lol forgive the other videos seen they all came out this week...
 
I have seen both Infernal Affairs and The Departed. I love both, with the slight edge going to Infernal Affairs. Ever since Scorsese released The Departed, he and his screenwriter always give credit to Infernal, they never deny this. Scorsese met with the creators of the Infernal trilogy, they gave him the go ahead.
I will say this, Scorsese is a brilliant director and all he's doing is chasing that little gold man. He had to bring in the big Hollywood talent, its a shame that he had to resort to this but come on, we all know he should have won for Raging Bull and Goodfellas.
I do believe he'll win next week but its not because of The Departed, it'll be because of his great body of work.
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
Cheers,
Strauss

It still bugs me. I hate loose endings. Not to mention she wrote something on the envelope!! That he gave her to open in 2 weeks.

She wrote his last name, "Costigan" on the envelope.

My guess was he probably left her information and access regarding the recordings somehow. I assumed it was some sort of evidence that could be used in case of his death.

SPOILERS************************

It had to be the info that he was an undercover, and Damon was the rat inside the department, and for her to tell Dignam. How else would DiCaprio get a cop's funeral? As far as anyone knew he was a criminal after the academy....

spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sullivan (Damon) recommended him to be honored and that is how he got a cops funeral. I suspect that the first letter Costigan gave Madolyn was more than just information about him being a cop, because then there would be no need to send her a second one with the CD in it. I think this way because she also wanted to tell him something, which is that he is the father of the child.

the second one was addressed to Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon). She looked at the return address and saw it was from Dicaprio and that's why she opened it.
 
wow i didnt know it was a remake of a "JAPANESE" film... GD oscars can't even get the country right....
 
Well, I watched Infernal Affairs today. It was okay...better than I expected, but it really made me appreciate The Departed that much more. I really felt that Scorsese took an interesting Asian movie and expanded on it and made it his own.

Yeah, ridiculous. They'll be hearing from the Chinese community, all right.
 
well the movie is 3 parts and martin's verison takes from both so there a reason with "2d" is there... you get the whole character by the end of all of them... thats why if there is a sequel it cant beanything but something original becuase he took from all the scripts not just the first one and everyone is dead except a character that didnt exisit in the originals.
 
Yep. I live in Boston and Whitey has been a legend for as far back as I can remember. As soon as this movie was announced we all immediately knew where they got that character from.

Whitey's out there somewhere, and I'll bet he enjoyed the movie very much.
 
i thought it was funny how there were rumors that he was at the premeire, lol. i heard this movie stirred up a lot of bad feelings from the families of whitey's victims.
