Another rat symbolism some people might have missed: when Costigan says "You don't have cats... I like that", its because he is a "rat". Nice.
Ohhh wow I've seen this movie probably 10 times and never realized that until now.
Original Duplicate iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I still don’t think that would convince cinema sins to remove the 50 sins just for being anti-cat 😂
@Dowhat Iwant I wish I could like this comment more than once haha
@Dowhat Iwant do you know what foreshadowing is?
All movies do it.
ALL of them.
It's not a coincidence.
*I would've taken 100 sins off if, at the end, Mark Wahlberg tells Matt Damon's corpse "How do ya like them apples?" before exiting his apartment.*
That would've neen terrific! 😂😂😂🍎
Similar crossover quote, but you ever watch Snatch and Avengers:Endgame? Thanos asks Benicio Del Toro’s The Collector “where’s the stone” the exact same way Benicio Del Toro’s Frankie Four-fingers character asks a jeweler during a heist in Snatch. Awesome Easter egg moment for Endgame.
It was actually Infinity War.
tjlanglois1989 your right, my bad.
Applesauce, bitch
God I always forget how incredible the cast for this movie was.
Leo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen
And they all overact all the while
Brad Pitt behind the scenes
Aye Mayne i still don t understand why he didn’t get the oscar for this, because he was also a producer. It is even weird that Scorsese didn’t mention him when he got the Oscar (he said something like “I want to thank the producers Brad Grey and Graham King)
Only ocean's eleven even comes close to matching this (in the 21st century)
He skipped over Costigan’s death scene because he knew he would have had to remove all the sins if he didn’t
;-;
True that. Was bone chilling to me personally, totally did not expect it!
It was a shock to me cause I knew one was shot dead in the elevator but I thought it was Matt Damon’s character
@@OfficialParkit Me either. When the elevator scene happened, my mouth dropped and was like "what, whAT, What?!?"
Ehh, I don't know. I think when looking back at it, Billy's (Leo) death makes the movie more convoluted than it needs to be, especially when adding the whole Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) is an informant plotline. Now don't get me wrong, the elevator scene when I first watched this film, was a shocking twist that made me drop my drink. I didn't see that coming, for real.
But at the same time, it doesn't make any sense. Like how is Trooper Barrigan (the one to killed Billy) a mole? The movie establishes that Frank Costello met Colin (Damon) as a kid, but when did Frank met Barrigan? And WHY was Barrigan doing this? Like there's no foreshadowing of Barrigan's motives. And yeah, maybe Frank did this to cover up his bases, and added a few moles in, just in case one mole got outed or didn't make it far enough into the police force to be useful; but WHY does Barrigan know about Colin, but Colin doesn't know about Barrigan? I mean they were in the SAME training class, for crying out loud. Did Barrigan get turned later? I mean if we the audience are gonna go with the assumption that Barrigan's the mole and knows about what Colin's been doing and maybe Barrigan was only planted just to keep an eye on Colin, HOW does Barrigan know that Frank was an FBI informant? Colin, who has reached one of the HIGHEST RANKS of the State Police, didn't even know about it and only found out, due to a SINGLE journal entry from Captain Queenan. But that's because Billy told him, and Billy knew because some literal random drugged-up dude knew that he interrogated, because of LITERALLY WHATEVER REASON. I mean what's that dude's story?
Now even if Barrigan WAS assigned by Frank to be a mole and keep tabs on Colin and that somehow he also snuck into the room and found Queenan's journal to learn that Frank's also a rat, in the film, Barrigan literally says, "Costello was gonna sell us to the FBI.". So HOW would Barrigan know that Frank was planning to sell them out? And WHY would even the FBI care? If Frank Costello was the FBI's rat and Colin and Barrigan were helping him, wouldn't Colin want to help Frank? Like would the FBI be psyched that Colin was doing the ground-work for them (I mean he keeps Frank out of trouble so they could keep giving him information.)?
