Just saw The Departed

[Don Jacob]

spoiler alert

it was a really good movie, i rented it the other day and kept it 3 days. I watched it 3 times, but i didn't understand the ending. How mark wallhberg did know he was the mole? cuz nowere in the movie it's explained to another character that he is the indict who's working for costello, beside billy, but billy's dead.. Was he a mole too? i didn't get it


I also thought it was a fucking great movie. I'll buy on the dvd when it get's cheaper

it's marky mark, that's all that needs to be said

[h cottie is bac-tive?]

well-deserved Oscar

Well, one shouldn't forget that it's a remake of another movie. A mirror-like one, not very original. Except that the people are white instead of Asian, and that everything is set up within western culture and western values.

it's not a shot for shot remake like Psycho, so i don't really see any reason to denigrate it's effectiveness based on it's origins

[MIAMI4LIFE]

this is a great movie but I still think Goodfellas is better, but he finally got his Oscar, much overdue

[lazy_sunday]

Great movie!!! It deserved to win an academy award and so did Scorsese.

I can't believe that during the Oscars, they said that Infernal Affairs was from Japan.

SPOILER ALERT (for those who haven't seen 79th Annual Academy Awards yet)


i cant belive that a remake of a 4 years older film, a worse remake i must add, won a oscar.. thats some bullshit.

[Don Jacob]

i'm sorry but no, that performance by forrest was AMAZING, no doubt, but that doesn't equate across the whole film like the departed did with walhberg, dicaprio, nicholson, baldwin, damon, ect. also that movie wasn't even nominated. plus the way scorsese shot that film was  , the directing compared to infernal affairs was so much better than infernal affairs, then the editing by shoonmaker was   as well.

[No Compute]

I like The Departed but I preferred Infernal Affairs, all the best scenes in The Departed where pretty much straight from Infernal Affairs and Infernal Affairs story just seemed to come together much better.

movie was super good.. Another classic
