Once upon a time in america!
OpTiCaL:
" At the end, there is the final smile by Noodles, doped up on opium, the only time in the movie that he looks completely happy and at peace. Even though this is an earlier Noodles, this is Leone's way of depicting Noodle's return to normality after 35 years of grief. It is the perfect conclusion to this movie."
The other version on dvd is a single disc with extra's ...only around 3 hours n 30 mins...
...this is the full movie (or should be) as sergio leone first made it...as i said many cuts have been made over the years..thats why 5 versions...even different mixings of the film..as in the layout and timing of the story...one version even replaces the timeline of the story...
...this one is 2 discs and should be 4 hours and 25 mins...
...other ones .. tv version was cut for tv...3 hours n 10 mins...3 hours 46 for one of the origional versions...and 3 hours 42 for the cable version...

This is the one I have - I thought this was the real full length one
The one shown in cinemas was about 2 hours
OpTiCaL:
Yeah its all good mate...
...bloody good film anyway :)
yeah they didnt think that theatrical release would go down too well being that long so they cut it...
so you get the "ending" now bro ?
Jay ay Beee:
I understand what you're saying about it
Others say that the ending shows that the whole story was a doped up dream
OpTiCaL:
Ok mate...
...that excerpt in brackets about the "end" is from Sergio Leone himself describing the film and what he wanted to portray..
