SOOOOO chilling!!!! My God, this move is extremely rich with storytelling, every single scene cut out should be put back in, even if it ends up being a 4 hr cut!!
Isidro Garcia I am watching the 4 hour version right now. It's a nice movie, but some scenes change colours and such. They must be the ones that had been cut or I don't know.
I think some of those cut scenes were in varying stages of availability, so they could not be restored & mastered to the same quality as the rest of the movie. I heard somewhere that Martin Scorsese is working with Leone's children to help them get control of the rest of the footage so a full restoration can be possible.
Gee, I hope a fully restored lengthier version comes out soon. Isn't this year the 30th anniversary of it? I mean, adding in extra scenes will remove a lot of it's ambiguity, but some people might prefer that.
More evidence for the 'dream theory' here - Noodles remembers the incident where Max thinks he is chewed up in machinery and regurgitates it in a fantasy from his perspective at the end (when Max disappers behind the rubbish truck and he assumes he jumps in but doesn't see a body).
Max would never jump in the rubbish truck and he never want to die, he just got his new life again in front of Noddle's eyes like 35 years ago and he will get 12% his property this time.
@Sheikh_Shaq based on the directors comment it is. Though I like to take it as a partial truth mainly because of the transition from young to old. I have a hard time thinking that Yesterday a 1965 song was just a place holder song mainly because Leone is more deliberate with his choices. It also further assists to the year set in the film 1968. Something about the dream aspect has that little instances of Yesterday questioned. Yes it was used as a reminder to the audience in the final confrontation with Max but like I said how does he think up of the song if it would have to exist in the first place? I like to think he did go to New York but nothing else was made of it. He’s old and now called Robert Williams.
Yeah with the ambiguous ending who's to say if Max killed himself when Noodles saw him for the last time outside. I kinda thought he was thrown in by someone but there wasn't anyone else visible. But he could've just simply walked back inside as well. It's really something that made me think more about the film and it's up for interpretation. But this scene changes everything, so Max was blown up in a hit? I never seen this scene before. Though Sergio Leone said in an interview, if I remember correctly, that everything that happens in the movie after Noodles hits the opium pipe at the beginning is a dream. Opium is supposed to put you in a dream-like state and what we're seeing is his trip. But then again some may think defferently.
The only explanation I have come to about the exploding car is that it’s about to exit the spatial limit of Noodle’s dream - and so SL is showing that nothing exists outside of Noodles’ purview. This is repeated towards the end when the 1933 cars drive past him. They seem to come from no where. .
The guy in the car(by the way, its Cadillac Series 75 1966(maybe i'm wrong with the year))was James Lister. Right after this scene in the full movie you can see old Noodles and Fat Moe watching news in Moe's lounge. It was 10 November 1968.
It's the same car from restored scene #1! Why should Lister have stalked Noodles on the cemetery? James Lister died like this, yes. But this is the morning after the end, chronologically the very last scene. After Noodles declined to kill Max. In the final cut there is the uncertainty if Max kills himself or not. This scene however makes it certain that he didn't but staged another death of himself.
Good questioned So many awkward scene Yes how about diamond and Noodles himself,,Was he sunk with the car or what And switch to future exist this F truck and car explotion unclear Let just wake Noodles up and ask 😂
It’s a sad time in new America. I’m 18 and barely have any childhood friends, because the bonds aren’t like they used to be. People are always moving, loyalty isn’t a thing anymore, and there is no ethnic bond in neighborhoods. You don’t grow up with people the same way anymore. Makes me kind of depressed
Its a callback to their childhood, where Max fell off the boat and Noodles dived in to look for him. The implication is he's swimming his way up, or maybe swam under the boat.
Hey man, im so glad you uploaded these parts.. Do you know if there is any dvd from this movie around with the full lenght of the whole movie? if not, is it ever going to be out?
