I don't get how everyone here thinks that Jack figures out Leo is the rat in this scene? I always interpreted it as Leo fools him here by responding with aggression rather than fear. Anyone agree?
bragano9 of course. Otherwise he'd end up in the fackin maaarsh. Whoever formed the opinion that Frank knew Will was a rat and just kept him in the crew to just see what happens is not fit for criminal enterprise.
@@Muskateering no , if you watched the movie you would see that nicholson ended up trusting leo more than Matt damons character, giving the tapes to leo
100% man. Why would his lawyer give his insurance policy (tapes) to Bill if he figured he was the rat. He tested bill more than anyone else. He was the new guy. After he had that fake job in Gloucester he called Collin and asked him, to see if his disinformation made it through on his end. Which would have pointed to Bill being the rat. "It ain't Bill. No way, he says." It's funny, cause both sides used the same tactics to try and flush the rat out
this movie is like the godfather or goodfellas , you can be eating a turkey sandwich and find it playing on tv and tune in to any part and just sit and enjoy it , even if it's only for 20 minutes.
not even in the same ballpark as Good Fellas. This could have been a very good movie without Nicholson. The Departed is the most overrated movie in my lifetime.
For Leo? Nah. Overrrated for most of his career. He got the one for Revenant out of sheer pity and because it was somewhat of an artsy-fartsy performance and film. Should have gotten one for Wolf of Walstreet, if at all.
The gun falling to the floor is just so unbelievably perfect. The range of emotion Leo has to go through from literally his last word before it hits the floor to his rant to stay alive and convince Frances, all in like 25 seconds. 10s across the board.
I mean he makes a convincing argument, “Dude you’re 70 years old running drugs you know this only ends one of 2 ways…. but I’m not the one who wants the empire”
It’s perfect. According to the script, Leo thinks he’s being a badass. Just like the character would. Until that gun hits the floor. Then he remembers who he’s dealing with.
It’s a crime Leo didn’t win an Oscar for this performance, you can feel the stress and the fear in his face. DiCaprio is the finest actor of his generation, he’s the Jack Nicholson of his generation.
Leo's acting in this movie is in his top 3 performances of his career imo. They should have campaigned for best actor im sure he would have been nominated, Maybe even ahead of Blood Diamond.
You left the best part out of this scene were Jack Nicholson makes a rat face expression while he's talking to leos character abt athe snitch amazing acting
2:00- He knew Leo would because of how he responded to the fact there was a rat in the outfit! He was defending himself with an aggressive passion and didn't stutter or shake one bit! Remember he told the police shrink earlier he never shook despite the fact his heart rate would be jacked up. He knew how to deal with mass murderers and how to respond in my opinion.
Best scene in the movie, hard to believe this was unscripted if it was jack is a genius. This is chess vs checkers, as if he was waiting for the reaction he got from leo and... Checkmate
Ya at this point I would not be convinced he wasn’t the rat, and he’s the new guy so fuck him. He shoulda been killed there and then but he only looked out for the spirit of Jackie and thought he could make another guy in the fbi/police his man on the inside. That’s the only way he could keep him around so there you go.
It’s a very powerful performance, Leonardo DiCaprio has become a great actor, but Jack Nicholson has a presence on stage that just dominates a scene. It’s a shame the “Rats” monologue was not included…
@@strongwise1255 wahlberg. Wahlberg. WAHLBERG just because!!!!!!!!!!!! Actors, and anyone else in any other profession are like off brand items; they’re built to last, they’re the greatest while the quote on quote name brands are only to flock the sheep who chase names to feel important. You want the best? Look for those who didn’t win Oscars for brilliant performances, and you’ll find them.
He didn't get nomination because he had already got over dozen nomination and all time high 3 Oscars by that time ..academy tends to ignore not to insult but to give chance to other actors ...if u remember then even robert de niro didn't get nominations for Irishman because it was consensus that it was time of jaquine phoenix. .he has been waiting for so long ....these actors understand this ..it's not unfair. ..it's just more fair to other actors
Two legends from different generations, playing off each other was so dang perfect! This movie probably has one of the most talented casts of all time!
Jack has the playfulness and spontaneity of a child. He's willing to go the extra mile in excess or to pull back. Either way, he doesn't care what people think. He makes them think!
Probably the best unscripted scene of all... The gun falling to the floor was just perfect... Jack pointing a real gun on Leo just to get a reaction out of him... And the script didn't have as many Fucks in it. Too perfect
