One of my top 5 movies, no question. So is Goodfellas and Gangs of New York is a solid honorable mention. Marty sure can tell a great story, providing he has a vat of fact to draw from.
I don’t want to be a product of my environment… I want my environment, to be a product of me. One of the best opening scenes in all of cinema if you ask me.
The Hong Kong movie “Infernal Affairs” (not ‘internal’) was an amazing bit of cat and mouse filmmaking. I saw it about a year before “The Departed” was announced. Given Hollywood’s track record Americanizing foreign films, I was skeptical that he could match the original, let alone surpass it. He did by broadening the picture and turning characters that were basically set dressing into fully fleshed out characters in their own right. It was no longer just about two men undercover trying to learn who each other were. It was alive!
My favourite film, then Django Unchained, then Dead Man’s Shoes. I assume most have watched my top 2 but find a way of watching Dead Man’s Shoes as it’s great (although I am British)
This movie was a masterpiece. Usually I would say cast Jack Nicolson in any role and you have a hit. But this movie was just brilliant. And IMO all of the actors were great. Almost perfect. Just such a great movie. I could watch this movie a million times over.
Let's be clear, Costello (Nicholson) was NOT the antihero of the film, he's the antagonist. Costigan (Di Caprio) was the antihero, if anyone (arguably, he was a straight hero).
This is undoubtedly one of my favorite movies hands down! The story is absolutely incredible! The ensemble cast are some of the greatest actors of my time and before my time. And that shocking moment when that elevator door opening after Leonardo's character catches Matt's character, then the elevator door opens and Leo's head is blown off always gets me. I mean everyone meets their demise in this film, and it really adds to the name of the film "The Departed". I mean by the end of the film they are all dead. With the exception of Baldwin and Wahlberg. And Wahlberg, boy completely unexpected that first time watching it. Nicholson at the table eating a lobster lunch, at the same time taking a hand of a dead man, and taking the wedding ring off of it! The music as always is incredible! The running time goes by so fast ,and has such rewatchable qualities. If I see this movie on,forget it,two hours or so, I won't be doing anything. Definitely one of his best movies ever. Right up there w "Good Fellas". Scorsese is at the very top of his game on this movie. And it absolutely shows. And just so many big names in the movie! Just an absolute masterpiece!! And if you haven't seen this one yet!? Whoa! Find anyway you can view this film ,and watch it. It's truly incredible. I can't say enough about this classic. An instant classic period. And when you do see it you'll know!
Martin Scorsese is a legend and one of the best directors of our time. However, I refuse to refer to him as a God in Hollywood like they were saying in Cannes. F that. These are movies folks...
There is something about Scorcese movies that allows me to watch them over and over again. I can’t do that with many movies but his all seem to have that appeal.
My favorite director by far. I remember watching the Oscars that year, when Scorsese finally won I literally jumped out of my seat and screamed YESS!! and started clapping all by myself.
Amazing movie, amazing channel. Really enjoying your videos. I rarely get surprised in movies, which is why I crave a good plot twist that is actually unexpected. I really enjoyed the elevator scene as that catched me completely unguarded. The whole setup of the movie was really neat. Nicholson played an absolute lunatic.
I gotta be honest, I do not understand the hype. The story is ridiculous. So Matt Damon's character has been tied to the bad guy mob boss since he was a kid, but the investigation unit of the Police Department, who knew Leo's character's entire life history despite just being a kid with a dad from Southie, did not know that, and pushed him up quickly and never once realized the mob boss was literally at his gradation?
I literally found this movie flipping channels one night. Quickly became a favorite, and definitely made Leo my favorite actor. Such intensity. Amazing all star cast. Who gets that many top leading actors together in one film? Marty, that's who.
It's amazing how these things come together. It's also amazing how small Hollywood gets: you keep seeing the same actors over and over. Not complaining, because the movie is money. Not any of those involved best, but a good movie.
3:24 I actually heard from someone in the know in Hollywood that Nicholson's main condition was that his character MUST say the "n" word within the opening five minutes of the film.
