Before long, Amsterdam’s personal vendetta becomes part of an erupting wave of full-blown gang warfare, as he and his fellow Irishmen fight to carve a place for themselves in their newly adopted homeland.

      He just means like he respected the virtue of why the priest acted on sparing him instead of killing him quick the priest wanted bill to suffer and live life as an outcast he respected priest vallion more than anything because he was willing to fight to the death for what he believed in he was a man that stood for dignity and morals killing a person who symbolizes something important is internalized more so then killing a bunch of people who lived meaningless existences

    At 2:50 you can hear DDL’s breathing wavering as he’s reminiscing about such an emotional moment. It’s like he was actually replaying the memory in his head. The ability of Lewis to portray these subtleties is a testament to how he is clearly one of the greatest actors of our time.

    I think Bill knows who Leo is at this point, and he's telling him
    "I respected your old man more than anyone, so if you come for me you best have the same respect I had for him. Don't stab me in the back, face me and let me die fighting"
    It's also why he doesn't kill Leo when he does try to sneak attack him. Bill knows Leo is probably his last chance to die a noble death in battle, but only if he rises up the same way Bill did back in the day. He's trying to recreate his own story in Leo so he can die like his hero, Priest Valen.

    "I cut out the eye that looked away", may be one of the hardest lines spoken on film. The personification of being human and weak, but reconciling this frailty with principals that are executed even when you are beholden to no one but yourself. This scene set the stage for the fight to come. In it, you are able to calmly piece together the depths that Bill would go to be victorious in battle, while at the same time feel the contempt and hatred Amsterdam has for Bill that he has had to subdue. I believe you even get insight into a contempt that Amsterdam is feeling for himself as well for not having already ceased opportunities he had to kill the Butcher.

    There's just something so endearing about a villain who can openly express so much admiration & respect towards a hero who fought them...
    There are so many stories where the bad guy acts with contempt towards anyone who ever opposes them. So it was refreshing to finally see someone like The Butcher who seems to mourn the passing of his greatest enemy. Appearing to be eternally grateful for the life lessons & experiences that were brought about by their conflict.
    Most writers lack the imagination and the balls to write their antagonists this way. They mostly seem to want to preach their personal views on social issues and talk down to their audience. They lack the social lens and maturity to give their villains any genuine aspects of humanity.

    An intensely private person, Daniel Day-Lewis remains untouched by the glamour and publicity that goes around and stays focused to deliver one unbelievable performance after another, internalizing the emotions that his characters undergo and immortalizing the characters in return, he is known for staying in his characters completely for the duration of the shooting of his films, getting into the skin of the roles even to the point of emotional and physical breakdown.

    I always thought this was Bills way of telling Amsterdam he knew who he was, in fact I believe it was a challenge, he was explaining that even though he may lose it would be better to come out and fight with honor than to try and kill him like a "sneak thief, unworthy of a noble name". Now I know I know Johnny told Bill who he was but still Bills reaction to that news was more anger that Johnny would betray a friend instead of the idea Amsterdam would want to kill him.

      Yea but if it was a mini series the bulk of it wouldn't have been so aesthetically pleasing, well directed, acted, etc. Movies are short, but editors gut all the nonsense which is why minute for minute, they are much better. Though a good show (Sopranos etc.) offer 60+ hours of passable to above average movie quality.
      It would be something to see a director the caliber of Scorcese and his team, and actors like Leo and DDL sign up for an extended production of something like this though - I wish that was what paid streaming services offered, instead of office reruns.

    1:28 Something to consider when Bill says “I killed the last honorable man…” This means he’s admitting that he himself isn’t honorable. Remember: Bill threw a henchman at Priest Vallon, and then shanked him while the priest was distracted. Bill also says how his earlier fight was “the finest beating I ever took.” He lost to Vallon in a fair and square fight, and only won the later fight through cheap shots. He didn’t win honorably. So he’s admitting here that by killing Priest Vallon, the world was left with only dishonorable men, himself included. That’s what I always think when I hear this line.

He deserves praise, but he doesn't deserve worship. It's ridiculous and childish.

      Love fades. Fear however, never fades if constantly exerted. You can get further on fear than love. Love won't make people do just anything for you, and people even hurt the ones they love all the time. People however don't tend to hurt the ones they fear. Of course from a moral perspective, love is better than fear.

The fact that he often goes into character during principal photography shoots for a film he stars in and doesnt leave character, including costumes, until his scenes are done - that's dedication and love for the art of acting.
