Lewis and Oldman are the best actors ever. They are chameleons. I looked into their filmography and realized that they played some of my favorite characters and I didn't even realize it was them!
Daniel Day-Lewis always remained in character. There’s a story about how Liam Neeson would work out at the gym early in the morning each day before filming. Day-Lewis arrived at the gym later and would greet him every day by saying, “Good Morning, Priest,” always with the full New-York accent.
It’s an interesting movie. “The blood stays on the blade” is a metaphor for one cannot wash away their sins-the wicked deeds you’ve caused will come back to haunt you as it has with Butcher Bill-and yet the city of New York is shown to forget everything entirely. The gangs of New York helped shaped the future, and that future abandoned them quicker than night turned to day.
This has been one of my favorite films since it came out purely for Daniel Day Lewis’ performance. He truly became Bill the butcher and absolutely steals every scene. It’s such a raw and gritty aesthetic with incredible writing and costumes. Just a fun film!
I don't know what it is about Anderson films. I just never really feel them. The directing, filming, acting...all excellent. And I do like the little vignettes within the films, just not as a whole. I see the quality, yet they just don't resonate for me... I really want to see Licorice Pizza though... I may need to revisit these films.... I do have a good understanding on why Magnolia and Punch Drunk Love don't work for me... I like parts of them, just now the whole.... There will Be Blood is more confounding for me. On paper it should hit on all cylinders. I just...uhh...well I don't care about any of the characters... It's been a while I think I'll watch it again.....
Every movie Daniel Day-Lewis acts in is AMAZING, he's a top tier actor! Some of my favourite movies of his are, "Last of the Mohican's", "In the name of the Father", "Lincoln", "The Crucible" & "There will be Blood", just to name a few.
17:51 The whole monologue about fear, “the spectacle of fearsome acts” from DDL, while wrapped in an American flag, is one of my favorite moments of a film. “Civilization is crumbling.”
That whole neighborhood of Five Points is now a Park (Columbus Park), Chinatown and the NYC Court Houses. The gangs really did rule the streets...and the Draft Riots were insanely bloody. The last frame of the movie has the World Trade Center as part of the skyline.
I believe there was some controversy too, there were requests before the film released to remove the WTC from the skyline at the end, Scorcese wanted it kept in, rightfully so as it's an integral part of New York's history, same as the events depicted in the movie.
I first watched this movie during my first semester of college as part of an assignment for my history course, I had to write an essay on its depiction of the New York riots and gang wars of the time. It turned out to be one of the movies that finally clicked something in my head and started me down a path of learning more about and appreciating cinema as an art form. This was the beginning for me.
The book (published in 1928) is worth reading too. It's more like an encyclopedia of the gangs at different points in the history of New York, so the story in the movie is original. The book provided the background.
Daniel Day is so good. He is like a sleeper for one of the best actors of our time. Every movie with him in it, I can vividly recall his role. Gangs is one of my favorite movies ever
Shutter Island and Gangs of New York are two Scorsese/Leo movies that any reactor should watch. I love how much you appreciate shots and have to ask, wouldn't a Peaky Blinders film be so interesting under the direction of Martin Scorsese? What a collaboration that would be. Cillian's eyes telling as much of the story as Martin's direction. Great reaction Arianna
Love the richness of the movie. Does make me think of my father's side who settled here in the 1860's, started a business. Many buried in the Brooklyn cemetery. Have a picture with one of them holding a rifle wearing a hat, like this movie 😊.
Daniel Day Lewis's character was based on the real life "William Poole" AKA "Bill The Butcher" (1821-1855), who was the leader of the Bowery Boys Gang and the "Know Nothing" political movement in NYC. He was also a part -time butcher, fireman, and bare -knuckles brawler/street fighter. He was assassinated by a rival gang leader in a bar. His last words were, "Well boys, I die a true American."