Mark Wahlberg will NEVER top his performance in this movie. Scorsese made that dude. Mark has no acting that is as competent as his role in THE DEPARTED. This is why Marty is a god of film. Every scene Mark was in was classic and there is no other acting he has done quite like that, It's weird but that is the magic of Martin Scorsese. He was racist and did not take shit from anyone yet he is the hero of the film. His smart mouth racist attitude. There really are people like that and he fits well with that description. That felt more relatable than any other movie Mark has done coz clearly he has those attributes.
So, I watch a lot of these “Things you didn’t know about” (insert movie title here). Especially on Scorsese films. And every list seems to have the same regurgitated facts, likely taken directly from Wikipedia. But this is the first TH-cam video in that style that blew me away. I learned A LOT of new things about this movie I’ve never heard before. So, whatever your secret it, keep it up. Cheers!
This is by far your best video in my opinion... I liked your other works and I considered the Goodfellas one to be your best so far... however, this surpasses even that... great job... keep it up...
Ray Liotta woulda been too menacing. Wahlberg was just young enough and mouthy enough to be not taken too seriously. Brad Pitt would been SUPER interesting in this role. Sometimes I think DiCaprio overacts. Pitt woulda made it more cerebral. Matt Damon did a great job...but I don't know if he woulda been my first choice (Boston aside). Christian Bale? Johnny Depp? Ewan McGregor? De Niro as the bad guy here...hmm. I think it woulda felt too Goodfellas. Pacino wouldn't have been evil enough. Nicholson had the X factor here. Baldwin hit it out of the park (again) and Sheen was the perfect straight man to all the nuts around him. Vera Farmiga: YES. Can you imagine anyone else playing the character as well? Vulnerable but strong.
I dont think Departed was even his best work when you take into account Gangs of NY Raging Bull Aviator cape fear but with this great ensemble piece the academy could overlook Martin Scorsese no longer to not give him the award would be a travesty

You mean other than it being an almost word for word rip off of the 2002 Chinese film Infernal Affairs? People jack this movie off so hard when it’s just infernal affairs but set in Boston. But bc Scorsese did it, it HAS to be a masterpiece. Other than WoWS he hasn’t made a good movie in 30 years - & yes, that includes gangs of NY as being ass. DDL is amazing but the movie is ass.
I have to question the comment about the designing of the Massachusetts state police suits and the Nazi uniforms. The Nazi uniforms were designed by Hugo boss so we’re the Prussian uniforms………crazy
For some reason Martin Scorsese doesn't get any respect from the DVD manufacturers . Every DVD i bought I had problems with and it wasn't because of scratches . I dont mistreat my DVDs
I don't know why? But both Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon can't pull me into the story with the way they act. Even when all the actors are letting you immerse into the film. These two whenever they are present. It's the only thing pulling you out of the film constantly. And I feel they are both terrible actors.
Sometimes a little bit of chaos in making movies is exactly what is needed in a chaotic story. This movie came together perfectly seemingly through this chaos.
Can someone explain to me what Ray Liotta and his face was doing to turn down the role of Dignam in a Scorsese flick? Like was there was terrible romcom or idek
watched this movie for the first time a few days ago and it was damn good, but you can probably tell which movie of his i prefer. marty is the 🐐 no debate about it (yeah i know im late to the party on watching this i just never got around to it)
I think Departed seems original to the western audience due to the casts and directors. What a lot of people don't realise is Infernal Affairs is more original and a break through in the Hong Kong context as films around that time were too manufactured where both stories and cinematography are "lazy". Also The Departed has the original story changed Vs Infernal affairs where it has a prequel and a sequel (which was the 3rd installment). For me this is a "better" version of Old Boy by Spike, but definitely can't beat the original.

the movie sucks dick and so did someone to the academy board.
The music was great & made by: Scott Bollas.
I’m sure someone already corrected you @kolokinoclips, but the Hong Kong picture is titled “Infernal Affairs”, NOT “Internal”.
He definitely should have won an Oscar for Goodfellas!
