For real!!

I was genuinely pissed at that scene

Have you seen Infernal Affairs as well? First time I watched The Departed I was halfway through like "I feel like I've watched this before" lol.

@@PinkyStyleHS yes! it’s just as good if not better.

@@BrandonLikesMovies Thanks for responding! Love the channel keep it up! (btw it would be cool to see some more foreign films like seven samurai or city of god)

Him being oscar nominated too Which not many bring up about this film. Like the critics still barely take him seriously.

I am not a Mark Wahlberg fan but he definitely put in a good performance here.

@@k.delpino1124: He probably doesn't have much range, but with good direction, the roles he can play, he can play the shit out of.

Boogie Nights will IMO always be his greatest role, but this is goddamn close. He’s out of his fucking mind for every line he speaks, in the best possible way. Also I would weirdly put the other guys up there, just for the fact that I had no idea he could do comedy so well and go line for line with ferrell

@@sallyatticum agreed. He’s more miss than hit with me, but he killed it in this movie

Nah, most important is the story.

@@skywillfindyou , Infernal Affairs had a better story.

Most of Leo's acting is 10/10. He should have way more Oscar's then he has. 1. And the one he won for is far inferior from many of his other roles.

@@trumphatesyou nah bro the revenant was so good and we'll acted.

@@saphired02 Yeah but compared to some of his other roles... I would have preferred an Oscar for this... Inception.. Shutter Island... Wolf of Wall Street... There's so much more

I felt the same way. This movie made me realize how good of an actor he is.

This and Wolf r his best

I don't exactly think it's his best, it certainly one of the his best and definitely my favorite of his performances. This just felt so different from all his other roles and really felt like he was maturing as a actor at this point. He should've definitely been nominated for this over Blood Diamond but the Academy likes accents so.

Blood diamond as sad as the film is, is probably my favourite Leo performance.

Once upon a time in Hollywood is his best I think, particularly the western scenes

I know right, I remember in my senior year of high school I was in a film class and we watched The Departed. Out of like the 15 students in that class I was the only one who actually saw this movie before. We watched it over the course of like 3 days and I was just waiting for this part to see everyone's reaction. When Leo got shot everyone's jaws dropped, girls screamed, and me and the teacher we're the only one's laughing lol.

I had a friend spoil the big secret hidden in this movie to me before I saw it so with that in mind I saw it coming even though I've never seen the movie. Here's the secret, you can stop reading now to not get spoiled if you see an X it means someone's about to die.

@@jonjay2909 It's pretty cool that they let you watch an R Rated movie in high school. It wasn't a TV version of the movie was it?

@@joemckim1183 Nope it was the full R rated version without any cuts at all. We also watched Sliver Linings Playbook, Baby Driver and Whiplash that year too, all movies I never seen before and fell in love with after. We also watched Moonrise Kingdom that year too I didn't really like it that much. Yea it was pretty cool to be in that class. I guess they figured we're seniors, we can handle it, we did have to get a permission slip signed by our parents saying we can watch R rated movies tho.

