    Being from Boston, one of my favorite things about The Departed is just how well it represents that part of Boston’s history. It’s pretty comical seeing the cast, which was terrific in their roles, completely butcher the accent. Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg are the only ones who nail it, since they’re both from Boston.

    The reason Leo’s character is seeing the Psychiatrist is to go along with his cover story. Sheen says at the start “ you’ll do some time, see a state sponsored shrink, the whole 9 yards” she is a state shrink who also has police clients so Damon’s character meets her through that

    I love it when Mafia movies include other forms of Organized crime. Here we get a rare instance of showing the Irish Mob/Irish-American Mob as apposed to the usual Italian/American crime family's. Not only that but we get to see a deal between the Irish Mob and the Triads (Chinese Mafia). Let's hope we get to see more of these instances in future

    Hands down one of my favorite endings to a movie. I absolutely loved it when Mark Wahlberg popped Damon's character and strolled off like it was just a day at work. He knew that POS had something to do with Sheen's character Gettin killed and wanted that payback!!! Plus I loved the fact he let him see his face before pulling that trigger. That was one killing he wasn't gonna lose sleep over. Sadly in real life the Dirt Cop rarely gets caught or sent to Hell!!!

    Hey Michael, another great Mob Movie Monday. I love The Departed, have seen it several times. Once I watched on a flight from Houston to Boston on my iPad and then walked around and some of the places where the film was shot.
    Boston being much smaller than NYC, there are fewer crews. The movie leads me to believe there weren't really any Italian crews. The seen in the deli where Leo takedown the two guys from Providence hints that the Italians were trying to move in. I'm no expert but I've spent enough time and know enough people in Boston to understand that the Southies are pretty strong, tough people. Was Boston run exclusively by the Irish back in the day?

    One of my favourite Scorsese films and one of my favourite films in general. I really love how the film weaves this complex narrative together since we basically have two plots going on with both moles, both of which could have made their own great movies but William Monaghan’s script just so effortlessly brings them together without forcing it, everything feels so natural the way they come together and mirror each other. I also love Jack Nicholson in this movie, he’s clearly having a blast and I like how he’s the main thing tying the plots together. I also love Mark Wahlberg’s performance. This is really the first thing I’ve seen him in where he’s had to really act and he knocks it right out of the park. Great movie. Definitely one of Scorsese’s best.
    Also, the opening sequence is just amazing. Probably has one of my favourite opening lines of any movie “I don’t want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me.” And I love how the movie’s first line is this, and the last line is “Okay…” followed by a gun shot and then some sweet Roy Buchanan.
