The Departed (2006) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction 

One of my favorite movies for sure. When Arianna said "The way I want Mark Wahlberg to show up outta nowhere and arrest this dude.", I had the biggest smile on my face lol

"The way I want Mark Wahlberg to show up outta nowhere and arrest him." You'll get that and then some, Arianna lol

Jack Nicholson had to remind some ppl he still had it

I always enjoy Maple's cry of "Arianna" when something upsetting happens, as if she expects her to fix it somehow.

I'll always remember the silent theater collectively gasping when Queenan was seen falling from the roof, the one character if any you might want to give a hug to.

"I'm the guy who does his job, you must be the other guy" is funny because Wahlberg ended up starring in the movie "The other guys"

The guy that shot Billy (Leo) is an underrated actor. You saw him in "The Pacific" he's also in a film called "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" it's worth a watch.

Maple yelling "Ariana!" at 48:00 like it was her fault that happened lol

This movie definitely deserved the five Oscars it won, including Best Picture and Best Director. One of the rare films where every individual involved was at the top of their game and running on all cylinders.

“I’ve just never heard people talk like this before” Girl, me either til I moved to Boston 😅

I absolutely LOVE the tone of violence in Scorsese's movies. It feels cinematic while feeling real, it feels serious while maybe even being a tad funny (in some moments, not always). It is often clumsy, in the way that real violence usually is, and that just adds to the *impact*. And Schoonmaker's editing just adds to it even more.

Arianna and Maple have really found a groove the last few months with their chemistry. It was a bit rough at first which is to be expected as sometimes they'd talk over each other but it's so amazing now!!!

I saw this movie in theatres when it opened - place was packed. Three hundred people reacted the way you two did when bullets started flying in that elevator

It really doesn't get better than Maple and Arianna together on a great movie...thank you for the nice day

As others have commented, this is based on the Hong Kong film "Internal Affairs." However it is also based on one of the worst law enforcement scandals in American history, the Whitey Bulger investigation. Bulger ran the Winter Hill Mob, the biggest gang in Boston, and literally everyone knew it. His huge slate of murders, extortion, drug selling, etc., etc., etc. was common knowledge. There was more than enough evidence to convict him a hundred times over, and the fact that he wasn't arrested was an ongoing scandal in Boston for years. It turned out he was an FBI informant the whole time, and the FBI not only shielded him from consequences, but abetted his crimes. When the noose finally tightened, an FBI agent tipped Bulger off to allow him to flee and remain at large for years more. The FBI agent in question had been nurtured by Bulger since he was a child, guided him through the police and FBI academies, and Bulger benefited from the man's unswerving loyalty -- basically Matt Damon from this movie. American law enforcement has been involved in a LOT of corrupt, dirty things, but this was among the worst.

This was actually not a Scorsese original, although great, he remade it from the Original movie Infernal Affairs

One of my Top 50 movies. Love The Departed. Such great performances.

38:06 still the most tense scene involving a cell phone of all time… and it’s a flip phone

Maple hard laughing at Jack Nicholson’s coked out face had me laughing just as hard as her 😭😂

It's so crazy how Scorsese just naturally makes at LEAST one iconic classic each and every decade. I don't think The Departed measures up to the heights of his greatest work, but even "lesser" Scorsese is better than most filmmakers great movies. The man truly has cinema in his blood.

Black Mass is great too, about Whitey Bulger's gang, Nicholson's character was based on Bulger.

So Maple, at the 23:11, the way they get those two shots in focus at the same time is they use a lense on the camera that does a front focus and a back focus where you can keep the up close shot focused in while keeping the background in focus as well. They use them a lot in Live Event Productions, that’s where I learned it!

"I thought that was his ass! Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh......." 🤣

One of my favorite movies of all time. Your reaction to "that scene" did not disappoint! 🤣 Great one guys!

“He sees the envelope!! Ten bucks says he sees the f***ing envelope, bro!!!”

Nice red X edit during that airport scene, editor! I see you lol

lol...maple was turned on the entire movie. Good reaction👍

Frank, in the crucifixion position, in the dumpster … one of the best images in a movie full of great images.

I loved how the girls were craving a romance scene so hilarious haha but i love how they got so into the story also. This movie is freaking awesome.

One of my favorite movie theories that I like watching this movie through the lens of is that Matt Damon's character is closeted. There's nothing really definitive to support it and it obviously doesn't have a massive effect on the overall story, but it does make some of his moments more interesting and could play with some of the undercover themes.

