Why doesn't Once Upon A Time in America get more props?

[Dusty Bake Activate]

It's up there with The Godfathers to me. It got zero Oscar nominations.

I think part of it is there are no likable characters. Noodles was the main protagonist but he lost all sympathy when he raped Deborah.

Because it's 4 hours long. A great movie, absolutely. But it's 4 hours long.

It's 25 minutes longer than The Godfather 2.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I respect the film but for me it's not an easy watch.

 

[Bonafide]

I just spoke on this films behalf. The length shouldn't make a difference if the movie is engulfing. One of my favorite gangster films EVER!

 

[FlyRy]

I enjoyed it. But I'm not sure I ever wanna watch it again

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

Wasn't the original cut butchered?

Sergio Leone >>

I think i saw it last year... I thought it was good. But the max story had some confusing parts in it.
Can't remember them right now. Something about how and why max faked his death and how he kept his identity hidden from his friends when he was a senator

It's nowhere near as good as The Godfather 2, tho.

 

[Mr210]

Damn good movie highly underrated

Yes it is. Godfather 2 is better, but it's close imo.

He faked his own death and killed his partners so he could take all their money, get out of the street game and start a new life as a legit businessman.

Poor editing also a bunch of other problems.