Also, the whole FBI plot with Frank being a rat, is only in The Departed BECAUSE of the whole bases around Whitey Bulger (who Costello's character is based on), which I can understand. But if I'm being honest, it really doesn't add anything to the film and would only make the plot sound more complicated than it needs to be. I guess Martin Scorsese, the writers, or studios thought that one of the themes should be what Mr French said, "It's a nation of f***ing rats.".
Plus, once Barrigan kills Billy, then Brown, and then tell Colin that they have to stick together (But WHY exactly, if they're the only moles left?), Colin kills Barrigan? And for what reason? You see in the original movie Infernal Affairs, it makes sense, since Chan (who's suppose to be Billy's counterpart) calls the police to meet him at the building where he meets Lau (Colin's counterpart), so when Chan brings Lau downstairs, he's literally bringing him into police custody. Lau then kills Inspector B (Barrigan's counterpart), because he needs a fall-guy, since Chan already told the cops he has the mole in custody. But in The Departed, Billy hasn't told anyone about Colin, not even Trooper Brown. So now that Billy and Brown are dead, there really is no reason to kill Barrigan. They really could have both gone home and left those two there. Also, if you pay attention to the scene when Colin tries to cover the mess, you have to ask yourself HOW Colin would come up with a story that would explain this to the police. He says Barrigan attacked him, but wouldn't they tell from forensics that Billy punched him? I mean, they don't even give us Colin's complete made-up story to the police for why he was there.
It's just all not coming together.
8:40 Honestly a sin should be taken off for the "I'm the guy that does his job. You must be the other guy" line.
romulusnr like 100 sins
It’s funny cuz mark wahlberg starred in a movie called the other guys where they were cops who never did any real police work
Maybe yes, maybe no, maybe go fuck yourself
This comment needs more thumbs up. And Cinemasins needs to re-do this one
As someone who was 15 when that kind of phone came out, yes, you can absolutely type entire complex messages in your pocket.
Yep everyone at my school had a Nokia 5110 when they came out. It was easy typing without looking flawlessly.
Yeah, that was (iirc) T9 prediction mode, it was first introduced with nokias...
Yep thought the same
I too agree many a text I sent without looking at the dam phone lol
Dana White, the UFC guy, is known for carrying an old school phone for this reason. He'll text under the table or in his pocket without looking while in meetings or whatever.
The tension & paranoia of being undercover with anyone that could kill you at any second is so strongly expressed by Leo. I was shocked he didn’t win an Oscar still after this.
Im shocked that it took numerous amazing performances by Leo until he finally was given an Oscar.
Well I know this is common news but at the time he also had his performance in blood diamond and the Oscar campaign chose to use his performance in blood diamond.
This movie was bad & based on a Hong Kong 🎬. I saw it in theaters & really disliked it.
@@DavidLLambertmobile Well, good for you?
you'll agree the Scorsese rightly won the best director Oscar for this.
Di Caprio; "Do you love him".
Farmiga; "It's a pretty serious relationship yeah".
Totally f*cking before the end of the movie.
"sentence."
Funny, how she tells Damon's character, "And I thought I was the liar.", when she still kinda is one.
@@osmanyousif7849 They both were liars.
Martin Scorsese always gathers such an impressive cast for his movies.
like Quentin and his impressive cast of toes
Nobody could beat Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino they're like the dynamic duo of movies
You're thinking of Wes Anderson.
@DASreviews Then why didn't he notice his big plot device of the envelope full of Social Security numbers was useless and wouldn't have worked?
@@pizzatime7433 LOL.... no. No they are not.
You know how many years I've waited for this? Too many, dude. Too. Many.
My exact thoughts when I saw this video. I've recommended this movie on their page so many times and eventually just gave up!
