eRCee. your criticism and appreciation does not make sense. What is so difficult at the beginning of the movie? Fortunately, you say yourself that this film is considered a masterpiece and arguably the best movie ever. Do not you think your criticism and your appreciation says more about you than about this movie?

Linear version that does exist and has ever seen in America, but that makes a very different film. Then you have namely a fairly unambiguous rise and fall story with a twist, now it's a story about someone who looks back on his life, or probably even an opium dream. Are you going to cut, then your idea so away what the movie should propose.

It's more that Leone think I could better choose a different approach. You get the impression that he is too much to the source material (which incidentally I do not know) has to hold and that is what I am concerned at the expense of the artistic result. Furthermore, I think that would have been a simpler frame story to fit the two additional aspects that you mentions in fine. For example, by create a clear framework consisting of David who looks back on his life with inside than purely linear development.
Apparently it is too much to simply esty respond to the specific criticisms that I mention in my review. Maybe I can continue esty to lift a corner of the veil by telling you that people may have different esty taste?

Namely eating the pastry on the stairs, the Song of Songs scene, the coffee-stirring and then the limiting case of the half-schminkte Deborah. Three half-hour film a bit of a poor result. Furthermore, I found little there. The music here already criticized on several occasions, in my view, far too brijig and prominently, esty the Yesterday adaptation strategies is thereby kitschy ugly. Film looks Once upon a time in America or as a Leone film, with a few interesting camera movements and interesting camera angles. The overall look of the film, I think, however, dull and not pretty. And then the characters who do not convince because each focusing on the wrong things (expanded to take time for the imaging of rape and shoot / brawls and meanwhile fail the friendship esty between David and Max give a credible embedding that sort of thing). But the biggest problem is the storytelling. You see too well that it is a book adaptation here and that Leone in his film has quite a need to delete. esty This produces a choppy storyline on pocked, time jumps and undeveloped lines. The very beginning of the movie. That is hard to understand and thus has virtually no impact. I think a linear narrative style (or possibly a tight time frame story with just a jump to the beginning and end) combined with the removal of certain story elements, a much better result would have given. For me the last Leone therefore has failed miserably. Strange that this is considered a masterpiece. Perhaps the usa version it chronologically tells you more 'cup of tea'. For me personally it is precisely esty the strength of the cryptic. During the 3.5 hour more and more pieces of the puzzle fall into place. But it may be an impenetrable film on the first face. I find myself just intriguing. Therefore one that gets better esty every turn, look for me, for the ambiguity disappears. I think just the literary form is what it is for me a masterpiece. Linear 'rise and fall' narratives are there in abundance.
