Tom
Johnson Favourite moment in Sound
Once Upon A
Time In America
Leone’s use of the phone ringing is courageous.
It lasts so long he risks losing his audience
. Instead it draws the audience into the film,
which is an inspired use of what is seemingly
a very simple sound effect. This effect not only
creates unnerving tension but also underlines
the pivotal point in the main characters life
(Robert De Niro)