"Gangs Of New York" was such a very good book, a real page turner. And a wicked, killer film with a stellar cast, great storyline and superb acting. Your reactions all the way through it....very nice. Liking your style quite a lot. Your quick witted and very funny. Thank you for this glance back to a grand Hollywood picture. Enjoyed this one again. Thanks for bringing us along. Cannot wait for the next so I hit your sub button, black bell, and a thumbs up. And here's my little comment. Good luck with this channel. I think you got the stuff to make it a great success. Big shoutout from the mountains of Gatlinburg. That's in East Tennessee. Much Peace and lots of love to you and yours. Bless you. Go with God. Later, Love.
and Lincoln. Daniel-day Lewis is no joke. He retired now but he was very selective he was very selective in the roles he accepted. He would wait five years in-between projects for the right role. he is a hardcore method actor to the extreme and nobody has more best actor Oscars than he does even though he does way fewer films than most big name actors do. The guy is a generational talent.
You guys release this video when in staying in NYC for a week. A few weeks ago I was in Colorado Springs and I watched one of the videos the girls mentioned living I. Colorado Springs.
Now folk will try to convince you that the next movie to see With Daniel Day Lewis should be The Last Of The Mohecans, or The Boxer, or My Left Foot... All fine movies. Better then fine to be truthful (LotM is a little schmaltzy, but enjoyable). But, if you are gonna watch something, check out The Unbearable Lightness Of Being. If I'm not mistaken the book was categorized as an "unfilmible" movie.... I don't know if it's worth reacting to, but it's worth seeing...
Can watch this movie on accident back in the day when it was movie channels and not streaming best freaking movie I ever watched specially the ending monologue by Leo Daniel Day-Lewis phenomenal evil guy watch phenomenal range same for Mr Leo and Cameron a phenomenal job too❤ movies in my movie collection Favorite line in the movie The dragon line by Leo
The true lesson from the end of this film: There is no gang more powerful, more ruthless, and more self-serving ... than the political class They will use whatever factions will advance their own agendas, drop them at a moment's notice if political winds change, and will willingly send them to the slaughter without a second thought (even the economic elite who thought themselves untouchable as well) And so long as they have the lower factions constantly at each other's throats, they will continue to sit high above and orchestrate everyone else's demise
Until the push comes to shove and the "low" rise up and consume them, as they do in this flick. They literally drag them form their homes. unless I'm misremembering. Great Movie!
@@paulstirling3261 - They did that to the economic elites (like I mentioned), not the political class The political class (best embodied by Tammany and his cronies) sided with Butcher and the Natives ... until it became more beneficial to switch to Vallon and the Immigrants ... until it became more beneficial to wait and see how comes out on top of their war ... until it became most beneficial to just use the military to put them both down And then the film ends with Tammany telling his team to get everything ready because there were more Immigrants about to be getting off the boat for them to use for their means - aka NYC was just razed to the ground, but like Vallon said nobody will remember any of them or the things they did because it's already 'back to normal' for the political class as the machine keeps rolling on and building their power by rebuilding the city on top of the ruins
@@kristopherheenk2710 Sheiitt ye it was just the Toffs that got raided! I couldn't remember how it ended with Tammany and must have just Mashed him in with them. Defiantly need to give the film another watchthrough at some point.
Daniel Day Lewis one of the best actors when it comes to range
Lewis and Oldman are the best actors ever. They are chameleons. I looked into their filmography and realized that they played some of my favorite characters and I didn't even realize it was them!
Bill the Butcher is easily one of the best villains on screen. Competent, brutal, but compassionate in his own way.
Bill the butcher is not A villain he’s an antihero
Villain? He was the hero.
Ahhhh.......Daniel Day Lewis🤤No one can touch this guy's talent!!
100% agree he is leagues above other actors
Daniel Day-Lewis always remained in character. There’s a story about how Liam Neeson would work out at the gym early in the morning each day before filming. Day-Lewis arrived at the gym later and would greet him every day by saying, “Good Morning, Priest,” always with the full New-York accent.
The fact I heard this so menacingly in my head, then picturing Liam's reaction is killing me
It’s an interesting movie. “The blood stays on the blade” is a metaphor for one cannot wash away their sins-the wicked deeds you’ve caused will come back to haunt you as it has with Butcher Bill-and yet the city of New York is shown to forget everything entirely.

