Who is not departed?

Martin is old, although he is still a philosopher. I prefer him when he was young. He is flamboyant, calm and intellectual. Now, although he has not changed his thinking about society at all, he is old after all, and he likes working in the forest more. Walking on the boulevard, like rowing a boat leisurely on the calm lake, like to wander slowly in his own philosophy, and this is somewhat dull for a police and gangster film.
However, maybe this is the style of old Martin. , Although it is slow, but he shows a unique style, this style can not be imitated by anyone, and it will not leave the mark of Hong Kong Infernal Affairs because of the script,It made me forget for more time that this is the so-called American version of Infernal Affairs, it is more like Martin proclaiming his own philosophy, this is Martin, a socialist, even in his later years he maintained a keen sense of this society In my opinion, the two people created by Martin are actually two sides of a person's character.
Repeated montages, repeated comparisons, and even repeatedly fell in love with the same woman, two Characters with diametrically opposite status have the same psychological problems and confusion in their hearts. They also have the same splits. I don't know if Martin has ever had such an inner experience. Many times people have to face the moment of feeling split. .It is the expression of this split that made me see the Martin of the past, the Martin who walked out of the fog of the taxi driver, the Martin who thought calmly to the good fellow.
Although there was only such a little calm thinking, However, it is enough, and basically nothing else, the performance of any actor in this film is almost negligible compared to the performance of these actors.

The Departed quotes

  • Colin Sullivan: I can get the rat. You just gotta let me do it my way, Frank.

    Frank Costello: Okay.

    [hands Sullivan "Citizens Trust" envelope]

    Frank Costello: But Colin - I hope I don't have to remind you that if you don't find that cheese-eating rat bastard in your department, most likely it won't be me who suffers for it.

    Colin Sullivan: Now why would you have to remind me of that? Would I be any good at what I do if I didn't fucking already know that? Frank, you gotta trust me. Alright, just trust me Frank. Hey, it fucking involves lying and I'm pretty fucking good at that. Right?

    Frank Costello: Maybe because it's always been so easy for me to get cunt, that I never understood jacking off in a theater.

  • Madolyn: [to Colin] And I thought that I was the liar!
