Saw this movie early this morning and it was fucking amazing. Great cast but they fucking ruined the movie with the trailer. They shouldnt have put a certain scene in the trailer with Marky Mark. I was surprised how things went to be honest. Great movie even if i saw it under sad pretences. :-\
-
It was a VERY good move. The type that you come out of and talk about after. About who did what, what led to this and choices the characters in the movie make.
The ending was just...woah. Thats all I'll say.
The acting from all fronts was top fricken notch and the humor was there and it was great. DiCaprio was fuck awesome, totally. He was definitely my fav character in the whole movie. Everyone had a great Bostonian accent but definitely Walberg and Damon pulled it off more naturally (for obvious reason).
It was just a fricken fun movie and had my attention from beginning to end. Some people said it may have been to long but I say it was just perfect. Definitely worth the price of admission, no doubt.

I. MUST. SEE. THIS. >:(

The Departed is the best film of the year, and blows IA away.
Im sure I'll get shit on for it, but after a single viewing, its probably my favorite Scorsese, ever.
I'm just re-posting my review from another place I post:
The Departed (Scorsese, 2006) - 10/10
Ladies and gentlemen, here is the latest masterpiece by legendary director Martin Scorsese, the best remake I have ever seen, and my favorite film of 2006 thusfar (and I'm not sure if it can be topped). The Departed features Scorsese once again doing the thing that no one does better than him - crafting a brilliant character study about isolation and the loss of identity and soul, set smack dab in the middle of an epic gangster film. This film is the best Marty has done in some time, easily the best of his three collaborations with DiCaprio, and totally blows the original Infernal Affairs out of the water. Yes, that's right. If that film is a nice T-bone steak, The Departed is a giant serving of juicy prime rib. What Scorsese and Monahan do so well is take the basic structure of the original, and then proceed to mold it into something new and fresh, while adding significant depth to all the characters, and that classic Scorsese touch. This is the work of a virtuoso filmmaker returning home after a long absence, and I fully welcome it.
The filmmaking here is immaculate. Scorsese handles the wealth of material, plots, characters and twists without breaking a sweat. The film really feels rather effortless and breezy, and while 150 minutes long, runs a lot shorter than many 100 minute films do, which says a lot. This is a tribute to Scorsese, who changes up his style a bit for this film. There are no long tracking shots to be found here, the musical choices are strangely stunted and repeated, and the camera is almost always moving. For a lesser director, this sudden change in style could ruin the film. Scorsese makes it work though, and I actually felt that the frantic pacing of the camera and the editing made this film even better; more intriguing and suspenseful. As usual, Marty's technical prowess is on full display. The man just knows exactly where to have his camera at all times, how to frame things, and when his camera moves, it's always in the right way. It will be a sad day when Scorsese retires, because there are few remaining directors that possess the knowledge, and then the skill to apply that knowledge, that Marty does.
Of course, the masterpiece Scorsese films comes from the pen of the great William Monahan. Holy hell is this ever an electric screenplay. This is the best writing I have seen in a Hollywood film in ages. I don't know where Monahan pulled the razor sharp dialogue (laced with more profanity, vulgarity, and racism than you'll likely see again in a major film) from, but I am extremely thankful for it. There is so much memorable dialogue and so many great scenes in his script to count. The other great thing Monahan did, which caught me totally off-guard, was write an absolutely hilarious screenplay. I was expecting the film to be serious in tone, and yet my sides were splitting from laughing at least a dozen times during the film. In fact, I think he should be proud of that, because, based on my audience, which erupted with laughter each time one such line or scene occurred, he completely nailed the humor. This is what makes the film work so great. Monahan wrote this serious screenplay filled with dark humour, and Scorsese, while taking it also very seriously, definately directed it with his tongue firmly in his cheek. In essence, as strange is it sounds, the film is a heavy, but a light-hearted one.
