Not because of the story that is being told but a film that was constructed to be massive and as over-the-top as possible. It&#8217;s certainly over-the-top, but it&#8217;s not very cohesive or enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Gangs of New York<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0attempts to tell the story of Amsterdam (Leonardo DiCaprio), who plots to avenge the death of his father, &#8220;Priest&#8221; Vallon. &#8220;Priest&#8221; was the leader of a gang of Irish immigrants called the Dead Rabbits, who ran afoul of Bill &#8220;The Butcher&#8221; Cutting&#8217;s gang of &#8220;Native&#8221; Americans in a turf war over control of an area of New York City called Five Points. I wish that was all the movie was about, but it also wants to be about the Civil War, injustice to immigrants, political corruption, and, oh, possibly a love story.<\/p>\n<p>The film meanders from telling the story of Amsterdam&#8217;s attempt at revenge to a love story involving Cameron Diaz&#8217; character. From there, it tries to make points about the poor being forced to fight in the Civil War, the North&#8217;s true feelings about slavery and, well, a lot of other stuff. My head ached trying to keep some sort of focus on what was happening and why I should even care about certain elements at all.<\/p>\n<p>The movie is certainly a treat to look at and it&#8217;s obvious that a lot of time and effort went into the construction of a reasonable facsimile of 19th Century New York, but the inane plot and unfocused nature of the story (or stories, actually) being told make viewing this film more of an endurance exercise than a pleasure.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fsrs\"><span class=\"fsrs-stars\"><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"hide fsrs-text fsrs-text__hidden\" aria-hidden=\"false\">2.0 out of 5.0 stars<\/span><span class=\"lining fsrs-text fsrs-text__visible\" aria-hidden=\"true\">2.0<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/344ccqJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buy on Amazon!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Martin Scorsese has made some great films over the course of his career.\u00a0GoodFellas,\u00a0Raging Bull, and Taxi Driver\u00a0are some of the better films ever made.
