I had no idea how long it was at the time.
Thought I would just fall asleep. It was entertaining as hell so it kept me up.
Although it’s a long movie , you stay engaged the entire time, but it’s just too long to be a “favorite movie of all time.” Way too long for that.
I understand
Yeah the way the story is told has you curious as to where shyt is going because it’s told what seems backwards
From the scene where you see dead people body bagged and it’s raining outside
From the phone ringing for what feels an eternity
To how there’s a lot silence and space sometimes between scenes and music where Noodles is looking back at the train station
But yeah I think the length of the movie alone is what keeps it from being talked about more among other great movies
I never hear people compare this to The Godfather Part 1 and 2