Casino too
“I’m the guy that does his job, you must be the other guy!”
Favourite line in the movie.
So many good lines in this film. My friends and I always laugh at the bit about Puerto Ricans cause they are PR. 😅
"Did you have different accents? You little snake you were like two different people!!"
😆😆😆
"Don't laugh! This ain't reality TV" is such a great line from Jack in this movie.
I find that line funny by jack Nicholson
What he said before that was just as funny.
Possibly Marty’s best work. Finally won his Oscar for this one. Absolutely sensational cast, pace, writing, direction - unreal.
One of my top 5 movies, no question. So is Goodfellas and Gangs of New York is a solid honorable mention. Marty sure can tell a great story, providing he has a vat of fact to draw from.
Great movie, one of my favorites. I personally think Goodfellas is the best film Martin ever did, but that is just me.
The departed is excellent.
@࿘ COROA ࿗ a lot of people will insist Taxi Driver and Raging Bull are better then his other films. So many great ones to choose from.
For me, Goodfellas and The Aviator are Scorsese’s best work. Keeping in mind he doesn’t do anything bad …
I don’t want to be a product of my environment… I want my environment, to be a product of me.
One of the best opening scenes in all of cinema if you ask me.
Mark Wahlberg was amazing in this movie and was ignored thoroughly
BS.

It was no longer just about two men undercover trying to learn who each other were. It was alive!
This bugs me too.A lot of people get this wrong.Infernal affairs is a trilogy too.
The first thing I checked when I head “internal,” was to see if anybody else caught that. As said by @Adam J, this totally bothers me too.
Great post and so on point, i was the same as i watched the movie around a year before The Departed came out.
My favourite film, then Django Unchained, then Dead Man’s Shoes. I assume most have watched my top 2 but find a way of watching Dead Man’s Shoes as it’s great (although I am British)
100th like
I worked as a Extra on the Departed ..was a lot of fun ..20:takes of walking by Martin Sheen on a street, I nearly ran into him in one of them!
Was it when he was headed to 344 Wash to meet Costigan?
@@caseylayton4898 must be I think ..it is right before he is thrown of the roof wearing a green jacket.
This movie was a masterpiece. Usually I would say cast Jack Nicolson in any role and you have a hit. But this movie was just brilliant. And IMO all of the actors were great. Almost perfect. Just such a great movie. I could watch this movie a million times over.
Same. Might be my favorite film of all time
I have watched the Departed over 100 times and still enjoy watching it again.
Me too lol never gets old.
Let's be clear, Costello (Nicholson) was NOT the antihero of the film, he's the antagonist. Costigan (Di Caprio) was the antihero, if anyone (arguably, he was a straight hero).
I thought Costigan was a sacraficial hero. He didn't have to do what he did, but he gave his life
I never noticed the "x" marking a character for death 😮
This is undoubtedly one of my favorite movies hands down! The story is absolutely incredible! The ensemble cast are some of the greatest actors of my time and before my time. And that shocking moment when that elevator door opening after Leonardo's character catches Matt's character, then the elevator door opens and Leo's head is blown off always gets me.

Wow, thank you for your comment
"And if you haven't seen this one yet?! " don't worry you've just saved everyone two hours by spoiling the whole story well done.
@@kurtiscleary9759😂😂😂😂
Anyone reading the comments on a movie review should expect spoilers!
@@mr.donovan7440 this channel doesn't really specify certain points throughout the movie more so all the behind the scene elements.
Wahlberg, Damon and Dicaprio in one movie!!! The casting alone is amazing
And Nicholson. And Sheen. So many A listers.
The depahhhted.
Awards given by an industry celebrating itself really isn't very impressive at all.
Jack is just immaculate in this movie
Great video! I had never noticed the part about the X's signifying death but look forward to watching it again and can't unsee them now!
Imagine if Ray Liotta and Robert Deniro agreed to do this movie 😍😍
Nicholson ... option three? THREE? Jack #1, always. 🕶
Nicholson is an artist. Older I am the more I see it. And funny af.
