I have watched this movie over and over and over and never get tired of it. Daniel Day Lewis’s performance was the greatest performances of all time. He did a hell of a good job in There Will Be Blood Also. The most powerful actor ever!
Yeah without him it isn't anything super special outside of the sets and production design, but he elevates the entire film and makes it feel epic and real at the same time
@@beestingzaI felt like he really got into his character and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. But I just didn't think he was very good in The Gangs of New York.
Daniel Day is one hell of an actor. In "There Will Be Blood", he was as cold as Greenland. I could actually feel my aversion to him coming off the screen. I felt about him in that moment like I feel about snakes, fear, pulse 110, sweating. Yes. He has a gift and he works very, very hard. Also as the butcher in Gangs of New York he carried the ball. He was "the boss" on that screen, intimidating beyond most actors talent, holding back violence that could explode any second.
DDL picked this movie up and put it on his back like no actor I ever seen. Amazing. Most ppl want him to un-retire. I say, job well done! Enjoy life, sir 🫡
My brother and I constantly quote some of the more obscure lines from Gangs of New York, much to the utter confusion and occasional fascination of others. We wouldn't have it any other way.
Day-Lewis should have got the Oscar nod for this year. Adrien Brody won for the Pianist, and although I think he did great, Day-Lewis alone made this a memorable movie
It's okay if you can separate the person from their crime. People love Alice in Wonderland and Charles Dodgson (the writers actual name) was a huge paedo
Talent and perversion are sometimes tightly linked. What is more depressing is how long he got away with it with so many Hollywood folks in the know. It’s a perverted and immoral crowd, but they do make great entertainment and art.
need to separte the creep from the art, and this case it's easy cause he was never in the movies compared to mike jackson who was on the front lines lol, that said you can't deny MJ's art
An amazing film and one of my favourites. I'm heading to NYC next week and will remember this film and the history of the city while I am there. This was a great video.
One of the greatest films ever made. Also, this film would not have been made without Harvey Weinstein. I am confused, but not about whether or not I love this film. I love this film.
Fun Fact: the real life Bill The Butcher, was obsessed with trying to fight my great-great-grand Uncle John L. Sullivan. John l Sullivan was the last heavyweight bear knuckle fighter and the first heavyweight WBC. Bill the butcher being egotistical, wanted to fight the greatest fighter in the world and John L. kept denying him lol. If memory serves me this was also around the time Bill the butcher died.
Wow, what a story! Thanks for sharing it with us. I can tell you a "sad fact" about the members of our small team. Our ancestors were from URSS. The Soviet Union made huge effort to erase people's memory about their families previous to the revolution. So, they stole the stories like yours.
Bullshit Bare Knuckle never stopped in the UK we also gave you wrestling via catch as catch can look it up Jem Mace fought after Sullivan look up Lenny Mclean, Roy Shaw its a British sport that never left Gypsy Gorman etc etc
pretty darn cool vid, guys , thank you very much :) I think the film was epic and I rather watch a longer than a shorter flick so I was happy with it. :)
One of my Top 💯 Favorite Films of All Time, and arguably Marty's best film second only to TAXI DRIVER. This epic masterpiece was really a case of Marty coming full circle, and we're not likely to get a film like this for a long time!
Cameron Diaz was so terribly miscast in this movie. Her accent was terrible and having to share scenes with the nightly Daniel Day Lewis just made her look even worse.
One of the best movies of all times. DDL & DiCaprio were so good. Second favorite DDL movie behind Last of the Mohican. That ending scene with U2’s “the hands that built America” is such a strong ending…we will be forgotten in time, everything we think is important and that we fight for in our daily lives will one day just be an old memory for those of us still alive from that time, and then once they’re gone it’ll be the next generations time to be forgotten in time as well.
John C Reilly was pretty good in this. He has become the new Taylor Negron. When you see him you always say thats the guy that was in the other movie with so-and-so
The shift, the subtle, mesmerizing shift in bills expression when feigning crying about the dead rabbit... ...I mean...just pure perfection in performance!
