All civilizations have a tragic and unforgettable past

The film directed at Daniel Lewis, indeed, his superb acting skills overshadowed Leonardo and Cameron, and played a brutal but flesh-and-blood gang boss.
If the film ends at an hour and a half, it's just a gangster version of a clichéd Prince's Revengeance, but the next hour elevates it. Let us see Leonardo's forbearance, the sadness of small figures in the torrent of history, and the unbearable past before American liberal democracy.
There is an unknown side behind all halos. All successes are preceded by hard and difficult failures. Human beings are like this, moving forward in constant killing and peaceful alternation. The civilization of a region, a country, and even the entire human race needs to pay a heavy price. The same is true of the United States, a country that claims to be liberal and democratic. There are more interferences in the internal affairs of other countries and accusations of previous attitudes. Sometimes I really feel that it is fifty steps to laugh at a hundred steps. In Western terms, is it similar to past-style ridicule? Time? hehe~~

    Seeing half of it suddenly: Oh, this one-eyed is not DDL, right? A check is really good, so powerful. This character is hateful and hateful, but it is more eye-catching than Warren. It is a pity that Xiao Li's light is completely blocked when he meets such an opponent. It’s been too long in real time, I have forgotten why I wanted to watch this film in the first place, because it’s really not my preference...but it’s a bit interesting. Bill the Butcher is full of patriotism, but actually does what kind of dirty and bloody work he does. This is actually the usual image of a villain, but it has a different feeling when viewed at the moment. Diaz is so beautiful!

    The stories that took place in the ten years before the American Civil War were taken from the perspective of gangsters as the main line, accompanied by religious beliefs, racial politics and other aspects, restoring the history of the United States at that stage. And the seemingly notorious "local gangs" actually have strong patriotic feelings to a certain extent. They dislike the influx of foreigners, largely because of a sense of protection for the country. This...is it a bit of a Beijinger's shadow~
