Bill the Butcher Cutting is a fictional character based on 20th century concepts. Bill the Butcher Poole was a real man who lived and died in 1855 (not 1863). He was not perfect but he was honest in his beliefs. And since he loved freedom and the US of A, he hated slavery and Democrats who wanted to force slavery out west and into the free northern states. William Cutting in the movie is a "Richard's nickname". William Poole...an American
More or less the same, thanks for your respect for a great film and character, but respect them with music that is both fitting and doesn't blow chunks. Now if you wanna play homage to a film like this one nothing but classics will due.
They ought to ban users who inappropriately match up stupid songs with scenes from films like this. I'd bet that if D.D. Lewis ever bothered to watch this pile of crap, he'd just laugh in a pitying fashion at you.
Hey Cinematicgirl, please tell me, who does this song. The vocals sound alot like Brian Marnell from the band "SVT", and I sense some "U2".....? Interesting. LOL, please don't make me feel behind and tell me it's from a popular album/CD....!!!!
Cinemacgirl, Thank you so much. Now I'm addicted to the song and I'm playing this video with the movie at the moment. Daniel and the song so rock!!!..
@mickeyjordan. It happens all the time. In San Fran, the earliest Chinese arrivals treated newer Chinese arrivals like shit. You can see it in many immigrant enclaves throughout the world, throughout history.
@music: When you are an adult, and if you are faced with the responsibility of caring for a family, parents, and in-laws, and nothing around pays enough, you might understand why those Chinamen took the risk of traveling across the Pacific. You and I can learn about this pretty easily, but, at the time (we're talking 1800's), they probably didn't hear about the discrimination issues from the Internet or have any Barnes & Nobles nearby to read up on the situation.
@23mickeyjordan Revolutionary war vets were the first Americans, as in members of the political and national body called America. As far as the land "America", well that's just a European name applied to the land. The pre-Columbian and pre-Viking tribes probably had other names for the patch of dirt.
Yes I know, William Poole, but Poole only inspired the Scorsese character, as the real Poole never actually killed anyone. I'd want the fictional Bill the Butcher, not the authentic William Poole :)
@UShistoryX2 There is a Bill the Butcher, thats who this character is based on, he led the "know-nothing" political movement, he was also a Bare Knuckle boxer (which in his time meant he fought for, at the very least, 20 rounds per fight) he was one tough son of a bitch according to reports. He was gunned down by a group of irish rivals though. His last words were the same in the movie "Thank god, i die a true american."
Look up "William Poole" if you want to know more about this great man
My father gave his life, making this country what it is. Murdered by the British with all of his men on the twenty fifth of July, anno domini, 1814. Do you think I'm going to help you befoul his legacy, by giving this country over to them, what's had no hand in the fighting for it? Why, because they come off a boat crawling with lice and begging you for soup-William Cutting AKA Bill The Butcher

It's all just semantics.
You don't really believe Native Americans (Indians) are truly native to that land right? They traveled here just like everyone else.
But compared to fresh off the boat immigrants, I guess they were pretty native.

@23mickeyjordan "natives" because they were born there moron. The others were Irish immigrants that came over on a ship.
