Why is it considered a masterpiece?

No clue. Way too long. Saw netflix added it a while back but it would take me a week to get through it.
Camden Lewis
Because it is
>too long
are you 14? Can you not sit still and pay attention to something long?
Cooper Howard
I don't mind watching hours worth of tv shows as long as I have my phone with me, but seriously look at the runtime for this movie it's ridiculous.
Ryan Torres
There is nothing wrong with a 3 hour and 45 minute hour movie
Benjamin Lopez
the first third its magnificent, sadly you have to judge it by the whole thing
Ryder Anderson
OP here. I watched the 251 min cut and it did feel like it was shorter than it actually was but I did not care the way I felt I should have. Maybe cause I have been conditioned to feel mob films should be a certain way or whatever. Impressive filmmaking but lacked insofar as emotional resonance was concerned. I can watch the last duel in Once Upon a Time in The West a dozen times over any scenes in this film. Also, why did he choose the Jewish mob over the Italian one? Did he feel the latter was too oversaturated?
Sebastian Morgan
Endgame was 3 hours and felt short. This one didn't. That's probably the directors fault but I also don't like old movies either so maybe I'm bias.
Michael Edwards
>Endgame was 3 hours and felt short.
There it is
Caleb Reyes
What?
Jeremiah Murphy
so you want to watch videogame cut scenes for 3 hours?
Tyler Jenkins
Jennifer Connelly's 14 year old bare ass.
Ryder Thompson
Sure, it was great and kept me glued to the screen.
Leo Wood
Every time I see someone complain about a quality film being “too long” they out themselves as a drooling capeshit retard by mentioning Marvel films manage to be both long AND fun!!1! It happened a lot for example when Suspiria came out. Interesting phenomenon, you lot always bring it up yourselves, like New Yorkers. Almost like you’re eager to show that you’re soulless and braindead, but that wouldn’t make sense. Very strange!
Brody Wilson
ZOOMER FUCKING SHIT
Logan Watson
Because Jennifer Connelly was 12 and got nude. Otherwise it's a tedious snore!!!FACT!!!
Cooper Smith
because its so realistic
like if you look at the poster
you see the 1960s projects
in the background of the poster
which should be of a scene
from 1920 something
Justin Miller
probably not her
Ayden Hall
>The movie was too long
Jordan Adams
It's possible to like things other than comic book movies. Just because I like endgame doesn't mean my opinion about this movie is wrong.
Jacob Evans

The score is amazing.
Nathaniel Williams
Has anyone ever seen the whole thing?
Levi Moore
You're killing cinema, pleb. Thanks a lot.
Luis Gutierrez
How? I bet you don't even pay for movies, you just pirate them.
Evan Perez
Not her, but you guys can dream.
Ethan Peterson

I’m sure it’s disconcerting for you, but yes, it actually does.
It’s not as simple as you casually “liking” it. You brought it up yourself. You really truly like it. You have shit taste.
Blake Morris
Endgame did exactly what it was suppose to do. It was long and kept people entertained the entire time. This movie didn't.

