Do we really need a video essay to tells us why? SKIP

Your Departed video, Saving Private Ryan, and this video earned a subscription from me sir!

Such a great movie. Dang, I want to watch it right now. Scorsese has an uncanny ability to make gun shots so brutal and unsettling that very few directors have. All the deaths in Killers of the Flower Moon make me sick. Such a good director.

"Cousin"..

This movie tells you the end in the title. The Departed. Everyone with the exception of Dingham dies. And honestly, if Dingham had been on the roof at the end we would’ve had a very different outcome.

Scorsese got bulk pricing on head Shot FX.

The only problem I had with this scene was that, he had Jackson….he was made to be a world class sniper. Why couldn’t he just snipe them, instead of rushing the machine gun head in

I was so pissed that moss died, what made it worse, he died early in the movie, then his wife. But this movie is very good

Holy F I’m sick of RUclips video essays where you draw people in with a quick premise and then want to break down the entire freaking film rather than just telling us the point... go away

"I was speechless" Well you better have been if you were in a movie theater! lol

this is a great film but i like the original better, its bit darker.

Saw the movie Infernal Affairs beforehand so kind of spoiled it for everyone I was watching it with.

This movie is a masterpiece! And the OG (Internal Affairs), that one is in another dimension of greatness.

I remember seeing this movie and talking to my friend about it, as he'd also gone to see it. I asked him what he thought of the movie, and he told me that he and his wife had walked out of the theater due to boredom. I still can't wrap my mind around that reaction.

You guys hear that? Somebody's at the door....could be a washing machine

I really hoped that just before the shot, Billy would've said "oh no... 😟". IYKYK.

Great scene! Have you ever had you sht stuffed???

0:54 Interesting that you considered Matt Damon's character as a "protagonist". I always saw him as the main antagonist to Leo's character, more so than Jack Nicholson's character.

the definition of masterpiece is debateable here. for me it isn't a masterpiece. it's a good thriller. holds together well throughout with a few surprises in store. masterpiece & genius are hurled around like eggs these days, pretty causally - and they break easily. perhaps Raging Bull is a masterpiece or some of Nicolson's early work 5 Pieces or The King of Marvin Gardens. but these so-called masterpieces come around infrequently. perhaps The French Connection or Heat (nearly - sorry Al.) perhaps Zodiac? perhaps The Offence with Sean Connery? there are so many well made films nowadays, the bar is set very high for that gold standard you speak of. perhaps you could say Goodfellas too. but it's become a cliché & oddly boring watching it again. I suppose everyone has their own standard of what a masterpiece is. but if the general consensus is that The Departed is a masterpiece, I would suggest it isn't.

Masterpiece. This movie changes your brain.

I was most upset when Anthony Anderson got shot

Excellent channel (I've been binging your work). Subscribed, and yes, I sat silently stunned at the elevator scene. It might be the most shocked I've ever been as a cinema lover.

9:59 I can’t help feeling Matt Damon looks a bit like Jack Nicholson here.

Infernal Affairs was better.

Because in original infernal affair shocked audiences hollywood's remake trimmed the dramatic pace that make audience connecting to the characters with the slow burn nature of the films and replaced it with unnecessaries violence action and faster pace to just make the story went forward not to mentioned they get rid of buddhism's subtext in the story telling and replaced with nothing because America, amirite? also Jack nicholson's already known for drama acting while sam in original's a comedian with no prior acting in this kind of role before that even make him more intimidating and surprisingly catch audiences off guard and lastly the Hollywood remake end the story here while original's trilogy

almost as boring as my essays about books we had to read in high school. Way to ruin the fun out of a scene bro

The original is better.

Between this movie and The Irishman, I can’t tell which I despise more.

Very similar energy to a certain scene in Uncut Gems!

That movie was a joke.

I had to go find and watch the end of this movie afterwards to feel some justification.

Is it okay if there's a series without music and can actually be that good if it's done right? If so, How?

I thought Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Mark Wahlberg were all the same guy as a kid.

Didn't shock anyone who watched the HK version

infernal affairs is better!

seeing Mark Walberg's character carry out the final blow was always the cherry on the top to this finale. one of my favorites!

Cpt Miller always took the moral choice because when everything is FUBAR anyway you may as well do a little good where you can. At the end of the day, he could justify every choice he made to himself, to his men, to his family, to his men's family, to the military and possibly even to God.

Hot damn, I’m so stoked I stumbled upon your channel! And it’s a relatively new channel too; you’re destined to blow up for sure! As someone who also studies film, I love what you’re doing. Keep up the great work!

It annoyed me so much when I saw this because they didn't really publicize that it was an adaptation, and I'd already seen Internal Affairs just a couple years earlier. So I new everything that was going to happen once I realized.

I preferred the other version of this movie, Saving Ryan’s Privates.

Who gave the guy from Kangaroo Jack a gun😂

Played by Matt Da Mon

It was such a ‘sweet sensation’ at the end of the movie where Markie Mark was like “feel it, feel it!”

One of my favourite films, I try to watch this once a year. Gets me Everytime.

No! No sale. I'm not buying this load of sh!t. I already know reality sucks. I don't need some Hollywoof MF'g director to jam it down my throat and ruin my day. Up yours, Scorcese!

Don't think there was a single thing about this film that was superior to Infernal Affairs personally. An hour longer and not much added. No hate for this film, just seemed unnecessary to add so much padding Vs the original.

the original movie is even more tense high stakes and less comedic

"Worldwide" - nah, more than half of us had already watched Infernal Affairs.

One thing to add that really kicks the tension back up for a bit is that the niece fucking LIES at first, she says she was at school and for a minute you think Jake is fucked, again.

Very, VERY FEW directors and writers have the balls to eliminate the main character of the movie in a single, unexpected second. Probably my favorite movie from Scorsese.
