Directed by Martin Scorsese
In early 1860s New York, Irish immigrant Amsterdam Vallon is released from prison and returns to the Five Points, seeking revenge against his father's killer, William Cutting, a powerful anti-immigrant gang leader. He knows that revenge can only be attained by infiltrating Cutting's inner circle. Vallon's journey becomes a fight for personal survival and to find a place for the Irish people. From TMDB

60 of 224 · most liked firstsometimes i think about how if you could somehow cut all of the leo and cameron diaz stuff from GANGS OF NEW YORK you would have the single greatest movie ever made about 19th century American urban politics, a film that would appeal to me, specifically
positive · AI labelView post →I’m no fancy pants film critic, but I think Gangs of New York would qualify as political, and Age of Innocence, and Taxi Driver, and Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, and …
neutral · AI labelView post →Marky Mark in a movie directed by Mel Gibson. They are saying slurs on that set not even heard in Gangs of New York
neutral · AI labelView post →JD Vance is railing about Gangs of New York, and Irish and Italian immigration. Listen instead to the historical consultant on the film and me talk about the movie and the history behind it. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...
neutral · AI labelView post →Last night I went to watch Gangs Of New York on amazon and it played The Godfather instead, which is also a movie about gangs of New York.
neutral · AI labelView post →Scorsese is getting up there in age, so I can't imagine that he'd wanna devote time to this, but there's a great movie in Gangs of New York and I wish somebody could have access to all of the original materials and put it together the way he would like it to be.
positive · AI labelView post →once again watching marty's GANGS OF NEW YORK, a movie whose analysis of "america for americans" reactionary politics has only grown more cogent every year since 2002

neutral · AI labelView post →A few days ago I re-watched Gangs of New York, and it brought home to me something relevant to our present political situation: America’s divisions on immigration, race, class, religion, and ‘foreign influences’ have always been with us. belib.org/ePxiCQ7
neutral · AI labelView post →For accuracy's sake, Vance's exact quote was "has anybody ever seen the movie Gangs of New York?" I was only half-watching the livestream while working on something else when that jumped out at me.
neutral · AI labelView post →if the movie Gangs of New York taught us anything it's that dudes that have been in America slightly longer than someone else have always been colossal douchebags about it
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching Gangs of New York today and literally all the crime in this movie happens under the auspices of Bill the Butcher and his association with Tammany Hall. Striking that JD Vance attributed it all to the immigrants but it certainly speaks to where his instincts lie
neutral · AI labelView post →"We can't have immigration because of the 2002 Scorsese film Gangs of New York, in which nativist gangsters terrorized immigrant communities." Truly a dizzying intellect.
neutral · AI labelView post →Gangs of New York style film 150 years from now where there's a meeting gathered with their Know Nothing esque banner, except it's dripped out AI Goofy with a huge gun
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes- and his evidence was the movie “Gangs of New York,” loosely based on historical events of the mid-19th century

neutral · AI labelView post →Gangs of New York is not really a movie about "immigrant crime" lol
neutral · AI labelView post →essentially said that the 2002 DiCaprio film Gangs of New York effectively illustrated why it's bad when brown people live next door to white people
neutral · AI labelView post →3/ If you ever read the book or saw the movie "Gangs of New York", no it wasn't about Leo's character avenging his father's murder. It was purely and simply, this history including the history of literal "Know Nothings". Ironic use of "Native Americans", yes? www.history.com/articles/kno...
neutral · AI labelView post →‘Gangs of New York’ is not a good movie, but is also pretty clearly about anti-immigrant nativists making life hell for new immigrants. Between this and ‘The Boys’ I’m starting to think they don’t understand the arts.
negative · AI labelView post →I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry– Scorsese's "first political movie." Scorsese. Martin Scorscese. Marty, if you will. Martin Scorsese who famously made the non-political Gangs of New York and Wolf of Wall Street. That Martin Scorsese?
neutral · AI labelView post →My MAGA cousin sent me a YT short of a clip from the movie Gangs of New York. In the clip a character was ranting about how useless immigrants were, along with some dehumanizing comments, and the USA should get rid of them, with my cousin saying he agreed wholeheartedly. I pointed out that the character was the villain of the story, and the scene was being used to showcase how much of a bad guy he was. Sadly, this did not spark an "Are we the baddies?" moment for him.
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched a pirated copy of Gangs of New York once that had both English audio and English subtitles, but the subtitles were poorly/hilariously translated. About 20 minutes into the film the subtitles changed to a confession/apology that the guy was terrible at his job, and asked for forgiveness.
neutral · AI labelView post →Here's some storyboard practice I did in high school of Gangs of New York (one of my favorite movies, a Scorsese film). Be gentle, a teen drew this and idek if it's "correct" but that's how much movies mean to me and how devastated I am to see Marty even considering this. FOR STORYBOARDS. Hate this.
positive · AI labelView post →#NowWatching GANGS OF NEW YORK (2002). Director: Martin Scorsese. Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio. The only time I walked out of theater after Scorsese pic & said, "Well, that was a mess." Great production & DDL, but convoluted muddle. Let's see if I still think that. #filmsky 📽
neutral · AI labelView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 review of GANGS OF NEW YORK boxd.it/d80OUf Scorcese's massive epic impresses in visual grandiosity. Wow! DiCaprio's ascent to influence lacks veracity, plot gets bogged down in exposition, & screenplay tries to cover too many topics. But Day-Lewis chews the expensive scenery! #filmsky 📽

