The unsurpassed legendary work, a movie to see all the life!

When I was young, I listened to the rain and sang upstairs, the red candles dimmed the tent, but now I listen to the rain under the monk's cottage, and my temples are already starry. In 1933, in the rainy night in New York City, three bodies were found in a mess, two bodies were shot dead, and another was burned beyond recognition. A middle-aged man hiding in the crowd of three dead officially and he was born together for many years of brothers, at the moment she also. Can only watch all this, it is a sad memory. The owner of this memory is the man nicknamed Noodles. At this moment he is lying in a shadow theater in Chinatown smoking marijuana. He was holding a newspaper with the news of the murder of three criminals. Noodle had sadness in his eyes, as if he had aged overnight. And at the same time, danger is slowly approaching, a group of black-clad men are searching for Noodles in the West Court. Noodles escaped through the back door with the help of the theater owner. After escaping, Noodles learns from his childhood friend?

He learns that the men in black have killed his old lover, Efe, in order to find him. Noodles then took a key and turned his back on Moore and said, I can't spend all the money now. Moore responded, yes, now all that money is yours. Noodles took the key and opened a locker in New York Station, which was the common property of their five brothers, and now he was the only one left. Noodles was ready to take the money and go into hiding, but when he opened the box, he found a stack of newspapers inside. After double-checking, Noodles walked to the station, where he bought a one-way ticket to Buffalo. One-way ticket to the city left the sad place of New York. Thirty-five years passed, and in 1968, Noodles returned to New York again. He found the worker, took out a letter, and said that although he had gone incognito, the person who sent it knew where he was hiding, which meant he could no longer hide. He returned to New York this time to find out the truth that had haunted her for 35 years.

Originally she thought it was Moore who took the money in the box, so he didn't pursue it 35 years ago, but after seeing that Moore is now even poorer than before, his inner doubts have grown heavier. Know the money? Only six people, his four brothers have all died, only Moore and he himself know the existence of the money. So who actually took the money? Noodles looked at the pictures on the wall, the past is like smoke, thoughts. He slowly walked to the bathroom, then glued to the toilet lid, looking in through a small hole in the wall. As when he was a child, Noodles always liked to peek through here at Moore's sister Deborah dancing, Deborah's delicate dance occupied the teenager's head, and he looked through this small hole as if by magic. Relying on his own youth and ignorance. Time back to 1921, when the noodles or a little punk who has nothing to do all day long, in addition to lat for the block boss bug as a little brother, noodles favorite thing to do is to hide in the Moore's restaurant toilet to spy on Deborah. However, Deborah is not at all polite to the temperamental Noodles, and even said he was like a cockroach crawling on the wall of the toilet. Noodles has three other buddies, and the four are responsible for completing the small tasks given to them by the bug. Once, the four intended to rob an alcoholic, but unexpectedly their plan was first interrupted by the background long. Then they were passed by a teenager named Max Jiao Le ju, a good coincidence, a few days later Noodles ran into Max again, the two were fighting over a pocket watch when the sheriff appeared to snatch the pocket watch and said to confiscate.

In this way, noodles and Max stood on the same front, they secretly filmed the laundryman and the sheriff sneak attack, and as a threat to put forward two conditions, first, they have to and the laundryman each to a round, the sheriff pay, second, the sheriff to act like a bug, the future to them also open one eye and close one eye. No way, the sheriff can only agree, said Mike on the way out. Eat and never get hard. Passover day, noodles slipped into the home of Deborah did not close. In the barn, Noodles did not dare to breathe a breath. Just as the two were kissing, Max appeared to disrupt them. Max is outside chewing on Noodles, and Deborah says, "Go ahead, your mom is calling you. Noodles went out to meet Max, Max wanted to take advantage of the holiday store no one to go to a big fortune, but then the bug appeared. bug never allows someone to fly solo in their own territory, the two were beaten up, when noodles covered in blood standing outside the door for help, Deborah but quietly locked the door, perhaps. The 20s was during the prohibition period in the United States, and many people made their fortunes by selling bootleg alcohol. As the 19 tycoon's goods are all by water, once checked, they must sink the goods to protect themselves. Instead, Noodle brought his new invention, relying on balloons along the river can be successful. The goods will be delivered safely, and in this way my people made a lot of money. Then the joint fund founded at the suggestion of Max, they took out half of each income as a common property into the box in the station locker, and gave the key to Moore, but do not tell him the purpose. Only in the presence of five people at the same time, Moore can give them the key. Because my people stole bug's job, so the trouble soon found them.