I always thought Billy dropped the gun here. Lol! He threatens to put a bullet in Frank and suddenly a gun hits the floor. Frank looks surprised, and then examines the gun like it's the first time he's seen it. I really thought Billy just had butterfingers and Frank ended up with his gun. It's funny and works both ways.
I always looked at this movie as a film about fatherhood. Costello looked at Bill as the son he never had and he viewed Matt Damon’s character as the son he never wanted. Damon’s character was looking for costellos approval and Bill was looking for captain queenans approval
Two of my all-time fav actors. I will watch every piece of work they do, because i trust their choice in stories and their talent to convey it brilliantly.
In the Hungarian Dub of this film, Costello says: "Kibaszott patkányok a sírba visznek." Translation: "Fucking rats are gonna be the death of me." (Not the exact translation, I edited so it would be more understandable) And guess what? Costello was killed by his own rat.
I’ve watched this film countless times over the past 11 years and alwyas loved the fact that he drops the gun somewhat carelessly whilst Leo is trying his tough guy act. For some fucked up reason the idiotic act of dropping his gun exactly at the moment is SO much more int intimidating than just pulling it out point blank. Fuck. Does anyone know if that was scripted?
This scene was actually real. He pulled a real gun on him to get the most sincere reaction on set. Look it up, they just went with it and never stopped filming lol
Frank actually respected Costigan. He needed Colin, didn't mind Colin, but never respected Colin **AND** for the reason Colin himself said was his greatest strength...Colin was a liar and you can't trust liars, ever. 🤷🤷
Frankly the whole "i ll put a bullet through your head like anybody else" sounded deeply wrong. Frank is the boss, Leo is the soldier and not a terribly important one with that (new to the crew, don t kill, no specific connection except the fact his family has roots here) . I just dont see how in real life a mob guy at the bottom get to live after saying that. This kind of illegal organization where a bad decision leads to jail or death can only work through compete respect to the boss. He should have been whacked on the spot or just a little after.
Loic Gavet Yes what he did was pretty Fucking unpredictable and crazy, but that's exactly what Frank is too. Either he'll take it the wrong way, or he'll respect it. He did the latter
Loic Gavet He's not just low man on the totem pole. Frank knows and respects his family. Especially his uncle Jackie. He comes from a certain lineage. It's partly what got him into Frank's circle.
At that point he decided to do something unpredictable because there was a good chance at this point they were going to figure out he was the rat, so he through a Hail Mary in hopes of throwing Frank off and him respect him for it
I guess a rat would burrow in and kiss ass when the boss starts to wise up to his presence, so for you to do something stupid like threaten the boss would clear you of suspicion? That's my guess.
@@dannyboy5008 I mean Billy did kiss Frank's boots by commenting "I base what I know on the assumption that you know what you do" or something similar when Billy tries to manipulate Frank into thinking that one of Frank's older associates is the rat.
It's not the sudden threatening with a gun itself, it's the clumsy dropping of that gun at first then Jack's expression that makes this gun scene improvisation work as a whole😅 Many other actors would have pulled that gun right out and thought "that must have looked so cool..."
I confess I had some trouble figuring out this scene. He comes up with the gun...I keep wondering if it was DiCaprio's, or if Frank was impressed enough that he dropped it accidentally. They way he points it at Will and then holds it up, it almost suggests "I've got your gun now sonny Jim." Or it might be "I'm the one holding the gun, stupid." Its a strange line: "You got something you wanna ask me?" Thought it was Frank was interrogating Will. Why would he have a question? The whole conversation is a little convoluted. Maybe its regional dialect. Out in the West, we don't normally use the phrase "Give them all up to the Almighty". I understand what it means, but the context here is a bit unclear. Don't get me wrong...its very compelling.
leo will NEVER be one of the greats? i don't think so. sure, nicholson is an oldie. he's been acting for a long time. his long career and great acting makes him a legendary actor. leo is still young and he's also an amazing actor. just because leo's acting experience is shorter than nicholson, doesnt mean he's not a great actor and will never be a legend. he has a long way to go and a long career ahead. wait until he's 70 and everyone's gonna call him a legend. and this kind of thing goes on and on forever between an old actor and a younger actor.
Showing Nicholson and his acting calibur is a treat, even at his old age. DiCaprio looks so lost on how he can match what he's doing. He's trying his best but he know Nicholson has this scene in the bag.

