The Departed
I havent been able to depart from thinking about this movie in the past 3 hours since I have seen the movie. This is the best movie of the year so far, period. Scorsese has proved yet again what a masterful director he is and some of the scenes are just open-mouthed amazing!!!! I dont want to give out anything about this movie yet.
To the Academy Award......please just give the fucking Best director award to him.
I'm sure the story of the movie has been gone over countless times on reviews online, so I'm not going to give out anything. But I would like to mention a few points to watch out for. Sometimes with an all star cast such as this the motivation for some of the actors to act may not be that great. But DiCaprio, Damon, Nicholson, Warlberg none of them have taken a wrong step. A few words about the each of them.
DiCaprio - I went into the movie not expecting much from him but he just stole the show. In fact I think DiCaprio just out performed everybody including Nicholson!!!!
Nicholson - sigh!!!! nobody else can portray a crazy ass m*&@&*@#$%&* like he does. And he has done just that.
Damon - Matt Damon has just proved why he is well regarded among the acting circles of late. He brings out a very good performance here.
Warlberg - I cant believe that Im still thinking about an underwear models acting three hours after I have seen the movie. His character has been my favorite. His dialogues and character was portrayed perfectly. Watch out for the scene between Alec Baldwin and Mark Warlberg!!!!! Just ripped me apart.
More than anything else it has been a Scorsese movie till the final scene and it was just awesome!!!!!!!!
Plzzzzzzzzzz Academy just fucking give it him!!!!!!!!!!!

Departed is that good, eh? Anyone know when's it coming to India?
totally unrelated, but Requiem for a Dream should feature here.

I would prefer the original "Infernal Affairs" over "The Departed" anytime.

Like you wished Departed indeed made it to Oscars. But I dare bring one similarity here b/w a tamil/telugu movie and Departed.
After Departed, I saw this movie DROHI(1996)in telugu,*cast- Kamal Hasan and Arjun.
The intruder, mole, and the hero(kamal),to save his family gets in much pressure from villain..Also it has been shown that even the high officials are either corrupted or scared..The other hero Arjun clandestinely sends a mole in villain's grp.
I'm not saying Scorsese copied from this but i m not sure either. Its very easy for a director of his caliber to change the script to international levels.Even if i were wrong, i just wanted to say that Departed is NOT the first of its kind.
A remarkable movie has already been made by our Indians!!10 yrs before Departed was made!!
