William Magear Tweed (April 3, 1823 - April 12, 1878) - often erroneously referred to as "William Marcy Tweed", and widely known as "Boss" Tweed - was an American politician, most notable for being the "boss" of Tammany Hall, the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in the politics of 19th century New York City and State. At the height of his influence, Tweed was the third-largest landowner in New York City, a director of the Erie Railroad, a director of the Tenth National Bank, a director of the New-York Printing Company, proprietor of the Metropolitan Hotel, a significant stockholder in iron mines and gas companies, a board member of the Harlem Gas Light Company, a board member of the Third Avenue Railway Company, a board member of the Brooklyn Bridge Company, and the president of the Guardian Savings Bank. Tweed was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1852 and the New York County Board of Supervisors in 1858, the year he became the head of the Tammany Hall political machine. He was also elected to the New York State Senate in 1867, but Tweed's greatest influence came from being an appointed member of a number of boards and commissions, his control over political patronage in New York City through Tammany, and his ability to ensure the loyalty of voters through jobs he could create and dispense on city-related projects. Tweed was convicted for stealing an amount estimated by an aldermen's committee in 1877 at between $25 million and $45 million from New York City taxpayers through political corruption, although later estimates ranged as high as $200 million. Unable to make bail, he escaped from jail once, but was returned to custody. He died in the Ludlow Street Jail.

This is more like the Gangs of Pixels.

"The Points got Worse. As if it LIKED getting dirty."

Hard to believe it's Jim Broadbent!

"America for Americans!" Oh boy, does THAT sound familiar.

glad to see not much changed

We watched this in social studies, and everyone was like, "is that Leonardo DiCaprio?!"

Ahh, the five pixels.

I don't know how anyone could not watch this and think about the vicious cycle our politics was thrown into. We were set on a certain path from the start: extreme poverty, corrupt politicians, deregulated capitalism. No wonder we are in the boat we are in today.

It is no wonder my family settled Northern Michigan in 1760, the middle of nowhere, so they weren't polluted by this.

DiCaprio is a damn good actor, but his character wasn't.

Am I having a stroke or is this really blurry?

Even the soviets had better quality in ww2

Lol Irish folk were hated and now loved. Mexicans will have to go through the same. Hated then loved.

HA! Democrats 🤣

Mind you That’s unrestricted LEGAL immigration (only rudimentary health inspection, not much other conditions like today). The Irish back then were equivalent of Latinos today - catholic, coarse, dirt poor, crimes. The only difference is that the Irish were legal.

The movie set is just way too unbelievable. Other movies would go such way to edit their film to make the setting, props and background cast look believable, in here, the actors do their best but the movie set is just too loud but way too unconvincing.
