More than just a gangster movie

I don't like bloody gangster movies, otherwise I would give this movie a perfect score of five. After reading it, I finally understood why Martin Scorsese would continue to make "The Irishman", but it is a pity that both films missed the Oscars. It was too unreasonable... just read some books about that period, old Martin In this film, the entanglement of that period is described. I can't find a more suitable word to describe it. To Martin Old Martin, it may be like a nostalgia, and I am also exploring New York in the hearts of every ethnic group. The turbulent Irish people want to find a chance to survive, the native New Yorkers want to maintain their homes and values, the blacks want equality, the rich want votes, the street politics of the poor, how does each type of people view New York, and how Regarding the entanglement of other ethnic groups and the violent collision, coupled with the general background of the Civil War, the Civil War killed 600,000 people in the United States. Before the war, the United States formed border guards with only more than 10,000 people. How many of the dead soldiers were Irish who wanted to join the army to settle in the United States, how many were black people who wanted to be treated equally, and how many poor people at the bottom. It is not just a gangster movie.

Speaking of movies, I really like Mnison. I really hope that he has more roles. He was still so young at the time, and he was still too persistent in action scenes until now, so I feel sorry for his old age.

It was only halfway through that I could see Daniel Day Lewis. I used to think that Tom Hanks is the god of the show business. Today I feel that he is more like the two bars of the show business, red and professional, and Daniel Day Lewis is the real god, who seems to be able to completely separate himself from himself in everything. The image of itself. If I remember correctly, I won two Oscars, so I should.

    1. Looking forward to an epic, but watched a popular movie of revenge and love. 2. Is this filming The Hobbit? The Dead Rabbits all live in New York's underground tunnels? 3. Emancipating black slaves is one thing, $300 exemption from military service is another, the world is full of information. 4. Although both Lewis and Xiao Lizi took the initiative to reduce their salaries, Lao Ma still lost a lot of money. Making a movie is really a risky investment.

    Encountering a film requires proper timing: An exploration of Five Points, a nineteenth-century slum in New York City, led me to this film. If you watched it a few years ago, you were just consuming an American gangster type film, but watching it now corresponds to real historical events and geographical changes. The director's ambition and efforts are not only immediately understood, but also the judgment of the film. You can also find the basis for immediate action. This is a five-star epic dedicated to the anonymous people in the underground world. Although they have also been heroic and violent, the vendetta of the gang is a piece of cake compared to the political blood reward. The cemetery by the river, the smoky grass, the skyline of the city change from generation to generation, and the people who slumber are resurrected in the movie. It sparked the sadness of separation, not because of the rise and fall of a city or its legend, but because of those who fought and fell in Paradise Square, Orange St, Cross St, Anthony St, the squares and streets that have been renamed today.

Gangs of New York quotes

  • Walter 'Monk' McGinn: [Pins Amsterdam to the wall] That's it, that's it! Tear my head off and destruct the world! Just like the rest of the stupid Irish in this country! That's why I never ran with your dad!

    Amsterdam Vallon: Get off me you crazy bastard!

    Walter 'Monk' McGinn: [Leans in and whispers a line of Gaelic. Then, in English] It means, 'If you're not strong you'd better be smart.' Now I don't know if you're being too clever or too dumb, but whichever it is just remember this much. For all his faults, your father was a man who loved his people.

    [Releases Amsterdam and walks away]

  • Happy Jack: Thank ye boys. You keep out of trouble now!
