This is one of Sergio Lionel's "American Trilogy", and it is the image of America in the 192s-6s in the eyes of Italians. The director changed the pattern of traditional Hollywood westerns and created the characters of American underworld people from a unique perspective.

In the United States in the 192s, new york boy nicknamed "Noodles" and several friends of the same age met the clever and cunning Max. They began to engage in smuggling. Soon, noodles killed people in a fight and were put in prison.

After several years, Tiao was released from prison, and his friends in those years have become mature and strong young people. Under Max's leadership, they returned to their old jobs and started a series of robbery, theft and extortion activities. With the deepening of criminal activities, Max seems to be carried away by victory. However, the cancellation of prohibition made the bootlegging business go up in smoke overnight. In order to achieve the final goal, Max even included the Federal Reserve Bank in his action target. Noodles with experience behind bars couldn't bear to see their friends go to ruin, so they secretly called the police and tried to force Max to stop. The police had a fierce gun battle with Noodle's friends, and Max and others were all killed. Noodles, in extreme regret and pain, left the place where they grew up, the girl they loved, and moved away from home.

Decades later, when I came back to my hometown, I was surprised to find that everything in that year was carefully planned by Max (12 posters). He borrowed noodles and the police to get rid of his partner, but he lost his shell and swallowed up the huge sum of money of the gang. After a makeover, he became a celebrity in the upper class and took the girl he loved with noodles as his own. Max, who can't get away from many accusations, begged Noodles to kill himself, imagining to redeem his sins and escape the trial of the law, but was rejected by Noodles. Max jumped into the garbage shredder in desperation and committed suicide.

1. The movie begins: In 1933

a group of killers were looking for "noodles" everywhere. The woman who killed him at his residence learned that noodles were in the Shadow Theater in Chinatown among the restaurant killers of her friend "Fat Mo". Above the Shadow Theater is the Smoke House. Noodles smoking opium saw on the news that three of his accomplices were killed: Manx, Squint and Patrick. In the illusion, he heard the phone ring and a carnival party appeared in his mind. He once called the police station at the reception, which killed three people.

He saw three bodies in the street after he came out of the smoking house. He can clearly recognize squints and Patrick from the face of the deceased. Manx's face was badly burned and unrecognizable. He came to Feimo's restaurant and let go of Feimo, who was tied to the ground. He killed the killer who stayed there and took a key from the vertical clock, saying that he now had money that could not be spent.

Noodles came to new york Central Railway Station, opened a small storage kitchen and took out a heavy luggage bag. Opening the bag, it was full of old newspapers, which shocked him. I don't know where to go under confusion. He bought a ticket at random and left new york.

2. 1968. Old noodles reappeared at new york Central Railway Station. I rented a car and went to a Jewish cemetery, where construction workers were moving tombstones. Noodles came to a friend's restaurant again. He told Fei Mo that he had received a letter from the synagogue, informing him that the graveyard of the synagogue had been moved, so that he could dispose of the graves of relatives and friends. But the graves of three friends have all been moved to a beautiful new site before this. The church said that the notice he received was sent eight months ago, and he just received it last week, indicating that it was not the church that sent him the letter. He told Fei Mo that someone had found his whereabouts and invited him back to new york for another purpose. He had a bad feeling.

I saw a group of photos of my childhood friends and a photo of Debbie, Fat Mo's sister, in the restaurant of Fat Mo. He walked into the familiar toilet, and the brick hole in the wall took him back to the distant past.

3. 1921. In the music, a beautiful little girl danced ballet in the miscellaneous room behind the toilet. Teenage noodles often watch Deborah dance in the toilet. She found out once and put him down. Girls like him, too. But I am very dissatisfied with his filth and boredom.

at that time, noodles were a street urchin. Picking out the pockets of drunks with three other companions, and being employed by a bastard named Ba Ge, blackmailing vendors. By chance, I met a little older than him, named Manx. From then on, they made money by stealing together. Took advantage of a disgraceful opportunity to subdue the patrolman on the street and run amok in the local area. Manx took them to hide a suitcase at the railway station, and everyone agreed that 1/2 of the income from each crime was kept in the suitcase. Because they didn't want to obey Brother Ba, they were beaten by Brother Ba and his gang. So Noodles vowed to kill Brother Ba for revenge.

They just saved money from the train station and were shot and chased by bully. The youngest Dominique was killed on the spot. Noodles killed Brother Ba crazily and stabbed a policeman, so they went to prison.

4. 1968. The old noodles came to the new cemetery and saw a brand-new memorial hall with three white marble sarcophagi engraved with the names of three friends who died 35 years ago: squint, Patrick and Manx. On the wall behind the door, I saw a bronze medal, which indicated that this memorial hall was funded by Noodles, a friend of the deceased. He was surprised. I also saw a key there, which is the key to open the small storage box. Noodles took the key and went to the train station again. They opened the suitcase, which was full of cash. It also says that this is paid in advance. The payer is hiring him to complete a big event, but there are no details.

Noodles took cash home. The familiar street view on the road took him back to the past: at that time, he had just been released from prison, and Manx drove a black coffin truck to pick him up.

in the late 192s. Manx pulled him to the back of Fat Mo Restaurant, away from the interface building. The flat-looking building is a paradise that never sleeps. In the era when selling alcohol was forbidden, they were drunk and drunk. Manx, they have already done a big job: opening casinos, underground nightclubs, brothels, and making a fortune. Because this is the back building of Feimo Hotel, noodles meet Debella who has grown up here. Debbie is already an accomplished actress.