Scorsese directs from Monahan's vision, but it's the actors who are tasked with bringing the whole thing to life and making it believable. To say they all do this with flying colours would be the understatement of the year. Every single member of the cast, from top to bottom, brings their A-game. It's like they were all fully aware they were starring in a Scorsese crime classic, and no one wanted to be the weak link, so they all elevated their performances. Three actors in particular blew me away, and I will touch on them last. Before that, I will touch upon the rest of the cast. Matt Damon is very good here, probably the best I've seen him, and I could buy into his cocky Bostonian Colin persona, because it's probably the truest to life role he's had. Martin Sheen is excellent as Queenan, the leader of the spy unit, the mentor to Billy, and the "good" of the most hilariously awesome good cop/bad cop team I've ever seen. Alec Baldwin is full of Irish piss and vinegar as Ellerby, leader of the special unit. He's solid as always, and provides several laughs. Vera Farmiga has the huge task of playing the sole major female character in the film, and pulls it off wonderfully. Her role, as Colin's love interest, and Billy's shrink, has been greatly expanded for this remake, and Farmiga has the chops to believably pull off the very smart and conflicted Madolyn. Now, back to the three performances that really rivited me, from least to most. First up is Mark Wahlberg, in a smaller, supporting role as Queenan's right-hand man, Dignam, the "bad" portion of the previously mentioned good cop/bad cop team. Wahlberg doesn't have a lot of scenes, but boy is he ever memorable in the ones he has. He obviously had a lot of fun with his excessively vulgar dialogue, and acted like he was spitting fire. Next up is Jack Nicholson, who is a revelation as mob boss Frank Costello. This is the most impressed I have been with Jack since The Shining. He totally ownes this role, and turns in an unforgettable performance. Why it's taken this long for Nicholson and Scorsese to team, I'll never know, as it's a match made in bloody heaven. This is the sleaziest, most profane, digustingly enjoyable performance Jack has ever given, and he delivers at least two-thirds of the film's humor. He perfectly balances between going completely over-the-top, and keeping it grounded enough to make us scared shitless of someone like Costello. Last, but definately not least (in fact, most) is Leonardo DiCaprio's heartwrenching, seething, frightened and hopeless turn as the tortured Billy Costigan. I will fully agree with and endorse the claim that this is the best he has ever been. Hooking up with Scorsese is the best thing that could have ever happened to Leo, as his craft has improved tenfold since their first collaboration. He is absolutely on fire here, as the conflicted, aggressive and utterly lost undercover agent. DiCaprio totally sells the persona of a man trying his best to wrestle his inner demons, while falling deeper into Costello's world, and desperately seeking a way out. What is really great about his performance is that so much of it is internalized, and manifests itself not through dialogue, but through his body language and his eyes. And the eyes never lie. Brilliant acting from DiCaprio and the entire cast.
Well, it's definately time to wrap this up, as it's definately the longest review I have ever written here. It should also be said that compared to the original, The Departed has a few cards up it's sleeve, and takes its own direction at several key junctions. Also, for anyone who gets turned off by language, violence or general crudeness, this might not be for you. The Departed is the most graphic, excessively violent, profane, and vulgar film I've seen in some time. And I love Scorsese all the more for it. His unflinching and uncomprising style is always welcome. To sum it up, this is a total resurrection of a true auteur. And while it's a bit hard to gauge after a single viewing, with the insanity of excitement still surrounding me, this is possibly my favorite film Scorsese has ever done. I don't think theres a bigger compliment I could give The Departed. Welcome home, Martin Scorsese.
-
I :heart Solo.
-
:heart U 2! Lawlz! Really, the only remaining contender this year for me is Children of Men.
-
Yeah, I'm not really as sold on The Fountain as I feel I should be... :-\
-
I gotta see this this tonight... :hyper :hyper :hyper
Good review, Solo.
-
Neither am I. Though I try my best to not be per/dissuaded by reviews, I cant help but have the awful reviews Fountain has received at early screenings floating around my mind. Style over substance seems to be the name of the game for this one.
EDIT: Thanks, Juice :-[
-
Just got back from watching it. I was very surprised that it WASN'T sold out. Theatre was only half full (7pm showing).
There were some great trailers beforehand, 2 or 3 movies that are must watch for me. The cinematography on that WWII movie looks AMAZING. Even the Frank Miller inspired movie (300) looks beautiful, too bad the acting looks atrocious.
Anyways, onto the film. I went into this movie only knowing that it 1) was a gangster movie 2) a Scorcese movie. So, if I seem a bit naive about the story or its origins, I apologize.
I was completely blown away by the cast. Almost everyone was perfect for their roles. I thought Al Pacino would have made the PERFECT Frank Costello, but Jack Nicholson did a good job. Although he played the part a little too "goofy" at times.
The amount of edits in this movie is staggering. Each scene is so fast paced, if you blink, you can miss an important detail. To be honest, there were parts that moved TOO fast. I still don't really understand Frank Costello's motivation for his actions, or some of the other nuances of the film.
But even with that minor flaw, the outcome is a movie that is lean, mean and right to the point. Pulp Fiction meets L.A. Confidential hopped up on coke and steroids.
It's easily Scorcese's best since Goodfella's.
-

