Last night, I watched this Netflix movie, Gangs of New York. I am not sure if there is a historical basis for producing this movie or if this is mainly fictional. Nevertheless, the dominant theme is politics, where those who rule are willing to sacrifice the lives of many to maintain power.

This movie is awesome i watched a long time ago!! I think it is based in areal story .. i need to re-watch though. Anyways, all human history you have this type of fight power , it isn’t new and it will continue for sure in the future.
If the movie has a historical basis, that's a huge gap between the New York of today and the New York of the past. Most people see only the New York of today, not knowing the countless lives that have been sacrificed for NY to evolve to its current status.
Yeah it is a city of immigrants, and that period that the movie brings is one period of big immigration… i think mostly irish are brought in the movie…
Yeah, the main character is Irish.
