Scorcese. Legend. (But too violent for me.) Needs to learn subtlety.

That screenplay was confusing, and the Japanese story it was based on was the same way. I liked the acting in the movie. Nicholson was good, and Damon and DeCaprio were great, I thought. But all the violence, which Scorcese always overdoes, haunted me. I did like the big rat in the final scene, a statement about the pervasiveness of corruption in both crime and cop circles.

I fear they're going to give it best picture this year, and it really isn't best picture. Just most disturbing. A best picture need to have a really top-notch screenplay. But I think the academy may select it anyway simply because they think Scorcese's time has come.

The Departed I saw this movie and wow, movies usually don't leave an impression on me after its finished but this one did it was pretty fricken intense emotions that lingered after the movie ended. Now I have to watch the original: Inferno Affairs. This is by far my new most favourite movie! Im really surprised at the ating job Leonardo Dicarprio did. He's really matured as an actor since Titanic. All the actors were so good. Has anyone else seen this movie? I'm surprised there hasn't been a Rating: 5