Scorsese's films never do huge box office, sadly. Yet Michal Bay routinely can cross $200M. Further proof that the gen pop likes bad movies. Anyways, Departed made $8.5M opening day, which is fantastic by Scorsese standards.
-
Seeing it this afternoon. Hellz yeah! :D
-
Youll love it. Where Mann let you down, Marty does not.
-
FUCK MANN AND HIS UBER UNRATED MIAMI VICE NONSENSE....
I'll probably pick it up anyway. :(
-
OMG OMG OMG
Saw this movie yesterday, and while its similar to IA almost to a "T", I still FUCKING LOVED IT. If you like good movies, you will too.
9.0 out of 10

I've heard of his movies, and they sound cool. Didn't he do a movie like Driving Miss Daisy, except it has Robert de Nero in it?

Gotcha bitch!
Yeah I've heard of that movie, and seen the trailer. Never seen it though.

You're right, its actually good!
I really hope this is a joke, PD. If not, wow. Hes only the greatest living American filmmaker.
- Mean Streets

- Raging Bull
- The Last Temptation of Christ
- Goodfellas
- Cape Fear

Never seen them. Although I've seen pieces of Goodfellas on TV; the voiceovers are annoying as fuck. And I saw some of Casino.
-
So what do you watch, PD? Willco-recommended movies only?
-
Don't you guys know by now that the only way PD would have seen any of those movies is if they were on Youtube?
-
Are you saying I don't recommend Scorcese films? Low blow! Of Solo's list, the only ones I enjoy are Raging Bull, The Last Temptation of Christ, Goodfellas, Cape Fear and The Aviator. Gangs of New York is actually kind of fun too. Casino is a piece of crap. And Taxi Driver has to be the most overrated, unenjoyable film ever made. And that's saying a lot, because I've seen every Kubrick film.

I'm never listening to your recommendations again.
-
You never did anyway. A good rule of thumb is if a film is usually hyped by White Man, it's probably awful.
-
White Man hyped The Departed? When?
Hell, The Departed was better than both Spider-Man movies combined. You suck. >:(
-

Who's the one hear that holds the Spider-man movies in high acclaim, Willco?
My DVD collection is a matter of public record (www.indarktrees.com/Library), and there's not that much bad shit on it. The bad shit that is there is at least entertaining, or I got it cheap.
-
I'M WITH WHITE MAN
:meeble
-
nah, TVC has consistently good taste in film*, even if I can't exactly stomach some of the stuff he watches from a visceral angle. He's never put Spider-Man on a pillar, that's for sure!
* - Well, other than the Serenity bashing. WTF!
-
WILLCO SUCKS AT MOVIES HAHAHA
-
So what do you watch, PD? Willco-recommended movies only?
I don't see many movies. Outside of fun stuff like LOTR/Spiderman/Harry Potter/etc, I don't go to the movies. There are so many movies I haven't seen
-
So basically, you're a mainstream dumbass with horrible taste in movies.
lolz, NO WONDER YOU LIKE WILLCO'S RECOMMENDATIONS :meeble

