      it was ALL evidence he had of whatever kind (so... presumably, yes the recordings)
      Billy was wicked smart so i would also ASSUME not the "hard copy" (i e. HIS copy).... just copies of the documentation / evidence.
      or, simply what's WIDELY known as a "KILLSWITCH"
      though some ppl tend to confuse the envelope she opened (then played) with the envelope he handed her in the hallway (the killswitch, that is) HOWEVER, as you can see what she opened in the apt was ADDRESSED TO Colin, & had postage (as it had been sent through the mail)....AND though they all had 3rd-party association with one another, neither of the 3 realized they were all linked whatsoever (meaning Billy didn't know THAT'S where she had moved, just that she was moving / had moved, but not specifically that Colin was actually the bf she had moved in with)
      y'know what they say "it's a small world"....if they only knew!
      ALSO, it's only minimally (albeit subliminally) implied, but YES the baby's Billy's...as though we know they had relations, there were hinted "complications" in the bedroom (btw Madeline & Colin:
      Madeline: " do you you wanna talk about last night?"
      "guys tend tend to make a big deal of IT"
      "IT'S act quite common"
      Colin: 😒 "i gotta go to work"
      IT = "performance" problems....🙀
      ...AS WELL AS she had something she wanted to tell Billy & he put it off 2 wks (of course he died b4 those 2 wks were over but 💁🏻‍♀️ I assume she was gonna mention the baby) & she ONLY, from what we were shown, revealed the baby news to Colin AFTER Billy stalled convo.

    Dialogues in this movie are just pure gold. It's one of the most re-watchable 2 and 1/2 hour movies ever made.
    Also, this was the film where Martin Scorsese finally won the Oscar for Best Director. He had been nominated, lost five times before and got it on his sixth nomination. His previous nominations were for "Raging Bull", "The Last Temptation of Christ", "Goodfellas", "Gangs of New York" and "The Aviator". He has been nominated three more times for "Hugo", "The Wolf of Wall Street", "The Irishman" and now for "Killers of the Flower Moon". All of them are great films.

      Costigan had the integrity of a hero, making his death resonant and that much more painful after what he endured. He could have saved his own life after he noticed the 'Citizens' envelope, in a self-preserving escape from the knowledge that Sullivan was the rat, but he defiantly--and naively because there was more than just one rat--chose to be a cop despite the risk to his life.

    4:06 Boston has a long history of Irish cops. There was a lot of Irish hate in the 1800s when immigrants trying to escape the potato famine were coming to the states by the boatload. They found work in jobs that most would look down on, like factory work and hard labor. They had a hard time getting any respectable jobs. The police department was not so picky, and the Irish community got a strong foothold in the police department, and from then on, it has been a very Irish-friendly institution with a long Irish heritage.

    The character of Frank Costello and his involvement with the FBI was very strongly inspired by the story of Whitey Bulger. Bulger was a gangster who rapidly climbed the ranks to become the head of organized crime in Boston and stayed there for decades. Everyone -- EVERYONE -- knew that he was a murderer, pimp, extortionist, and thief and the whole city wanted him put behind bars, but nothing ever stuck on him -- and the reason for that was that he was an FBI informant from way back, aided and abetted by the FBI to climb to the top and stay there. They constantly ran interfernce for him and kept the local police from bringing him down. Finally when the local and state police were going to arrest him, the FBI tipped him off so he could run and stay free for several more years.
    During the time he was an FBI informant, he committed or ordered to be committed an unknown number of murders (but certainly well into the double digits), all aided and abetted by the FBI. It is one of the most disgraceful and sickening episodes in American law enforcement history, and that's saying something.

    I'm a flight medic on primarily helicopters, one time our company lent an aircraft to be used in a hospital drama. So, when I was on set with the aircraft I sort of became the defacto technical advisor, they had ZERO interest in doing much of anything realistically. The one actor playing a medic did ask me what I would say to the pilot to get him to fly faster? I replied that that wasn't a thing since we always fly as fast as we can in the first place, otherwise, why would you call me? He didn't like that answer and asked anyways in the episode (which I understand, a speaking roll!), there were sooo many other examples of it though and I was only there for 1 day!

    When you compare this to many other films, in terms of character development, the script, and the complexity of the plot, this is on another level which I think does exemplify Martin Scorsese's body of work when you think of Goodfellas, Wolf of Wall Street, Gangs of New York, the last two also starring De Caprio of course. Whilst it's been a while since I last saw this, it still stands out in my mind as being incredibly gritty, raw, and a very developed storyline, even if the concept on the face of it is simple.
    I didn't know that it was a remake until George mentioned it. Other research says that it is also loosely based on the real life Boston Winter Hill Gang, which involved a corrupt FBI agent John Connolly.

    The bagpipe connection with certain police and firemen units goes way back to the first police and fire departments were being formed in early American cities by Irish immigrants. The movie is also loosely based on actual events of the Boston Winter Hill Gang with Jack's character based on mob boss Whitney Bulger and Matt's character based on corrupt FBI agent John Connolly.

    Collin was looking at Madolyn in confusion at Billy's funeral. About why she was there, how she knew him and why she was so upset. You can tell by his face he is piecing it together. Then he asks her about the baby. I think it's implying it's Billy's kid, not Collin's. I believe the envelope contained the documents Billy was talking about on the roof. We only heard the tape; we didn't see the documents. I think it also had a note from Billy telling her to go to Dignam with it. When Billy died, I think she gave the documents to Dignam. Still, he figured after everyone died and treated Collin like a hero, and since Dignam resigned from the police, he couldn't prove it, so Dignam decided just to murder Collin.

    Technical Editing note - I really like how at the end you minimized the separation between the two of you, making it feel almost like you were in the same space. I also like the "zoom in zoom outs" that you did in post to give more dynamics. What I would recommend as an experiment is to replicate those zooms in the other footage to make it seem more cohesive. Really curious to see what that would look like. Also, I wonder how well it would work if you each placed the same real world vertical object on your tables whilst filming at the edge of each of your frames when they are aligned side by side. Simone’s on screen right and yours on screen left. Then you could split that object down the middle when compositing and it would really look like you were in the same room. Especially with the identical post zooms. It would take a bit of work though, because you’d need to add a third masked layer of the other room to fill in the gap of the room where your layer size and horizontal position shift whilst “zooming” went beyond that footage’s scope. Damn, now I’m really curious to see how that would work!

    Third hand information but a friend of mine, working in the HK movie industry, knew someone who went with the Inferno Affairs director to see the Departed in the cinema, (the director apparently) was not happy with what he saw, swearing and what-not coming out of the cinema.
    I remember agreeing with the sentiment at the time that the Departed lost (for me) the most central part of what made Inferno Affairs great: the symmetry/strong similarities between the "good" guys and the "bad" guys, hence the tagline. It has been close to 20 years so perhaps I should watch both movies again to see if I spot something new or still feel the same.
