In the closing montage and the last shot, you can see The Twin Towers. The producers tried to get Martin Scorsese to cut that part out, because this movie came out a year after 9/11. When asked about it, Scorsese said, "This movie it's about the people who built New York, not those who tried to destroy it." That last shot, seeing the towers, and that ending set to U2's song The Hands That Built America is so powerful.

The scene with the fire companies was accurate. Before there were organized fire departments in the US, private companies handled any fires. Often two companies would arrive on the scene at around the same time and would literally fight to see who would get to put out the fire. Usually the structure would just burn down while this was happening.
@MannerdDesert72 ай бұрын
Actually it's not as accurate as you'd think, first of all they weren't private companies, they were volunteer groups & the little funding they did get was from insurance companies not individuals, secondly the notion of firefighters fighting while houses burned down is extremely rare (if it happened at all), competing firefighters would fight & race but they would still work together to stop fires. They were more likely to fight after over who did a better job.

My Left Foot was something special. I'd have never seen it if it hadn't been assigned for a film class, and my life would have been lesser. It's the ultimate expression of committing to a role, and those around you allowing it: "Committing himself to the role, the actor insisted that everyone on set refer to him as Christy Brown, refusing to reply to Daniel. More radical, however, was the actor’s physical dedication to the role with Day-Lewis learning to type and paint with his feet just like Christy Brown, as well as demanding to be pushed around set on a wheelchair. Practically frustrating, Daniel Day-Lewis’ refusal to leave his wheelchair meant that the film’s production assistants were forced to lift the actor over the masses of equipment littered on set to get him ready for his next scene. Furthermore, the actor took this a step further during the production’s lunch break where it was reported that My Left Foot’s set assistants were made to spoon-feed the actor in accordance with the lifestyle of his character."

The corrupt politician was Boss Tweed, who pretty much ran New York through Tammany Hall. The boxing match promoter was P.T. Barnum, famous as the co-founder of Barnum and Bailey's Circus. The main characters are fictional, but the depiction of social and political conditions is pretty accurate.

While highly fictionalized and altered to spin a good story, much of the story has its base in true history. The Dead Rabbits, the Draft Riots, Boss Tweed, Bill the Butcher all were based on actually people and events. Their characters here are very dramatized and often characters in the movie perform actions that were actually performed by others in reality. Some characters, such as Bill, are a blend of several historical people. Others are pretty accurate to the history records ... scarily Hell-Cat Maggie is one of them and yes she did have filed teeth and wore brass claws.

The good news is that in today's society, however, most people do have a moral compass to understand that killing for the sake of killing is wrong.

Daniel Day-Lewis is IMHO the best actor of this generation. He has won 3 Oscars for Best Actor for "My left foot", "There will be blood" and "Lincoln"! He outshines anyone is this movie and he was nominated for an Oscar as Best Actor for this movie as well. This guy nails it every single time!

Gangs of New York centers around real-life gangs of mid-19th century New York, including The Plug Uglies, The Forty Thieves, The O'Connell Guards, The Shirt Tails, The Chichesters, The Daybreak Boys, The Swamp Angels, and several others, but the central plot itself is grounded in fiction. Bill the Butcher was a real man as well

"Fly Away Home" (1996), would be a good return to watching a people friendly "pet" film, starring Jeff Daniels and Ann Paquin. As a mother you need to scout this one out; and your sister will love it. High public and reviewer ratings, 88%, 4.7 out of 5, even a couple of 5 stars.

I saw in a commentary on this film that Dickens, who was so familiar with London slums and wrote so much about them, was shown the Five Points neighborhood during a visit to America to give readings from his books, and said it was the worst slum he had ever seen.

Part of this takes place at what they called 5 points. That's about 10 blocks from the building my parents both worked in when they met in 1963 until they retired in 2002. Like many characters in this film, my mother was born in Ireland, but to American citizens who had moved back to Irekand after her oldest sisters were born in NYC.

Not one of Scorsese’s best. TBH. But it’s going to be wild to watch your reaction to Daniel Day Lewis. The best there is. Another film DDL didn’t star in, but played a significant role is ‘A Room With a View’. THAT film is not only a masterpiece, but I think it’s right up your alley.

I really recommend looking into the history of this era of New York City, allot of things in the movie were exaggerated, but there were gangs and firestations were private owned and would fight outside a house on who would put out the fire! Shanty towns were located where Central Park is now, they cleared all the shanty towns to clean up the city as the poorest of the poor lived there and it brought forward diseases and crime..

I was surprised to see you react to this. I’m a little bit of history nerd and back then it was not pretty. Especially in New York five points from what I read. So this was a quite intense film. But the last shot with the graves disappearing and the city rising up has to be my favorite.

I know this has been mentioned plenty, but Daniel Day Lewis is one of the best actors of his generation...if not "the" best. His performance in There Will be Blood was one of the greatest pieces of acting ever. Also, I think this movie was in or around the time Leonardo DiCaprio began to evolve into a seriously good actor worthy of being mentioned amongst the greats.

You absolutely have to watch "there will be blood", easily the best movie with Daniel Day-Lewis and one of the best movies ever.

That movie made me love Daniel Day-Lewis, I respect him as no other actor after that movie.

Scorsese's best stuff is not the De Caprio movies. Nor are they all brutally violent. "The King Of Comedy" is one you should definitely hit, it's a great movie. "After Hours" is a wild comedy as well. (Carly would have no problem with either!) "Cape Fear" (which does have violence) is a 90's suspense classic. "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore" shows that Scorsese can direct a woman's story. At the end of the day, it's the De Niro/Scorsese collaborations that are the essential ones, not the ones with Leo.

My father was Irish from Brooklyn in the 1930s and 40s. He talked about the gangs, the Dead Rabbits, the West Enders. That was pre-civil war. Historical but not very well known history. When Irish people were treated very badly. I could say more, but I won't. The end of the movie depicts the New York Draft Riots, in which men who had been treated like dirt and lived in desperate poverty except for the rule of gangs (The Irish and Minorities) were drafted to fight for the union.