Fantastic story and just an awesome production. Also, DDL was so absolutely horrible in this movie it made me angry, as he was also in “There Will Be Blood”. In both movies, I’ve never been more aware of someone’s forced effort at acting, method or otherwise. “Whoopsie Daisy!” my ass, should have stuck to making shoes.
The Twin Towers still standing at the end is what made me break down the most. Civilization is crumbling. A QUOTE From Bill the Butcher. And to Old YORK
I never knew that when Lewis taps his eye in the movie, that’s not movie magic, he actually wore a glass covering over his eye and really tapped it making that sound very authentic and look very real.
Not many people mention how this movie is about the injustices and exploitation on all sides that made America that is today. Its not just the emancipation of slavery but every person from many nationalities who sacrificed themselves to make it but who are forgotten
Marty is a great director with a fatal flaw: editing. That is why he only won his first Oscar at very old age and by only copying a Hong Kong movie. Otherwise, he would have won 10 of them.
daniel day lewis is an acting savant....yes he works extremely hard. his hard work would surely make him a great actor on its own.. but he wouldnt be wouldnt be the greatest actor whos ever lived without his god given talent. it sets him apart.. i think i just realized what it is. hes called an actor, and maybe he is to a small degree... but hes the closest ive ever seen anyone BECOME someone else. its not acting its becoming. if you asked him who bill the butcher is between takes, id bet he would say "who wants to know?" and pull his cleaver out menacingly
6:45 the butcher going to the gym and listening to Eminem, while I approve, does not seem very method 😂. Hopefully it was just some kettlebells and maybe rolling a barrel around lol.
What I learned from this is...to be a producer us a hard fucking job. It's your money another's visión. You need to permit and to say that's enough. When to push when to say nothing. While risking millions upon millions.
method acting isnt admirable. its lame and annoying for the other people around. 🙄 a GOOD actor could get in and out of character when needed, couldnt you say? anyways, on that note--this movie fucking slaps.
@@JenHoegeman oh i for sure am not formally taught anything about it either. and i def understand getting *deep* intona character. but my argument is that that actor ISNT that person, and the people that surround that actor are working with the actor, not the character. and while improv might happen fluidly, any corrections or suggestions need to be understood. its other peoples jobs and regular days. again, im totally not an actor nor in the biz at all, but i have heard more stories of how difficult it is to work with someone who cant come off a character to discuss real world stuff. i also appreciate and agree with you on folks like leo and cruise. theyre just doing the same thing a lot of the time. but can you imagine being the cashier at the store when jim carey came in as andy kauffman? a prime example of someone "methoding" to the point of annoying the crew. i dunno, theres a place for it i guess. anyways, have a good week. 👍🏾💜
@@ambert.3792 acting is an art. not every painter paints the same way, not every singer sings the same way....art can be weird and thats the beauty of it. I understand what youre saying, but if he felt the only way he could give his best performance was by method acting, then he did well, judgying by everyone praising his performance years later.
It is so weird that character actors like Daniel Day Lewis will listen to modern music to get in character, right? Idk, I'm obviously not an actor or anything close, but the whole thing seems like a big sham to me. "No, I won't get out of character in between takes! Fuck you, I'll use it as an excuse to treat everyone around me like shit! Blast that Eminem!"
Every time I see a video titled “things you didn’t know” I dislike. They should be titled “things I didn’t know so I made a video about it because I think so highly of myself that if I didn’t know about something you certainly didn’t know about it”.
Weird movie. Quirky. Not an all time great. The script was ok but not flawless. But Daniel Day Lewis was beyond great. I have never seen any better acting in any movie.
So did Weinstein fund the movie so he could creep on Cameron Diaz? I like the movie but I think they should have used different actors for DiCaprio and Diaz's parts. It just felt like they had to throw big names in that movie to get people in the theaters. Casting Daniel Day-Lewis was perfect though
6:30 "Daniel Day Lewis would listen to Eminem songs at full volume, especially "The Way I Am"." So it was basically like my sophomore year of high school lol
Leo D. was one actor that REALLY REALLY REALLY do not fit the Movies style. everytime he was on the screen it to me out the movie also Camrean Deaz She also should have been re cast

