Been on my watchlist for ages now.
How do y'all kino-holics on /tv/ like it?
RATE!!!
It's too long. It has great moments and the settings, plot and acting are great but it drags at times. I'd give it a 7.5/10 if I'm being really strict.
The childhood scenes is pretty comfy, also suicide by trash compactor was absolute madman moment.
9 of 10 that still haven't got the release it deserves on blu-ray. Only faggots thinks it's too long.

Literally the best mafia movie of all time
Bravo Leone

Oh crap. What's wrong with the blu rays? I was considering picking a copy up here in a week or two. Is it a shit transfer?
>>79052543
Shitty transfer.

Fuuuuuuuuckk.... Guess I'll just have to find a torrent until they can quit jerking off to the beauty of the 4K transfer they've made but not yet publicized. For shame.

that movie was so shit and boring i literally dont remember anythig about it, and mafia movies are my jam. Sopranos is my #1 show and Godfather 1-2 are my #1 movies.
How was it legal they showed a naked teenager in this movie?

Bagh, lame that you didn't like it. I feel I should watch it at least once in my life though given it's reverence and status as a seminal work of not only the mafia/gangster genre, but film in general. Sopranos and Godfather are both great. >: )

they did it before in godfather 1 at least
I don't like it at all. Leone has a really weird romanticism for a character with literally no redeeming qualities. The way he tries to paint rape as a tragic thing for the guy is hard to justify
And the pacing is awful. It's not long and slow in a cerebral way, like the comparably long A Brighter Summer Day which just flies by. This just has so many scenes that never fucking end or never seem to go anywhere. I'm not sure which cut I watched, but it really just felt like a rough cut with no major editing done yet

bottom line this movie is a fucking mess i agree, no wonder it never got anywhere
>>79053439
I don't think the rape in particular was supposed to be tragic for deniros character, the whole film is tragic.

The version i watched he just looks at the compactor?
Anyhow its a solid 8.5/10 for me, seen it 3 times. The pan flute motif, the period sets and constumes, the characterization is rich and endearing. No complaints on acting, casting is superb.
Whats not to like? Its long, its a feature not a flaw. If he did throw himself into the compactor like anon said I would say thats a much more satisfying ending than him just walking off down the street.
