Gangs of New York was a long drawn-out film about the making of modern America. I remember there being moments of brilliance in the film, but I can't picture them now. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards but won none.
Leonardo Di Caprio and Martin Scorcese are back now with The Aviator, and I'll go against popular opinion to suggest that this is pretty much the same film, with the same genius hidden by the same flaws.
I'm glad I saw it but I don't think it deserves to win big come the end of February.