Correct, it was “suppose” to be an artless, soulless plastic product that would appeal to as many tasteless, basic “consumers” as possible, in which company you proudly count yourself. Nobody is going to this crowd for its opinions about classic films. That you don’t like this movie is very much in your programming, and nobody is surprised.
Matthew Fisher
One of my favorite movies. The whote act with them as kids reminds me of myself at that age.
Landon Barnes
You are so pretentious. I like endgame, loved it actually, but I also enjoy classics like Shawshank Redemption or Pulp Fiction. You're generalizing way too much.
Jaxson James
Doesn't it show a butthole?
Brody Barnes
>classics
kek
Isaiah Wright
Are you acting like a zoomer on purpose?
Alexander Morales
either you are actually redditor or this is some top tier baiting
David Kelly
James Woods was probably the best thing about it. I wouldn’t recommend having sex while your in the middle of robbing a bank. The rape scene was weird.
Lucas Russell
>You are so pretentious. I like endgame, loved it actually,
>pretentious
It is also in your programming to resort to this. Very predictable defense mechanism of the soilent NPC.
Despite what reddit told you, art isn’t subjective. There are people with good taste and people with bad taste. The fact that you have bad taste doesn’t make people with good taste “pretentious”, it means you’re lacking. Hope you have better luck in your next incarnation.
Ethan Brooks
gr8 b8 m8
Luke Wood
4-5 times including the newest cut where De Niro rapes a broad
Tyler Turner
That rape scene in the car is rape kino. They shot that scene over a dozen times which isn't even remotely close to how many loads I've blown while watching the scene.
Tyler Nguyen
You seriously going to sit there and tell me those movies I listed are bad? They're beloved for a reason.
Charles Perry
what was the message behind that scene?
Carter Robinson
boner fuel
Connor Thomas
Noodles was a piece of shit and we shouldn't sympathize with him
Carter Rogers
biased, lad. You're biased. You have bias, you are biased.
Jaxson Cox
You don’t have to be hopeless to have bad taste. The fact that you “loved” Endgame and bring it up as superior to Once Upon A Time In America makes your two cents worthless, for any art. That you also like some wellrespected movies is fine but irrelevant. If you love the taste of literal shit but also enjoy fine dining that doesn’t make you any less gross.
Aaron Kelly
I know this is bait but I hate you faggot
Ian Wright
Tried watching it... got a little less then halfway and quit. It was too boring.
Justin Evans
It's a shame your good taste in film didn't help your reading comprehension. I never said endgame was better, I said that endgame handled being a long movie much better than this. This had so many scenes that dragged on, that were unnecessary. It could have easily been cut down. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's good.
Mason Sanchez
I ver much understood what you’re saying, this is semantics. Endgamedid nothing better than Once Upon A Time InAmerica, or any classic ever.
Jace Harris
not him, but what if i'm of the opinion that while I enjoy Endgame more than OUATIA and would choose to rewatch Endgame 100x over, I also recognize the latter is more valuable as a work of art and should be preserved over Endgame
where does that put me?
Levi Hughes
It made more money. It connected with more people. It was the finale of a series that lasted over a decade spanning 20+ movies that all succeeded. It had better character development. It had better stakes. It had better themes.
Jose Peterson
The first part felt like the ending to a movie that you haven't seen yet and dragged on for too long. The part of the movie where they were all kids was KINO, the rest was okay.
Jeremiah Price
Prententious limp wristed pleb
Isaiah Parker
Masochist, I guess.
Thomas Collins
I literally can’t anymore with you user, sorry. Maybe you’ll find another sparring partner. This exchange has been ennervating.
Jose Moore
Knew you wouldn't be able to win. Too bad you'll still hide behind your smug sense of superiority for liking something that came out decades ago. This could have been a valuable lesson learned but we both know you won't do that.
Colton Clark
>wants to discuss a specific movie
>derailed by baiter
Talk about OUaTiA instead of retarded baiter, idiots
Xavier Jenkins
Agreed. Everything before the mid 90s either looks like shit or is too slow or usually both.
Jacob Williams
It's a great film, honestly I'd give it a second viewing if you weren't too into it the first time.
Admittedly some of the stuff is a little hard to follow (like James Woods' character somehow becoming an important politician under a disguise) but it's worth the journey.
Leo Lopez
If you want a good old movie I definitely recommend 12 Angy Men. One of the best movies I've ever seen. Outside of that I'm with you, film making got a lot better when you compare the stuff today to decades ago.
Evan Peterson
I tried to marathon this movie in one sitting. Couldn't do it
Cameron Russell
Poor bait
Aiden Brooks
ITT: retarded zoomers
Jordan Taylor
>implying this sort of stuff is bait these days
You're in for a rude awakening