We gotta get these ladies hittin’ the “There Will Be Blood” now.
How they haven't watched it at this point is WILD!
SERIOUSLY. Tbh I’d love to see their takes on all Paul Thomas Anderson films
Who will drink their milkshake?
And Lincoln

Daniel Day Lewis tapping that glass contact with a real knife 😱
A madman for film, but damn is he fantastic.
Don't feel bad about not recognizing Daniel Day Lewis, thats actually just how good of an actor he is.
Daniel Day-Lewis doesn't merely portray characters. He literally becomes them.
I first watched this movie during my first semester of college as part of an assignment for my history course, I had to write an essay on its depiction of the New York riots and gang wars of the time.
It turned out to be one of the movies that finally clicked something in my head and started me down a path of learning more about and appreciating cinema as an art form. This was the beginning for me.

Going "ham" with the cleaver. Good one.
This is actually my favorite of all Martin Scorsese’s films and one of my favorite films period. Most of that is because of Daniel Day-Lewis.
Daniel Day Lewis would be up at night throwing knives outside his trailer since he never dropped character. He scared the shit out of DiCaprio.
man, I dunno what it is about the opening theme with that strangled flute, but I love its inconsistency
“Enthusiastic corruption of the public good” was my nickname in high school.
I was around during the 1800s and this movie is pretty accurate.
The way the bigger issues in the city just wiped away what the gangs were fighting over...
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Daniel Day Lewis makes the best "villain"...
Arianna, the fight between Priest Vallon's army and Bill's army at the beginning of the film was in 1846.

I can see Arianna living in this version of NYC. "Arianna's here to settle for good'n all, who holds sway over the 5 pints!"
I saw this movie in high school and it turned me into a Daniel day Lewis fan. I’ve watched everything he’s done since.
Daniel Day Lewis's character was based on the real life "William Poole" AKA "Bill The Butcher" (1821-1855), who was the leader of the Bowery Boys Gang and the "Know Nothing" political movement in NYC. He was also a part -time butcher, fireman, and bare -knuckles brawler/street fighter. He was assassinated by a rival gang leader in a bar. His last words were, "Well boys, I die a true American."
The first time I saw this, Daniel Day Lewis genuinely creeped me out.
This movie always makes me want to grow my moustache back.
Arianna feels the stories so deeply.
One of my favorite reactors 😌🙏
Hanging for "enthusiastic corruption", i feel like we should have this for politicians 😅
Been to the the real Bill the Butchers(William Poole) grave in Greenwood cemetery, crazy lore around the guy.
What? An Irish-American paying homage to The Butcher?!?
@@TylerD288 hahaha blasphemy I know, just some interesting NY history

The Sets were designed by 3 Time Oscar Winner Dante Ferretti & his Wife Francesca Lo Shavio at Cinecittá Studios Rome, Italy
🇮🇹,🇺🇸, 🇮🇪
Speaking of New York, watch Escape from New York (Kurt Russell).
Daniel Day Lewis plays 2 of my top 3 villains ever
Bill the Butcher and Abe Lincoln? Jk
I saw this movie young and the scene with butcher wrapped in the American flag stuck with me. That was some unbelievable acting
GREAT flick and an excellent reaction! It was a very well written story, acted out by a great cast.
Daniel Day Lewis is next level. Hope you'll check out There Will Be Blood at some point. It's another 1800s film with Lewis as leading actor.

Great stuff as always, would love to see an in depth discussion on this one like Arianna suggested
Gangs of New York is a helluva read.........and a great movie. Thanks for sharing.
This should really have been a two part reaction. Too much good stuff has been left out!
12:10 This is true btw. Thats why some tattoo artist start practicing on pig skin
Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time! Amazing Reaction 👏
The end of the movie where the scenery changes always makes me feel like nobody will remember you!
You spotted Mad-Eye Moody but I was wondering if you'd recognise another Harry Potter character. 5:00 That's Professor Slughorn... 🙂
6:22 I did not realize that was Henry Thomas till now next to Leo😅
25:24 the way he changes his expression so subtly is terrifying
D'aed rabbid roughly tanslated means hulking bully
12:23 there ar cannibals I can't remember where that call human meat "long pig"
This is my favorite Scorsese film by far.
24:07 ..."California... Will you come with me?"... Hell, no, is filled with hipsters...
I almost forgot how great this film is, it's been so long since I've seen it
Fantastic movie!! DDL kills it as always.
The parting shot of the Trade Centers still hurts 💔😭😭😭😭
6:58 the covering up of the fire hydrant was a real thing so they could rob places

