ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA: (Extended Director's Cut) - Trailer - Sergio Leone, Robert De Niro 

@@AdamMetwally Why doesn't anyone go into Italy and look for it in the places it would be if that's true?

@@Mr.Goodkat I wonder that myself. For example, theres a guy who owns a rare copy of an English dub of Federico Fellini's 8 1/2 right here on RU-vid who could make it available to the public right now if he wanted to but he's just sitting on it (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GcdyCMOoRsM.html). These lost copies tend to be locked behind selfish copyright owners I'm afraid.

@@AdamMetwally It hurts to think about.

I just want to add, the extended Director's Cut is out of print in America, I have no idea why.

@@hipsterelephant2660 Christ, I just noticed yeah. And on ebay every copy is going for $80+. It's gone out of print

No, wrong. The reason for that OUATIA has not got the recognition is because it was brutally cut down with hours of screen-time by the producers for the american release. Not just that, the film (again, in the american release) was put into chronological order which made the film not make sense. The discussion that you are talking about is quite silly, since his movies ironically were a CRITIQUE on the usual Western-movies who treated women as ”symbols” instead of actual people. Have a great day, not trying to be rude or anything, but just wanted to explain your errors

@@Hnchmchl85 No, not really. I just explained why the movie has not got the recognition. The film, that was seen in its original form (the good version) in European countries got praised and got a 15 minutes standing ovation at the Cannes festival.

@@Hnchmchl85 okay then, you don’t like this movie and we like this movie. You finished? You’re gonna be a loser about it? Because that’s exactly what you do. You go around in its videos just because you want to hate on it. Can you go more silly than that? I don’t think so. So if you really don’t like anything about this movie (even though the score, cinematogrophy, the filmmaking style and the rawfulness shown in the gangster are one of the greatest ever, in my and many others opinion), which is your right, why won’t you leave and quit hating about it, because no one gives a damn about you wanting attention.

@@someguy1098 Someone deleted this fools comments, thank fuck, I only needed to read the correct version and explanation from you, now im not feeling annoyed by some dumb clown looking for attention by stating ignorant shit. thanks for schooling the fool < 3

@@duckyorwell9416 ahahah yeah. Though I think that he deleted the comments himself ;)

Hi Unappreciated Treehouse, you're right that the rapist is nonchalant about his actions. Even the driver ignores Deborah's screams of pain and keeps driving until its way too late. Why does he wait so long to stop the car? I dont know. Maybe its a comment about how the Mafia were tolerated during the prohibition era and that's why they got away with so much nasty stuff? I dont know, but I want to try to defend the film: I dont think Leone made this movie to dismiss rape incidents. I think he is interested in portraying gunslingers as not romantic, and interested in offering insight on how criminals try to justify sexual violence. Two pieces of reasoning make me come to this conclusion: A) - Carol is heavily implied to have some masochistic tendencies. She's not a self-respecting woman like Deborah, and during the robbery she actively demands Noodles to hit her and "make it look real". There's a thrill to it for her. On the other hand, you have Deborah, who has completely rejected Noodles by the time of the dinner date. She's got aspirations to succeed and to make a good name for herself in America. She wants the American dream, and that means not getting involved with Noodles because he is a petty criminal who was sentenced to jail for 10 years. When Noodles rapes Deborah, she never forgives him and tries to enact revenge on him by fucking his best friend Max and giving birth to a son. Despite the incident which she hasnt forgotten, Deborah still manages to succeed in life. In the end she's won and has the career she wanted, meanwhile Noodles is some nobody smoking opium in some Chinese den. B)- All of Noodles' sexual experiences at this point have amounted to sex with Peggy for money and sex with Carol by force. But he always wanted Deborah. So Noodles having failed to buy sex with her by extravagantly spending money on a lavish dinner date for her, does the only other thing that has worked for him up to this point. He uses force. You then realize where Sergio Leone has taken you. The first rape explains the second. This is how a criminal has to justify his evil actions. Once Upon a Time in America is kind of like the bookend to the classic American gangster movies. We dont get anymore Godfathers, Bonnie and Clydes, or Untouchables after it. That naive cheeseball romanticism dies out of Hollywood and from then on its super cynical and Scorsese-like with bloodbaths and massacres.

@@AdamMetwally The portrayal of rape in this film as delightful for Carol or just a slight bother for Deborah is so far from plausible that it's beyond any rationalization you may offer. No over analyzation of the film can transform the plot from pointless to believable. The films clumsy attempt to convey a meaningful message fails from June 1, 1984 to the present.

​@@unappreciatedtreehouse821 I'm not going to do any further over-analyzation or rationalization. It's just that you said Carol's rape was "so far from plausible" that it became unbelievable for you. Would you still call it implausible in light of the four points below? A) The 1930s were not a pretty time for women or for gender rights B) Sex workers have historically suffered a high incidence of sexual assault C) Carol's character is a masochistic prostitute, and she's directly the one who suggests the bank theft D) Of those who report their rape, around 5% also describe experiencing sexual arousal or pleasure Suspense of disbelief is not shared to the same degree in everyone, but can you see why some might have no trouble believing the events that take place in the film?

@@AdamMetwally I thought you weren't going to do any further over-analyzation or rationalization? I'm terribly sorry to disappoint you but my opinion hasn't changed. The plot, especially the treatment of rape is implausible, not believable and fails to convey a meaningful message. All of which render the movie pointless.

​@@unappreciatedtreehouse821 rape is portrait glamorously and Deborahs rape is romanticised. Sergio Leone said that noodles actions was from despair,love and respect. Their "love story" continues and we see noodles on the train station, then he is depressed,35 years later still in love with tears. Deborahs greets him, cares for him "oh noodles dont go in the evil Max's Party" 😅 Deborahs rape was romantic act for Sergio Leone and he was badly criticized and he hated it and never spoke about this scene ever again. Good for critics! Have a nice day

@@maxrings73 Thanks

I agree. Btw your sword rhymes video is fire

@@AdamMetwally thank you

Most definitely

@@Hnchmchl85 bruh what

@@Hnchmchl85 Watch your language,boyo

the two-disk special edition on amazon should include a version of the extended director's cut. its the same product, just a different packaging

@@AdamMetwally I watched it a few days ago. It was amazing albeit kind of disturbing. Good thing I ordered the four hour cut because the first copy I bought never showed up.

@@Hnchmchl85 Your superhero movies are over there.

This extended cut is 251 minutes. It is not the "proper version" but it is the closest available version we will get to Sergio Leone's original cut (remember, he wanted Once Upon a time in America to be 6 hours long and released in two parts)

Wait, there is a SECOND Director’s Cut version?

@@AdamMetwally but I wonder if this is essentially the version from Cannes that got a 15 min standing ovation

@@Heb.2000 the version that received a standing ovation at Cannes in 1984 is the 269 minute cut (4h29min), which is no longer available anywhere today. The Extended Director's cut is 251 minutes (4h11min) and was shown at Cannes in 2012. They are not the same. 19 minutes were cut due to copyright issues.

hey dumbass, the movie was funded by a Jewish Man: Arnon Milchan.

You'll have to find a disc copy, but they're out of print now and go for quite a bit of money.

Just watched the 4 hour version on popcorn time. Don't listen to what that idiot says. The 4 hour version is the best.

@@faraazalarakhia4131 ya it's the best one I saw it

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_APmVdXm4Xw.html at 59:25 in "Suite from Once Upon A Time In America." Unfortunately its not a real music track but a short composition made specifically for the film

@@AdamMetwally thanks alot dude, have a good day