Martin Scorsese is a legend and one of the best directors of our time. However, I refuse to refer to him as a God in Hollywood like they were saying in Cannes. F that. These are movies folks...
I thought the original was Infernal affairs
There is something about Scorcese movies that allows me to watch them over and over again. I can’t do that with many movies but his all seem to have that appeal.
Wahlberg turned down the role because he was pissed and wanted the lead role Dicaprio had. It’s nothing to do with basketball diaries.
I never knew about the Xs. What a great detail
My favorite director by far. I remember watching the Oscars that year, when Scorsese finally won I literally jumped out of my seat and screamed YESS!! and started clapping all by myself.
My favorite movie of all time
Same
I need to watch this masterpiece again
Amazing movie, amazing channel. Really enjoying your videos. I rarely get surprised in movies, which is why I crave a good plot twist that is actually unexpected. I really enjoyed the elevator scene as that catched me completely unguarded. The whole setup of the movie was really neat. Nicholson played an absolute lunatic.
One of my favorite movies of all time. In a league with No Country for Old Men and The Wolf of Wall Street.
I gotta be honest, I do not understand the hype. The story is ridiculous. So Matt Damon's character has been tied to the bad guy mob boss since he was a kid, but the investigation unit of the Police Department, who knew Leo's character's entire life history despite just being a kid with a dad from Southie, did not know that, and pushed him up quickly and never once realized the mob boss was literally at his gradation?
I literally found this movie flipping channels one night. Quickly became a favorite, and definitely made Leo my favorite actor. Such intensity. Amazing all star cast. Who gets that many top leading actors together in one film?
Marty, that's who.
Amazing that an Actor would turn down a role in a Scorsese movie, what was Liotta thinking.
BRU, you didn't even remark on the fact that the X markings in the film are a reference to the original Scarface movie with Paul Muni.
That strap on scene was absolutely hilarious
I like how you used clips from the Entourage episode where Marty called Vince to star in his movie after having a career low
How could Pachino turn down Scorsese when he ended up doing Jack and Jill with Adam Sandler? Lol
This movie is why I became a State Trooper
Its not Martin Sheen. Its Ramon Estevez playing an irish guy.
It's amazing how these things come together. It's also amazing how small Hollywood gets: you keep seeing the same actors over and over. Not complaining, because the movie is money. Not any of those involved best, but a good movie.
DeCaprio is unbelievably over-rated.
In this movie he sucks
3:24 I actually heard from someone in the know in Hollywood that Nicholson's main condition was that his character MUST say the "n" word within the opening five minutes of the film.
You've gotta be a cumtown fan lmao
I like how the dog didn’t like Matt Damon’s character.
I say thank you to whoever turned down this movie. It was perfect
vera farmiga is not mentioned in nay part !! she did a great job as well
The movie was a little to long and stupid in many ways
Mark Wahlberg will NEVER top his performance in this movie. Scorsese made that dude. Mark has no acting that is as competent as his role in THE DEPARTED. This is why Marty is a god of film. Every scene Mark was in was classic and there is no other acting he has done quite like that, It's weird but that is the magic of Martin Scorsese.

Mark’s a southie from boston theyre all racist 😂 not much acting there bud lmao
The Town was better than the Departed.
It’s hard to believe that was Scorsese’s first Grammy.
Arkin had it coming, but yeah.
Marty deserved the Oscar. ❤
Such an incredibly overrated movie.
Tom cruise would have sucked in that movie
Every person in this movie is on the top of their game, another masterpiece from the master film maker❤❤
So, I watch a lot of these “Things you didn’t know about” (insert movie title here). Especially on Scorsese films. And every list seems to have the same regurgitated facts, likely taken directly from Wikipedia. But this is the first TH-cam video in that style that blew me away.

Thank you for your feedback!
Marks character is my favorite in the movie
This is by far your best video in my opinion... I liked your other works and I considered the Goodfellas one to be your best so far... however, this surpasses even that... great job... keep it up...
Masterpiece. A cinematic gem
The Knights of Columbus were real head breakers
True Ginny’s.
