Leave it to a KZbinr to turn a video about the Irish in the 1800s into a DEI brochure.

Are you serious? This monumental work has sold millions of copies for a reason. Critics looking for something to criticize in this classic is rather pathetic,

White? Whiteness? What the heck is that? Are you replacing the term American with White? Enough of the racist terms.

It just seems to me that geography has made the europeans extremely adaptive due to high pareto distribution of genetic diversity. Once they got a kick from a civilization, they continually advanced to meet their level and improve upon the newly acquired tech.

If Hollywood makes a 'history' movie, it will be a reflection of the Marxist rats that run that place corrupt view of the world. I could go on for hours about the LIES and brainwashing that place does, they deliberately lie about everything and when it gets pointed out they pivot to 'creative license', 'directors vision' or "It's just a movie". If you going to make a movie about something that REALLY happened it should be ACCURATE and not be some revisionist hogwash to program 'socialist man' into everything.

very well researched, take a bow

This is a movie. I'd rather just gave me a historical summary and stories. It's so stupid how you talk about the movie movie not being accurate. Rather annoying. I'm going to listen to Scorcese talk about the actual movie.

That was Gregory Peck in “the Blue and the Gray”

I wish this film had been shot in B&W. I just can't get past the MEDITERRANEAN SUNLIGHT and the ensuing color palette, in this film ......

This movie does display one very true thing about America, every unwanted immigrant that comes to the US wants to close the door behind them. The Irish treated the Italians the exact same way they (the Irish) were treated upon their arrival to the States.

The fungus wasn’t the problem the British forced them to ship their other crops and food to them despite the potato famine..

I cant wait for "The Myth of the Clean Allies and Antiwhite Rhetoric". the painter was right and you are a delusional liberal

It wasn't a famine...it was a genocide. Britain was good at that back then. See also 10m Indians starved while ship loads of food was shipped out to feed British troops as they helped themselves to what you had. They neglected to teach us that at my British school.

Connor McGregor @9:42 :P

When i saw crazy cat lady (when I went to the theater years back) flying in the air, claws out, I rolled my eyes and thought: Daniel Day Lewis and Liam Neeson can't save this crap.

But the eyeball... Totally happened.

The Butcher. A man after my own heart.

the fact that anyone believes that at a time of war higher ups would rather execute people than simply... throw them back at the enemy??? is baffling to me. even if you believe everything else about "half the men being unarmed" it just makes no sense. literally takes half a second of critical thinking

Looked like a horrible place to live.

Thank you ❤🎉 Make more videos on this topic please.

It's pretty horrifying to think there's people who idolize Bill the Butcher in this movie, thinking he's some "misunderstood good guy".

This is a good video but for a video about historical accuracy it is worth noting that the Irish Potato Famine was 1845-1852 not just 1845 & 1846 and the worst year was 1847 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)

I just wanna watch DDL go full actor in this movie

The whole film when I first saw it seemed outlandish and far fetched . Yet over the years I have learned and you back it up for the most part in this film that it was actually like this back then in the 5 points. The fire departments, the political gang tangling, the gang wars or riots and clashes with military were all pretty much true.

As someone who lived through this era I am very impressed by your knowledge

"Russian human wave attacks are a myth." 2022-present: Russians launching human wave attacks in Ukraine on a daily basis. EDIT: I just thought I would add there are ample documented examples of Soviet mass frontal attacks that were very high in casualties for them (which they knew would be) which can be characterized as human wave attacks. The Battle of the Seelow Heights in 1945 is one that comes to mind. The idea that the Russians didn't do this is simply politically correct revisionism and such claims really look stupid in the face of the tactics being used by the Russians in their ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

There isn’t a better movie performance than DDL as Bill the Butcher

But like you wrote..it's fudged times..slamming events together to make a better story.. Yet giving us an unreal depiction...they rarely fought and few were killed in real life...it does make America look bad,racist to those in other countries

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Another pointless youTube vid meant to discredit a film made purely for entertainment. All movies based on historical or sometimes called real events are simply based on these events, nothing more. They are not Documentaries. They need to be embellished or scripted in a way to maximize their entertainment value, fit the production's budget and so on. ALL state at the beginning or end that they are BASED on true events and in some cases state the fact that certain characters and events have been fictionalized for dramatic effect.

