The entire narrative structure of Gangs of New York centers on Daniel Day Lewis. Bill the Butcher was a compelling figure in the script before casting even happened, yet DDL transformed him into the living representation of the film's brutal atmosphere. His performance didn't just dominate the movie; it became the engine driving the whole story.
