Film Description: The violent rise of gangland power in New York City at a time of massive political corruption and the city's evolution into a cultural melting pot set the stage for this lavish historical epic, which director Martin Scorsese finally brought to the screen almost 30 years after he first began to plan the project. In 1846, as waves of Irish immigrants poured into the New York neighborhood of Five Points, a number of citizens of British and Dutch heritage who were born in the United States began making an open display of their resentment toward the new arrivals. William Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis), better known as "Bill the Butcher" for his deadly skill with a knife, bands his fellow "Native Americans" into a gang to take on the Irish immigrants; the immigrants in turn form a gang of their own, "The Dead Rabbits," organized by Priest Vallon (Liam Neeson). After an especially bloody clash between the Natives and the Rabbits leaves Vallon dead, his son goes missing; the boy ends up in a brutal reform school before returning to the Five Points in 1862 as Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio). Now a strapping adult who has learned how to fight, Amsterdam has come to seek vengeance against Bill the Butcher, whose underworld control of the Five Points through violence and intimidation dovetails with the open corruption of New York politician "Boss" Tweed (Jim Broadbent). Amsterdam gradually penetrates Bill the Butcher's inner circle, and he soon becomes his trusted assistant. Amsterdam also finds himself falling for Jenny Everdeane (Cameron Diaz), a beautiful but street-smart thief who was once involved with Bill. Amsterdam is learning a great deal from Bill, but before he can turn the tables on the man who killed his father, Amsterdam's true identity is exposed, even though he has concealed it from nearly everyone, including Jenny. Gangs Of New York was the first film in two years from actor Leonardo DiCaprio; ironically, it was at one time scheduled to open on the same day as Catch Me if You Can, the Steven Spielberg project that DiCaprio began filming immediately after Gangs wrapped.

  • @marianogil88 The song is pigeon at the gate. :D

  • The song at 1:55 is called pigeon at the gate.

  • 0:13 I wish i could spit as cool as that.

  • Just incase there was any doubt this was a Martin Scorsecse movie, here's 1 minute 10 second long shot without a single cut! God damn he's a great director!

  • @Ehar If they went to America they run the risk of stopping a bullet.

  • @infinitecanadian Where would you suggest they go? Immigrants in this era were not well looked upon, particularly Irish Catholic immigrants. In Great Britain they would be treated worse. In Canada they were treated the same and many did go there. You're blaming the victim for being victimized, which is always a despicable thing to do. You're also showing your ignorance as regards the context of Irish immigration and as usual when ignorant on a subject it's best to say nothing.

  • @iamdavid132 I am Irish and feel nothing but a need to roll my eyes at the madness of people moving to a land where they would not be accepted.

  • @infinitecanadian but america was the land of opportunity to them. My great grandfather immigrated here as a child and kept a journal of it. You truely have to be irish to feel the power of this song.

  • "When we got the Yankee man

    He shoved a gun into our hands

    Sayin 'Patty, you must go and fight for lincoln' "

    Very powerful lyrics indicating how hard life was for the Irish coming to "the promised land"

  • @AssualtgruppeVeir Ok, I'm sorry. I thaught myself interesting and superior for a while :D Good luck.