Nonsense. It was Culture - period. China had all the farmland and resources they needed to field the worlds' largest armies. So did India. The Ottomans made good use of gunpowder, and for 200 years, dominated eastern Europe and the Mediterainean Basin. But they failed to inovate and fell behind because of Culture. What ALL these great powers lacked was the Renaissance. With that Awakening, individual rights and businesses sprang up in numbers and variety that was never seen anywhere before. That produced better armor, better cannons, better siege engines, better ships, and better ideas in thousands of ways. That's why The West has been the primary pinnacle power center for 500 years. The Ottomans hired European cannon makers and artillery crews. The largest cannon ever cast was designed by a Hungarian (correction welcome). All those aertillery pieces were privately owned and operated in Western armies. That produced results or no pay - or worse. Same with musket companies, who were hired and trained privately. This was not the case with the Jannisaries, who were slave soldiers. Priviledged, yes, but slaves nonetheless. After 1700, the power shift to Europe was complete and the Ottomans were on the way down. Superior gunnery and discipline was why the European powers gained such large colonies with pitifully few troops.

This movie, like a lot of other Hollywood revisionist crap, is just one giant political message of hate-mongering against the WW2-era Russian government. Instead of portraying historical events to show the bleak reality of serving in the Soviet Army, we get, "The man with the rifle shoots!" and a fictional portrayal of the crossing at the Volga where foamy-mouthed Commissars are just itching to shoot fleeing troops despite the actual event being noted as well, uneventful.

I usually can't watch war movies until the end, But I can watch this one several times 😊

Asking if a MOVIE is accurate is beyond stupid, it's a movie not a DOCUMENTARY

Fascinating. Let's not ignore the resurgence of anti-Semitic rhetoric among the left.

This film is one of the greatest I have ever watched, on all levels. This is the worst video review of it I have ever watched.

6:55 the portrayal is inaccurate but yes, communism IS evil.

Good

Good vid but lose the music.

So many young boys on the Confederate and Union sides had the false pretenses in their minds of the Civil War being adventurous, a chance to prove manhood before their time.. it's a sad way to face bravery, and for what?

Europe was also better, since ww2 we dont wan wars but before that we were the masters of warfare. Our Weapons and fortreses were feared by the enemies the only thing that really held us back were that we never united as Europeans. Still to this day we could dominate every battlefield but i guess we are too tired of war wich to be honest is a good thing.

Corrupt Democrats/NYC Democrats using immigrants to get votes…sounds familiar 🤔

This sequel to Last of the Mohicans is _weird_ man...

"rUSSiaN bLoCKinG tRoOPs sHooTinG tHeRe oWn tRooPs aRe a mYtH!!111!!1!" yeah this didn't age well 6:25 Didn't age well LOL. Go take a look at the battles of Adivka, Bakhmut and Vuhledar

It is a feature film. There are allusions to real events and real people, but it is not a documentary. Of course it is not historically accurate, but is still a great movie. The Godfather movies are also full of allusions to real events and real people, but are far from historically accurate. And who cares? So are lots of other, similarly structured movies.

Calorie has never used matchlock

Of course, it ain't accurate. It's a movie meant to entertain.

Did you know the police weren't allowed to carry guns up until the draft riots?

Bill the Butcher is the greatest character in cinematic history

Great to hear how it could be more. I loved the book and the play by play. I thought the biases were pretty obvious. Is there an academic book that’s also based on first hand experiences though? A journalist who was there offers something no academic could.
