Product Description
Product Description
In New York 1846, two gangs went to war for the and a young boy witnessed the death of his father. Sixteen years later, the young boy returns as a man to avenge his father's death.
Set Contains:
The plethora of extras on this two-disc set are worth your time. There are several well-produced segments on the physical aspects of the film highlighted by a tour of the vast Cinecittà Studio sets with director Martin Scorsese and production designer Dante Ferretti (with a 360-degree-view feature to boot). Historian Luc Sante introduces you to the Five Corners area in New York circa the mid-19th century, and there's a vintage vocabulary guide (from the 1859 edition of The Rogue's Lexicon). Even though it was made as a "puff piece" for the movie, the Discovery Channel show "Uncovering the Real Gangs of New York" is an informative half-hour on the film's historical background. There's another espresso double-shot from a Scorsese commentary track. Not recorded traditionally as he watches the movie, the track pieces together thoughts from the director including some recorded in an NPR interview. This allows Scorsese to be even more focused, dealing with the history of the time and his own 30-year struggle to make the film. One serious demerit for stretching the feature film over both discs, which most likely had to be done with having both Dolby 5.1 and DTS tracks along with the commentary on the long film. --Doug Thomas

- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2011One of the first great movies of the new millenium, GANGS OF NEW YORK failed in its initial run to earn back a $97 million dollar cost.
Set in a violent NYC slum called Five Points, the story centers on young Amsterdam Vallon. When Amsterdam was a small child, his father, 'Priest' Vallon, leader of the Dead Rabbits gang, was slain in a vicious street battle by the Native Americans' boss, Bill (the Butcher) Cutting.
The parentless boy is sent by his father's killer to an orphanage some miles away. When finally of age, he returns to the Points to learn that Irish immigrants still clash for control of their run-down neighborhood with the Butcher's forces. Young Vallon has sworn to avenge his father's death, but first he becomes Bill's protégé. His later failed attempt on the Butcher's life leaves Amsterdam alive, scarred and temporarily humiliated. After recovering from his wounds however, Vallon, as leader of the revived Dead Rabbits, challenges Bill and his minions to a formal rowdy-dow.
Meanwhile, widespread riots and the lynching of innocent blacks occur when necessities of the Civil War impose America's first conscription act on those too poor to pay $300 for a military service waiver. The Army is called in and chaos reigns, even as Bill's Natives and Amsterdam's Irish meet in a grand street war to determine the future of their horrid tenement neighborhood.
With an attention to detail that few motion pictures have every approached, director Martin Scorsese's superb modern masterpiece is equally brilliant in every other respect.
Parenthetical number preceding title is a 1 to 10 imdb viewer poll rating.
(7.4) Gangs of New York (USA/Italy-2002) - Leonardo DiCaprio/Daniel Day-Lewis/Cameron Diaz/Jim Broadbent/John C. Reilly/Henry Thomas/Liam Neeson/Brendan Gleeson/David Hemmings (uncredited: Martin Scorsese)
- Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2016This remastered edition corrects the image quality issues of the previous edition which had heavy handed use of DNR (digital noise reduction)often eliminating the grain and detail at the same time. Colors pop and detail is remarkably sharp throughout. Audio sounds terrific as well although the previous edition sounded quite good as well. Aside from some minor ringing (particularly when characters are against a white background--doesn't happen too often in this movie though), the presentation looks terrific.
We get all the previous special features from the previous edition as well including Martin Scorsese's informed and entertaining commentary track. The special features are still in standard definnition but that's a minor issue--I'm just happy that Touchstone/Disney/Miramax was willing to go back and correct the error with the original mastering.
You can tell the remastered vs. the previous edition because the cover picture with the main actors is smaller and bordered by black. The Blu-ray holders also have a sticker on the cover indicating its been remastered.
For those interested in the plot--Set in New York in 1846 (during the height of the draft for the Civil War which contributed to a massive violent revolt by the poor which plays a part in the film as well), Leonardo Dicaprio plays Amsterdam Vallon who returns to lower Manhattan seeking revenge against Bill "the Butcher" (Daniel Day Lewis)who killed his father in a confrontation between their respective gangs. To kill Bill Vallon must become close to Bill and infiltrate his gang earning his trust in the process but Vallon finds that his vendetta against Bill gets lost in a much larger conflict between the various gangs of New York to run the city.Amsterdam feels conflicted particularly when Bill takes him under his wing and gains a grudging respect for him despite his brutality. Daniel Day Lewis gives a superb performance as Bill and although Dicaprio's accent varies quite a bit his emotionally complex, conflicted performance adds to the drama as well. When I first saw the film I was surprised at just how good Cameron Diaz could be as an actress as well.
A well made flawed film, "Gangs of New York" manages to be involving and director Martin Scorsese crates a vivid recreation of New York before the turn of the century with detailed recreations of teh hovels and mud strewn streets, The film suffers because of a shortened running time (and it runs around 2 hours and 40 minutes but could have easily run an additional 20-30 minutes giving us more background on the conflict between Vallon's father who led the Dead Rabbits and Bill. Then again the action would have taken longer to get to and our main story focusing on the conflict between Vallon and Bill would have taken quite a bit longer to start as well.
Even Scorsese's flawed films are stronger than most other directors great films and the ambition of "Gangs of New York" is welcome even if the film can't deliver on all of Scorsese's points. Recommended.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2009I do not mean to offend Mr. Vincent and his review. However, does he not understand that this movie is a FACTUAL movie. This is not a movie with "a trite boring plot" with the same old revenge stuff we always see about New York. This was the REAL New York. How do I know this? I am Irish for one thing. I am VERY proud to be Irish for another thing. I researched and found amazing details about these two gangs and how they were basically the first gangs in America. The Dead Rabbits was an actual true to life gang. There is an Irish tribute band for the Pogues called "The Dead Rabbits". I also found a terrific image that I have saved that says "The Dead Rabbits" on it, with a square in green around it and a couple of shamrocks around it. I am having it put on a T shirt for myself. Interesting, because I am a 42 year old woman who will soon be teaching. As I said before I am proud to be Irish. Watch it again, this time wrap your mind around the real "reality" of it, then come back and lets see what your review is this time. By the way I do agree with most everyone about Cameron Diaz. I usually just forget she is even in the movie until someone brings it up.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024ABSOLUTE CINEMA FROM THE ABSOLUTE CINEMA MAN HIMSELF! beautiful movie reconstructing the XIX century New York, the inequity and misery , and of course the gangs of NY, not a ton of extras features but interesting how they reconstructed old good NY
