The line “it’s early fall, there’s a cloud on the New York skyline, Innocence, dragged across a yellow line” refers to the atrocity of 9-11. An amazing piece of film score, up there with the best.
This is one of the best endings in movie history. I remember seeing this in the movie theater in 2002 & people actually stay until the end of the forst half of the credits & even applauded 😆 this movie was cinema at it's best. Before people started ending films like the end of a TV show episode.
Yes..it is also back when actors and actresses had to ACTUALLY act..instead of political agends plaguing movies and Ai GRAPHICS doing all the work. Fucking pathetic..the movie industry is these days.
@@summerfire4775 yes but notice that this gay, lesbian trans gender, LGBTQ@#$()/- and pussification of society and attack on white males and males in general really wasn't a thing or much of anything really until at least thr 90s
This film is probably one of the few films in history that actually felt like you were watching a documentary rather than a dramatic recreation... It just felt so real and down to earth. And then that ending... Wow. Just wow. I was speechless, touched, and in a sense, almost heartbroken. Absolutely fantastic work, no other film has brought about such a plethora of emotions from me.
Gangs of New York is probably one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen. It and the Directors Cut of Kingdom of Heaven are my two very favorite movies.
they couldn't have chosen a better song. period. this has the most emotional intensity and mood for such a dramatic ending to one of the greatest movies ever.
It took everything in me not to cry after seeing this. It's a memory still fresh in my mind. Where I was, and how I watched live as the 2nd plane hit. Seeing my home on fire. I'll never get over it. I ❤ NY
@@grahamohare6055 Much appreciated. You know one of the most haunting and yet comforting sounds that we hear around this time is the playing of Irish bagpipes.
@@Lord_Bibulous as you probably know a huge connection between Ireland and new York. I always feel sad today. Hoping to get back soon. My favourite place to visit.
@@grahamohare6055as a fellow irishman, I definitely agree. New York is probably one of the few cities in the world that you truly feel like is an extension of ireland, you feel right at home.
this is so majorly depressing. the tragic sound of the song adds to it. to think so many ppl did so many things but only a handfull are even known by name. the same will happen to us. and that's sad.
This is absolutely one of the best and most beautifully composed endings to a movie I have ever seen. I saw Gangs of New York in the theater when it first came out, and even now this part still affects me. The music fits perfectly, and even the timing is perfect. The music changes and the guitar comes in right when the World Trade Center towers appear, kind of signaling how its coming into modern day.
Daniel Day Lewis actually scared the crap out of me in this film if that makes sense while also understanding his character and methods.I'm personally glad Day Lewis got the role over DeNiro not to knock Bobby but Day Lewis was superb.
Day Lewis outclases all of the other actors. He completly disappiered in this (and all of his) role. I would love to see him and Christian Bale in one movie
The music is absolutely perfect with how the skyline changes, and how the tombstones eventually fade away and disappear. It's actually very sad, given the context of Leonardo Dicaprio's closing dialogue.
@dapard The song is "The Hands That Built America", but this is a specific version that differs from the one used in the music video with U2 and, I think, the one released on the soundtrack (but not sure about that). And yes, it IS by U2.
Everything falls away. And for the vast majority of us, our lives, our names, and our deeds will be lost to the pages of history. This is why the Egyptian Pharaohs built the great pyramids and so many other structures, and the emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal. But even though these great structures have endured, the lives of the people have been long forgotten. With the invention of writing and printing (and later, more sophisticated methods of recording and storage) human accomplishments began to be recorded in permanent ways. So individual names and noteworthy deeds can endure. We know about the great people in history and their achievements. As long as these records are preserved, these people will (in a fashion) live forever. But for the vast majority of us, unless we DO something worth remembering, our lives are forgotten within a couple of generation. How many people can name a single thing their great, great grandfather or great, great grandmother did (assuming you even know who they were.) Extremely wealthy families, royal families, etc go to great efforts to preserve their lineage and pass on this knowledge to their posterity, but they are the exception to the rule.
"Immortality is to live your life doing good things, and leaving your mark behind. The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering."-Brandon Lee
@VenomousBaron Scorsese chose to end the shot there because he "wanted to make a film about the ones who built New York, not the ones who tried to destroy it."
The way they enforce the title upon the viewer, then start moving it around the screen while putting credits all over it as the soundtrack plays - all of that is the work of a genius.
How many people stay through the end of this beautiful song and just after? You can hear seagulls and the water lapping against the shore. Gives me a chill every time. However, it gets cut off every video.
I want to download this version of the song. The song on the album is much softer, and the only place I can find the version with the symphony is on the credits of the actual movie. I WANT TO DOWNLOAD IT. IT IS AMAZING!!!
Un final impresionante: Leo narrando lo que considera el destino tanto de él como de los que deja en esas tumbas y al fondo Nueva York en llamas. Luego la evolución de esa icónica ciudad y la gradual desaparición de esas tumbas, aderezado con esta canción de U2 que tiene ese sabor irlandés que destaca en toda la película. Se me pone chinita la piel cada vez que veo esa escena.
