The Departed

Everyone’s lying. Everyone’s scared. Everyone’s pretending to be someone else just to survive a little longer. Martin Scorsese made paranoia look beautiful. The pacing never slows, it just keeps burning. Loved the camera movement, it moves like it’s hiding something. I loved the thing that how every conversation feels one second away from turning bloody. DiCaprio looks like he’s about to fall apart the whole time and you can’t look away, it gets you all hooked. Damon’s calm is fake in the most perfect way. And Nicholson? Man is as evil as always I fuckin love him He’s like a chaos dressed like a man. I never liked Crime films that much but this one? It’s not just a typical crime film, it’s not just a about cops and gangsters it's about losing yourself in the roles you play. About how pretending too long makes you forget who you were in the first place. By the end, there’s no justice. Just silence, and that feeling that everyone got what they deserved, even if no one really did. I’m the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy. — easily one of my favourite lines ever.
