Center

Primary

Political: Leans LeftConfidence: High

The film leans left by primarily critiquing nativism, xenophobia, and class exploitation during the violent formation of American society, centering its narrative on the struggles of marginalized immigrant communities against established power structures.

Diversity: LowConfidence: High

The movie features traditional casting that accurately reflects its historical setting, without intentional race or gender swaps for diversity. Its narrative focuses on historical conflicts and societal struggles of the era, rather than offering a critical portrayal of traditional identities through a modern DEI lens.

Secondary

LGBTQ: N/AConfidence: High

Gangs of New York does not include any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on historical gang conflicts, political corruption, and the immigrant experience in 19th-century New York, with no discernible LGBTQ+ representation.

FemPower: N/R

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

Gender Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film features original characters and historical figures whose on-screen gender aligns with their documented historical gender. There are no instances where a character established as one gender in source material or history is portrayed as a different gender.

Race Swap: NoConfidence: High

The film's main characters are either fictional or loosely based on historical figures whose race (white, specifically Irish or Anglo-Protestant) is consistent with their portrayal by white actors. No established character's race was altered.