Exactamente, Leo narrando con pasión y con estilo algo bastante claro como el que no importa quién hubieras sido en esta vida ya que serías olvidado con el paso del tiempo y tus acciones se perderían en las arenas de la historia, después es precioso ver como evoluciona Manhattan, los Five Points y Nueva York a través de las épocas (Guerra Civil Americana, Reconstrucción, ascenso de EEUU a finales del XIX y principios del XX, Gran Depresión, las Guerras Mundiales, Guerra Fría, finales del siglo XX y principios del XXI) y x supuesto ese toque irlandés de U2 en un claro homenaje no solo a los inmigrantes irlandeses venidos desde los siglos XVIII y XIX como los de la pelicula sino quizás a todos los inmigrantes de diferentes partes del mundo ya que The Hands That Built America es una clara referencia a que los cimientos de los EEUU fueron fundados por inmigrantes ya fueran irlandeses, británicos, españoles, portugueses, mexicanos, franceses, alemanes, italianos, rusos, polacos, suecos, turcos, chinos o árabes y que cada una de estas nacionalidades ayudaron (junto con pueblos como los nativo americanos) en mayor o menor medida a que EEUU consiguiera el puesto hegemónico que disfruta hoy en día
For Irish people the belief that millions made a great journey, a great life and contributed to building a great nation kinda consoled us those that were left behind with the ghosts of those who never made it.
@pixinarts: Thats an interesting interpretation of the final message of the film. I never thought of it that way, but it kind of makes sense, especially given U2's lyrics.
I was just "comment curious" and saw the years of the comments.. I came to reminisce, it's ALWAYS bitter sweet like a dream, then you come to and live life trying to recreate or match those times (at times) when you we're able to focus on life at the/that/those moments
@YourMamaBinLadin I felt the exact same way dude. There were some great parts in the movie, but then at some moments I just shook my head like, "wtf?" especially when they used slow motion...you know what I'm talking about. The ending scene and music were awesome, though.
There's a certain irony in having U2 perform a song called "The Hands that Built America". They are the pinnacle of success, ambassadors of Ireland to the world, yet their ancestors are the ones that fled the island to an uncertain future in an America that simultaneously welcomed and despised them (and the subject of this film).
Yeh I have to agree with you, the film didn't actually do anything for me....but this ending really blew me away!! I loved The Aviator tho and Scorsese really is a great director :)
One of the things I'll remember this movie for was one of the greatest gags of all time. I didn't even get it until I was walking out of the theater: Abraham Lincoln's being on stage in a play while *somebody else* gets shot in the audience. They were taking turns, you see.
@obsidianguy23 It was also (loosely) based on an informal historical novel that was based mostly on legend, the author's memory and interpretation of real events, and misunderstandings on his part. Trying to fit this in history is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.
You know, I'm sitting here enjoying this and watching the movie,(for the647th time), thinking that, I want to thank Martin Scorcesse for educating me in more depth about my hometown.
@ktroy1000 Several of the characters were more or less 'real' (like "the Butcher" Bill Cutting, who was based on a man named William Poole, who WAS a member of the Bowery Boys and a 'nativist'), but were conflated with several other people or had aspects of their character outright fabricated by the writer for the sake of story. "Boss" Tweed was also a real person and Tammany Hall was a real Democratic political machine that only fully disappeared in the 60s.
the ending always gives me goose bumps...no matter how many times i watch it. And now its even more emotional because the twin towers are no longer in NYC anymore
@ktroy1000 It's based on true events, but it takes many liberties with them for the sake of a better story. The Draft Riots, for example, were definitely real, and they were put down violently by the U.S. military. Blacks were specifically targeted by many of the rioters, as portrayed in the film. As for the main plot, think of it as a fictional story inspired by true events.
'It would be like everything we knew was mightily swept away, and no matter what they did to build this city up again, for the rest of time, it would be like no one even knew we were here' .... If they had the balls and had the towers fade out, that line would feel like a hammer.... And be the truth.
pixiniarts They had the balls to leave the towers in after suggestions they not be included. Guess what? 9/11 is 0.000000000001% of NYC's history. This movie wasn't gonna end on some 9/11 note, it was focusing on a different part.
I become emotional each time seeing this original final scene of GONY. As time passes, the skyline changes. To illustrate victory over our enemies, could someone transform The Twin Towers into the One World Center Tower complex and current Lower Manhattan skyline?
The timing is off, i only noticed because scorsese likes to put his credits in time with the music, and the visuals on this are 4 secs behind the sound. Aside from that, I love this movie and especially the ending. Scorsese is probably the greatest.
dear god, no matter how many times i watch this movie, i will never grow tired of it, and never stop getting chill bumps at this ending.
