Gangs Of New York Movie Analysis

Improved Essays
Gangs of New York is a movie in the entertainment industry. However, as a historical tool, it is exaggerated. The reconstruction of the Paradise Square and the wooden neighborhood that was overcrowded and the cave like basements enables us to view and experience how living in the past felt. The film also has a performance by Daniel Day-Lewis, who maintains a New York accent throughout the movie. The accent does not exist anymore, and it is anachronistic. New York reached its full development after four decades after the events of the movie (Scorsese, 2002).
As the film begins, there is an American leader who is half American and half Irish, and he goes by the name Priest Vallon. As he prepares for battle, he looks like he is preparing for Mass. This is because of how he puts a collar around his neck. Priest has a young son who is called Amsterdam who trails behind his father as they pass through the labyrinth to fight a rival American born gang known by the name, Nativists (Asbury, 2001).

Bill is a professional knife artist and he at one time terrifies Jenny during a knife-throwing sport. He misses narrowly to kill her. Jenny is a very independent young woman. As a pickpocket, she ranks very high in the hierarchy of other criminals. However, when she meets Amsterdam and falls in love with him, she becomes loyal and tender. At one point, she had to nurse Amsterdam whose health was failing (Scorsese,

    As stated before, gangs plagued New York City for a long time. It became less and less safe to walk the streets as “ a well-dressed man venturing into the district was commonly set upon and murdered or robbed, or both, before he had gone a block.” (Span, 110) Having this much power had a huge influence on city life. One case is the Bowery Boys, who had an influence on politics by intimidating voters so “the gang’s home district would receive money and preferential treatment once the politician was in office.” (Andrews, 1)…

    Released in 1955, To Catch a Thief was one of three films director Alfred Hitchcock produced within an eighteenth month period and was the result of a collaboration with rising screenwriter John Michael Hayes, whom he had previously worked with on Rear Window. Quickly written and produced, the film is about retired cat-burglar John Robie, who after being framed for a ring of jewel thefts in the French Riviera, seeks to find the real culprit, while evading the police and the romantic advances of Francie Stevens, the daughter of a potential, wealthy theft victim. In its dramatic structure, Hayes’ screenplay emphasizes the dual nature of the story–as Robie seeks to “catch” the real thief in spite of receiving written threats not to, he must also evade Francie–who seeks to “catch” a romantic partner in Robie and can report him to the police.
