I just got back from this movie. Wow, this movie was right up my ally! I loved it! It had an interesting message, and the music and the coreography was excellent. Wonderful So what did everyone here think about it? I was amazed to find out that all of the main actors did their own singing and dancing routines I wish I could have seen the origional play, but it never came close to where I live sadly. I am glad they brought it to the big screen Yay! |

"i'm gonna whack my old man/right up his alley! UGH! you like that, dont cha?" taken from cassetteboy's "JOliver" track. totally irrelevant of course. :) |

Thank you Phresh for that wonderful insight. The camera work in this film was just awesome, the use of contrast, wow, really cool stuff! |

I saw the movie yesterday, I like it a lot... any more opinions? |
||||||||
|

|
|
Second best movie I've seen so far this year :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and the first? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparently no one here has seen gangs of new york |
||||||||
|
|

Solaris. |
||||||||
|
|

|

I have. |
||||||||
|

|
|
I va seen gangs of new york why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you thought solaris was better than gangs of new york? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I thought gangs of new york was just ok... I was really dissapointed... I didnt find a solid argument, the love story was totally unbelievable and it really happens nothing in the 3 hours... it was not bad cos there were lots of great things too, but due to what I said I just find it ok |
||||||||
|
|

I hate Renne Z. so that kinda put a damper on things. Overall I'd say that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. |
||||||||

|
for me it was a bit strange to see richaerd geere singing and dancing but the song where he is a ventrilocuist is the best for me |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
we clearly have diametric tastes here.. gangs of new york strikes a personal chord with me on so many levels.. so it is a bit different for me.. I also didnt think there was anything that hard to believe about the love story.. and it really wasnt a prevalent theme in the plot.. and to say nothing happens at any point during the duration of the film is just rediculous |

to say nothing happens at any point during the duration of the film is just rediculous ********************************** ok it was only exageration. thinks I like: some individual actings (danney day leawis) the scenario: great clothing and ambient the social picture: how the movie describes a compilcated social situation with inmigrants and war (not very different from nowadays) is very good also the end: the way we see how the fight between the gangs finally is eclipsed by the overall social problem, how the revenge is in part all fucked up by this... it gives a very realistic aproach these are very good things of the movie. ----------------------------------------------- now, things I dont like: its just a revenge of a boy that saw how his father died in a fight... why does he hate day lewis?? I mean this bad man, really admires his father, and he only killed him in a fight, it was not some kind of betraition or something... I dont find the reason for such a hate, above all when leonardo sees how much danniel day lewis admires his father, and admires the way he died. so as it is only a revenge and >I dont find sense for that revenge I just cant enter the deepest feeling of the movie. the love story: I would believe a sexual or phisical attraction but love?? I cant see any reason of why those two young people fall inlove... at least the movie doesnt give us a clue... it looks more a sexual attraction and suddenly without being explained in the movie they love eeachother |

Are you serious?! If someone killed my dad in a fight I would hate the bastard! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, I would if he wasn't dead already :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well if my father went to a fight like that..its clear that he has many chances of being killed... it is not as if thos bad guys came to my house at night and raped my mother you know... its an open and declared fight... like a little war... you know what i mean... he wasnt murdered, he died in a "war" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd only think its a guy that killed my father in a fight that happens to me constantly |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
lol ok its clear nobody sees what I am trying to explain... hey maybe I am wrong or I am some kind of strnge person... |

it seems very close of chicago lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes very cabaretish fight |
||||||||
|
|

|

how can you watch gang of new york and chicago? like moulin rouge..where is the thrill in ? fewwww there are other countries on earth.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who said anything about any love between them? and even if they were in love.. why would you need clear/blatent clues to tell you so? and why should there be reasons for why it lead to love it if it were so? it was also a plot thickener.. it adds another conflict/motive for amsterdam if she is connected directly to daniel day lewis' character |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does anyone know which song is playing (that march-type song) when they're preparing for battle in the beginning and in the flashback scenes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was also a plot thickener.. it adds another conflict/motive for amsterdam if she is connected directly to daniel day lewis' character ******************************** exactly thats what bothers me... it seems that the love story is just there to make things more complex...its like a bit artificial in the whole role... only imo |

how can you watch gang of new york and chicago? like moulin rouge..where is the thrill in ? fewwww there are other countries on earth.. ********************************* of course there are great filmes apart from hollywood super productions (which tend to be really bad) but sometimes I need an easy story... with not much thinking in it... and in this cases these filmes work great... |

hmmm, musicals aren'tm really my thing... but chicago, well I've seen previews and it does look pretty good... seems like a real good story, and the music just enhances that, correct me if I'm wrong... that being instead of just like pure music for everything... I doubt I'll see it in theatres... probably rent it when it comes out on dvd... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's pretty much music all the way, far more so than in, say, Moulin Rouge. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes its lot of music... but I liked it more than in moulin rouge for sure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey but its very good I tell you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blah, well screw that... :) |