To tell the truth, most of my favorite movies were made in the 60s. My mom would always rent various movies she liked as a kid and show them to us.
I'm renting Evil Dead 1 one Friday. It better be good.
-
It is, but you probably won't like it.

I find you'll appreciate Evil Dead much more if you see the two sequels first. I think I remember you saying you've seen AoD?

He didn't like AoD.

No, I saw 30 minutes of it on the Sci Fi channel, and it sucked. Little people dropping grits on people's head...wtf
What other movies should I rent? My parents won't be back for awhile lol, so I might as well charge the movies to to their Hollywood Video account :lol

And of course, the Departed.

That's my problem, except I'm 10 times more lazier than you. Which is suprising considering your ethnic background.
You guys could basically call off a list of movies made in the last ten years, and I probably would have only seen a couple of them
-
Mean Streets is probably my favorite Scorsese movie, despite it being a bit rough. I like seeing artists "in the raw," as in before they demanded a lot of clout and big budgets and had stars begging to do their projects, and Mean Streets is pretty much a perfect example of that.

Yup. Except, my favorite is still Goodfellas....
-
I was in implying White Man has bad taste in cinema overall. I don't think he's said anything about The Departed.
And I concur with White Man, watch the Evil Dead films backwards.

Yea, I've heard it's a fuckin' great movie, I gotta see it. I only saw both Taxi Driver and Raging Bull within the past few months.
In the list of great movies I haven't seen, I decided to get a couple of westerns out of the way in the past few weeks - Unforgiven and Tombstone. I wasn't let down. Tombstone was better, but Unforgiven was worth it just for the ending.
-

Saying I have "bad taste in cinema overall" is so cutting coming from someone that adores movies that feature Nickelback songs.
-
I think his "was in" was a typo for "wasn't" dude -- don't punish him just yet!
-
Willco, your Taxi Driver hate makes me lose some love for you :( Its my favorite Scorsese, bar none. And Mean Streets is fucking fantastic. Everyone knows Taxi Driver and Raging Bull and Goodfellas, but Mean Streets is arguably more influential than any of them, though people dont always notice. It set the template for these type of films.
Anyways, theres still some Marty I need to see, but from what I have seen:
1. Taxi Driver
2. The Departed
3. Raging Bull
4. Mean Streets
5. The Last Temptation of Christ
6. Goodfellas
7. The Aviator
8. Cape Fear
9. Gangs Of New York
10. The Color of Money
11. Who's That Knocking at My Door?
12. Casino
Need to see
- The Last Waltz
- Kundun
- Bringing Out The Dead
- Others I cant think of currently
-
I just don't find Taxi Driver entertaining, nor worthy of all the hype. And yeah, Drinky spotted the typo. My bad. I'd say, I agree with about 80 - 85% of WhiteMan's picks.
-
I dunno, everything is just so perfect. The writing, De Niro, Foster, Keitel, Herrmann's awesome score, etc.
-
If it's any consolation, I am looking forward to The Departed.
-
Go see it, stat! There is no better in this year of 2006.
Marty's next sounds pretty awesome too.
-
Didn't you give it a 6.9, Willco?
Solo: Why is Casino so low on that list, buddy.... WHY ALL THE HATE?! :'(
-
Well, I did enjoy Gangs of New York, and The Aviator was pretty great - so here's hoping DiCaprio/Scorcese don't let me down.
-
I think this classic David Spade SNL joke best describes Casino for me:
"Casino. Ca-SEEN IT... WHEN IT WAS CALLED GOODFELLAS."
-
Oh come on, sure they're similar, but Casino has SO MANY good factors working for it that weren't in Goodfellas...
*searches YouTube for cornfield scene*
-
Casino is Goodfellas lite, while managing to be neither as intriguing or as well done. And the fact that I find Goodfellas itself on the overrated side doesnt fare well for a Goodfellas Deux, if you will. My favorite thing about Casino was the sets :lol

