is because of people like you that forgotten masterpieces are remembered and brought back to their original glory, I Sincerely one day hope that we will be able to see this masterpiece in it's full glory, the way sergio leone had intended.
I'm glad this movie is getting some of the much recognition it deserves. Leone's masterpiece is truly worth seeing and is a Goodfellas before Goodfellas come onto the screen.
R. I. P. Ennio
This movie is #1 in my book. The first time I saw it I never wanted it to end. Watch its once a year bow.
Definitely the number one best movie of the 1980s, you can name a hundred reasons why that is.
This movie is a treat especially the script, production,direction,characterisation each aspect is super..
Your videos are awesome man. Fantastic music and great shots. Keep it up.

Are you Italian or a refined chinephile? Bertolucci's "Il Conformista" is unfairly not so famous
have watched this film about 50 times
Unforgettable scene is De Niro's smile with blank eyes when he is in the opium shop.
Very beautiful!
What a movie, story, cast, music, picture .. Thanks for this video
one of the greatest. ever.
Me alegra que Sergio Leone haya cumplido su sueño de hacer "Once upon a time in America", unos años después se animó a hacer con ayuda de productoras rusas, una película sobre el asedio de 800 días contra Stalingrado, que seguramente habría sido su obra más cruda y dramática, quería que el protagonista fuese Robert DeNiro.
Pero tristemente falleció después de pisar el primer estribo de ese proyecto.
Sólo podemos alegrarnos de que esa también hubiera sido una genial película.
It’s really very special and very beautiful ! 👍🏼😍🏆
Beside the cinematography and the whole of story, i would like to say this is the beautiful music that I've ever heard in my life , rip ennio morricone 🙏
This and Blade Runner 2049 the most beautifully shot movies ever.
The soundtrack alone.. beautiful...
The best movie ... like THE GODFATHER !👏👏👏👏
The combination of magical cinematography, amazing method acting and Morricone’s masterful pieces of music make this movie stand out as probably the greatest ever in the gangster genre
I love these becuae sometimes you just want to feel the feeling of a film without having to watch it all over again.
Like this film. Jesus, it's nearly 4 hours!
Thank you.
Sergio Leone always has the best visuals I’ve ever seen. Morricone’s music was always most perfect when he worked with Leone. The best duo to ever grace cinema and WAY ahead of their time; the visuals and music coupled together r better than anything that was released prior to or since each of their movies
The very fav emotional film 🖤🖤
Selon moi le plus grand chef d’œuvre de l’histoire du cinéma, musique, acteurs, scénarios, décors, rebondissements et j’en passe...
Tout y est !
Ce film est Magique et il est unique. Royale !
When I have to think of beautiful cinematography, 1:49 always comes to mind first.
I love The Godfather, Coppola is such a brilliant Director. Once Upon A Time In America took me somewhere else though that I will never come back from. I am eternally great full to have this film in my life.
This movie should at least have the Best Motion Picture, Best Actor (De Niro), Best Supporting Actor (James Woods), Best Soundtrack, Best Adapted Script and Best Director (Sergio Leone) Oscar of that year! I love Amadeus and really think is a masterpiece, but this is one of the best movies ever made!
did you read the novel?
Great video! Will watch it again when I'm drunk!
Why??? 😂😂😂
@@TheBeautyOf Because this is one of those films that hit close to home and one of my personal favorites! Drunkness allows me to drown myself in its beauty even more!
Speechless
My best movie
This movie relly gives us an idea and a feeling of the late 19th and early 20th century which I can not explain !
It's simply a masterpiece which can only be praised and cant be denied !
I feel like the lenses he used in this film are a lot of the same ones Mann used for HEAT... At least the anamorphic ones.
This movie my one of the most loved movie. These scenes, hard me to think. Probably i wont't watch a good movie like it during my life, until end of my life.
The beauty and uniqueness of Leone
Is that he always wanted the actor to express the human insight of the character
And this is totally different from acting
Example is the way Bronson and Fonda played the role in the most iconic western of all times”once upon a time in the west”