Bug shot the youngest Dominic, who was lying in Noodle's arms and said only one word. Noodles killed bug in a fit of rage in order to avenge Dominic's death, and in a fit of insanity. At the same time, what about the police who came to stop, Noodles was sentenced to prison for this. More than a decade later, Noodles completed his sentence and was released from prison, Max greeted Noodles at the prison gate, and also called a prostitute to let her solve her needs in the car. Noodles in prison for so many years, Max with two brothers business grew and under Moore's hotel. Opened a speakeasy, Noodles met the other two brothers in the bar, pie interest and slant eyes, but also met Moore's sister Deborah. At this time Deborah was also a member of the Palace Theatre. After many years, the two met again, looking at each other's front, but chatting about painless topics. Then Max handed away the noodles.

Go ahead, Deborah said, your mother is calling you. Max received a business deal, a friend of the local boss knows the whereabouts of a batch of diamonds, he wanted to ask Noodles and them to go to Detroit to rob the diamonds, so Max a few people with white sand. Break into the office on the jewelry to rob the jewelry, when the female secretary but proposed to let Noodles rape her, Noodles on the spot and he had a round. Then Max several people got the payment and then killed the man to rob the diamond. This is the request of the local boss. This unethical deal made Noodles angry, and he told Max that this boss would probably use the same method against them later. But Max was unconcerned and felt he was making the wisest choice by doing so. As Noodles and Max's business expanded, soon politicians began to engage with them as well. Ten's union president Jimmy Conway led the workers in a crusade against the capitalists, so he was kidnapped by the big capitalists. But Max a few people on the next Jimmy Conway, and coerced him to cooperate with the politicians, because the politicians want to use the union to get benefits from the capitalists, and to make this happen, but also to fix the police chief. So Noodle a few people switched the chief's newborn son with the other children in the hospital. The sheriff had four daughters in a row, and the birth of this son was undoubtedly a treasure. In this way, the sheriff like noodles a few people compromised, just when they were celebrating, squinting eyes found the pig.

The female secretary on the Internet. They called the female secretary into the room, and then put on the white veil mask. The female secretary remembered making negative contact with one of them, so the four men pulled their pants down and let him track with pragmatic people. The female secretary chose Max, and also enthusiastically invited Noodles. It turns out that Noodles has finally worked up the courage and plans to confess his love like Deborah tonight. He had chartered an upscale seaside restaurant when she was young and afraid she couldn't catch love. Now he wants to get back what he once lost to be broadcast la, said to Noodles, you used to be the only person I cared about, but you were also the one who locked me in and you threw away the key. Deborah says he has to work toward his goal and she doesn't want to be stuck where she is.

It looks as if the two are listening to the most beautiful music in front of the most beautiful window in the world, but their hearts are. The more distant they are, even though they are embracing each other at the moment, Noodle speaks the most beautiful words of love to Deborah and pours out the deepest thoughts. But Deborah said that he met with Noodles tonight to tell him that he was leaving for Hollywood tomorrow. On the way home from Songdaebra, Deborah sends a kiss to the silent Noodles, yet Noodles is not satisfied with a kiss, and he puts Deborah down in the car, though Deborah's resistance rapes her. Finally, the driver who couldn't look away drove Noodles out of the car, and the moody Noodles went to a bar to buy drunken soldiers and a machine called clothes. The woman got into bed and Noodles took the clothes as Deborah and kept calling Deborah's name in bed and kept chanting Yakuza in a daze. The next day, Noodles rushes to the station to see the representative off. However, the train had already started and Deborah saw Noodles outside the train slowly pulling down the curtains. After Deborah left, Noodles was in a slump for a long time, and their business was at its most critical juncture when the government official who had been entrusting them with the job gave them the news that the government's ban on alcohol was about to be repealed.

This means that their poetry and wine business can no longer be done, so Max would like to enter the political arena as soon as possible, but Noodle is not willing to collude with politicians, and the two? This quarrel was not fruitful and ended unhappily. Soon after, the news that Prohibition would be repealed hit the newspapers. Max says he has an idea that he will rob a federal bank. Noodle says that Max must be crazy. The female secretary finds Noodles and wants him to stop Max. Noodle thinks about it and decides to go to the police station and turn himself in so that he can at least keep them alive. On the night Max declares the bar over, everyone drinks as much as they want Noodles. Leaving the bar after stabilizing his clothes, he decides to call the police and turn himself in, but Max follows him and he knocks Noodles out. Noodles wakes up and feels the entrance to the Federal Bank to see three dead bodies instead. Time travels back 35 years to 1968, and Noodles arrives at the destination where his three best friends were buried, only to find that the new destination is an opulent cemetery. Noodles finds a plaque and a key on the wall, which is actually signed by Noodles. He then finds what appears to be a car following him at the door, and Noodles writes down the license plate number. Noodles then, with na. Opened the key to another locker and found that inside was a suitcase, which contained the very fund they had saved back then. Noodles was full of doubts and decided to continue his search for the truth.

