The Departed - a scene that was out of the time line
The Departed is a very good movie- I've seen it four times and I notice new things each time. One scene bothers me, though, and I'd like to get other people's thoughts about it.
There's a scene in which Madolyn & Colin are in the new apartment & he sees the picture of her as a child. There's a knock on the door & she says "The movers are here". Later, Billy goes to Madolyn's house. Her furniture is there and Billy handles the same picture that we know has already been moved. If anyone has an explanation, I'd be interested.

Great point! But not really the point. rather, it was the treatment of the object by each character.

Yes, I noticed the same basic error. Poor. Although we'd like this to be a great film, we find editing mistakes, spots of bad acting, crappy dialogue, chessy last shot, nothing to say, etc. Still doesn't mean we can't enjoy it, but . . .

Thats a good point. I sat thinking about that for a while for possible reasons, but I don't see any. At first I thought, well DiCaprio saw the picture after she decided to leave him, but thats not the case. More investigation is necessary