Guinea's
dude.. it's Infernal not internal.
Originally Scorsese wanted DoucheNiro, but he was suffering from severe TDS and couldn't shake it off....still to this day 😂
scorsese's best movies all the good actors declined and then we got better actors
Ray Liotta woulda been too menacing. Wahlberg was just young enough and mouthy enough to be not taken too seriously.
Brad Pitt would been SUPER interesting in this role. Sometimes I think DiCaprio overacts. Pitt woulda made it more cerebral.
Matt Damon did a great job...but I don't know if he woulda been my first choice (Boston aside). Christian Bale? Johnny Depp? Ewan McGregor?

Vera Farmiga: YES. Can you imagine anyone else playing the character as well? Vulnerable but strong.

Bro wdym babylon was filmed in 2021 and the departed was filmed in 2006 how would they're be scheduling conflicts
it's basically Scorsese's Avengers.
Um what
Before this movie I thought Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg were the same guy.
For some reason Martin Scorsese doesn't get any respect from the DVD manufacturers . Every DVD i bought I had problems with and it wasn't because of scratches . I dont mistreat my DVDs
Infernal Affairs has two sequels. Got all three in Toronto Chinatown, Dragon City Mall for cheap. 😂 It was actually better than The Departed.
I don't know why? But both Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon can't pull me into the story with the way they act. Even when all the actors are letting you immerse into the film. These two whenever they are present. It's the only thing pulling you out of the film constantly. And I feel they are both terrible actors.
If anyone watched the Infernal Affairs, not even the trilogy, you'd know Martin butchered the original.
It’s taken me forever to find a physical copy of this on blu ray. The thrift store came thru! $2
Sometimes a little bit of chaos in making movies is exactly what is needed in a chaotic story. This movie came together perfectly seemingly through this chaos.
My favorite movie. Simply perfect
Can someone explain to me what Ray Liotta and his face was doing to turn down the role of Dignam in a Scorsese flick? Like was there was terrible romcom or idek
One thing you clearly don’t know is that the original is called Infernal Affairs…
Ben Hur 1959 was also a remake that won the top prize, that is some basic movie knowledge...do a better research.
The last Best Picture winner at the Oscars that was actually the best movie of the year. They went woke as hell after that.
watched this movie for the first time a few days ago and it was damn good, but you can probably tell which movie of his i prefer. marty is the 🐐 no debate about it (yeah i know im late to the party on watching this i just never got around to it)
I honestly loved this film but the last 40 minutes or so are utter trash.
Mark probably didnt like Leo because Leo can actually act. That said he did play a great Dignum.
…yea yea somehow all the glitz, glamor and paparazzi showcasing their malignant narcissism and mutual adoration kinda makes me vomit
the SS uniforms were absoluely not a replica of the MA state trooper unis..... myth
The rat was cheesy. It's like a comedien telling a joke and saying "so, uh, I uh".
I think Departed seems original to the western audience due to the casts and directors. What a lot of people don't realise is Infernal Affairs is more original and a break through in the Hong Kong context as films around that time were too manufactured where both stories and cinematography are "lazy". Also The Departed has the original story changed Vs Infernal affairs where it has a prequel and a sequel (which was the 3rd installment). For me this is a "better" version of Old Boy by Spike, but definitely can't beat the original.
Woah…bills werent added onto a transaction?
Is there a group that would make others share stories of crime, share them as if its more than story?
What do they do in that particular department anyway?
I would love to know what Jack Nicholson whispered into the young ladies ear in the convenience store when shooting the scene.
MARK WAHLBERG IS THE WORST ACTOR EVER. HOW HE GETS IN THESE MOVIES BOGGLES MY MIND BUT I GUESS PEOPLE WANT TO SEE HIM😂😂😂
Infernal Affairs* not Internal Affairs
Yes. This.
but if you leave the camera rolling…
Frank Costello is not an antihero. He is a straight villain stop miss using words.
Just a shame the film portrayed asians so problematically
Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were definitely too old for this movie
How is Frank Costello an antihero? He is a complete villain!
