Exactly just like breaking bad. Whitout those flipping phone the phone conversation would've not as badass. There is something about flipping phone that made phone conversation in serious film make more dramatic.
The acting, writing, directing, and editing of the scene to build such tension most of all. How long to let the phone ring, how much DiCaprio paces, how long he and Damon stare at the phones in silence, all was perfect.

the vibrating, the snapping, the phone tag, the cryptic dialogue, the cat and mouse aspect of the movie nearing the fever pitch... this movie is beautiful
@Osman Yousif Yeah I heard somewhere that it was supposed to be a running theme throughout the movie. If you notice Costigan and Queenan are both in scenes with Xs and they both obviously die
I like how Costigan immediately knows something is wrong when Sullivan tells him Dignam "went on leave because he's upset". He knows Dignam well enough that he isn't the type to do that. It says a lot about Dignam's character. He may have been an ahole and a bully, but he was a good cop you could depend on at the end of the day.
This scene would not work at all today with regular smartphones (well, it's Scorsese, so he'd figure out a way) but the sounds of the flip phones are part of what makes this scene so suspenseful.
At 1:30 you can see the phone on Sullivan's desk on top of a police report. You can't see the writing here because the vid is too low quality. If you look on a good quality video you can see that the report is about COSTIGAN'S UNCLE, Joseph Costigan. We don't see the full text but it says something like 'Mr. Costigan has agreed to act as a....and will be released after ar... This tiny detail suggests that Costigan's uncle was also an informant! This is huge because the mob's whole reason for buying Costigan's story was that his family had mob connections. (I came here to watch the scene on TH-cam as I'm analysing it and I wanted to see people's comments)
When they make cop movies, spy movies, criminal/gangster-movies or whatever they gotta have it set between like 1995-2005. It’s way more immersive seeing older tech, i love tech but for some reason it always takes me out of a movie seeing people use smartphones etc
I've been considering watching the Departed lately but holy shit, they took a very tense and well-acted sequence in Infernal Affairs and made it three minutes long for no damn reason.
I love how Billy is downing a bottle of wine when they first cut to him. Man just went through a break up so it shows everything you need to know about how he's feeling haha
U called this number on a dead guys phone who are you Idk why but That line was lit commin from Leon This was just a simple yet natural scene just seen this movie everyone was Fuckin lit in it
Ok so here's my interpretation of what Scorsese wanted to convey : When the phone, which Dicaprio used to converse with the cops, begins to vibrate, it's shown to vibrate towards the red phone, given by Costello. Indicating that the two ends were finally coming to meet. Or maybe he wanted to signify the call coming from Costello 's rat through the dead guy' s (a cop) phone.. PS: My English needs improvement but i hope i got to put my idea across!
Imagine if Tobey Maguire saw Matt Damon take down Leonardo DiCaprio (in a movie,cause IRL it would be very bloody),and Ben Affleck tried to defend Matt;we'd see freakin awesome fight between Spiderman and Batman over avenging their friends!
What I still don't understand till this day 13 years on 1st watching the movie is why did Colin not alert Costello that He has the number if the rat they were looking for? Colin legit could have traced that call and given the details to Costello and that would have been the end of Billy.
I'm pretty sure Costello knew Costigan was the rat. But he wanted Sullivan to go down too. Costigan mentions this in the end when he attempts to apprehend Sullivan.
flip phones where made for these kind of scenes.
the snapping shut was the equivalent of slamming down a landline phone.
also, pressing end call or swiping the thumb across the screen on a smartphone doesn't have the dramatic effect.
Ash 928
You have to crush the damn thing in your hand to have that effect.
Exactly just like breaking bad. Whitout those flipping phone the phone conversation would've not as badass. There is something about flipping phone that made phone conversation in serious film make more dramatic.
hell yeah!!!! sometimes I miss my flip phone.
With the new folding smart phones, it could be argued
Really is a good example of "Show don't tell" you can really tell what each character is expressing based on the minimal dialogue in the scenes.
The acting, writing, directing, and editing of the scene to build such tension most of all. How long to let the phone ring, how much DiCaprio paces, how long he and Damon stare at the phones in silence, all was perfect.
Very little dialogue, yet still such a great scene.

0:34 when your job calls you to come in on your day off
😂😂
Dicaprio and Damon in this scene reminds me of Pacino and deniro in heat
Whoa whoa whoa let's take it easy there bud.
Love the comparison. Good call
the coffee scene yeah
One of the most epic undialogued scene between two great real men actors in the entire universe of movies.
This movie was masterpeace
Yeah not too sure. There's a bunch of holes in the script. For instance, why didn't Leo whisper or disguise his voice when talking.
@@skygriffin1317 because his character developed ligma from smoking too much cigarettes

Wow, when isolated, what a phenomenal scene. Especially the parts without dialogue.
the vibrating, the snapping, the phone tag, the cryptic dialogue, the cat and mouse aspect of the movie nearing the fever pitch... this movie is beautiful
The suspense in this scene is out of this world
One of the best scenes in cinema history!
Mr0strich it's a great scene but you're over exaggerating.
I'd rather say one of the most tense movie scenes
fuck off
@Osman Yousif Yeah I heard somewhere that it was supposed to be a running theme throughout the movie. If you notice Costigan and Queenan are both in scenes with Xs and they both obviously die
Not one of the best while this scene is world's best movie scene ever .

