THE DEPARTED (2006) SO MESSED UP!! | FIRST TIME WATCHING | (reaction/commentary/review) 

I really appreciate that thank you 👍

Did this well over a year ago, can’t remember sorry 😆

@@thecocoacouch just found your channel yesterday. Working my way through about 30 reactions lol. New to me. Just teasing by the way.

Oh yeah I’ve got some written down. I wanna watch Sisu so bad tho 😆

That’s crazy hey. It’s hilarious to me that they have industry standards of safety but when an A list actor does something against the rules it’s fine 🤷‍♂️

Yeah that crushed me. He didn’t deserve that at all. Thanks for watching ☺️

May have been justice, but Dignam was a rat … you can see it in his face when William mentions that there might be a rat in the department… his attitude towards him changed and also, cops don’t do “hits” … the rat running across the railing is a reminder that “it’s a nation of rats” mr French’s words !

Oh okay. Thanks ☺️ could you tell which characters have bad accents? 😆 I’m curious.

@@thecocoacouch The Boston Accent is all about The Letter "R" Jack Nicholson ( A Legend in Movies) Boston Accent is terrible & Martin Sheen as well. Alec Baldwin is not bad. Alec Baldwin is from New York but their accent is heavier than the Boston Accent & you can hear it in the movie. Leonardo DiCaprio is the best of the bunch but a few slip ups in the movie but pretty decent, If you are not from Boston you probably don't notice. The Boston Accent is well known as being 1 of the most difficult accents to do in movies it is very distinct. And Bostonians are big time critics who let it be known whether actors pass or fail with The Bostonian Accent.

It’s fascinating to me since I have to learn accents as an aspiring actor. Boston is easier for Aussies thank goodness since our vowels are already so open and exaggerated. Boston sounds kinda Aussie since the R’s sound like AA’s.

Yeah, Leo's accent is horrible, Alec Baldwin's is horrible. Nicholson's is horrible. Martin Sheen's is horrible. Vera Famiglia's is horrible. And I feel even Damon and Wahlberg's are overdone. "You are not a coh-op!" lol. Like the movie (not anywhere near my favorite Scorsese, or his most important work, but it's good), but those accents are really cringey, I agree!

@@denisletourneau9750 It's probably the biggest challenge to actors cast as JFK, too. lol

Thankyou and welcome!!

Yup. I always feel guilty afterwards because it’s still a life but stillllll it really felt good 😆

Yeap, although I think this blew Internal Affairs out of the water.

Even if it is, it's perfectly fine. If I were you, I would rather stay with myself because I notice a certain dissatisfaction with your life based on the negative energy behind your statement.

It’s not streaming till July 8th 🤷‍♂️ also I reckon that should be a Patreon exclusive.

I’ve seen the founder and I loved it!

Oh for real? Maybe that’s why no one’s joined 😆 I’ll sort it out. This film isn’t on patreon but every movie I do from now on will be.

Okay so it’s on my banner, in my channels description and on the post I made about starting the patreon yesterday.

It won 4 Oscars in 2007: Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, and Film Editing.

Nicholson did not win the Oscar for this, LOL.

@@TTM9691 He has 3 Oscars: 2 Best Actor for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and As Good As It Gets. Terms of Endearment was Best Supporting Actor but he was certainly worthy for The Departed, Chinatown, and Five Easy Pieces. Although he is retired, the Academy can still award him another Lifetime or Special Oscar.

Thanks heaps ☺️ means a lot

I KNOWWW LIKE WHAT 😆

Dude. You’re a legend! Fr always makes my entire week 😆 thank you ☺️ have a great day man!

@@thecocoacouch your videos make my week so it’s we got a good deal going lol

Haha I guess so. Cheers 🍻

Out of interest what plot holes are you referring to?

@@dannyb9209 Well, the good mole has only been on the street for a short while, not for years like in the original in which his rise was convincing. (What was it, six months? It's been a while.) The bad guys learn there's a mole, and they *don't* immediately point the finger to the new guy? In a couple of months both moles have a career that took ten years to achieve for both in IA. The cop boss gets murdered, and the *only guy* who knows the good mole's identity resigns just like that, and he doesn't give two sh§ts that he's the good mole's only hope for doing his job and proving his identity. And after having marooned the good mole (which contributes to his death), suddenly at the very end of the movie he comes back to have a big entrance, and somehow we're supposed to think, "Wow, cool job, bro, you're not a shitty person at all!" There were more, but as I said, I couldn't bring myself to watch The Departed more than once, and I did when it came out. And that's just the unnecessary inconsistencies the original avoided, but I think the problems go even deeper when you compare the two. Sure, Jack Nicholson's always delightful to watch, but he plays his usual exaggerated bad guy shtick and comes across as an entertaining caricature, but not as a believable big bad. Matt Damon's casting is much worse, though: We've seen this empty, unscrupulous, but shallow bad guy a thousand times. I can't even begin to tell you how fascinating Andy Lau's take on this character was, how much depth it brought to the table - and Scorsese used none of that although it was handed to him on a plate. The melancholy, the identity crises on both sides, resulting from playing a completely different person for ten frigging years, what that does to you and how it changes you? Absent. The history the mob boss and the cop boss had in the original which gave the story a whole new level? Absent. The moral gray area both moles negotiated, and in the end the lines between clearly good and clearly evil blurred? Absent. The temptations of the respective lives both moles had to play, how they slowly gave in to some? Absent. The clever, very subtle parallels between the plot and the idea of a buddhist hell? Absent. And to add insult to injury, there even was a completely pointless and clichéd "We're gonna get you!" scene between Sheen and Wahlberg and Nicholson, as if this was an eighties pre-prime-time serial. That's where I had to check if I was really watching a movie by the guy who'd given us GoodFellas, Casino, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets and Gangs of New York. The Departed is Infernal Affairs light - not only way less calories, but also considerably dumbed down and all in all so woefully much *less* than the original - which became an international breakout hit for good reason.

Do you think E.T. was the greatest video game ever?

@@edittheworld-ct5yu Wow. You must have been the class representative.

@@Zorros2ndCousinTwiceRemoved What the hell does that even mean?