I liked his Plainview character every bit as much as Bill.
Lewis* bro come on
Bill is truly my most favorite villain.
Daniel Day *Lewis* (not Luis)
The fact that this didn’t win for best production design or set decoration is downright criminal.
Fact
Daniel Day Lewis carried this movie. One of his best roles ever.
Yeah without him it isn't anything super special outside of the sets and production design, but he elevates the entire film and makes it feel epic and real at the same time
@@Rozza2k DiCaprio wasn't bad, but he's always himself. He doesn't ever disappear into a role like Lewis does.
@@beestingza I disagree a little, he was brilliant in django unchained and fully committed to that character
@@beestingzaI felt like he really got into his character and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. But I just didn't think he was very good in The Gangs of New York.
Agreed and it’s not even close, which when you consider his career says a lot.
Gangs of New York not winning any oscars is just criminal...atleast it deserved oscars for best movie, best director n obviously Daniel Day-Lewis
Fuck the Academy. They have almost always snubbed better films for popular garbage.
It's common for the most powerful art to not be appreciated to the max until later.
Yep. One of my fav movies Shawshank Redemption was totally slept on until much later the appreciation grew from vhs and television

Leo and Dan made one of the best movies ever made. Historical details notwithstanding!

My brother and I constantly quote some of the more obscure lines from Gangs of New York, much to the utter confusion and occasional fascination of others. We wouldn't have it any other way.
Couple a fiddling bens ?
It's amazing the drama that goes on beyond the scenes. And what we ended up with was one of the most incredible movies ever made IMO.
one of the best movies I've ever seen.
THIS is the video I've been waiting on, one of my absolute favorite movies of all time. Great one guys!
Lovley video as always! Gang of new york is one of my favorite movie still! i watched about a month ago for like the 20th time 💯
One of the best movies ever. If Lord of the Rings hadn't been released at the time, GONY would have definitely picked up a lot of gold at the awards.
Day-Lewis should have got the Oscar nod for this year. Adrien Brody won for the Pianist, and although I think he did great, Day-Lewis alone made this a memorable movie
I hate to say it, but without Harvey a lot of some of the best movies ever made would never have been made. What an ironic depressing fact

Yeah right. Plenty of fat boys with money bags in Hollyweird. Use some logic man!
He even made django

one of my favorite movies, and Daniel Day Lewis is AMAZING! this and There will be Blood are iconic roles by him.
pretty darn cool vid, guys , thank you very much :)
I think the film was epic and I rather watch a longer than a shorter flick so I was happy with it. :)
I am so amazed how good the footage is for the time. I mean his was like 200 years ago? Such brave cameramen
Great information in this video.
People say 'ol Harvey is STILL SERVING to this day...
So many brilliant actors in this film. Also, Cameron Diaz is in it too.😉
“The butcher’s leavings” is too low of a role for anyone else.
youve earned my subscription friend, no mean feat, good content
Daniel Day Lewis stayed in character. Listened to eminem to get pumped 😂 That's amazing. It's all about Dre
Thank you so much for this!!
It's one of the best movies of all time and a complete movie
The oscars were all glued up with cunny juice that year
This is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen.
D.D. Lewis made the movie a success. That guy takes his roles seriously.
One of my Top 💯 Favorite Films of All Time, and arguably Marty's best film second only to TAXI DRIVER. This epic masterpiece was really a case of Marty coming full circle, and we're not likely to get a film like this for a long time!
Cameron Diaz was so terribly miscast in this movie. Her accent was terrible and having to share scenes with the nightly Daniel Day Lewis just made her look even worse.

