I am a big fan of Sergio Leone. He was truly one of the big masters of cinema. His way to mix sound and pictures is masterful. I have seen the godfather trilogy many times and have always heard very much about it. "Once upon a time in America" is no film that anybody has talked so much about. I love the music, I love the way the film is done and I love the acting. This big epic is one of the best gangster films ever.
If you must compare it to the godfather trilogy maybe I choose godfather because it lies a bit closer to my heart(I have seen the film all since I was a kid). I think that this film could be too long and to boring for some people but for me it's a study of one mans regret. I really like the mysterious mood in the film. For any fan of film this is a must. 10/10
