The movie I most relate to.
|I don't know exactly what it is that makes me like this movie. The direction was impeccable, the acting was robust and precise. But I guess, more than most movies I just like the feeling. A melancholic despair and struggle to stay alive. Like most of the main characters, I find it hard to really know who I am and what side I am on. Living in a grey area is hard and wearing masks and changing them frequently to keep everyone fooled makes your bones feel old. The constant feeling that its all going to come crashing down on your head and any minute your going to get that call, or that knock on the door when they have come to tell you that got you figured out and its all over. That feeling that no matter how hard you try, you are living in someone else's story and your fate is as easily changed by the whims of more powerful and sometimes more monstrous people. This movie, about people with multiple lives and roles to play, played by people who are themselves actors is a meta-lesson that reminds us that the Bard said it best "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits..." And as Francis reminds us in the film "Act accordingly."

A Martin Scorsese Crime Thriller
|Directed by Martin Scorsese, the story of The Departed was adapted from Infernal Affairs, the original Hong Kong crime thriller film that gained overwhelmingly acclaims in Asia when first released in 2002. The film is considered to be Scorsese's masterpiece crime classic since the production of GoodFellas. This steelbook version has very unique art design compares to the regular dvd and bluray release, with a gun that has the profile of the city on top. The only thing that's missing is the inside arts of the steelbook, but nevertheless that brings the opportunity to customize it. I purchased this steelbook for $9.99 when it was on sale even I already have the regular versions, don't hesitate to get this if anyone likes the film because this would make a good collectible item on the shelf.