neutral · AI labelView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Gangs of New York (1928) by Herbert Asbury. Adapted in 2002 by Martin Scorsese. It chronicles the historical account of the 19th-century New York City underworld, focusing on the notorious Five Points district. The movie is a drama based on historical events #booksky #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Gangs of New York and, excellent movie aside, there's two moments with a more contemporary 2000s piece of soundtrack that's so jarring they made me laugh out loud. Brendan Gleason's massive head features throughout 10/10
positive · AI labelView post →I saw that movie, "Gangs of New York"
neutral · AI labelView post →Gangs of New York was mostly a weird misfire of a movie but the final shot, where the city fades into the modern skyline and you instantly understand that everything the protagonists fought over has been quietly erased by the passage of time is for my money Scorsese’s finest moment.
neutral · AI labelView post →Favorite movie that takes place in NYC. "Gangs of New York" If you've never watched it, you should rectify that. Besides being an outstanding film, the nationalist anti-immigrant subject matter is very timely.
positive · AI labelView post →Do you ever wildly misjudge how long ago a movie, book, or album came out? Anyway, Gangs of New York came out in 2002. Be right back, I've got to go crumble into dust and blow away.

neutral · AI labelView post →Heaven's Gate. A 3.5 hour movie in which every single scene is a complex action shot moving through a crowd like the opening of Gangs of New York. I know there have been "re-evaluations" of this movie because of the cinematography, but dear God, it is tedious.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Gangs of New York for the first time in years last night and I have to say: it kinda sucks. Like legit a 2.5/5 star movie with an incredible amount of work done by DDL to bring it up a bit more.
negative · AI labelView post →Rewatching Gangs of New York and I'd literally forgotten all about Hellcat Maggie (both film version and historical figure) so I'm off down a rabbit hole (pun intended)

neutral · AI labelView post →Changed my mind: If I could recommend only one film that you should watch this very minute if you haven't seen it before, it would be "Gangs Of New York". I also think it should be mandatory viewing in high school US History classes with an essay due on the dangers of Nationalism.
positive · AI labelView post →Gangs of New York has some faults but God damn was this an amazing performance
positive · AI labelView post →Just checked out Captain from Castile (1947). Like the last film I watched (Gangs of New York), the script needs some work but the film looks amazing. It’s a film about Cortés’s conquest of the Aztec Empire, and they filmed it in Technicolor on the actual sites in Mexico.
neutral · AI labelView post →but yeah Gangs of New York is actually a SUPER Star Wars movie in that it's all about this intricate world of highly detailed and stratified criminal subculture set against a city fat with money and a massive civil war all of which is hinged on a story of honor and revenge and fathers and sons
neutral · AI labelView post →> 1888: Bandit's Roost. This alley, known as Bandit’s Roost, at 591⁄2 Mulberry Street, had a reputation for being one of the most dangerous and crime-ridden places in New York. I seem to remember something about some of the people in the photo belonging to the Dead Rabbits gang, of which the movie Gangs Of New York featured. Unverified though.

neutral · AI labelView post →March 11, 1855: Bowery Boys gang leader William Poole aka "Bill the Butcher" is buried in Brooklyn with 155 carriages and 6,000 mourners. He was the inspiration for William "Bill the Butcher" Cutting (Daniel Day-Lewis) in Martin Scorsese's 2002 film "Gangs of New York.”

I've been informed that Gangs of New York does NOT contain any anti-anteater rhetoric. (Also, "any anti-anteater" is a mouthful. Yeesh.) #MST3K #MST3KTurkeyDay
