Gangs of New York depicts the bloody gang wars taking place in New York in the 1860s. On one side are the natives of the city and on the other are the Irish Catholics who are both trying to find a place for themselves in New York, a city that went through a major transformation before the American Civil War. In the film, Daniel Day-Lewis portrays a Nativist gang leader named Bill the Butcher with virtuosity, next to Leonardo DiCaprio as Amsterdam, a young man who is bent on revenge for his father’s brutal murder.
