Pete and Thomas777 Watch and Comment on Martin Scorsese's 'Gangs of New York' (2002)

Pete and Thomas777 continue their series in which they watch a movie in its entirety and comment on its cultural significance.

The twelfth movie they watch and talk about is "Gangs of New York," a 2002 epic starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio and Cameron Diaz. Set in the year 1863, this narrative explores the heightened tensions between Protestant and Catholic communities, exacerbated by the significant influx of Irish immigrants into the country. As rival gangs compete for territorial dominance, the overarching context of the American Civil War serves as a backdrop, gradually becoming more prominent as the story unfolds.
