Best film and soundtracks ever made. no films or soundtracks can come close to this masterpeice for ever. RIP sergio leone God bless you ennio morricone. YOUSIF HASABO SUDAN
I like how Max pretends to be crazy to get rid of Noodles and of the others. He has already planned to start a new life. I recently watched the original 4 hours version. Absolutely epic.
....that's not what happens at all. Max really was crazy in a sense that his drive for bigger and bigger were going to lead him into trouble. This is why Noodles makes the phone call ratting his friends out on a small bust as a means to get them in jail so as to save them from worse(but they get killed). Why do you think the phone rings for like 5 minutes at the beginning of the movie? Max is so haunted by the guilt of turning in his friends and getting them killed that he can't even sleep(in the opium den). The entire part of the movie that exists in the 60s(?) is all an opium dream as Max works through his guilt. There are plenty of clues to the viewer as well that key it in as a dream. In the final mansion party scenes, there are cameras that display their footage onto some TV screens. But watch what these screens are displaying. You see panning, zooming shots, neither of which are probable of possible unless you have a ton of people at the controls and the cameras themselves are beyond normal technology. Additionally, when Max disappears behind the garbage truck(by the way the truck is a recurring visual), where do you think he went? It's supposed to be surreal and ambiguous in a sense(despite the error they made when creating the shot as you can see the standin actor----Max is not played by James Woods in that shot---stepping up onto the side of the truck, you see his leg in front of one of the tires) And another to note is in the same scene with the garbage truck, there are some shots of Noodles and in the background you can see a building with an oriental roof, similar to the opium den. And this is right before the dream ends. Then there's his whole final meeting with deborah, the way the scene is visually framed, the way the conversation goes, and the reveal of her son who is the same actor as young max. There's the garbage truck outside the mansion driving away in which its rear lights becomes the headlights of antique cars filled with partiers(implication of prohibition ending) as the song at the opening of the film plays again.
@@robbie192 I get that you must feel movies are so oft open to interpretation, but as often as they seem that way they are pretty straightforward in their intent and their ambiguities are just constructed purposefully.
@@warioman91 sergio himself said there are many interpretations to Noodles and the Opium scenes after...I think because the movie begins and ends in an Opium den all scenes after are hallucinations..although others may disagree and be right...how would Noodles know what a frisbee is if this were a dream...
@@robbie192well to focus on the frisbee or other such things is to miss the point. It's a necessary creative liberty, and Leone or one of the writers explains that opium has the tendency to cause hallucinations of ones future(whether it does or not). You should rewatch the scene with the frisbee transition anyway. It's another great example of the feeling of a dream(noodles is walking with the briefcase full of money and the suspense is hard for him to bear) Should notice the extent the song yesterday by the Beatles is used twice in the film. At the first transition into the future(which the song itself transitions from the ominous pan flute song with the coney island mural shown), and in the mansion scene near the end as the orchestra at the party plays it. One of the universally noticed themes of the movie is nostalgia, also being part of the appeal.
The Music here tells more about The characters than the dialogue itself. We can understood in this scene the illusion where the characters are refugied, as a castle of sand, a shimmering mirage, a sunny dazzling day.
Ironically I see Noodles as escaping the illusions of the other main characters through opium. Noodles is first driven to opium, since he realises that Max's ambitions are built, as you say, on a castle of sand. We see this in the last scene, Max is fated to be killed, he is not free, despite his power, yet Max, while losing his wealth to opium, has had a moral re-awakening to the illusions, or opium, of power itself.
Since Max's father died in a mental asylum, it's no surprise he doesn't stand being called "crazy". The second time Noodles calls him that in 1933, obviously causing him to snap and knock him out with a gun, immediately cuts to a 1968 scene where Carol reveals to Noodles what happened to Max's father, I guess they did that so we quickly learn why Max hates being called "crazy" so much.
arnarne I’d say it’s a little under rated for the masterpiece it is. The film received bad reception on release as the film was cut various times without Sergio’s consent
Aidaan S96 I didn't know it was cut several times and I agree it is a masterpiece in many ways but I still think it is too sentimental and a bit too clever f. it's own good. I believe that is why it isn't comparable with f. example The Goodfather or Casino and those kind of films. Nearly a real masterpiece but not quite...
He was thinking. And I think it adds realism because when I'm talking about plans or such things, there'll always be a pause. But ye, it should be shorter in a 4-hour movie whose screenplay has 335 pages

No, Max was extremely loyal to Noodles. He brings him back into the gang after 12 years in prison and lets him earn. He disregarded the teamsters union guy suggesting to take out Noodles. The Old noodles timeline was a dream.
“Just one more score, and we get the hell out of here”
“You are crazy, Dutch”
has a soundtrack ever captured the mood like this movie?
Schindler's List
@@ShineyMonkey245 no
Rocky LOL

NO
Nothing will ever touch this movie!
Never talk shit about a man's dream
The best movie ever
EDER Gonzalez even though I don’t agree, I support this statement, because the movie deserves it
Avengers Infinity Glove is better!
Supreme LC lol
Heat is better
@@sgt.barnes9440lmao, comparing heat to this one. 😂😂 (i know you’re joking)

Classic movie and a wonderful scene. I must've watched this at least a thousand times

There are very few directors who have unique styles of making films...Kubrick was one and Leone was another.

