Gangs of New York

This is a movie i am have seen a number of times,not just because of a wonderful story,but because of the superb acting and wonderful narration.

The major roles are played by Learnardo Dicaprio,Daniel Day Lewis and Cameron Diaz and is directed by Martin Scorsese.

The story is not much complex.There are 2 gangs.One is led by a Priest of '5 Points',the native place in New York.While the other is led by a Gangster Bill Cutting also nicknamed 'The Butcher'.

In this story The Butcher(Daniel Day Lewis) challenges the Priest for a fight which eventually leads him to his death.The Priest's son,Amsterdam(Learnardo Dicaprio) is an eye witness to the fight and vows revenge but he is sent to a prison for 16 years.

When Amsterdam returns home to '5 Points',he joins the gang of the butcher,hell-bent on killing him.In his pursuit,he meets Miss Everdeane(Cameron Diaz) and falls in love.

His mission to

kill the butcher,fails because of a friend who also loved Everdeane.He reports Amsterdam's intension to the butcher.

Now Amsterdam forms a gang his father once led.With their support he is able to overcome the butcher.

Well not much of a story.But watching Daniel Day Lewis act is a fun.He is portrayed as a demigod and people's lives are worthless when it comes to his wellness.His costumes,acting,and voice modulation are a subtle show of a Superman-Batman kind of character who is all in all.If you see,you will want to replay and re-live his character rather than focusing on the story.