I'll do my best to explain but at this point in the movie Leo's character has been through a lot as an undercover cop inside the gang, led by Jack Nicholson's character. So much that it's taking a tole on Leo's mental health to the point that he's seeing no difference in murdering regardless if he's a cop, a criminal working under Nicholson, or as an average working man. The line is also a thematic reference from the beginning of the movie where Jack Nicholson tells a young Matt Damon "When I was your age they would say we could become cops or criminals. Today what I'm saying is this. When you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?" Hope this answers your question.
I don't get how everyone here thinks that Jack figures out Leo is the rat in this scene? I always interpreted it as Leo fools him here by responding with aggression rather than fear. Anyone agree?

-Frank, what can I get you to calm down?
-A little song, a little dance. Batman's head on a lance!

This scene always reminds me of the scene in Batman 1989 of Bruce Wayne and The Joker´s confrontation in Vicki´s apartment, when the Joker shot Bruce.

Did you know that from the 1:56 to 2:14 is improvisation?
Yalnız Birey liar
the important things, they don't smile or laugh. what a really best Actor Ever.. to good!
Observation: Jack's death scene as Frank Costello is a noteworthy reprise of his final scene as the Joker in "Batman".
@@jacknicholson5863 Am an admirer of Boris Karloff movies. "The Raven", a movie you made with Boris, Vincent Price and Peter Lorre... as far as I'm concerned is a comedy classic.
@@greglawrence8224 That’s good to know. Where are you chatting from?
@@jacknicholson5863 I'm chatting from Australia. What "neck of the planet" r u chatting from...and r u the "real Jack Nicholson" ..like as in the actor?
Anyway ....really enjoyed "The Shining".
@@greglawrence8224 of course I am, This whole conversation would be pointless if I wasn’t. Thanks very much for the compliments. Out of a little curiosity, What was your favorite part?
@@jacknicholson5863 Way too many great moments to latch onto a particular part. Hoewever an earlier role in a horror/comedy movie,"The Raven" was most memorable as Rexford Bedlo, where you played the son of Peter Lorre's character Dr Adolphus Bedlo.
Just came to watch this scene because of 9gag!

I think frank actually though billy knew about his ties with the FBI
Frank Costello was a ruthless Mob Boss ! Jack Nicholson was honestly amazing!
Jack Nicholson is beyond amazing in this movie. There, just had to say it.
So this is basically Leonardo DiCaprio talking to his older self?
When you're scared shitless but you know the only chance you have is to respond with aggression.
this is some amazing acting from both especially Leo omg
"in-FAH-mer"
Say it with me, Jack.
In. Foah. Mah.
Infoahmah.
His character’s from Boston, not New York
I just read that the gun Jack Nicholson is holding is a real gun. And Lenardo reaction is real
Can anyone explain what he meant by his "What's the difference?" take on committing murder? Never quite understood that.
I'll do my best to explain but at this point in the movie Leo's character has been through a lot as an undercover cop inside the gang, led by Jack Nicholson's character. So much that it's taking a tole on Leo's mental health to the point that he's seeing no difference in murdering regardless if he's a cop, a criminal working under Nicholson, or as an average working man.
The line is also a thematic reference from the beginning of the movie where Jack Nicholson tells a young Matt Damon "When I was your age they would say we could become cops or criminals. Today what I'm saying is this. When you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?"
Hope this answers your question.
Can someone tell me why Jack references the ‘Knights of Colombus’ in the beginning of the 🎥
