Negative Positive
Title: Repelling film
Review: After watching this movie I sought Maltin's oppinion and immediately agreed with his one star, because the film made me nauseous.From young Noodles sitting in the common toilet to let a girl barge in, to the final scene in the opium parlor where DeNiro grins showing crooked, dirty teeth, this movie is a long series of abominable scenes emphasizing filth and squalor, with plenty of shots of decrepit slums, slubbered dwellings and decaying people.The main characters are a bunch of cruel... ready to cheat, murder and rape at any time. Leone's view of humankind is deranged: junk ready for crunching, as happens in that forlorn scene where we are forced to testify garbage mulching. Civilized life has its down side but it isn't useless. Leone's dim view was entirely biased, if not downright psychotic.
