Shooting

The story of "Gangs of New York" originated in New York in 1846. This is a city full of violenceand fighting, and fighting and bloodshed happen every day. In order to fight for control ofthe "fifth point" of the slum area, the "natives" born in New York and the "deadrabbits" formed by Irish immigrants clashed. During the battle, the leader of the "Dead Rabbit Gang" Priest Warren was killed by the leader of the Native Gang "Butcher" Bill, and the Native Gang completely occupied the "Fifth Point".

And 17 years later, in 1863, Pastor Warren's

son Amsterdam Warren returned to New York, wanting to avenge his father. But 1863 was theperiod when the American Civil War broke out.The implementation of Lincoln's conscription law in New York caused the worst riots in American history. The right to flee war stifles the choice of the poor. The conflict between the rich and the poor,the artillery fire of the Civil War and the tense race relations constitute the background of the movie "Gangs of New York". Of course, this is also the most criticized place after the movie was released.

The success of Martin Scorsese lies in

his restoration of a real 19th century, a new york full of contradictions and blood.He is full of ambitions to show his full feelings for that era,but it is obviously impossible to combine so many complicated histories in just three hours, not to mention that the first half of the movie has to focus on depicting the conflict between Amsterdam and Bill .If revenge is the main theme, and the background of the times is integrated into it, and the film is shot in a way of seeing the big from the small, Martin will be able to control it easily; if it focuses on showing the times, the times have changed the fate of the characters, which is also a good idea.However, Martin's two lines go hand in hand, which makes the main line of the movie messy. But no matter what, Martin Scorsese is a great director, and his influence in gangster films is unmatched. "Gangs of New York" is also a masterpiece comparable to epic.

Daniel Day Lewis plays the "butcher" Bill in the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Amsterdam, the son of the "priest", and Amy plays the thief Jenny in the movie. There is an emotional entanglement.

On the first day of filming, Leonardo and Amy had no scenes. The two of them simply sat on the chairs by the studio and watched the fight between the "Native Gang" and the "Dead Rabbit Gang". It is worth mentioning that Liam Neeson,who played the role of the priest in the film "Schindler's List",is also a veteran actor.

In the dark cave,the sound of iron and drums and the clamor of the Irish came and went.

Pastor Warren put the badge of St.Michele around the neck of Little Amsterdam actor Sean McCormack,and then he led the members of the "Dead Rabbit Gang" into the snow to face the "Native help".

Amy kept his eyes on the set. Liam Neeson's acting skills are of course

beyond doubt, but his appearances in the entire movie are too few,so Amy's full attention is still on Daniel Day-Lewis.

Daniel plays his role so well that its impossible for one to distinguish wether one is acting or is a real person. Amy's totally amazed by him. She has worked in theater for ten years and Daniel is one of the few movie actors who are celebrated so such in even the theaters.

"Did you see his accent?"

Amy couldn't help asking Leonardo beside her, but Leo seems to be not paying attention to her and his mind seems to somewhere. He realized after a while that Amy was calling him. "What"

"I mean his accent."

Leonardo looked on the set and saw Daniel acting his scenes. He answered: "Martin wants to create old New York. So Daniel maybe wants to act on his accent."

Amy didn't pay much attention to the angry swollen kid beside her. It seems that reporters have harassed him a lot. Although she likes Leonardo a lot, but Amy won't accept anyone's such attitude. She just looked at Daniel on the set excited: "He's so amazing."

Daniel on the set was performing. Martin assembled more than 100 extras for a scene. He has tried to create every scene as perfect as possible. Amy saw with her owns eyes countless people fighting, throwing axes, blood spilling and people dying. The visuals of the movie happened before her own eyes.

Admist the crew working, Amy went back to the hotel to take a shower and rest. "Gangs of New York" is a men's show, so her scenes should start after 3-4 days.

Martin and Daniel came to the resting seats and saw a grumpy Leonardo sitting on the chairs. Martin couldn't help sigh. Leo has been harassed a lot recently by the paparazzi's and his mood has been a lot low after the failure of his two films "Man in a iron mask" and "Beach". Although he understood the reason to some extent, he still asked: "What's with you Leo. You have been acting as a kid since the morning you came to set."

But it seems that sunshine boy was still immersed in his sadness and didn't reply. Martin was a little angry at such a childish behaviour, but then chose to be patient and adviced: "I know you are angry because of reporters, but its their job and they will always do this. There's no need to be worried about such a thing."

Leonardo who was quiet raised his head and looked at Martin and signaled toward Daniel sitting beside him. He spoke: "Do I look less handsome than him?"

Both Daniel and Martin were surprised by the question. Martin said: "Now what's with this question and what does it has to do with your mood?"

"Just answer. It does have something to do."

Martin looked a little apologetically at Daniel and answered: "Of course, you are more handsome. After all, you are the Jack who makes everyone crazy."

Leonardo was satisfied hearing his praise but then asked in a little aggrieved tone: "Then why does the girls ignore me?"

"Who agnored you?" Both Martin and Daniel were curious. Leonardo DiCaprio's appeal to women is something the whole hollywood talks about. And now there is someone ignoring him.

Leonardo replied: "Its Amy Collins. Not only she's ignoring me, but also looking at Daniel fanatically like a little fan girl. Can you imagine the first words she said to me after the greeting at beginning were praise of Daniel."

Both Martin and Daniel were caught off guard and didn't know what to say. Daniel was totally surprised and didn't know what to say. Leo is the favourite of women especially teenage girls, and now a girl was not only not showing interest in him, but instead looking at Daniel day Lewis who's known more for his acting.

Amy who was in hotel room chatting happily with her boyfriend didn't know that she had been misunderstood. If she knew the misunderstanding, then she will deny it completely. Who said she doesn't like Leo, she of course appreciate the beauty of Jack. She was paying so much attention to Daniel was only because she was mesmerized by his acting.