In the back room, noodles were introduced to an underworld boss, who told them that they had a deal in Detroit to ask them for help and could get a large sum of diamonds. They robbed a jewelry store, and noodles raped a woman in the store. When you come back, kill two birds with one stone at the time of delivery, killing a group of people who came to pick up the goods. Manx advocated joining hands with the black hand boss behind this matter, but Noodles did not agree, which made Manx feel embarrassed and unhappy.

6. 1968. Noodles live in Feimo's shop. The "Bailey scandal" of New York State Secretary of Commerce is being broadcast on TV, saying that two people have been mysteriously killed in this case investigation. There is another face they know on TV. This person is the leader of the National Transportation Union. This reminds noodles of the experience of knowing this person in those days.

in the early 193s. When the trade union was organizing a strike, Jimmy, the leader of the trade union, was kidnapped by capitalist lackeys and threatened to sign a contract to return to work. Noodles and Manx kidnapped capitalists and forced each other to release union leaders. New york police chief broke the strike and let the police station in the factory. Just when the sheriff was proud, he found that someone had switched his precious son in the hospital. Noodles and Manx threatened the sheriff by switching babies, forcing him to withdraw the police from the factory, and the strike continued. A politician therefore suggested that they join hands with government officials and powerful trade unions to make a big deal after the prohibition ended. Noodles don't like politicians and advocate not getting involved in politics. From then on, he and Manx got into a knot.

7. 1933. In the back room of the underground nightclub, the gang four brothers once again saw Kailu, a woman from Detroit jewelry store. The woman was very attached to the man who raped him at that time, but she didn't recognize the noodles and only wanted to be close to Manx. She suggested a threesome with Manx and noodles. Noodles refused because he was "not that kind of person".

It turns out that he specially invited Debbie out to meet him. Because he made a fortune, he booked a seaside restaurant that was closed in the off-season and invited Deborah to dinner. In a private conversation, he learned that Deborah is still single and still misses her childhood friends. Noodles show love to Debbie. Debbie also said that he was the only man she cared about in her life. She promised to meet him independently because she was leaving for Hollywood the next day and just said goodbye. Debbie kissed the noodles on the bus leaving the hotel. Noodles raped Debbie. Break up in discord.

in December p>1933, prohibition was about to be lifted. The underworld boss is still staring at these four brothers, hoping that they will join hands to mediate politics and make bigger deals. Noodles are not dry. Manx said maybe he should get rid of noodles from now on. They went to Florida for their holiday together. At this time, they have accumulated 1 million yuan, and noodles think it is time to wash their hands. Manx said he wouldn't wash his hands until 2 million or 5 million. He told Noodles that he had an idea to rob the Federal Reserve Bank.

Carol, Manx's woman, advised Noodles to tell the police about Manx's plan to smash the bank. This will put him in prison and prevent him from dying while committing the crime. Noodles think this is a good idea. In order to protect the life of a friend, he called the police on the night of the carnival when prohibition was lifted. It was soon discovered that Manx and others were still robbing, three people were killed, and they have since avoided disaster.

8. 1968. Noodles recognized Jimmy, a trade union leader related to the Bailey scandal, and felt that their situation might be related to this incident. He began to investigate Bailey. First visited the luxurious Bailey Foundation. The host of the foundation was Carol, the woman of Manx. She said that the foundation was initiated by Bailey, a wealthy businessman and politician, fifteen years ago, but Bailey himself was not present. It was a beautiful actress who unveiled Bailey at the opening ceremony of the foundation. Noodles recognized that it was his lover Deborah.

Noodle was invited by Secretary-General Bailey to attend a banquet in Beifu, Long Island the next day. Noodles visited Deborah backstage at the Metropolitan Theater, hoping to find out who Bailey really was and why he was invited to the party. During the conversation, I learned that Bailey was a wealthy businessman who moved from Los Angeles. Although Deborah is still unmarried, she has lived with Bailey for many years. Deborah didn't know why Bailey invited noodles to dinner, but advised him not to go, or he would be disappointed. She advised him to leave, so as to preserve his memory of the past.

When leaving the theater, Noodles accidentally saw Deborah's son, who had been waiting politely outside the door. He looked exactly like Manx. Only then did I suddenly realize that Bailey was none other than his old friend Manx 35 years ago.

9. Knowing that it was Manx's invitation, Noodles went to the meeting on time. Just as Deborah was anxiously waiting for the noodles to appear, Manx had invited the noodles to the study to talk alone. Manx said that he will not live for a few days, because many politicians are involved in the current scandal and they will definitely get rid of him. Manx thinks that only Noodle has the right to kill him, because he owes Noodle a lifetime debt: he took millions of dollars for himself and robbed his girlfriend Deborah.

It turns out that Manx is the mysterious person who invited noodles from other places to new york, in order to pay off debts. He told Noodles that the bank smash was a scam from the beginning. Even making noodles snitch was a careful plan that he manipulated. Let Noodle kill him himself, and you can end this life feud.

But Noodles refused to do it, because he had already washed his hands, and he didn't want to get involved in political affairs. He left from Beifu. Bailey silently disappeared behind the garbage shredder.

ending: 1933. Noodles are addicted to cigarettes, imagining that they will have a million dollars by themselves, and falling asleep with a smile ... Edit this paragraph.
