gang of new york quickly become one of my favorite movie of all time . i can not think of another film like in recent memory . and the acting in this movie be unreal . dicaprio be great and this be the role that change his image from pretty boy to badass . that be say and do not forget about day lewis . he fantastic . i know and he always fantastic and but not like this . his character and the butcher and should go down as one of the best villain in cinema history . but enough about the acting and how about the directing . masterful . scorsese be a genius . he take his movie above and beyond what others be capable of . he truly in a league of his own . the mechanic of this movie be amaze . the set and the dialog and the costume and the camera angle and the sound and the music . all be flawless . the last shot in the movie ( the one of the cemetery along the river with new york in the background ) be easily one of the cool scene of all time and of any movie . it incredible . i have no idea why this movie be not in the imdb top 250 and i think it deserve to be in the top 50. if you haven not see this movie and you enjoy watch movie whatsoever and go watch this movie . it incredible .