@@austinh9758 tell me about it lol
Same. Every time I watch this movie I pick out moments that are sin worthy. Love this movie
12 YEARS!!! In Azkaban!
Me too man. This is my favorite movie and I've been asking for this for years and years. I haven't watched it yet, I feel like I should get some fancy Cognac or something
He's not afraid of the SSN because he's pretending to be someone he's not. Billy's always been presented as a smart, perceptive person. To him, frank asking his CRIME GANG for their personal info -- like they're setting up their direct deposits or some shit -- is strange and unusual behavior. This is a key moment in the story where Billy first gets the feeling that Frank knows there's a rat in his gang. This catapults Billy down a deeper hole of anxiety and stress, w an overwhelming sense of urgency to get tf outta dodge b4 (in Billy's mind) Frank inevitably discovers him to be the snitch and kills him.
I'm so glad you mentioned it, because one of the things that always bothered me in this movie, despite it being a sublime piece of cinema, is how unprofessional Madelyn is. She dismisses Billy's joke about killing himself, prescribes him pills even though he's drug seeking, then goes on to transfer him to another therapist, (this was actually one good thing), but she still sees him, complains about her boyfriend with him, and sleeps with him. It's nuts.
To err is human.
She had problems too. They just weren't explored for reasons unknown
She was clearly very troubled herself. There's people like her in every profession who are unprofessional and troubled.
She was right to prescribe him pills. He was seeking drugs because he needed them. Too many people out there suffering because doctors are afraid of medication.
@@kingstarscream320 And many more suffer because they're not afraid of over-prescribing. If you really _need_ it, you'll get it. Lax regulations are how millions were made to become addicted to Oxy in the first place, and that's not a mistake to be repeated.

@@johnconnor2572 Don't know where Audacious thinks it's from, but it's been a pretty common line in business, government, the military, and other organized systems since the 1960's.
"" They are like mushrooms ".
@@Ascoundrel Why is stolen because it's in a movie? Everything in a movie is drawn from reality.
Steppin Razor It’s “dahk”.
"The movie suggests nothing of note in prison took place."
Except, y'know, when the psych asks him "Did something happen to you?" Followed by Billy's very, very long pause. Then, "No."
So what does that suggests?
@@alemarioluiginator Going by Billy's unwillingness to even discuss it, and him bringing up the 'showers', I'd say sexual assault.
And at the scene when it scrolls to the right showing him in the holding cell with the other inmates, behind Billy there is a big black guy eyeing him.
ALE thezombieslayer I think it shows us the beginning of his detatchment from of the police. He realises there’s no short way to describe all the bad shit he saw in there that the psychs would actually understand. So he just avoids the question.
@@ConfusedGeriatric he wouldnt have to explain anything too much you would think since most of her clients are ex cons and cops/ex cops.
Jack Nicholson whipping out his junk in the theater is the best thing about this movie
That was so unexpected
@@waterproof4403 oh god was that his real junk
That was a black one...
@@katrinastevenson352 I was about to comment on that. I've obviously never seen Jack Nicholson's balls( and I'm not interested in seeing other men's balls, anyhow) but I'm assuming they're the same color as the rest of him so given that it was black, I always figured that he was using a black dildo and not his real junk.
You actually skipped over taking sins off the amazing sequence of the dramatic rooftop standoff, killing multiple main characters of both sides within a minute where each is essentially a “holy fuck” moment?
Ehh, I don't know. Was it really that great?

Frank cares about trying to talk billy out of the life because he knew and respected Billy’s dad.
Disagree. He was trying to set billy up as another rat
@@MrInfinity418 if Frank was successful in talking him out of the life, how would he be able to rat? Billy is DiCaprio, you know that right?
@@KelticTim I don’t think he was talking him out of that life tho. When he was talking about school. He was planning on doing what he did with Damon with DiCaprio
@@MrInfinity418 I don’t think you’re remembering the movie correctly. He was absolutely trying to get DiCaprio out of the gangster life, He never knew DiCaprio when he was a cop, so he never would’ve had a chance to use him the way he used Damon. By the time that talk happened, DiCaprio had already been “kicked off” the force, and done time. Nicholson had no clue he was still a cop.