He finds the car according to the license plate, but the car explodes just as it makes it out the door. Noodle returned to the bar and learned from the TV that the owner of the car was the Secretary General of the Department of Commerce, Mr. Beryl, and that the person in the car was a prosecutor who went to investigate the Bailey scandal, only to meet with misfortune just outside the Bailey mansion, and coincidentally, a month ago, another witness related to the Bailey scandal also fell to his death. The media were speculating that the deaths of the two were likely related to Bailey. Then Noodle saw a familiar face on TV, union president Jimmy Conway. Noodle felt that the whole thing revealed something strange, so he found the foundation founded by Bailey, where he found a group photo, which made him surprised and happy, because the person sitting in the photo was none other than Deborah, the woman he had been dreaming about all his life. It turned out that Deborah had also returned to New York and was now performing Shakespeare's plays at the theater. After the performance, Noodle went backstage to find Deborah 30. years have passed, the bitter love between the two still can not draw a conclusion. This string of silent ellipses, a sigh of relief after you have passed more than 30 years, how many 30 years of life? The past is unbearable, he has been unmarried, he has not married. Yet the truth is not what we think it is. Deborah removes her thick makeup, the years have spared no one, and wrinkles have crept up her cheeks. Noodles asks Deborah who Bailey really is. Deborah looked a little flustered. Deborah admitted that he was Bailey's lover for many years. Words Bailey lived together, then he said, we are old, memories are the only thing we have left. If you go to the party, the only memories we have left will be gone. Deborah begged Noodles to leave through the side door and not turn around, but Noodles opened the front door. Then he met a young man. In a trance, Noodles thinks he has seen Max again, because she is exactly the same as the young Max. Suddenly, Noodle understood everything, Bailey is actually Max, the year he designed a golden cicada, killing two brothers, himself changed. Change the face with the five brothers of the fund mixed into the political world, accumulating a lot of wealth at the same time, but also let the brother's favorite woman gave birth to his son. But all this is just a blur, and now Max is in crisis, five days later he will face a trial confidential. Conway threatened Max to sign a will, so that he died to hide the truth, so that Max can also leave his son 12% of the inheritance code, he will be left with nothing. Desperate, Max could only sign the will. Jimmy Conway left after Noodles came to the party to find Max, after many years, the two former best friends meet again, love and betrayal, time and memories.

The reason Max invited Noodles was to use his hand to kill himself. Max said, I took your money, killed your brother, and stole your woman, don't you want to kill me? Noodles, however, stared blankly at the pistol and fell into deep thought. Past events came back to him, and if possible, he wanted to remember for a while longer. Noodle said to Max, I have killed people into a fine, but also a lot of people have come to us, business partners, rivals, lovers. We accept some jobs and reject some, but a commission like this one is one we will never touch. Max asked, "Are you punishing me for this? Noodle shook his head and said, This is how I see life. Finally, Noodle told a story, he said, Secretary General, many years ago I had a dear friend, I tried to save him and put him in prison, but he was killed, but that's exactly what he wanted, we were like brothers, we both ended up in a miserable way, good night, Mr. Bailey. With that, Noodle left Max's mansion through the side door. The late-night garbage mixer suddenly starts up and Noodle turns around to see Max walking toward him, then suddenly jumps into the garbage mixer. Then the slicing piercing sound comes and Noodles watches the dim tail lights of the car slowly disappear into the night.

Time went back 35 years, and Noodle came to that shadow theater again. He lay down on the bed and took a few sharp puffs of marijuana, then fell into a psychedelic state as if it was all just a dream. Then he looked up at the ceiling and smiled.

After watching this movie is like experiencing a lifetime, when the elderly Noodle see Deborah and Max again, it is as if he is relieved of everything, all the delusions become less important, of life. Out of a group of people on the road, the fall of the curtain, a person alone. The most loved one, ah, the one placed in the heart, his mouth of the elegant song seems to still ring in the ears, my good man, white and red, beyond the million. His eyes revealed a little naivety and stubbornness, he was eager to fly, but she was too young to know that all the gifts given by fate, early B in the dark marked the price.