I want the three hour director's cut. 👍
Reading this book now…. Very brutal time in nyc history. Looking forward to watching the movie when I finish.
Great film!!
They were instructed to cut the movie by an hour!? I want to see this extra hour!
He wasn't kidding when he said he liked to work with pigs.
John C Reilly was pretty good in this. He has become the new Taylor Negron. When you see him you always say thats the guy that was in the other movie with so-and-so
I don’t know what harder to believe: that Daniel Day Lewis quit acting to become a shoemaker or that he was blaring Eminem every day for hours on end
It all sounds equally great 😂❤
If this movie was released today it would by rule be ineligible from receiving any oscars because the cast wasn't diverse enough. Totally insane.
He’s such a wonderful actor that it’s hard to imagine him as a normal person ❤
great movie. still waiting on a 4k bluray transfer or some type of upgrade. cinematography was amazing in this movie.
The movie is fraught with fundamental character and plot issues its’ just that Daniel Day Louis performance was so awesomely spectacular.
The shift, the subtle, mesmerizing shift in bills expression when feigning crying about the dead rabbit...
...I mean...just pure perfection in performance!
Fantastic story and just an awesome production. Also, DDL was so absolutely horrible in this movie it made me angry, as he was also in “There Will Be Blood”. In both movies, I’ve never been more aware of someone’s forced effort at acting, method or otherwise. “Whoopsie Daisy!” my ass, should have stuck to making shoes.
"daniel goes to gym everyday, while listering to eminem at fill volume"
*wait what ?*
This video is literally reading the IMDB trivia page.
This is 1 of My All Time Favorite Movies 🍿
With Goonies, Back T.T. Future
Casino , Friday
Aviator , Cloak & Dagger 🗡️
Missing a few off hand
I guess you never saw Aliens 😅😅😅
The Twin Towers still standing at the end is what made me break down the most. Civilization is crumbling. A QUOTE From Bill the Butcher. And to Old YORK
I never knew that when Lewis taps his eye in the movie, that’s not movie magic, he actually wore a glass covering over his eye and really tapped it making that sound very authentic and look very real.
I could watch thwt opening everyday ❤
Is there a directors cut of this? Id watch a 4hr cut of GoNY.
Not many people mention how this movie is about the injustices and exploitation on all sides that made America that is today. Its not just the emancipation of slavery but every person from many nationalities who sacrificed themselves to make it but who are forgotten
It’s probably my favourite film,
7:55
Daniel bizarrely suits a shaved head
classic movie. it's a top 100 i'm sure..
The old ways are the best ways. I will always prefer this style of filmmaking over the crap that’s turned out now.
Masterpiece
Beside Cameron diaz the movie was great
I’d give anything for that sept. 12 energy back in our country
I want a pair of Daniel Day-Lewis'.
Good old Harvey🤣
Nice
Marty is a great director with a fatal flaw: editing. That is why he only won his first Oscar at very old age and by only copying a Hong Kong movie. Otherwise, he would have won 10 of them.
Dude, it wasn't "18th Century New York". It was 19th Century New York.

How do you wear a glass eye?

The movie was set in the 19th century(1800s). Not the 18th century.
How could one not be interested in being in Gangs of New York, or indeed ANY Scorsese film? I imagine he had self-confidence issues...
Life was so different not that long ago.
Scorsese's Apocalypse Now...
“Given the director’s frequent commercial failures” Is this narrator serious?
My favorite non Lord of the Rings movie ever.
That sucks that such a piece of crap is associated with this great movie.
#1 Bill the butcher was the good guy...
I’m in this movie 😊
Ok, I'll write
Harvey the goat
It wasn't that long ago that movies didn't completely suck. Too bad the sucking is here forever now. Guess nothing can last forever. #getwokegobroke

6:30 "Daniel Day Lewis would listen to Eminem songs at full volume, especially "The Way I Am"."
So it was basically like my sophomore year of high school lol
19th Century New York not 18th Century! 1800s = 19th Century!
Irish steve brule
This movie disapointed me
2 things:
1. Camron Diaz has zero business in a Martin film.
2. Did you actually try to get sympathy for Weinstein?
Daniel Day-Lewis was a hell of an actor I wish you wouldn't have retired could you imagine some of the other movies he could have made great
Leo D. was one actor that REALLY REALLY REALLY do not fit the Movies style. everytime he was on the screen it to me out the movie also Camrean Deaz She also should have been re cast
