So I watched The Departed and wow. Thats all I can say. It is a great film, and I am hoping that it will finally earn Martin Scorsese an Oscar, although I doubt that it will happen. The film is about a police officer infiltrating the mob, and a man involved in the mob, infiltrating the police force. The film takes place in South Boston, and involves the Boston State Police. The film stars Leonardo DciCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, and Alec Baldwin. The movie was very entertaining, and it had a lot of funny moments. Mark Wahlberg did an amazing job, as a supporting actor, stealing all of the scenes that he was in.
I don't know if this film is Oscar worthy, especially so early in the year, and many movies haven't even come yet, but if the movies that come out are the same caliber as previous films this then this film stands a chance. I really want Scorsese to win an award he deserves one, there have been so many film that he has made, that were award worthy that just didn't win. I'm not trying to turn this into a campaign for an Oscar for Scorsese, but that is just the way that I feel.
so if anyone wants a good movie to see, I suggest that you go and see it. Its a good film that is entertaining, and very enjoyable.
Enjoy!