Look at the editing when Bill is packing his stuff. Beautiful! Fantastic scene
Thelma Schoonmaker deserved every ounce of that Oscar.
@@Bluemgwes Thelma goes Goddess mode when it comes to Scorsese
the editing IS the first call. The tension is totally in the cuts and in the pacing. Astonishing
The original had overly tense music during this scene. Works SO much better with silence. I was literally sweating the first time I saw this.
This scene would not work at all today with regular smartphones (well, it's Scorsese, so he'd figure out a way) but the sounds of the flip phones are part of what makes this scene so suspenseful.
Not true, you can REALLY emphasize the finger slide answering the call, then the audible click of the side button when hanging up!
what a load of shit
Flip phones are coming back! There's foldable touchscreen phones now.
@@matthewriley7826clicking the side button doesn’t hang up the phone lol

Jon Evans
His uncles name is “Jackie”. Not joseph
Sorry it says John not Joseph. The police report actually says 'John "Jackie" Costigan' - meaning Jackie was his nickname.
Awesome!
As soon as that phone rang I was screaming “get the hell out!” Nothing scarier than a corrupt FBI agent.
a corrupt CIA agent?
A corrupt president?

best scene between two gorgeous actors
That shit happened to me when I saw that someone else uses my dead friend's mail.
This movie is a love letter to flip phones.

Blackhat is modern with its tech and I love it. One of my favorite crime films
Imagine a snapchat version of that
I'd have rickroll'd him. Goodbye tension XD
This scene has to be the scariest scene where his identity is exposed
I've been considering watching the Departed lately but holy shit, they took a very tense and well-acted sequence in Infernal Affairs and made it three minutes long for no damn reason.
Tense? The scene in infernal affairs was a bad joke. They made it three minutes long because it builds tension
Leo is true Scorpio. Don't trust anybody.
dude stated packing up to run to another state!, paranoid AF!- but with good reason!😂
Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean people aren’t out to get you…
@@matthewriley7826 Everyone ended up “on a leave of absence”😂
One of the best scenes in the film imo
0:56 That's exactly me getting a call from the bank
From 0:25 to 1:15 is exactly how late night phone calls with bae go 😆😆😆
I love how Billy is downing a bottle of wine when they first cut to him. Man just went through a break up so it shows everything you need to know about how he's feeling haha
U called this number on a dead guys phone who are you
Idk why but That line was lit commin from Leon
This was just a simple yet natural scene just seen this movie everyone was Fuckin lit in it
This phone call scene was actually very funny with the intense silence and all😄😃😀
Ok so here's my interpretation of what Scorsese wanted to convey :
When the phone, which Dicaprio used to converse with the cops, begins to vibrate, it's shown to vibrate towards the red phone, given by Costello. Indicating that the two ends were finally coming to meet.
Or maybe he wanted to signify the call coming from Costello 's rat through the dead guy' s (a cop) phone..

This scene is my all time favorite ,it among world's best movie scenes.
I miss those phones. Getting bored of smartphones
EgoBrainiac 1 you'd be even more bored with those phones, you realize that?
I like my smartphone. I can put music on there. Play scrabble.
EgoBrainiac 1 how you watching this scene then
Let's go back to smoke signals.
I am just saying, it will only take one EMP blast.
I like how Leo packed up his most important s**t.
0:29 talk button has blood.
0:31 blood from talk button, disappeared
Best scene in one of the best movies of all time, i struggle to choose between it and goodfellas.😃😃😧😧
Badfellas is overrated af
I just love that moment when one of them had to speak on the phone first amazing scene!
0:17 TALK button bloodied, 0:20 TALK button clean.
How I treat scammers. They say nothing I say nothing and then you can eventually hear them breathing like something is going to happen....
1:15 to 1:26 me when I'm running late for work 🤣
Is this the only movie to star both DiCaprio and Damon together?
Yeah? -Colin Sullivan
He should have said have Dignam call me or have him meet me where I punched him...
Jason Bourne & The Wolf Of Wall Street
Meanwhile flip phones in Breaking Bad...
Best scene in the film
Why Dicaprio picked up the phone when he didhn't know who could call. I mean it could be the guys from his own gang looking for the rat???
Another person know about him being undercover.
Early 2000’s cell phones 😂
It was better like that. Today's smartphone are too invasive and too addictive
But what was the song in the start of the scene
WHO-AH-YOU?!?
That user name awfully close to costello🤫🤫
Continuity error at 0:18. Sergeant Sullivan smears blood on the talk button with his finger but in the next shot of the phone the blood is gone.
Apotheosis Maybe Sullivan cleaned it off in that split second

They are old phones.

Colin legit could have traced that call and given the details to Costello and that would have been the end of Billy.
Simple. Collin wanted out. He didn't want to be Costello’s puppet so he wanted to eliminate every single connection between him and costello
I'm pretty sure Costello knew Costigan was the rat. But he wanted Sullivan to go down too. Costigan mentions this in the end when he attempts to apprehend Sullivan.
@@michaelwong6050 no. Costigan was the only one he trusted
1:05 "So..... you wanted to kill me, huh?"
How does he know it’s the dead guys phone if the number shows up as restricted?
Would have been a good moment for a wrong number, right?!
It was only used to communicate with the captain
Easily the best scene of the movie. Too tense!!
Does anyone else laugh when they watch this scene? I mean, he answers the phone, they're both waiting for the other to say something.... .... ....LOL!
