    It almost seems at the end when Bill sees both sides of the gangs helping each other's wounded, it completely defeats him. As if he understands finally that there are no real differences, just people trying to survive, and when a greater threat emerges those rivalries are insignificant and quickly put aside so everyone can pull together. It goes against everything he fought for especially when its the Americans own government that was the greater threat. In the end, the Irish he despised so much helped his own Natives without hesitation and vice versa.

      And here we are today. Our division will be our undoing.
      All I ever wanted, was to be left alone. Let me fend for myself. You do you. However, they just couldn't just let me be. Apparently, when you are poisoned with so much greed, lust, and power, it creates an emptiness in your soul. It creates a thirst that can never be quenched. If the world isn't enough for you, you will become a slave to your own corruption.
      I don't want this. I want peace. But some folks cannot be reasoned with. The darkest days in humanity are about to begin. Subjugation is anticipated, resistance will be inevitable. Blood will be spilled. Innocence will be slain. There will be horrors and terror beyond what is imaginable. When it's over, no one wins. We all lose.
      I will nurture and protect my garden. There is good in this world and it must be defended. My God, at what a cost.

      Bill is the person who divides America. He believes that by birth right you are automatically special, that no one can come up in the world unless accepted by the ruling power. Bill is the man who steals resources then calls himself a hero when he gives portions of the resources back and anyone who defies him labeled a villain to his America. His story continues now, but instead of "The Natives," they are called nationalist.

    Daniel Day-Lewis has been, hands down, one of the finest actors of all time. The way he seamlessly goes from surprise, to shock, to visible sadness, to just sheer wit and sarcasm in his final words (to hide this disappointment in how he perceives everything he believed in having gone to Hell around him, and just preferring to allow himself be finished by his enemy instead to avoid the shame)… he will be sorely missed in the acting world, but, the way things are, it was probably for his own good…

    At 1:31 you see Bill obviously holding a knife. With what we saw earlier in the movie that he is capable of, it's safe to assume he could have gotten Amsterdam first, but chose not to. As if he took one look around him seconds prior, and thought to himself that he didn't want to be a part of this anymore, and just let Amsterdam take his life. Little attention to detail like that is what makes this movie one of the best.

      @@barbarablue2571 Bill wasn't tired of blood. He realized in this moment that he really was a "relic of the ancient law"; he realized the old world he represented, the world of honorable hand to hand combat, blood debts, etc.- that world was over and modernity was beginning to take form around them. The sacred laws of combat no longer apply in that new modern world, when the government is more than capable of wiping everyone off the map if they wanted to- hence all the police interfering in this scene. The new modern world belongs to the them, not the people, and certainly not to street gangs anymore. The ancient law is dead. It's why the final shot of the movie shows big 21st century skyscrapers replacing everything, burying it beyond memory. Bill did not want to be a part of this new world, full of cowards and politicians. He would never get an honorable death in that world. So he took this as his one last chance to die honorably, to die with the old world.

    In Bill's earlier monologue with Vallon, he talks about surviving an encounter with the Priest where, before the Priest could kill him, Bill looks away, and the Priest, being "a great man," allows him to live so that he would live in shame. This was a defining moment for Bill, and even though Bill cut out his own eye, sending it to the Priest before finally killing him, you get the sense that his shame never left him. Where he had hoped for absolution, he wound up with only grief and shame after killing such an honorable man. Then, in this scene where Vallon exacts his own revenge, we see Bill's body turn over abruptly so that he can face his killer as he dies. This is the absolution that Bill sought, and it is granted to him. What we are not shown is whether it was Vallon or Bill himself who takes this action of turning his body over. It's an interesting way of both granting Bill the agency of ridding himself of the burden of shame and granting Vallon one final gesture of allowing his enemy to die honorably. If we can't determine who actually took the action, then it is up to us, in which case we can assume both actions have taken place. The type of filmmaking that gives you relatable villains who have complex relationships with the heroes, where there is grey area between hero and villain, is great at evoking strong, conflicting emotions as the action reaches a conclusion that raises more questions than it answers. Incredible acting and directing at work here.

    • @HerrinSchadenfreude
      @HerrinSchadenfreude 4 місяці тому +2

      Great comment! I honestly don't think Bill had the strength two eye blinks away from death to have flipped over that fast. It had to be Amsterdam turning him. Which I think is the perfect ending to such a brilliant scene and beautiful movie. By the end of this scene both of them had made peace with that which had driven and defined them all their lives. Bill with resisting the new way of the world, and Amsterdam with the idea that Bill was an evil, larger than life bogeyman. He was always ever human, for better or worse, and so was Amsterdam. Which is why I think he turned Bill to avoid taking such a great honor from him as facing his opponent. And that's reflected even more in the fact that he buried him right next to Priest.

Was to point out that there is no place for gangs and the division they were eager to keep was just putting the progress on hold. The army putting a violent stop to everything [the strife and the gang battle] including the old ways.

    The wonderful thing about this movie is how it frames historical events. Just like people at the time, we are swayed one way or another to see who is good or bad based on the lens we view it from. In the movie we're seeing the triumph of a young hero against a personification of evil, while the government uses terrible force to end the time and bring in a new era. Today we have the blessing of being able to see things through a historical frame, and can often see that everyone involved was a scumbag being put down. This is nothing new in film and stories, but this move deliberately plays with our viewpoint in a way that is symbolic to people at the time, and I think it's kind of rare to be pulled off so successfully.

      Watch the last fight scene again start a few minutes before this clip. Amsterdam (DiCaprio) doesn't stand a chance against Bill The Butcher in their 1 on 1 fight. The Butcher gets hit by an artillery shell before he can kill Amsterdam and the wounds would have killed him anyway. Amsterdam stabbing him was basically a mercy killing.
      As for "stabbing people in the back" in the 1860s medicine was very crude and most importantly there were no antibiotics.
      Any injury from a weapon could be life threatening or at least life altering.
      You can kill a man who isn't nearly as good a fighter as you, but all he has to do is get 1 decent shot in with an dirty knife and you could easily lose your limb or die from infection in those days.
      The Butcher was smart to not make a habit out of hand to hand combat in the streets. No matter how good you are, your luck will run out after a dozen fights or so.

    I loved the movie for the acting the script and the multiplicity of issues. The buthcher said he was true american , the migrant irish proved he was worth in the land of yankees and the soldiers who fought the arson were americans ... the development and acceptance of a population in a country where none are originally from there. I loved the movie .

      It had big plot holes , in history . none of the gangs depicted existed at the same time. Its a bit like the kingdom of heaven movie , mixed historic events to paint a picture on how it was like .

    The guy charging the soldiers always confused me. Seems like a really dramatic touch that should have happened entirely before the climax of the film. Instead it’s intercut, and it just takes away from the end. Plus, it’s not really a character we care about or whose motivation is clear. People who don’t want to be drafted generally aren’t willing to die for the cause, that’s kind of the point, they just wanted to be left alone.

      i always wondered about the theme of the ending, like the tone of the ending is very nostalgic and melancholic and i come to think scorsese wanted to make a point about freedom here. bill the butcher dies along with his america, the land of the free, overtaken by government aided by soldiers. the old new york represents the old america which is burned down and rebuilt. he dies and as he dies, he sees the america he loved dieing around him, the breaking point from the land of the free to a land where people are controlled by their government. that why "atleast i die a TRUE american". and the guy charging at the soldiers merely represents the last roar of a dieing america. the guy would rather die free than be drafted and do his governments bidding. as a man of the 60-70s as well as having an immigrant background where the death toll in wars was always high, i am pretty sure scorsese is anti war and anti draft. anyway thats my interpretation.
