"Poor Streets" is a movie by Scorsese describing how he grew up on the streets of Manhattan, New York, "New York New York" is New York in the Great Depression after World War II, "After Work" is a surreal New York, and "Taxi Driver" and " "Shuttle between Yin and Yang" is New York in the heart of the lonely man Paul Schrader. He is trying to create a superman who makes a difference in these two films but is struggling in the lower society.
The "New York Gangs" between "Good Guys" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" may be Scorsese's New York. He tried to put the original novel of this movie on the big screen in 1978, but he never succeeded. , This film is also the most difficult, legendary and imaginative film in his film career.
The film is similar to the era background of "The Age of Innocence", and it is still the same actor Daniel Day Lewis, but "New York Gangs" does not have the gentlemen and ladies dressed in costumes of "The Age of Innocence", but a bloodthirsty beast on the street. The wound is Their reputation and blood is their clothes. This is how this film shows the magic of street brutality. The wild and wild lens language has made Daniel Day Lewis and Leonardo change the tenderness of the niche, Scorsese. In this way, it is very rare to raise the so-called wild history of the mob to the level of epic mythology.
The story of the film is actually quite cliché, a simple revenge story, but Scorsese let this movie start from revenge, using this barbaric beauty to portray New York born under the anger of anger, but also mixed with the American dream. The birth of, the Civil War, President Lincoln, and racial issues are also rare mentions of national colors in his films. The ending design is also a must-do. Several majestic symphonies merge the scenes of New York and Manhattan from the past. Only the American society at that time could have such vigorous vitality.