My favorite scene of the moment in The Departed is the hilarious "She fell funny" :lol
-
A good scene, but there are SO MANY FUCK AWESOME SCENES that I can't decide which is my fave.
But yeah, "she fell funny" was definitely a WTF hilarious scene. :lol
-
I also loved the whole scene with Leo in the bar, when hes getting the attention of Mr. French.
"Ill have a cranberry juice"
"Thats what my girlfriend drinks when its her period. Is it your period?"
*several seconds of silence*
*Leo goes apeshit*
Hell, theres at least 15 or so great scenes in the movie. The DVD is gonna get lots of play when it comes out.
-
Almost any scene with Nicholson was killer, IMO. The porno theater (a big black dildo? :lol ), the hand at the dinner table, asking the restuarant owner's daughter if she's had her period yet... hilarious.
-
Yup, Jack was golden. Lots of people thought he just chewed scenery, and was way over the top, but personally I thought he struck just the right chord with me. I could totally buy into him as this aging mob boss who is starting to come loose at the seams. He was so perfectly erratic and random. And fucking hilarious. Its a toss up for me between who was the funniest, Jack or Wahlberg.
Jack had me dying laughing when he was trying to communicate with the Chinese guys.
-
"What's up?"
"I'm tired, from fucking ya sister."
"How's your mother?"
"Good, she's tired from fucking my father."
:lol
-
I was trying to remember that exchange :lol Wahlberg and Baldwin made so much out of so little roles. So did Martin Sheen. Hell, this was the most impressive across the board ensemble cast Ive seen in a while. Everyone rocked it.

-
The Departed was awesome, but it's not better than Mo Gan Do/Infernal Affairs.
IA was more deeply nuanced and frankly Andy Lau out acted Damon. IA has more shades of grey and less clear cut good vs evil.
Departed was more exciting, but IA was smarter.
-
Yeah IA did the whole "grey area" thing better, but c'mon -- TD wasn't that black & white. :-[

I just saw the pen scene on YouTube...I could barely watch that ugh
I remember seeing a pen scene in the movie when it was shown on TV, and it was different. He stabs him in the windpipe once or something, and the guys falls on the floor making these wierd breathing sounds.

I :heart cornfield.

Caught a second and final theatrical viewing of The Departed yesterday, and it cements its position as my personal film of the year. Just so fuckawesome!
-
Gonna catch this again tomorrow, OMG SCORSESEGASM COMING ON
-
Finally saw this for the first time....HOLY FUCK IT JUST BLEW MY FACE OUT THE BACK OF MY HEAD (much like many of the characters in the movie). So many great scenes, so many great lines. I was on the edge of my seat for basically the whole movie. And the last 20 minutes or so...words cannot describe the awesomeness. The only complaint I can think of is that Comfortably Numb cover...I will probably skip that scene when I watch on DVD. :lol
The best movie I have seen all year BY FAR. One of the Scorcese's best.
-
Saw this again tonight, OMG OMG OMG :cums

Shake did a grown up take you to see the movie, or did they just let you in without ID?

Looking at this thread, I must admit that I haven't seen any of the following movies. I must be "fackin retaaded"
I will get on that though. The Departed was awesome.

I actually really like that cover art. Much better than the lame posters the film got.

Yeah, but then again its Warner: aside from the rare oddities like Superman Returns, they always give good films great cover art! ;)
Better art over at DVD Active:http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/the-departed.html (http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/the-departed.html)