"90s office siren vibe" as soon as you said that I saw Ally McBeal in her - you nailed it.

This is by far my favorite reaction to this movie. Scorsese finally won his long overdue Best Director Oscar for this film.

The Departed is an American adaptation of the Chinese/Hong Kong film "Infernal Affairs" which had a few sequels. Both are great in their own rights.

Delahunt didn't say who the rat was because he didn't want Billy killed. He couldn't kill anyone, it just wasn't in him. It's more explained in a deleted scene but Scorsese wanted to leave it ambiguous. There's a RU-vid vid of the full clip and Scorsese saying as much.

Never noticed but Vera Farmiga is holding a banana when she's reassuring Matt Damon that "it happens to all guys".

I recently watched a clip of Jack recollecting about Roger after Corman died. He started legitimately tearing up and sobbing and it was shocking seeing a guy I’ve known on screen all my life being so raw and real.

21:17 😂 “can I talk to you for a second please?” 😂

I have interpreted the film that since Matt Damon's character is impotent; the baby is actually Leo's. Seems like justice to me!

James Badge Dale was great in the show Rubicon. I wish that show had more seasons.

infernal affairs : The film was selected as the Hong Kong entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 76th Academy Awards but was not nominated. Martin Scorsese remade the film in 2006 as The Departed, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture .infernal affairs was nominated for sixteen awards during the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards, winning seven of those categories. It also won the Best Picture at the 40th Golden Horse Awards, the 8th Golden Bauhinia Awards, and the Best Foreign Language Film at the 46th Blue Ribbon Awards.

"I've never heard people talk like this before." WELCOME TO EVERYDAY IN BOSTON

46:00 love how she puts the CD on immediately because she thinks Billy is trying to rat her out for the affair. And instead she discovers her bf is a crooked rat cop lol

"Why'd she just yank the dog away like that?" "Because he's got murder vibes." 🤣😭😭💀

One of my favorite movies of all time! Had a great time with you ladies!

Baldwin and Wahlberger in this are my favorite cussers in all of movie history

I’d highly recommend watching Infernal Affairs, the Cantonese film The Departed was based on. It has the same basic structure, but the tone, style, and thematic conclusions are extremely different. Incredible film in its own right. The Departed is one of my favorite films ever, but I’d have to give it a rewatch to see which one I truly prefer.

the original hong kong version had sequels, but the ending was different so a sequel worked. It wouldnt make sense to have a sequel to the scorsese departed

You may have recognized James Badge Dale from playing the role of Robert 'Peaches' Leckie in 'The Pacific'.

I watched this when I was like 15 maybe, and for years it was my number 1 movie. I love it so much. The twist and turns from Martin Scorsese are so damn good..

Arianna bringing up "spades" of all things 😆How could I love her any more than I already do? That is a game of my generation, and I know she's not my age! 💛

'twins...where have you been?' LOL

“LIFE IMITATES ARTTT!!!” lmao great reaction

"office siren" is such a specific but great word to use lol

FYI that shot you mentioned uses a split diopter lens to achieve two focal lengths at once. Pretty cool thing to get in camera with no visual effects.

This is my first time watching a video on this channel - and im embarrassed to say I think i am legit in love with this beautiful Maple girl. As an amateur filmmaker and film buff, when she pointed out the dolly pan i was like 'of course ill probably never get to meet her... the perfect woman..."

The Departed is a remake by Scorsese, the original is Infernal Affairs (Chinese film from 2002)

Black Mass is an interesting movie to watch because its about Whitey Bulger who is the inspiration for the character of Frank Costello and stars Johnny Depp. This movie is basically a remake of the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs.

"I've never heard anyone speak like this". . . Ya, I'm from the northeast originally. It's an acquired taste, they don't pull punches, and they always speak their mind. It's alot for some people. I had to adjust when I moved to the Midwest lol

Great reaction! Glad you both enjoyed the Departed. Film that stands over time.

What if, when the credits rolled, "Good Vibrations" song by Marky Mark started? That would have upped the caliber of this movie to platinum if you ask me.

41:36 lol that’s the best reaction to that I’ve ever seen 😂 . Didn’t expect that big of a reaction for that act

James Badge Dale played "Lucky" Robert Leckie in The Pacific. Arianna

When the title is The Departed, expect a lot of…departures.

this is one of my all time favorite movies,awesome reaction. I think whether the guy who died on the couch was a cop or not can be left up to interpretation. Maybe he really was undercover and thats why he didnt rat out Leo. Or maybe like Costello said "the cops are saying hes a cop" to throw them off the trail. He was dying anyway, maybe he just liked Leo and didnt want to get a young guy like that killed, maybe he was feeling guilty about the life he led in his final moments

47:41 _"Why is Matt Damon always the bad guy?"_ He's not. He's very rarely the bad guy.