Yeah, I'm being honest, but the scene just doesn't make sense. When I first saw this movie, I thought IT WAS a masterpiece of Scorsese, but today, it all doesn't come for me. Don't get me wrong, the cast was an A-plus, and I enjoyed some of the concepts it brought in, and Martin Scorcese for once created a perfect Macguffin for the film (the micro-processors), and I will say the cellphone scene was probably the best part, but as far as execution goes, I don't think it was that good, especially during the 3rd act and climax. Now don't get me wrong, the elevator scene was the most shocking twist that made me drop my drink when I saw it. Like the first time I watched The Departed, I didn't see that coming. But at the same time, it doesn't make any sense. Like how is Trooper Barrigan a mole? The movie establishes the Frank Costello met Colin as a kid, but when did Frank met Barrigan? And WHY was Barrigan doing this? Like there's no foreshadowing of Barrigan's motives. And yeah, maybe Frank did this to cover up his bases, and added a few moles in, just in case one mole got outed or didn't progress/make it far enough into the police force to be useful; but WHY does Barrigan know about Colin, but Colin doesn't know about Barrigan? I mean they were in the SAME training class, for crying out loud. Did Barrigan get turned later? I mean if we the audience are gonna go with the assumption that Barrigan's the mole and knows about what Colin's been doing and maybe Barrigan was only planted just to keep an eye on Colin, HOW does Barrigan know that Frank was an FBI informant? Colin, who has reached one of the HIGHEST RANKS of the State Police, doesn't even know about it and only found out about it due to a single journal entry from Captain Queenan. But that's because Billy told him, and Billy knew because some literal random drugged-up dude knew that he interrogated, because of LITERALLY WHATEVER REASON. I mean what's that dude's story? Now even if Barrigan WAS assigned by Frank to be a mole and keep tabs on Colin and that somehow he also snuck into the room and found Queenan's journal to learn that Frank's also a rat, in the film, Barrigan literally says, "Costello was gonna sell us to the FBI.". So HOW would Barrigan know that Frank was planning to sell them out? And WHY would even the FBI care? If Frank Costello was the FBI's rat and Colin and Barrigan were helping him, wouldn't Colin want to help Frank? Like would the FBI be psyched that Colin was doing the ground-work for them (I mean he keeps Frank out of trouble so they could keep giving him information.)? Also, the whole FBI plot with Frank being a rat, is only in The Departed BECAUSE of the whole bases around Whitey Bulger (who Costello's character is based on), which I can understand. But if I'm being honest, it really doesn't add anything to the film and would only make the plot sound more complicated than it needs to be. I guess Martin Scorsese and the writers thought that one of the themes should be what Mr French said, "It's a nation of f***ing rats.". Plus, once Barrigan kills Billy, then Brown, and then tell Colin that they have to stick together (But WHY exactly, if they're the only moles left?), Colin kills Barrigan? And for what reason? You see in the original movie Infernal Affairs, it makes sense, since Chan (who's suppose to be Billy's counterpart) calls the police to meet him at the building where he meets Lau (who's basically Colin's counterpart), so when Chan brings Lau downstairs, he's literally bringing him into police custody. Lau then kills the character who would be Barrigan's counterpart, because he needs a fall-guy, since Chan already told the cops he has the mole in custody. But in The Departed, Billy hasn't told anyone about Colin, not even Trooper Brown. So now that Billy and Brown are dead, there really is no reason to kill Barrigan. They really could have both gone home and left those two there. Also, if you pay attention to the scene when Colin tries to cover the mess, you have to ask yourself HOW Colin would come up with a story that would explain this to the police. He says Barrigan attacked him, but wouldn't they tell from forensics that Billy punched him? I mean, they don't even give us Colin's complete made-up story to the police for why he was there. It's just all not coming together.

"Boogie Nights" I'm dying to see Brandon (or somebody) react to. Mark Wahlberg is incredible in that movie (as is Julianne Moore, John C. Reilly, Alfred Molina....everyone is great in that movie!) :)

Beat me to it, take my Like

A homage to Scarface 1932!

Kelly Bills same! Absolutely loved it on Netflix

How did yall not get that?

wrong, because nobody cared about his death so he figured fuck them too.

It's not conclusively implied that he's an undercover cop. I don't think he was, anyway.

@@cm386464 the cops are saying he’s a cop so I stop looking for the rat.

@@cm386464 It's been a while since I saw the movie, but I read someone say that the cops planted that story in the news (or might've planted)

Infernal Affairs is honestly way better than The Departed.

@@osmanyousif7849 i still personally prefer the departed but infernal affairs doesn't have Jack Nicholson hamming it up which gives it a major bump over the remake.

@@eb2681 , still even with the cast giving it an A-Plus, I don't think this will go down as a Martin Scorsese masterpiece. Don't get me wrong, The Departed had it's moments, but story-wise and as far execution goes, I have mixed feelings about the 3rd act and climax.

@@osmanyousif7849 I'm with you my dude. Infernal Affairs is incredible (I like the Departed a lot but the original is superior)

@@osmanyousif7849 agree, its way better

As the kid of a cop, the fact the original is called "Infernal Affairs" hit very hard.

had no idea - have to check out the original now

I couldn't tell the Japanese actors apart often and totally lost the plot when I watched the original. Imagine if you had faceblindness and couldn't tell Matt Damon and DiCaprio apart from each other, watching this would be a mess :D

@@vaahtobileet nice bullshit racism. It's Hong Kong btw.

@@vaahtobileet What a shit take. Proudly broadcasting your racist prejudices to the world lol

Thats amazing man. Which parts were filmed in you apt.?

@@socraytes every scene in Jack Nicholson’s (Costello’s) apartment, like when he’s on the phone on the balcony, when he’s eating with Leo and takes the severed hand out of the plastic bag lol. It was really cool

@@GhostInPajamas Dude that is such a great memory to have, especially for a movie buff, but even if not. You be grateful haha

That’s creepy lol.

Its creepy that Ill be having a conversation with someone about something, to then get 30 ads for it in a day.

The Departed is actually one of the few movies he received american and international awards for. Not the significant ones but who cares..he didn't make campaign for it at the Oscar

Infernal Affairs has the better ending (won't spoil it here).