Leonardo's friend that betrays him is played by Elliott from E.T.
Bill the Butcher is my spirit animal.
Ha. This week I've been re-reading the 1920s book by Herbert Asbury this was inspired by.
Yes! I read that in high school.
Will be watching !
I went to see this at the cinema 3/4 times amazing movie
Reminds me of Southwest Sydney in the 90's haha
Awesome reaction to an awesome piece of cinema.

seeing this pop up on your channel - insta click. what a treat!
Can watch this movie on accident back in the day when it was movie channels and not streaming best freaking movie I ever watched specially the ending monologue by Leo Daniel Day-Lewis phenomenal evil guy watch phenomenal range same for Mr Leo and Cameron a phenomenal job too❤ movies in my movie collection
Favorite line in the movie The dragon line by Leo
In the name of the father is my favourite DDL film.
This is one of the first Scorsese movies I watched and it deserves more credit than it gets. It's fuckin awesome
The true lesson from the end of this film:
There is no gang more powerful, more ruthless, and more self-serving ... than the political class
They will use whatever factions will advance their own agendas, drop them at a moment's notice if political winds change, and will willingly send them to the slaughter without a second thought (even the economic elite who thought themselves untouchable as well)
And so long as they have the lower factions constantly at each other's throats, they will continue to sit high above and orchestrate everyone else's demise
Until the push comes to shove and the "low" rise up and consume them, as they do in this flick. They literally drag them form their homes. unless I'm misremembering. Great Movie!
@@paulstirling3261 - They did that to the economic elites (like I mentioned), not the political class
The political class (best embodied by Tammany and his cronies) sided with Butcher and the Natives ... until it became more beneficial to switch to Vallon and the Immigrants ... until it became more beneficial to wait and see how comes out on top of their war ... until it became most beneficial to just use the military to put them both down
And then the film ends with Tammany telling his team to get everything ready because there were more Immigrants about to be getting off the boat for them to use for their means - aka NYC was just razed to the ground, but like Vallon said nobody will remember any of them or the things they did because it's already 'back to normal' for the political class as the machine keeps rolling on and building their power by rebuilding the city on top of the ruins
@@kristopherheenk2710 Sheiitt ye it was just the Toffs that got raided! I couldn't remember how it ended with Tammany and must have just Mashed him in with them. Defiantly need to give the film another watchthrough at some point.
The political class is controlled by the wealthy class, which is the gang most dangerous to humanity.

🎶To me a-weigh, you Santy, My dear Annie
Oh, you New York girls, Can't you dance the polka?🎶
In my top three fav movies of all time. If not for The Godfather it would probably be number 1.
I wish I could watch movies with Arianna. 💔
Diegesis Awesome Video Today!!🔥🐐🐐💎
Now she has to watch There will be blood, I would also recommend In The Name Of The Father and The Boxer.
You have to do a reaction to "Last of the Mohicans" and "There Will Be Blood" to see more of Daniel Day Lewis
Whoa! My fav actor Daniel Day Lewis!
Underrated Scorsese one of his better ones.
I hope you watch There Will Be Blood.
Hope that you will eventually do a reaction to 'Phantom Thread.'
Daniel Day-Lewis most recent and one of his more underrated movies.
Today is going to be a good day, in about 5 hours!
Back then I imagine virtually any one of those stabs = death
The very beginning of the movie was set in the 1840s
Daniel Day Lewis is scary AF in this 😮
Finally this movie is making the rounds
Funny when she said that Diaz had spunk. She looks like she's been gurgeling and swallowed gallons upon gallons of spunk.
Bill, the Butcher was the good guy in this movie. Change my mind.
Watch the Crucible 1996 excellent film with D.D.Lewis.
If you like this movie I would suggest watching a show called Vineland Saga. I could see alot of similarities between the two.
Hellcat Maggie is my jam
Bill is a fucking savage. One of my all time favourite movie villains.
The jealous friend was the main kid in E.T.
"THERE WILL BE BLOOD" that hs to be the next one you watch.
Daniel Day Lewis is something else! In my opinion one of the most brilliant actors ever!!
Do Scarface with Maple and Arianna!
