Daniel Day-Lewis is the GOAT.
Yes he is.
True... Very True
💯
Yes.
Overrated actor
To see more of Daniel day lewis, "there will be blood" (2007) is a good recommandation to watch
I absolutely loved that she recognized Liam Neeson as Schindler and not his many other characters from his other films.
This film is based on a book by Herbert Asbury with the same title published in 1927. Although the events were fictional expert the Draft Riots some of the characters and names of the gangs are listed in the book
This is a favorite movie, and favorite Daniel Day Lewis role, he plays such a good villain. Alot of the historical parts of the story were exaggerated for the story. Some of the characters like William Poole (Bill the Butcher) gangs and that kind of violence were based on real events and people but not to this extent.
YES!!! Omg this is one of my faaaaaavorite movies ever made! Everyone's acting was superb, and the history behind the story is so interesting. The Dead Rabbits were one of the many real-life gangs depicted in this movie. While the American West was busy being wild and panning for gold, the South was brewing a war, and the East had their own lawless wasteland then known as The Five Points, which has evolved into modern day Lower Manhattan, NY. I'm a huge history nerd, so this is such a treat.🤓
Please consider watching Memoirs of a Geisha, I know you'll all enjoy the hell out of it.
Lincoln was brewing the war but whatever...
The only exception to the great acting was Cameron Diaz's accent (she was still good, though!)
Hellcat Maggie has a pretty decent Irish style whiskey named after her. She actually did file her teeth down to points and use ears and fingers to pay for her cups of grog at saloons. Crazy times.
That was Martin Scorcese doing a cameo as the wealthy head-of-household where Cameron Diaz was working the turtledove scam 🤩
The interesting part about Boss Tweed is that he was later brought down, charged and sentenced to prison largely because of a newspaper cartoonist named Thomas Nast.
Nominated for 11 Oscars including Best Picture but did not win any.
Daniel Day Lewis retired from acting in 2017.
Re retired he came out for this film, we got some great performances in the second leg
Daniel Day Lewis knocks it out of the park with this role. So good.
Great movie
He does with every movie he is in. He is the GOAT.
My man DDL actually had a glass top on for months. Imagine waking up and having Bill the Butcher cooking you eggs. Awkward.
There are real aspects to this film. Certain figures such as Bill Cutting were real. The draft riots were very real and a major occurrence during the civil war. The gangs and the five points were also real. Part of the neighborhood exists where the civic center is now and the other part is now Chinatown.
Went there recently. Just hard to believe how crazy things were back then, and skyscrapers towering over such past history.
This was America in New York at that time
10:00 What is happening here is a popular game from the 18th-19th century. They would release two terriers (which are bred for killing rats and other vermin) into a ring full of rats and bet on which one would kill more rats in a certain amount of time, usually about a minute or two.
One of the best movies ever! So well made, and the acting is impeccible on every front. Also the dichotomy that the protagonist faces with the Butcher, who truly grows to love him as a son.
Rat Bating use to be a thing, and Terrier dogs were the most popular breed for doing that. but theres a specific breed called the “Rat Terrier” who was selectively bred to fight against Rats like that. also similarly, Bull Bating is where we got “Bulldogs” from. in those scenarios it would be multiple dogs against one bull.
Hmm you sound like a master baiter bro.
In the history of N.Y there was a tavern where if you acted up they would cut off your ear,and keep it in a jar.
If anyone can find the book Bloodletters and Badmen.History of criminals in America, 1600,s to 1900,s.
Definitely historically accurate! Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the best actors. Look up some of his movies. Ie Last of the Mohicans
Not what I’ve heard
@@oobrocks Not the story. The environment
Slightly accurate. Bill the butcher was a real person but not as shown in the movie.
This was a very good movie back in the 2000s my dad took me to see this when it first came out this was my dad's favorite movie 💯🙏
Still a great movie now LOL
Other great Daniel Day Lewis movies based on American history: "Last of the Mohicans", "Lincoln", and "The Crucible".
There Will Be Blood
Much of the movie is based on real people and real things that happened, but the particulars are probably not true. There was a Bill the Butcher. Five points existed in Manhatten, it was a haven for many Irish immigrants that came during the famine in Ireland. There were many gangs there as the movie portrays and the riots did indeed happen over forced conscription to the union army during the American Civil War.
And the Civil War was a huge turning point in American history as nothing would be the same afterwards. Veterans would go west, the untamed plains and mountains would disappear, railways and factories would rise out of the ashes, industrialization would flourish and places like New York, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Chicago would rise from general locals to giant industrial titans of the late 19th century.
Just so you guys know, the "friend" Johnny who Leo first talks to is the same actor who played the little boy in E.T., although after a quick Google search, I don't think you guys have seen that yet actually!
dudeee!!! these 4 on all his shit! ET, A.I and id personally love flight of the navigator as well :P hahhaah viki would love that movie
This was not a true story in the depiction of a priest Vallon and revenge by his son. However all the other depictions were true in that there was a man named Butcher Bill, gangs called Dead Rabbits, Bowery Boys, Plug Uglies, and there was a draft riot at that time.
