  • The Departed: first thoughts

    The Departed  (2006)

    Great music. Great use of diagetic/nondiagetic sound and music. Nice parallels (grocer bags)

    Shot of the rat at the end felt a bit obvious.

    So why can I only make technical comments on this movie? There was one tense scene, and I felt bad for one character at a certain point, but it's -despite the irish roots- a fairly heartless movie. You don't really mind who kills who, or why. At least I didn't.

    Also, wasn't the point of this movie that you would root equally for both doubles? I only cared for Leo's character, and not even that much.

    Still, I shouldn't be too harsch. It's a well made movie about doubles. It has some pretty good performanced. Alec Baldwin and Mark Wahlberg should form some kind of comic duo. I'd definitely go see it. And Jack? Well, he's just...Jack. I have to say, I expected more from the "waving around a pink dildo part". As it was, I didn't even notice the color. But well, you can't really blame him, after all, "being Jack" provides most of his income.

    I wish I could swear with a (sometimes somewhat inconsistent) Irish accent.