@@chrisfofficial I've thought that. But in truth, both movies have different cultural contexts, because they are different cultural representations of hell. For Martin Scorsese, hell is Christian: it's hierarchical and linear. In Buddhism, hell is circular. You have to be reincarnated many times in hell in order to escape it. So in The Departed, it makes sense that the two cops can escape the hell they live in by paying for their sins. But in Infernal Affairs, any good karma that the protagonist creates in hell, he has to carry it with him within hell. So Collin dying can be seen as Catholic penance. But in Infernal Affairs, penance doesn't free you from an infernal fate. You still have to live that fate. Hence Inspector Lau is a better person than Collin. But the consequences of his sins are heavier than those of Collin's.

Improvise means he did that without telling the cast and crew. He did come up with the idea on set, and pitched it to the director just before filming the scene. He did not "imorov" that take

@@JorbyTinky relax Jordy you know what he means

@@JorbyTinky I know it's not the correct term, I just used it because it's the most recognizable term and people would no what I meant when I commented this, the correct term would probably be ad lib.

@@JorbyTinky I think people use the term improvise as in they did something not in the script. Not that they're going in business for themselves and saying stuff in front of cameras without approval. Very few actors that're professionals would just go into an improv class while the cameras are rolling.

What scene?

@Brett Boller I just checked his channel and it looks like it's gone. Maybe KZfaq just decided it was 'naughty?'

AN also starred a young Harrison Ford and a 15 yo Laurence fishburn

I was going to mention this too. Just as he was mentioning the "stacked cast" he didn't recognize MartinSheen.

@Brett Boller i watched it yesterday so its there , maybe it was removed temporarily

Chinese yes but Hong-Kong is more suitable for the movie because of the movement , yes, it's brillant indeed :)

@@LoLDremmah Honk-Kong is a part of China, since the UK gave it back 1997.

Also based on Whitey Bulger

@@LoLDremmah 'Hong-Kong is more suitable for the movie because of the movement', maybe, but was it really worth you pointing it out, considering both are correct. Just seems a little smug, for no reason. Strange use of the word 'suitable' too by the way.

​@Uncle Ho That's not a fair comparacent. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of Chinn and maintains separate governing and economic systems from that of mainland China.

Check out the 1st video on the channel, I go through hundreds of movies I'd seen

When you figure out they grew up only watching Disney films.

@Uncle Ho it's hard to watch a movie when i don't know what they're saying.

​@@walterlippmann6292 I'm gonna blow your mind get ready : SUBTITLES

@@BrandonLikesMovies speaking of that first video just wanted say thanks for putting me onto a film called 'coherence' great little film.

The Aviator, What's eating Gilbert Grape?, The Departed and Revolutionary Road are the movies I really wanted him to win for and he wasn't nominated for two of them But The Revenant win was totally fine as well. Finally

Bruh thanks for reminding me of that movie and hell yeah, Brandon would enjoy it

I prefer the "Infernal Affairs" series to "The Departed"

Yes please show some respect to the original ugh I hate when the remake gets more attention than the original

The departed is a better film but both are good

Yeah! I somehow managed to see it before "The Departed". It came in an Asian cinema DVD box along with "Old Boy". 2 fantastic movies!

The better movie will get more attention PERIOD, a original isn’t more entitled to good views

I´d love to see Brandon react to The Fugitive, I agree, so rewatchable. Would not be surprised if Brandon has only seen Harrison Ford as Han Solo and Indiana Jones.

Yeah the Fugitive, over 30 times seeing it and I still pick out new things.

@@kateofone I've cancelled plans before because I was flipping through the channels and The Fugitive came on. It's like if I see it, I have to keep watching

I guess that transition is a subtle reference to Saving Private Ryan, where we get a transition from the older Ryan to the one played by Matt Damon.

Absolutely! I with I could like this comment 100 times.

Yesss he really should see that movie, nothing like it! So original, great and interesting like even just the dialogue alone is great and iconic. Its dark but also funny. Never a dull or typical moment.

The amount of detail in the scenes and backgrounds and on the sets and on the characters themselves is amazing.

@@wantutosigh1117 We can't stop here man, this is BAT COUNTRY! Gary Busey has a priceless cameo that kills me every time hahaha

If anybody here hasn’t read the book of the same title by Hunter S. Thompson you really should. One of my favourites and it’s absolutely hilarious.

Yeah definitely, he was just the epitome of a good working man of the law who really didn't deserve to die.

Probably reminds you of your father

Is that you R.R.R.? Ha ha

Bro I was literally scrolling through the comments trying to find this exact thing 😂😂😂

The way of the future.

Show me all the blueprints

And it's the one DiCaprio should have gotten an Oscar for.

@@Luggi83 100%. He absolutely deserved it that year.

I was about to sugest the same thing, Sexy Beast is a great movie. Both Ray Winstone and Ben Kingsley are amazing in it. Also, if you're reading this Brandon, please consider watching Dead Man's Shoes (2004): a low-budget Shane Meadows movie with a great performace by Paddy Considine.