Woods probably reacts like that to De Niro when they discuss politics
a perfect scene with the perfect music
One of the most underrated movies ever
Legalize Ranch It isn't underrated. It's too sentimental and too clever f. it's own good. That is why it isn't rated higher than it is!

arnarne still a better modern depiction of the 1920s gangster element than boardwalk empire
Of all the films I have seen, only this one never ages
Max says, "A dream I've been dreaming all my life." This is a clue to understanding Noodles' opium dream.
I miss James woods in movies, he was actually really great when he wanted, not always over the top
That music
the best scene of the best movie
GREAT MOVIE AND GREAT MUSIC. IN THIS CLIP IT FORMS A PERFECT SYNERGY
I cannot get over how this film affected me
One of the best scenes in cinema's history.
For the music !.
Una de mis 10 películas preferidas, y una de las 5 o 6 mejores películas de todos los tiempos.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The Federal Reserve Bank!
one of the most beautiful movies ever made
De Niro's swimming costume and mascara really complete this scene.
masterpiece
I love this film the best actors the greatest director the best music in a movie ever a masterpiece of movie making what’s not to like about it
Scary the way he reacts. It’s true he was a psycho, the rapist noodles just told max the truth that he’s a psycho, well they all are. Lol 😂
😂agreed my good sir
reality of criminals
Linda cena ..lamentável que Leone foi embora tão cedo.
There is pretty much everything on that movie, could it be perfect ?
great actors...
I think that Max is in desperate need of an Anger Management Class!
Alan Bustos his character reminds me of Hades lol
He's just standing up for himself, probably because he's been hurt before, and he's fed up with it, that's merely human nature.
tdevil101 Is this a joke? He plays Hades lol
Alan Bustos DON’T YOU EVER SAY THAT TO ME! DON’T YOU EVER SAY THAT TO ME AGAIN!!!
why don't you start clip from the "a dream" moment, before max's explained rest ? but finally someone put this on youtube, so good job man
Right, exactly- that's what brought me here. The part where Max says "A Dream"
Yeah while drawing on the sand
"You're really crazy"
He had spent all that time locked up & didn't wanna go back, of course he thought Max was crazy to evn think of taking a fed bank, smh
There's like 4 of you. You're not robbing the Federal Reserve Bank.
Utterly, ripped my heart out
The pause between Max's "it's the biggest step we could take...'' line and Noodles' ''you're really crazy'' line is infuriatingly frustrating.
He was thinking. And I think it adds realism because when I'm talking about plans or such things, there'll always be a pause. But ye, it should be shorter in a 4-hour movie whose screenplay has 335 pages
The lifeguard in the background ...thinking Wow
Such an intense dramatic climax
0:28-0:50 It takes more than 20 seconds to De niro to say his line...man was necessary that pause?

so heartbreaking
Goodbye Darlanne Fluegel, Eve for ever.
Stefano Rossi didn't know that - sorry to hear it. Horrific end to her character in this movie, never sees it coming.
Did you know that both her and James Hayden (a.k.a. "Patsy") were both both on the same day and the same year?
What’s the hairstyle Robert Di miró has in the movie ?
Just WOW
Der Film ist ein Meisterwerk.....
I cried for days
Is this a Heat prequel ?
The feeling when I with another man but I continue to remember my first love
Was Max lying about the fed reserve job from the get go? As part of the plan to get Noodles to rat them out?
Chrono Logic no I think Max would have had Noodles killed too!
Yup
No, you misinterpret the whole movie. The whole 60's era of the movie is Noodles guilt ridden dream in the Opium Den.
No, Max was extremely loyal to Noodles. He brings him back into the gang after 12 years in prison and lets him earn. He disregarded the teamsters union guy suggesting to take out Noodles. The Old noodles timeline was a dream.
@@doublem1975x fascinating....tbh I think either explanation works. Very ambiguous. Did Leone state the opium induced dream was just a dream?
Im crazy. But i will. Make............all my dreams
hmm..
Think this was filmed at the Don Cesar in St. Petersburg FL. Supposed to be haunted 👻

No film comes even close
Does anyone else think that the bank is the same location as the prison?
