Deborah's Theme (Once Upon a Time in America)---Ennio Morricone

[@gilcostilla3302]

Ennio Morricone was my son's favorite composer. My son passed away five years ago. Forever thirty one years old. The grief and the heartache is still there. I feel so guilty still being alive. He was my only son, I loved him so much.

[@jenniferclarke3622]

I am so very sorry for the pain you are going through. I almost lost my 31 year old son this summer to liver and kidney failure (self-inflicted by alcohol abuse). It was a miracle that he survived. I love him so much. He is very musically talented, a classical pianist and a composer but troubled deep within. Please don't feel guilty about being alive. You need to be alive to be able to help others who are going through similar situations. I will pray that God will give you the strength you need. He knows the pain you are going through. He gave His only Son to die on a cross for our sins. He loves you very much. God bless you dear.

I am now 91 and of Italian descent, I first heard Morricone,s work in the movie Cinema Paradiso I was moved by the movie and especially the music. I thought nothing would compare with that score and then i saw Malena ,Once upon a time in the west, The mission and several others and each time the scores were unforgetable. I am so thankful to Maestro Morricone,he left this world a better place.

Suffice to say Ennio sums up ITALY in a nutshell. Forget about his music relating to movies.His music in its own right would stand up to any of the great composers in world history! I would have to say he is the greatest composer of our generation. I have been watching a TV documentary here in England about this incredible man...What an education for me! This is probably my most favourite piece of music from Ennio?I know that is a difficult decision to come to as Ennio has composed and produced the most amazing portfolio of music compositions over the years! I hope you Italians understand this analogy but it is like saying ''how long is a piece of rope?''' But let's cut to the chase....Ennio's talent comes along once in a generation! not only a special talent but a special man! RIP ENNIO XXX

Hans Zimmer doesn't do anything for me personally. But above all, Ennio Morricone's film scores for me are so full of passion and emotion. His piece, " On Earth As It Is In Heaven" is like a spiritual awakening every time I hear it. That is my two cents worth. I enjoy reading different opinions and finding out what others hear.

In my opinion, no modern musician has ever captured deep emotions and humanities of life in film better than Maestro Morricone. There are great film composers, but Ennio Morricone was one of a kind. Often the films, as great as they may be, fell short on their impact on us when compared with the impact of the accompanying scores and melodies provided by this superb late composer, who will be ever present with us with the great music he left with us.

Да. Я, будучи 7-9 летним школьником начальных классов, слушал эту музыку на кассетном магнитофоне в конце девяностых, живя в небольшом заброшенном якутском посёлке в старом бараке посреди помоек и разрухи. Я слушал эту музыку на дисках в середине нулевых в Анапе на каникулах у тёти. В середине 2010-х я был студентом одного престижного питерского ВУЗа и часто слушал эту музыку на своём навороченном смартфоне Ксяоми, гуляя по набережным Питера. Сейчас я часто слушаю через беспроводные наушники музыку Морриконе, гуляя по Нью-Йорку. Особенно аутентично эта музыка звучит, когда гуляю по району Дамбо возле Бруклинского и Манхэттенского мостов. Меняются и развиваются технологии, много раз менялись места жительства, да и сам я изменился. Я стал взрослым. Но музыка остаётся и останется. Возможно, лет через 20 не надо будет телефон с собой таскать и на Ютуб залазить, чтобы музыку Морриконе послушать, а достаточно будет "в голову загрузить программу" и "силой мысли включить тему Деборы". Не знаю я, какие будут технологии. Но точно знаю, что я буду периодически слушать эти замечательные мелодии.

[@КабираБаймухамбетова-ф4й]

Музыка к фильму " Однажды в Америке" это шедевр, композитор Эннио Марриконе так писал музыку что спустя столько лет она вызывает такой отклик в душе, такие эмоции это не передать словами, такое ощущение что я тоже испытала то что испытала маленькая Дебора, потеря любимого человека навсегда на всю жизнь...

Only a musical genius can take a few simple bars and transform them into a heart aching emotional masterpiece. Morricone was that consummate genius.

[@sabashukvani]

Masterpiece! Ennio Morricone was a genius!

Mi è successo di nuovo, ogni volta che ascolto questo capolavoro mi emoziono, come se lo ascoltassi per la prima volta... MERAVIGLIOSO ED ETERNO... BELLISSIMO

one of the most misunderstood and under rated films of all time...a score that is second to none...riveting

[@wm4668]

Probably because the original theatrical release was butchered beyond recognition - I have a mostly completely restored cut, Robert de Niros performance is stunning. A shame to see what hes reduced to now

[@freddytime]

Ennio Morricone Made us dream, fall in love, cry and feel connected one another. Today I’m crying for him passing away. Thank you Maestro for donating the world with an anticipation of paradise. I bet if a god really exists, he is listening to your music now.

[@JackReacher_09]

Я впервые увидел урезанную версию этого фильма служа в рядах Советской армии в 1989 году. И с тех пор он так и идет сом ной по жизни. Великий фильм, прекраснейшая музыка Морриконе. Чем трогает это кино за душу меня? Не знаю... Иногда создается ощущение что я был на этих улочках тридцатых годов, настолько все близко. А может просто похожее нищее детство, друзья, первая любовь...

watched it at least 20 times best movie ever made in my opinion and best sound track ever , De niro's acting especially 35 years later as the old noodles is the best I have ever seen, Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone both geniuses and true legends in my humble opinion.

[@skye1212]

DeNiro in this and the Deer Hunter are two of his best imo.

Rest in peace Ennio Morricone, your music was nothing short of beautiful. It embodies a level of craft and creativity that is sadly going extinct as we push on through the modern age.