Five-points was a real neighborhood/slum, the frequent street battles were true as were many of the characters and gangs (ie: Bill the Butcher, William Tweed, Hell-Cat Maggie, Bowery Boys, Dead Rabbits, etc. - were all real)
One of the last great films ever made, Scorsese wanted to make this film for many many years, it was his favorite book as a kid. Also this film is the one of the very very few films that ever mentions the Draft Riots that happen in the northern cities during the civil war. Baltimore as well as Detroit had them too, and they actually started in the Irish communities in the Pennsylvania mines
200K! congrats Homies!! 🏆
17:00 "Hanging is super cringe."
Yeah, imagine too, you get decapitated by the guillotine front of a exited public during the french revolutionary event. Often, an hanging is a sweet death in caparison of the decapitation because the neck break instantly... 💀💀💀
My favourite movie. I visited the set in Cinecittà in Rome, watched the premiere and watched it so many time. I even liked Cameron Diaz here! And the music, sounds and historical style. Wonderful movie. Great reaction
Yes, you watched one of the greatest movies ever made, for the next movie reaction I suggest you watch the Warriors 1979 movie it’s very classy and does take place in NYC
If you think this is one of the greatest movies ever made I suggest you watch more movies.
Bill the Butcher was killed in a bar fight.
Legend Daniel Day Lewis
omg These girls are gonna have some pained looks, and right away ELLE says "particuliarly painful" HAHAH- THAT about sums up a lot of the violence
Yes it's based on a true story! The 5 points in new York City in the 19th century. The dead rabbits were a real Irish gang in nyc
You should check out ‘Once upon A Time in America’ by Sergio Leone. Fantastic film set in New York in several eras with great music.
17:38 "To be hanged - broken society." Well, the last one to be broken on the wheel was in 1841 in Prussia.
Daniel Day Lewis is so overlooked!!
He's pretty much always a contender for 'greatest actor of all time', so it's a little hard to call him overlooked 😆
Ladies. Yet another wonderful reaction from you. & to a favorite movie that never bores me no matter how many times I've seen it; that too few of my favorite reactors have reacted to, & that I was wondering if you guys would ever get to.
I'm pleased you enjoyed it & thought it worth your while.
Many of the main characters are fictional. Some though like "Bill the Butcher" are based on actual people that lived in that era, & interacting with historical characters like William Tweed (the man lamenting about "burying a lot of votes.")
Even though some of the character's actions are exaggerated for the sake of the story, the story is set against actual historical events like the draft riots at the movie's climax. & many of the street gangs featured in the movie did exist & ran through NYC in that time.
Yes Daniel Day-Lewis is a beast of an actor & he completely crushed this role. It's a shame he's retired from acting.
One of my favorites movie
Lincoln is one of my favorite movies with Daniel Day Lewis. This movie was great
Between 1800 and 1910, density in urban Manhattan tripled from 200 to 600 people per hectare. Neighborhoods like Chinatown, the Lower East Side, and the East Village were significantly denser than the average, approaching 1,600 people per hectare. During the same time, floor area per person declined from 800 square feet per person to 270, with inhabitants of the Lower East Side averaging just 100 square feet per person.
It was not uncommon for multi-generational families to squeeze into three-room apartments with no running water and windows only at one end. On top of this, these apartments often doubled as shops or factory space, with residents making clothes or preparing food to sell. Jacob Riis, a photographer and author of the groundbreaking How the Other Half Lives, led the charge to reform housing conditions by exposing the squalor of the Lower East Side. Under legislation beginning with the Tenement House Act of 1901, New York builders had to give up precious floor area to make way for vertical light and air shafts and to run water and sewage systems to every dwelling unit. Rooms and apartments were eventually given minimum size requirements - regulations that are now being reexamined in response to the shifting demands of contemporary household demographics, dwindling land to build upon, and rising costs.
One of the most underrated Martin Scorsese movies
The graveyard is fictional, but they chose that spot because it overlooks Lower Manhattan which is where NYC was first founded and which also has had a dramatic change in architecture over the centuries.
I lived three years in NYC and it hasn't changed that much. Mind you, my favourite Chinese resto was right there in the Bowery at the corner of Bayard.
The poster is Uncle Sam.
First time I watched this movie wasn't expecting it to be that good masterpiece especially the ending the little Easter egg how time flies and how time changes everything around us Leonardo DiCaprio did a phenomenal job in this movie Daniel Day-Lewis scariest effort ever ever scariest m*********** ever
Thanks for bringing this movie back to my attention. I remember seeing this as a kid.
