I found this movie very funny in parts. The SPLAT noise when the one guy falls to the pavement is a great slapstick sound effect. Between this and the troony stuff in Gangs of New York I think Scorsese was angling for some sort of sick comedy.
Too much “lol what a coincidence”. If you do more than one, you’re making a spoof. The fact that every other person in Nicholsons “gang” is a cop or informant makes it seem even more like a parody (yes the KKK and similar groups are mostly feds, that’s common knowledge because it’s impossible to keep that big an influence a secret)
It’s enjoyable on a surface level but frustrating when you think about it. Remove Matt Damon’s character, focus on Leo realizing he’s a mark like Sicario, and don’t bother explaining Jacks motivations if you can’t come up with anything better than “for the lulz”.
>le plotholes
Who gives a shit, the worst offense of THE DEPAHTED is that it looks fricking awful. Badly edited, flat TV movie lighting and direction, washed out palette, no setpieces or memorable shots. It feels unfinished, like it didn't go through post.
Boston looked ok in Black Mass, because that movie about Irish mafia rats in the FBI was actually well-directed and edited and went through post, color correction and everything else.
Gangs of New York would be a perfect movie if it didn't have Leo and Cameron Diaz, especially Cameron Diaz, that character never should have even existed
I hated the ending. It was so unsatisfying. And I don't think it was ever addressed what was in the envelope leo gave the girl. I guess it could've been evidence against damon, but she had the tape he sent to damon already. Did leo even know she was with damon?
How did Damon's character know where Frank and his guys were going when he called off the pursuit before the shootout?
He couldn't have known that Leo's character was going to send him the address because they didn't reach any kind of understanding the last time they talked on the phone. Leo's character hung up on him.
This was a horribly forced line. Literally nobody fricking talks like that.
They absolutely do. Especially around catholic religious circles.
Maybe, maybe not. Maybe frick yourself. My theory on Feds is like shrooms. Feed them shit and keepem in the daaak. You ladies have a nice day.

Everything Nicholson said in this movie felt like a fever dream
>fever dream
I see this reddit phrase every day now
hows your mom
She's good she's tired from fricking me :3
I haven't seen every scorsese movie but this has to be one of his worst right?
No, the Departed is good.
watch 100 films made before 1950 before you ever reply to me again.

Maybe that's just Boston.

most of it was filmed in New York
Yes but a lot of morons like to defend it because it was their first Scorsese movie.
It's one of its best because it is hilarious
Yes
It's not "THE WORST" movie of his entire filmography, but it's for sure is the weakest of his 2000s era.
>bringing out the dead
>kundun
>shutter island (it's shit)
>bringing out the dead
It's kino
It's shit.
Cage overacts but not in a fun way, Arquette has the screen presence of a damp rag, corny dialogue, story brimming with bathos
Silence is his worst
It's top 3 actually. Hard to separate them but I consider Silence, The King of Comedy and The Departed as his best works
jesus christ
frickin kaksucka
the depahted
The Depahted*
YO IS THAT A FAWKIN WAT?????
IS DERE A FAWKIN WAT IN THIS FAWKIN POWLICE STAHTION????
WHAT ARE WE SAME KINDA DEPAHTED???
Everyone loved to shit on Gangs of New York, but compared to Depahted now it's top kino.
Gangs of New York would be a perfect movie if it didn't have Leo and Cameron Diaz, especially Cameron Diaz, that character never should have even existed
Both are kino
I GOT THIS FRICKING RATE JUST.... KNAWING *MAKES KNAWING NOISES*
Brad Pitt owns the rights to the HK original and wanted to make the western version with him and Cruise before The Departed happened
>Pitt/Cruise collab
Would've been top kino

It was so much worse than the asian one but the ending with wahlberg was funny
>but the ending with wahlberg was funny
Much better than two unnecessary sequels
>1 minute into the movie
>"THATS WHAT THE Black folk DONT REALISE!"
what did Scorsese mean by this?
How did Damon's character know where Frank and his guys were going when he called off the pursuit before the shootout?
He couldn't have known that Leo's character was going to send him the address because they didn't reach any kind of understanding the last time they talked on the phone. Leo's character hung up on him.
they had a tail on Costello and when he screamed to get rid of it he just added another one like Leo said later
