But other characters also have their own love stories. Not all of these are based on romance; some characters have companions of the platonic variety, though not everyone ends up with their perfect match.

Why Is Nobody Talking About The Misogyny In Once Upon A Time In America?
Last night I sat down to watch what I thought was an essential cinema classic - Sergio Leone's Once Upon A Time In America. I was expecting a sweeping epic tale of romance, friendship, and betrayal. Minus the romance, the film half-heartedly delivers on those promises, with a score to match. In fact, Ennio Morricone's compositions are too idyllic and romantic for the film. The almost four-hour story fails to develop its characters, and no matter how alike the young/old acting counterparts may look, little harmony exists between the two sets of characters they play. An exception can be made for the protagonist, Noodles, who is a terrible person, but for reasons that remain unclear, the film wants us to sympathize with him.
