@arthur5dent Allow me to clarify. The battles will always matter to the gangs in question. Although for the irish this was primarily a matter of self defense. In real life the so called Natives were notorious for assaulting irish immigrants. Even as they were getting off the boats. The real Bill Cunning was very racist and confrontational. Fast forward to the present and gangs in the U.S. are fighting either for control of the local illegal drug trade. Or for territory which they frankly do not own. So it is what it is.
I love this movie. Absolutely adore it. I only noticed watching this time that the Butcher throws a rando at Priest Vallon to distract him and then stabs him under the arm. All his talk of honor and nobility and he defeats his greatest adversary with a cheap trick. LAYERS, I TELL YOU.
Ehhh, i mean if were gonna call that a dirty or cheap trick then ya gotta call everyone fighting dirty, not like its a 1 on 1 compeition, these dudes came to rumble, they know what they getting into. Might find youself against someone 3 times your size, or 4 people at once, or fighting off the ground, with your back against a wall nowhere to move, getting hit from behind etc. Etc. Plenty of situations where your skill or talents in a numbers battle can be reduced to nothing outside of a true 1 vs 1 affair, sometimes in one of them as well.
Yeah, also having a giant ape climbing atop of the World Trade Center in the 70s, teenaged mutant turtles running around in the sewers in the 80s, and an alien invasion in the 90s, you can't help but wonder where it's all heading to.
The lines between Daniel Day Lewis and Liam Neeson is just cinematic gold right there, and of course the battle between two gangs with many legendary actors is just the cherry on top.
Fun fact: Liam Neeson did indeed die during the filming of this scene. All the reactions from the cast members were genuine. Director Martin Scorsese switched the prop knife used during rehearsal with a real one to achieve the desired effect. In an interview with Vanity Fair in 2023, Daniel Day-Lewis confessed that Scorsese didn’t need to switch the prop knife since Day-Lewis had also prepared a real knife to kill Liam Neeson during the shoot as part of his method acting.
That's why it cracks me up that some people don't view Bill as the villain. One of his first acts in this film was to throw one of his fellow "natives" under the bus for his own benefit. The guy was an awful human, and even Daniel Day Lewis would probably resent anyone who was sympathetic to that absolute soulless human being he portrayed.
The very moment you realize that right up until the 1880s, transportation, lighting, and the mindset of people were still the same as that of the Imperial Roman period and the Middle Ages. Everything and every technological innovation we have today came from 1880s onward. At the time of this legendary gang battle, homes were still lit and heated with the same implements that a farmer in Anglo Saxon England would be familiar with. But 20 years later, the D-cell flashlight was invented and was available to purchase at one of the very stores on that same street.

Keep your arms at the ready. Wouldnt want the sitting president to try to disarm democracy, prevent the peaceful transition of power or allow the capitol building to be attacked by their supporters. Oh wait.. Good thing you have your arms at the ready for the 'dictator on day one'. Who even remembers what the second amendment was for anyway. Probably wasnt important.
@@gamevidz8763 That's not true. If I, a white guy, was born in Africa, I wouldn't be a native African, would I? To be a native of a country you must belong to an ethnic group that is native to that particular country. But Anglo-Americans have been in the Americas for 400 years at this point, so it's kind of up for debate as to whether or not they're native or not. 400 years is a long time. Maori are considered native to New Zealand despite only being their for 800 years.
Daniel Day Lewis is the best actor still alive. Most Actors cant help some of themselves coming through ìn the parts they play, Day lewis totally becomes whatever character he is performing
I always thought it told a lot about William Cutting’s character the way he respected The Priest Valon’s. Even though he was a heartless savage Bill had a code that he lived by. He respected strength and honor even if it was his enemy.
3:01 always confused me but I think it was an editing mistake. His arm was never meant to be cleaved with an axe in the final cut. Seemed another mistake was made with the freeze at 6:15
I cant understand, why is it that the enemies seem to have crazy amounts of respect for each other??? Also, the rules of the combat are super respectful?? The horn blows and everyone stops, like a ref blowing a whistle, yet there is someone trying to kill you
Lol it cause both leaders know they are the same guy. They fought many times in hand to hand combat with honor which is how they earn each other respect even though they hated each other.
The reason they become leaders of those groups is because they know how to treat people to earn the respect of everyone around them. They're enemies because they're competing for something, not because they don't like each other.
Loves this film. ❤️ Daniel day lewis is the only actor on earth to make leonardo decaprio seem like an amateur...that being said, everyone in this film did superb acting. Martin Scorsese is the top g of directors, the man is levels above others. 5 stars
This movie was robbed of an Oscar. A story worth watching worth talking about and utterly unforgettable. A fucking magnum opus on a series of gangs un America
I like how the first guy that gets hit with the cleaver and spins around clearly has no cut or any sort of special effects done to where there should be a cut wound😂
he does dramatic roles too, he just doesnt do comedic roles, like Jim carry in eternal sunshine and robin williams in dead poets society and good will hunting
@@durden6627 seems like an editing mistake, as he was shown fighitng off Butcher with both of his hands....besides, if one of his arms was cut off, how can fight without bleeding badly. But that was quite a dumb editing mistake
@@andyusfca thats what i thought. Almost too dumb for an Scorsese movie, that's why i am wondering if maybe these was intentional. As the priest said earlier about cutting enemy hands swiftly, maybe this "mistake" is to forebode his soon death at Bill's hands? Dont know what im talking about
Daniel Day Lewis, just another level of acting, I really hated the character here so much when I was young, Now, I understand that its because of his unique talent. Just amazing.

It did matter. It mattered to them. Just because history forgets doesn’t mean it’s all pointless.

The lore of this film is that Daniel Day Lewis literally became bill the butcher on set, and that's why he did such an amazing job.
He’s a method actor. It’s what he does and does it brilliantly