Leo DiCaprio and director Martin Scorcese preceded this with Gangs of New York. I also recommend watching American Gangster and The Sopranos. For a more comedic performance by Jack Nicholson, I recommend watching Anger Management

Anyone else watch this back to back with Hold Down A's Full Metal Jacket reaction have the urge to play Guitar Hero now?

Arianna was so freaked out by the final elevator scene that her hand distorted space and time!

The lady who went on a date with the pinstripe suit is Vera that comes out from the conjuring and those haunting movies lol

Jack Nicholson came up with the “she fell funny!”

Such a fun and wholesome movie! Can't wait to watch the reaction.

Fun fact: I had a day off due to the scene with the firecrackers during the "Costello is an FBI informant" scene. It was filmed at my elementary school.

Oh, what’s his name? I know him. I know him too. I didn’t know …wait who is…it’s going to drive me crazy if I can’t remember his name. Alex Baldwin! Meanwhile there is dialogue going on, but hey, we’re watching movies so we can pick out the guy who played the president in TV show.

2:31 "that's someone too, right?" -Arianna they're all someone. 🙂

Was waiting on the edge of my seat to see y’all react to that elevator scene, y’all didn’t disappoint 😂😂

Whoa, I learned something today about camera work. (Split Diopter method at 23:19)

I am sure your state police are doing that. You think of them as highway patrol and ticket writers because that is what is at the forefront and most newly graduated troopers have to serve in patrol for the first few years of their career. State police agencies always have some specialized divisions. Detectives, task forces, gang units, counter terrorism and swat teams.

50:16 *Marky Mark's You Gotta Believe starts playing*

Wait there was a movie? I didn't see it because Maple won't put ALL THE CLEAVAGE away.

I saw this and blood diamond close together and it made me realize how great of an actor Leo is

47:56 is a movie theater experience I'll never forget

The screencap 😂😂😂 Yall are too funny.😁😁😆

The comment about the bad screenplay shows they don’t know the real life story of Whitey Bulger whose role was played by Jack with names changed of course. Scorcese took the original film Infernal Affairs and superimposed over the Gang world in Boston making relevant changes and developing the interwoven storylines. It’s actually a brilliantly done adaptation and excellent screenplay.

One interpretation is that Sullivan is gay (and closeted, obviously). This would explain his impotence, the assumptions of the real estate guy, and some of his awkwardness "locker room talking" with the other cops. It also casts a different light on Frank meeting him in the porno theater (is Frank aware?), and adds still another level of deception about identity.

Every Departed reaction is basically just a countdown to 'that' part.

it is still shocking to me how well they casted kid matt damon

I love seeing people react to “that moment”

One of the best ever. There isn't a bad part of the whole thing. I normally am not a huge fan of Wahlberg, but his delivery of "I'm a guy who does his job, you must be the other guy" has been a personal motivator in my work for almost 20 years now.

If anyone is interested in watching a great Irish mob movie watch 1990s " State of Grace" Sean Penn, Ed Harris, Garry Oldman , Robin Wright.

Great to see movies again on this channel

What an amazing movie. I was stunned when leo got shot, it literally came out of nowhere.

The twists, the turns, the bones, everything is unpredictable in this movie 😉

the departed is the remake of "infernal affairs" a hong kong movie starring tony leung (shang chi)

"What about the baby?" - It wasn't his baby, but Costigans. The movie also alluded to Damons character possibly being gay. Several comments about issues in the bed were brought up (ED) etc.

Great movie and so true. Every person I have known who went into crime paid a very heavy price. It's just not worth it. At all. Great reaction ladies.

I’m still emotionally recovering from Leo’s death

The movie was nominated for 5 Academy Awards and won 4/5 Best Picture Best Director Best Adapted Screenplay Best Film Editing Mark Wahlberg was nominated for Best Supporting Actor and he SHOULD'VE won!! So deserving!! This movie was spectacular!

Maple and arianna are vibin in this one

This is such an incredible film.. arguably the best from the 2000s IMO..

The original movie this is a remake of is a Hong Kong movie called Infernal Affairs. There is a South korean version called New World which is slightly different but similar. You should react to that too (requires english subtitles).