The guy from the “I want you!” Poster is Uncle Sam. Also the nickname of U.S. President and Army General Ulysses S. Grant
The New York City draft riots (July 13-16, 1863), sometimes referred to as the Manhattan draft riots and known at the time as Draft Week,[3] were violent disturbances in Lower Manhattan, widely regarded as the culmination of white working-class discontent with new laws passed by Congress that year to draft men to fight in the ongoing American Civil War. The riots remain the largest civil and most racially charged urban disturbance in American history.[4] According to Toby Joyce, the riot represented a "civil war" inside the Irish community, in that "mostly Irish American rioters confronted police, [while] soldiers, and pro-war politicians ... were also to a considerable extent from the local Irish immigrant community."[5]
President Abraham Lincoln diverted several regiments of militia and volunteer troops after the Battle of Gettysburg to control the city. The rioters were overwhelmingly Irish working-class men who did not want to fight in the Civil War and resented that wealthier men, who could afford to pay a $300 (equivalent to $6,600 in 2021[6] though a typical laborer's wage was between $1.00 and $2.00 a day in 1863[7][8]) commutation fee to hire a substitute, were spared from the draft.[9][10]
Initially intended to express anger at the draft, the protests turned into a race riot, with white rioters attacking black people, in violence throughout the city. The official death toll was listed at either 119 or 120 individuals. Conditions in the city were such that Major General John E. Wool, commander of the Department of the East, said on July 16 that "Martial law ought to be proclaimed, but I have not a sufficient force to enforce it."[11]
The military did not reach the city until the second day of rioting, by which time the mobs had ransacked or destroyed numerous public buildings, two Protestant churches, the homes of various abolitionists or sympathizers, many black homes, and the Colored Orphan Asylum at 44th Street and Fifth Avenue, which was burned to the ground.[12] The area's demographics changed as a result of the riot. Many black residents left Manhattan permanently with many moving to Brooklyn. By 1865, the black population had fallen below 11,000 for the first time since 1820.[12]
I'm always cracked up by John C. Reilly being in Gangs of New York.
Why?
J.C.R. is a great serious actor in addition to being a great comedic actor
@@ericsierra-franco7802 He's very underrated in my book and has such a broad range as an actor.
The area is called Times Square today.
An 1800's "timepiece" was basically their version of an iPhone.
I read a book about the 5 points in NYC, and saw the movie, much of the movie is true..
Daniel Day Lewis is a monster acting !
Greatest actor of all time-DDL
Really, ending to this movie is incredibly epic

10:40 understatement 🙂
Lol oh my, so Ellie and Ms Moon Sugar are too shy to show their reaction to leos scard up bare chest. Ooohhh Leo hahaha
Many of these people were real.
It is funny that 100 or so years later this place is regarded as the financial capital of the world and we are now watching equally delightful characters like the guys out of the Wolf of Wall Street running around, keeping the spirit alive. Meanwhile the Canadians were getting on rather amicably in a more trying climate under British rule, with French neighbours they were previously fighting against, in relative peace, as was Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Rhodesia etc.
Its based on a true story such as Bill the Butcher was an actual historic figure.
One of the best Movies with de Caprio.
You calling me a chiseler?
The three hundred dollars to get out of the war is about eleven thousand american dollars today
the ships did not fire at the people on land
They were real gangs.
One of my top-5 favorites of all-time!
DDL is such a legend
You gotta watch A BRONX TALE if you haven't yet. It's a gem.
this movie is on my top 10 favorite movies of all time. number #10
Great movie, A jig doing a jig. Never look away,we all have to die might as well face death looking it right in the eyes. No Fear. The graveyard is potters field a island where the poor and unidentified are buried. Just a movie. Some facts but mostly fiction. Want an 80's gang movie watch Colors. It's based on the gang wars in Los Angeles in the late 70's and early 80's. It the bloods vs crips vs pee wees.

Watch Master and Commander 2003 with Russel Crowe please
I am amazed by how few have reacted to "Master and Commander The Far Side of The World" it is one of those that I can watch repeatedly and not get bored.
@@t.dig.2040 it's really odd
Its about time somebody reacted
I recommend you see the Iron Giant, one of the best movies of my childhood 👌👌👌
According to etticket you are not supposed to kiss lady on the hand, only move your face to the proximity od the hand.
What a lovely movie 🎥 😊. So good to be true, good reaction girls ❤
Speed (1994)
The movie is certainly based on real history but it takes many liberties with the true facts. The ships firing on NYC to quell the riots never happened.
2:10- it's who? Now wait a minute now.
You should watch “bill the butcher tribute” after watching this. Goddamn
6:10
Just when u think Michelle couldn't get any more awesome, she puts on a cool hat 🔥👍🏿👍🏿
Klaus of New York

Daniel Day Lewis! Great actor. Have you watched "The Last of the Mohicans"?
10:57 ''You gotta pay for the pleasure of my company''
Just described every single woman in The Homies.
