I would describe it as a flawed masterpiece. Even with the Weinstein meddling, Scorsese’s vision was so strong that you can’t help be engrossed by it. Sarah Polley was actually the first choice to play Jenny but didn’t get the role because she refused to sleep with that fat ogre. She would’ve been so much better than Cameron Diaz. Her chemistry with Leo would’ve made them feel more real and sympathetic as a couple.

You mentioned a couple of times about the "Wild West feel" of it, and that's appropriate. The movie is set during the beginning of the Wild West era (which many would be surprised to know only lasted about 30 years). The end of the film is set during the Draft Riots, but contrary to the trivia, it really doesn't accurately portray them. Originally anger was mainly directed at the rich, who were able to pay $300 each to have someone else be drafted in their places, while the poor had no such recourse. The focus of the riots quickly shifted, though, and for most of the riots the targets were black people. Reasons varied. Some were Southern sympathizers. Some felt the whole thing was none of their concern, and didn't see why they should have to fight. Some were upset because blacks were being hired to do their jobs (especially longshoremen). Some were simply racists. Whatever the reason, blacks were targeted. Some were lynched, many others killed, still more dispossessed. A black orphanage was looted and burned to the ground. The first black-owned pharmacy was destroyed. Black families were evicted from their homes by landlords who feared the rioters would damage their property while targeting the black tenants. Basically, it was truly horrible in many ways. Unfortunately, the movie ignores most of that so that it can maintain its "white nativists vs white immigrants" narrative unmuddled by context or concurrent events.

The gangs depicted in this movie continued in some form up until nearly 1920. Al Capone was originally a member of the Five Points gang. Gangs like the Why-o's, the East Siders and, yes, the Dead Rabbits ruled the streets until gradually overtaken by Sicilian/Italian mobsters, just in time for Prohibition. Tammany Hall held its power into the 1920s as well.

The original 'Bill the Butcher' became a character in nativist drama after he died. In these plays, his last words as he is dying are 'I thank God that I die a true American'. The best-known images of the poor in New York come from Jacob Riis, starting the 1880s. I think some of his photos served as models for the sets in this movie.

This is the first of the DD-L Trilogy: the 3 films that demonstrate Daniel Day-Lewis as possibly the greatest actor alive (or of this century): GANGS OF NEW YORK, THERE WILL BE BLOOD, and LINCOLN. Each one of them is a mic drop of acting, and he kept at it. Absolutely incredible catalog (and oddly enough, a 10-year span, one every 5 years). One interesting thing about Bill the Butcher is that his only shred of humanity comes through in his pride. Like the first battle: once he's won, he puts his rage and hate aside to give his enemy respect and even tenderness, letting him say goodbye to his son and waiting for him to ask for the killing blow; then forbidding anyone to desecrate the corpse. It's the closest we see to him NOT being a vicious, corrupt monster. So in a way he is a man of principle because those principles are strong enough--he believes in them so fervently--that they can overcome his impulses and personal desires. Cinecitta is pronounced "chin-ah-cheetah" and it was the studio where Fellini and many other of the Italian Neorealists shot their films during the golden age of European cinema.

27:21 They created the famous book cover in that scene so you, with the camera, can go through Paradise Alley. 🤓 The name "Dead Rabbits" as the gang's name is supposed to be accidentally named by a journalist. The journalist did a piece on the biggest gangs in New York at the time and asked around and found out that the biggest was "The Dead Ráibéad" (The name basically means someone you really don't wanna mess with). But, because the gang were mostly Irish the journalist thought they said "The Dead Rabbits" but with a heavy old Irish accent. The people of New York and the gangs wondered at first who "The Dead Rabbits" were when they read the newspaper. But I guess they figured it out and liked the name and kept it. 🤓

Herbert Asbury’s book The gangs of New York is quite a study of nineteenth century NYC but it does read like a history book. As the film is a mash-up of real and embellished events, the depiction of the period is delicious. The scene at 27:25 is an actual recreation of a Jacob Riis photo of a place near 59 Mulberry called Bandits Roost. IMO the day to day life in what was considered by some, the worst slum in the world, was is some ways worse than what was on the screen. It’s nice to see your enthusiasm for the film and the period.

The fire scene is based on the original firefighters of NY, which were the gangs. The original story was based on the fire gangs. In those days, no one wanted to be a firefighter due to the high death rate. The gangs extorted protection and fought over districts. The Irish were pushed into these gangs as the only work they could get. In those days everyone hated the Irish. Businesses would write NINA (No Irish Need Apply) on their doors so the Irish wouldn't come in. Eventually, people started naming thier kids Nina so the irish knew not to bother. This is why the fire service has an Irish history with bag pipes and traditions.

Nice. I think I recommended this as a last ditch attempt to enjoy a Scorsese film. DDL killed this role. He assumes such a commanding presence as Bill that I feel tense every time he's on screen. "He spared me because he wanted me to live in shame. This was a great man." Such a complicated moral code. A protagonist who values honor and discipline.

Like you, I did a lot of research on New York in this era. You'll find it very historically accurate. Also, a great, great movie.

If you ever get back to New York to see where these events took place, most of 5 Points is completely different. 5 Points at Canal Street & Bowery now is the foot of the Manhattan Bridge, the neighbourhood is Manhattan's Chinatown right next to Manhattan's Little Italy (not to be confused with the real Little Italy in The Bronx). The big gang fight at the end, in reality took place at Columbus Park between Worth & Bayard Streets and the draft riots mainly took place where Walker Street intersects Canal Street. The draft riots took place in 1865, Bill the Butcher died in 1855 before any of this movie was supposed to have taken place.

The graveyard at the end was in Brooklyn, it was a real Methodist Church graveyard but was moved to the Green-Wood Cemetery, it's now John Street Park at the end of Pearl Street in DUMBO, seriously, that's the name of the neighbourhood, it means Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass.

DANTE FERETTI..one of the greatest setmakers of all time. Sandy Powell one of the greatest costume makers ever.

There were definitely problems with historical accuracy but the sets in particular were praised for their accuracy - that was what NYC looked like during that time period.
