Not a novel. A true crime type history book, written in the 1920s. And the book was more a broad inspiration than a specific basis for the movie. They are quite different but both interesting.
It was a cult classic when I was in college in the early 1980s. It's been criticized for being heavily embellished and gossipy. But so is Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire," and that's still a classic too. 👌
Name checks out. It's a good read. Gossipy, but I enjoy that. Like any history it's fruitful to dive deeper and read multiple sources, see who has criticized it and why and whether it was justified, and always go back to original source documents when possible.
I never saw that movie. I'm not a big city person and their goings on don't interest me much... but I just finished the Poisoners Handbook about the History of Forensics in America and how it mainly grew in New York. Pretty Fascinating.
Your recommendation... is now intriguing.. Love me some true crime. Obviously.
I read "The Jungle" back in high school. It was okay for a commie book. LOL Never read "Oil." Probably won't but I will put the film on my to do list. TY
It's a glass eye worn by the character Bill the Butcher in the movie "Gangs of New York" who was very nationalist thus it's an eagle with the American crest, I believe.
While your comment wasn't interesting not many people here are downvote happy. Yet I think after the RNC we have a bunch of new low energy retards coming in and downvoting and trying to argue. Seeing a lot more downvotes and deleted comments from banned users than usual this morning.
As a majority ethnic German myself I actually have brown hair and eyes. I'd love to figure out where Trump's family came from in Deutschland as my family came from Bayern and Hesse.
Aye, I agree. I assume people took what you said as something of a supremacist. There's nothing wrong with White Pride, but some people here are pearl clutching I'd assume.
I have brown hair and blue eyes. That makes me literally Hitler I believe. But who knows, I lose track what awful thing the left has me labeled as this hour.
Yeah that was great, then took the turkey leg out of her mouth, put a notch in it and said “this is you right here, notch 45) then proceeded to beat her brains out with it, lol
I actually just watched Gangs of NY for the first time maybe a month ago. Fucking amazing movie.
“I’ll festoon my sleeping quarters with his guts.” Best quote ever.
Well that didn't tell us very much lol
You should read the book. One of the few cases where the book and movie are both excellent.
I didn't realize it was based on a novel. I will definitely read it. Working on getting a hold of Blood Meridian right now.

What's it called now I'm super interested.

Thanks pede!
Happy to oblige. I've read a lot of books. I try to recommend them when I can. ❤
Gibbon is such a fuck and that book makes me so mad. Tons of great information but the areas of willful blindness are so infuriating.

A case where the movie is better than the book is Oil! and There Will Be Blood.
Thanks for the recommendations. 👍
Nah, skip Oil! Upton Sinclair was a dirty commie.
Movie is 10/10 if you haven't seen it.
I read "The Jungle" back in high school. It was okay for a commie book. LOL Never read "Oil." Probably won't but I will put the film on my to do list. TY
Interestingly, Daniel Day Louis stars in both Gangs of New York and There Will Be Blood.
Poor little rabbit 💪🐰 🇺🇸
I still can't believe how mask off that movie is. Check out this break down of it to see what I mean.

Got anymore of these that are as good as the narrator says? 'If there is a video to watch...this is definitely one of them.'
That channel has a bunch of them. Here are some of my favorites:
The Twilight Zone
Mr. Smith Gets Blackpilled
The Great Boomer Deception
TY for this. I agree.
Fantastic movie, although I think a lot of the actors are in the pedo club. And Cameron Diaz was a shitty choice for the movie.
And America in his heart.
And another term in his future.
Lol at the cuck downvoting these
Oh no whatever will we do without our amassed internet points?!
I’m saving up my internet points so I can buy a new Callaway driver. They work for purchases, right?
They need to save that low energy for when they get spanked at the polls in November.

Wtf am I looking at

No surprise, because to Hollywood, nationalism is bad and globalism and immigration is good.
It appears to be an eagle
Yeah I’m lost here, I don’t get it
Looks like a sloth to me but I know I'm missing the reference as well. No real idea.

Yes I got stickied!
If it lasts more than 4 hours, consult a doctor.

Same. I always miss the cucks crying.
Downvotes don't matter

You really hate to see it happen y'know. one day I was myself, now I'm Hitler.
does that hair look blonde to you?
IS THIS A DOCTORED IMAGE
Snopes Fact Check says: Mostly False.
OoooOooOo NooooOoOooes.
You zoom....but why no enhance?
Lol
Eye color should be green for at least a couple of meme reasons.
Art!!! Fact
I liked the part of the convention where he sunk a meat cleaver into Stacey Abrams' fat back.
Yeah that was great, then took the turkey leg out of her mouth, put a notch in it and said “this is you right here, notch 45) then proceeded to beat her brains out with it, lol
I love the smell of sticky in the morning.... it smells like victory
Yay.
And Ewww.
can confirm this is real from the blonde hair
"What's a matter with ya boy, mouth full of cunny juice?!?!"
I have this tshirt and it amazes me how many people have to ask about who it is or what it references
https://ibb.co/8Y0SKgY
That shirt is epic!
I bought it about 3-4yrs ago from RSVLTS. They dont have it listed any longer but I need to get this one now https://www.rsvlts.com/products/glory-gang-crewneck-tee
He sees freedom for all Americans.
You can tell this is real because of the blonde eyelashes and eyebrow hair.
Help—I don’t get it, and I’ve even seen the movie...well, a while ago now, I suppose.
It’s an eagle in his glass eye
Meanwhile, on the left...
I thought from the reddish color of the eyeball that you were gonna say he's at [10].
Vote for ingenuity
What a great movie! (Gangs of New York with Leonardo DeCaprio and Daniel Day Lewis) "This is a kill... this is a kill, and this is a kill."
Never go hand to hand with an actual Butcher... or Surgeon.
"Get on your knees at my feet, N-word!"
Surgeon slices through Achilles tendon, bad guy topples with his calf retracted back into his rectum.
This is hands down the best villain that I have ever seen in a movie, so good that you almost empathize with him.
Notice the lack of blood that his challenger brings to the table.
Bill the Butcher 2024!!