Martin Scorsese put together a restored version of the movie on blu-ray. It's 251 minutes long. Although the movie was meant to be between 6-10 hours long, this is the best we are going to get for now. I truly hope we're able to see the full film as Leone intended within my lifetime... Sad to know that Leone passed thinking that nobody in the US ever even saw the 3 hour version...
Noodles dies in the Chinese opium shop, his childhood is real, his time with the gang is real right up to where he calls Max crazy after he says about dropping him. He informed the police about the bank job and Max died with the rest. Noodles took his pain away by visioning a life where he makes his peace with Deborah and has his say with Max but there was no briefcase with $1million it was all his high and his comfort zone. I think Noodles last smile is looking up at one of the mafia guys after him for grassing on his crew and Noodles accepted his fate because there was no Max and Deborah all that was his dream of loss and showing them he lived his life but he didn’t he killed himself the day he called the police on his friends- for their benefit but it went worse than he could have imagined.
why do you keep repeating yourself on these vids? these scenes were dropped before they went through the expensive post production process that only finalized material usually gets treated with. that's why they look the way they do, they are unfinished. they would have been excellent additions to the film, but sergio leone was unfortunately forced to remove them due to the length of the film.
The aftermath of the car bombing was in the 229 minute version of the film. Noodles and Fat Moe are watching it on the TV news in Moe's diner. The car was apparently owned by Secretary Bailey (Max), and a district attorney who was going to testify in a court hearing was killed. Whether the car bomb was set by Max or not was never explained.
Where would this be in the original film? Like the part when they were young in this scene. Would it be in the flashbacks when Max is telling Noodles to shoot him?
It's the part where Noodles drives the car into the water after they double crossed the guy that were meant to sell the diamonds to..Noodles was upset that they never told him and he ends up driving the car into the river but they cut to a scene in the present after the car hits the water in the version I watched not with them in the water never seen that
I think this is as good as you're going to get right now. Just saw the restored version at the New York Film Festival and they looked like this. Washed out and old, but was grateful to see it in the context of the whole film and on the big screen!
jonathan baylis Just not sure if I want to spend my money to buy a cut of the film if a handful of scenes are restored very poorly, which will probably take me out of it (especially since I don't think they'll merge well with the restored HD footage from the previous blu ray release). Maybe, the blu ray that's getting released two days from now actually does have the restored footage remastered unlike the Italian release just because it is possible. If they don't remaster the new footage, I'll probably just torrent this version and wait for the studio to release a definitive cut with all the footage consistently remastered together, or failing that a restored fan edit is anyone ever gets around to it.
Godzilla52 I ordered the Blu-Ray, so I'll let you know if it looks the same, but my guess is that it will look like this. Someone suggested that it looked like a colorized black and white workprint. I'd have to agree.
jonathan baylis Thanks, I'd appreciate if you'd do that. The first restored cut (which I own on Blu Ray) Is one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm uber exited about watching the restored four and a half hour version, but the quandary i face about the quality of the restored footage is making my decision to buy it or not difficult. All and all though would you say that the restored version you watched in the NY film festival was better or worse than the previous restored cut of the film?
Godzilla52 If you're talking image quality, I'm sure it's the same except for those new scenes. If you're talking about content quality, I think the scenes add to the film.
i hears theres still some footige of noodels new girlfreind the blond one that got killd at the start of the film there was a lot more of hear in the story i would have like to have seen those . will those ever be restord
No! Max stalked Noodles with the same car on the cemetery in restored scene #1. In the 229 minute version it's not clear if Max killed himself by the trash-truck or escaped with it. Noodles didn't know either, so he spent a while there remembering the past (the flashback of him driving the boys into the lake) until it was dawn. Then the same car he saw on the cemetery left the mansion and exploded. This scene gives certainty that Max staged another death.
