Gangs Of New YorkReleased in 2002 is another masterpiece by director Martin Scorsese.It a battle for control on the streets of 1860's New York. Nominated for 10 academy awards and staring Daniel Day Lewis, Cameron Diaz, and Leo DiCaprio.5 🌟 and 👍👍 From Texas T
How very special to re-view this film in the context of the current (2016-17) political posturing and railing on immigration. This film effectively traces our national obsession with immigrants, and the tendency assimilated immigrants have with keeping unwanted -- i.e., new -- immigrants out back to the fifth and sixth decades of the nineteenth century. Here the despised immigrants are Irish Catholics, and Scorsese is able to resist pointing out that these nativists were themselves immigrants a generation or so back. The film ably links violence committed in the cause of nativist politics with religion, and an unforgettable montage shows leaders of both factions praying for divine assistance during the slaughter both are willingly invoking at the coming dawn, while city leaders pray for a prosperous and safe New York. All of this goes on in the foreground of the late years of the American "Civil" War (no war is "civil") and Lincoln's conscription acts, historical moments on a massive stage -- but mere annoyance and background noise to the nativist and immigrant warriors.
Be advised: it's bloody, violent, and at times cruel. Human lives and bodies are thoroughly quantified. That's the point. The directing is savage and at times simply brilliant -- surely among Scorsese's best. Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz are excellent in their portrayals of differing participants in the conflicts. But Daniel Day-Lewis is at his very best -- and that's a high bar -- in his unforgettable portrayal of Bill the Butcher. It's possibly his best work to date. Then again, many of his other work is close. Settle in to be shocked and awed by this one.
Daniel Day Lewis is without a doubt the best actor I ever had the pleasure to watch. There Will Be Blood literally had me forgetting to breathe. This guy is a legend and he played quite a unique and demanding role and pulled it off with perfection. The costumes were phenomenal, the acting was award caliber as is all movies Lewis plays in. Kind of blah story as it's about New York in the early days when gangs ruled the land.
Ok I'm a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, putting that aside This is a good movie with gripping storyline and the History of New York City and the battle of heritage and bloodlines. It a happy, sad and well made move. Yes I have watched it More than once. I recommend you add it to your list of must see movies.
La película llegó a tiempo y en buen estado. La historia es grandiosa, las actuaciones son de primer nivel, Daniel Day-Lewis es genial como el carnicero. Viene con doblaje en español y subtitulos en español.
