The Departed is f*cking awesome. Great acting, great suspense. It rules!!

But it's Oscar season, and The Departed won Best Picture, so it's kind of a theme pick. Anyway, here are the sins.

Thursday: More Best Picture winner sins.

Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we expose next?!

I would've taken 100 sins off if, at the end, Mark Wahlberg tells Matt Damon's corpse "How do ya like them apples?" before exiting his apartment.

Another rat symbolism some people might have missed: when Costigan says "You don't have cats... I like that", its because he is a "rat". Nice.

God I always forget how incredible the cast for this movie was.

The tension & paranoia of being undercover with anyone that could kill you at any second is so strongly expressed by Leo. I was shocked he didn’t win an Oscar still after this.

@hunterwilder9665 5 years ago

He skipped over Costigan’s death scene because he knew he would have had to remove all the sins if he didn’t

8:40 Honestly a sin should be taken off for the "I'm the guy that does his job. You must be the other guy" line.

As someone who was 15 when that kind of phone came out, yes, you can absolutely type entire complex messages in your pocket.

The scene where he pulls a gun on DiCaprio who is completely unscripted so his facial reaction was actually genuine. He had no idea he was going to do that

6:25 Colin has Fitzy call and do the “wont be home for dinner line,” so that he can play it off and save face. If he calls Frank or French directly, he risks exposing himself. If he gives it to Fitzy and tells him to call, his coworkers are none the wiser, and he can make it look like he was just playing Fitzy and using it to get the phone number for a trace.

"You don't have any cats... I like that."

You actually skipped over taking sins off the amazing sequence of the dramatic rooftop standoff, killing multiple main characters of both sides within a minute where each is essentially a “holy fuck” moment?

Martin Scorsese always gathers such an impressive cast for his movies.

Frank cares about trying to talk billy out of the life because he knew and respected Billy’s dad.

I'm so glad you mentioned it, because one of the things that always bothered me in this movie, despite it being a sublime piece of cinema, is how unprofessional Madelyn is. She dismisses Billy's joke about killing himself, prescribes him pills even though he's drug seeking, then goes on to transfer him to another therapist, (this was actually one good thing), but she still sees him, complains about her boyfriend with him, and sleeps with him. It's nuts.
