	Once Upon A Time In America
		In our once great America, virginity and chastity were popular virtues, and one could live to old age and never be exposed to the abominations of homosexuality and adultery.
		There was a time in this great country when, except for a few certain morally corrupt large cities, the most egregious gamblers hung out in bingo parlors, and anyone who even whispered his or her support for state-sponsored gambling would be run out of town on a rail.
		There was also a time in the once noble America when physicians actually made personal visits to the homes of their patients.

	ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA - TWO-DISC SPECIAL EDITION DVD
		Such is the level of cinematic sophistication in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America that all of the miserable things that happen in the picture make you giddy, filling you with the joy that is basking in an artist's command of a medium.
		Yet there is some incontrovertible fidelity in the film's machismo to the pre-feminism America it portrays, and it's intriguing, to say the least, that the 1968 sequences consist of several pathetic geezers and one still-luminous Deborah: she seems to have been blessed with the gift of immortality in reimbursement for the evil that men do.
		Once Upon a Time in America is a masterpiece of affects.

		The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West and Duck, You Sucker were all quietly chopped down after their premieres.
		Once Upon a Time in the West got away with its Kabuki-Opera slowness by leaning heavily on mythical genre nostalgia, as if the battle between Henry Fonda and Charles Bronson were an eternal struggle fought by Gods somewhere in the clouds of Western Legend.
		Once Upon a Time in America is a strange mix of the beautiful, the earthy, and the repellent, an uneasy mix of an Italian director's imagination with the American gangster genre.

	Once Upon a Time in America
		An ex-girlfriend once told me that she loved Gone With the Wind so much that she even cried at the scenery.
		Once Upon a Time in America is conceived, edited, written, researched, and filmed brilliantly - an achievement far superior to anything in Antonioni's catalogue, for example, and it is actually the work of a coherent mind as well, placing him far above Antonioni when it comes to a sense of narrative.
		Not was it cut by more than 50%, but they changed the time line into a linear progression, thus destroying all possible meaning, and didn't even bother with the Ennio Morricone score, which would have been a sure Oscar nominee.

		"Once Upon A Time In America" is director, Sergio Leone's stunning tale of organized crime and the destruction it unleashes into the lives of four life-long friends.
		Once the film finally enters a flashback to its beginning, it gains momentum and definition, entering a coming-of-age gangster story not dissimilar to Vito's plotline in the second "Godfather".
		"Once Upon a Time", however, does not show the same restraint that was evident in the "Godfather" series: sex and violence are plentiful and brutal, and provide a sharp contrast to the otherwise elegiac tone.

	Once Upon A Time In America
		Leone's last film, the story of Jewish gangsters in Prohibition-era New York, is long, chaotic and confusing, but is nevertheless held together by the strong performances of De Niro and Woods.
		It suffers from the tempting comparison with the Godfather films, and the absence of the mythic grasp Leone displayed so masterfully in his westerns underlines its failure to work as a Proustian parable of time and loss.

	NFWS - Once Upon A Time In America
		By 1875, with America pushing hard Westward, its thriving ports with shipping from all over the world, the opening up of the vast expanses of the prairies to wheat growing, the thousands of granaries, wheat silos, mills, barns and goods warehouses springing up everywhere, effective rodent control became a national priority.
		This time, from about 1900 to the 1930’s was, without doubt, the heyday of the working ferret in the USA and has been very documented indeed, as we shall see.
		In those times, before the advent of drugs such as antibiotics and steroids, most breeders and keepers had their own ideas on treatments, if, that is, the problem was considered worth treating at all.

		It is high time that American critics and fans alike start to debunk their unquestioned, sloppy veneration of films like Sergio Leone's 'Once Upon a Time in America'.
		Even at this full running time, figures appear and disappear with alarming suddenness: the Deborah character is fleetingly established in child form, a cold and unattainable 'trophy' female, not even hinting at the gravity with which she will re-establish her relationship with a post-prison Noodles, the said re-union henceforth rings completely false.

		Once Upon a Time in America has a chequered history, having been chopped from its original 229-minute director's cut to 139 minutes for its theatrical release.
		Still, it is notable for the contrast between Leone's elegiac take on the gangster film and his occasional explosive action, as well as for the mix of the stoic, inexpressive De Niro and the hyperactive James Woods as his lifelong friend and rival.
		Once Upon a Time in America (OUATIA) is another excellent Leone film.

		Although Once Upon A Time In America is a worth inclusion on the gangster movies better than The Godfather list, Goodfellas is simply the most amazing gangster movie ever made.
		From the first time he flmails a cop who gets caught entertaining himself with an underage prostitute and thus asks him to "close an eye" in exchange for silence to his meeting with Max, who at first was a rival, then became eventually his best friend.
		A small comparison could be made to "Time Regained." While the "confusion" there was generated by the fact that memory is misleading, many facts here are hidden, confusing or hard to understand because such is life.

		Once Upon A Time In America is the final re-teaming of director Sergio Leone and composer Ennio Morricone, two titans of the film world whose previous collaborations were nothing short of brilliant.
		America is a four hour movie that’s told in a non-linear fashion.
		While not operatic as his previous scores for Leone’s films, Morricone’s style in America is closer to his work in The Untouchables and the unused What Dreams May Come.

	Once Upon A Time in America - Film Reviews
		For fans of Sergio Leone - this film marked the return of one of the great film directors of all time.
		However, I put this film in the same category as Citizen Kane - you need to judge it on it's own strengths, not by what has come before or after.
		The creation of four decades of New York, from the 1930's through the 1970's is flawlessly done - especially considering the non-linear story and how quickly it allows the view to leap into any given decade.

		Even though Once Upon a Time in America is stylistically better, thematically better, and has better actors, Once Upon a Time in the West is the perfect Western, indeed the best Western I can imagine it being possible to make.

		He rapes her because he is mad at her, he is confused, and realizes that this is probably the last time he will ever see her, so he must have sex with now or never.
