I read all of the above comments, and I am agree with them. To me, the movie review is itself a thriller while the movie fails to preserve and protect the glorious past. The movie does not focus on all of the real issues; however ,the movie review clarifies many important issues. The reason behind creation of gangs were to survive and preserve their own races from growing political discrimination and competition, and from the unsustained economy; But, “hollywood” mostly represents only the competitions (blood and violences) between gangs. There was a sentence in the movie review that “historian can compete the work”. And i think the writer already did it; Reading the review i knew many gangs’ namse: The roach Guards, Chichesters, kerryonians, Shirt Trails, Daybreak Boys, true blood American; and how their clothing and languages were; they had different accent regarding their Gangs. And I acknowledged the importance of the five points by his narrative description.

I think “Gang’s of New York” educating as well as entertaining film. It is not historical documentary but used some of the true events. The film tells us about historical changes from particular era. The Irish immigrants made their gang in five points and fought with natives. The only purpose was to survive and to live with honor. Although there is revenge plot and violence but after reading reviews I think we can see how much New York has change in one and half Century. The plot looks familiar the way Amsterdam involved in native dealings to come closer to his enemy Bill. Overall I think it’s worthy of watching this movie.