No, this scene is related to the car explosion that kills the district attorney, Max threw himself at night... Leone put the attention to some details and link them into the plot, genius! This movie is pure real masterpiece
@@gianlucapagnoni283 It's the same car you see in the restored scene #1 on the cemetery stalking Noodles. Why should the district attorney have stalked Noodles? This is the chronologically very last scene - after Max didn't threw himself into the garbage truck but escaped with it and staged yet another death.
@@Juri2711 disagree! I think the movie ends at night with Max throwing himself into the garbage truck. In this scene Noodles is studying the senator's villa (Max's villa) before going to the party. When he is at the party (later) Max told him that they blew up a car before the party (this scene we are discussing) because they want him dead and they thought he was in that car so he begs Noodles to kill him. In the car there was the district attorney by accident but it is Max's car hence it's the same that was stalking Noodles in the cemetery scene. Why Noodles stays all night and the day after around Max's villa? He doesn't feel guilty anymore since he didn't kill his friend betraying him... the movie ends at night, even the song at the end of that scene close the movie.
@@gianlucapagnoni283 Until yesterday I had no idea that the movie was meant to be six hours long. Spent the whole night researching and I think now your version makes more sense.
The first body that was allegedly Max was the cop who told the Mafia (Joe Pesci) that Noodles snitched on the gang. That's how the Italians knew and that's why they wanted Noodles dead in the first place. This was Max's second staged death.
@@Juri2711 Thank you for your answer. But if I understand correctly, you say that Max is not really dead. It's an interpretation, like a lot of things in this movie... For me, Max died with his comrades, because of the Noodles phone call...
THINK ABOUT IT...... an italian makes an EPIC about jewish gangsters who start in bootlegging and end in politics...... WHY would the MOVIE MOGULS - [all jewish] want to be OUTED by an italian in a MASTERPIECE??????? weinstein was no angel....
Because movie portraits ruthless killer,rapist,child abuser, worst kind of friend character as a good old man and victim. Yes noodles is shown that way

Rugved Avadhani i watched it on 123 movies. It ran for 4hours and 11 minutes if i’m not mistaken.
It is originally supposed to be a 6 hour cut but that version can’t be found anywhere.
So haunting... I don't know what it is but this film has got something deep soulful and , I don't know, something....
Completely agree and honestly I have to put it down to the soundtrack
@@rorypreston7178 Agreed, the soundtrack is one of the most impactfull ever done.
The music
@@rorypreston7178 yes 100%. And the camera work of Tonino Delli Colli takes it to a whole new level.
The music score
Great work by Woods screaming for his childhood friend.

@@Juri2711 no it's not. It's Max's car but his chauffeur was driving away James Lister. It then exploded.
Close...it was a 1968 Series 75 Limo
So they actually lost the diamonds and the money in the water ?
Pesci would have killed them. They haven't lost them.
Good questioned
So many awkward scene
Yes how about diamond and Noodles himself,,Was he sunk with the car or what
And switch to future exist this F truck and car explotion unclear
Let just wake Noodles up and ask 😂
Childhood friends . Nothing comes close.

People are always moving, loyalty isn’t a thing anymore, and there is no ethnic bond in neighborhoods. You don’t grow up with people the same way anymore. Makes me kind of depressed
It is time that Leone's films got the Criterion treatment.
Couldn’t agree more! It’s sad that 7 years later it still hasn’t happened!
@KELL II
6 hours? I thought Leone’s vision was 4 hours and 48 minutes?
this is so important scene to the movie so bad I didn't watch the director cut version
Its a callback to their childhood, where Max fell off the boat and Noodles dived in to look for him. The implication is he's swimming his way up, or maybe swam under the boat.
I think this is right after Noodles drives off the bridge after the stolen diamonds scene
Beautiful film

Don’t see the beauty in that.
What an ignorant person you are...
It's not for beauty but for the certainty that Max didn't kill himself.
What's restored about this??? It's color-bleached to a piece of shit.
You gotta admit it adds character. Sometimes, that slight faded look has a warmth about it.