@@KelticTim he didn’t know he was still a cop. He did however know he went to school to be a cop. Billy’s whole cover was he didn’t get through school. Frank was trying to get him to consider going back so that he could use him life he did Damon. Franks whole character was he didn’t respect or care about anyone besides himself. He lied to everyone and was a rat himself. Everything he did was for himself. So he totally was trying to manipulate billy into returning to school to be a cop to be a rat for him.
the blood on Billy's face after Frenchie shoots the guy isn't splatter from the shooting, its from when the victim throws that toy and hits his temple literally a second earlier. He has the bruise throughout a lot of the rest of the movie.
Glad I saw a comment for this. No idea how he didn’t see that.
I was looking for this too. Too many dings in this one but I know the guys gotta do what he does but he literally shows his face in his own video where it's NOT splatter
Dude was hated in his apartment building because he was a cop, and they were snobs. It wasn't really the type of building a cop could afford
@HicksZ34 yeah it was used as a way to show how far he had fallen. At the start of the movie he could do no wrong and beautiful women smiled at his presence. At the end his cover and charm was wearing off and he was ignored by the elderly woman. You could tell by his reaction he didn't deal well with the rejection.
It was a reference to earlier in the movie.
@@SteveSmith-wv8sg what reference
I think his being hated in his apartment building was meant to show that everyone knows he's a piece of trash.
@@JoeMama-dt4jgThe real estate agent showing him the unit brings it up
You missed a perfect opportunity to dub Tommy Wiseau's "Hi doggy" over Matt Damon at the end there.
Fuck, that would've been funny 😄.
"You're my favorite customer"
@@AlejoConejo-vb8ln thanks a lot, byeee
And the dog replying "Oh hi Colin I didn't know it was you"
Also could've added a nice "Oh hi Mark" at any point Mark Wahlberg walks into the room
The reason she pulled the dog away was because he was living in an "upper-class" building, but still looked upon as working class. This is touched upon in the scene when he purchases the apartment and explains to the realtor that he has a co-signer (Frank).
5:45 Costello cares about Billy being in the business & is trying to talk him out of it because of his connection to Billy's family through his father and uncle and the respect he had for both men.
It is also a juxtaposition of his relationship with Sullivan who, though he has known Colin intimately for longer and Colin started working for him sooner, is much more implicitly of the transactional, employer/employee relationship than the genuine mentor/mentee thing he shares with Costigan.
Attend the note of serious, ceremonial pomp the scene takes when, at the beginning Costello gives Sullivan what can only be his official mob cell phone and compare it to the casual, matter-of-fact way which he gives Billy the same item later in the movie. It suggests an ease and a trust that is far more inherent to that relationship. Owed to the real concern/care he has for Billy demonstrated in this scene and later confirmed by Costello's lawyer giving his tapes to Billy.
This is all fairly obvious. Although yes, considering Billy was known to have tried to become a cop, one can certainly argue the intelligence of such a move by Frank and why no one else in the crew legitimately suspects him is a headscratcher to say the least.
Im already seeing that „Earn that paycheck, Tyrese.“ sin in the new fast and furious movie
I say that every time I see Tyrese in anything.
Me too lmao 🔥😂☠️
**ping**
Those are even fast & the furious movies at this point they just attach fast & the farious name to it so they can make a cool 500 million real quick ... Even when Paul Walker was still alive it was basically not that franchise anymore anyways I was just an action movie with no car racing and just a bunch of famous actors are big name actors those movie suck at this point I don't know why people keep going to watch them
“Earn that paycheck, Tyrese” can apply to so many different things and not always just to Tyrese. 😂🤣
They should have had Matt Damon say at the end "Oh. Hi Mark." In Tommy Wiseaus voice.
"How's your sex life?"
"Not great".
You’re my favorite informant.
I didn't rat on them it's not true it's bullshit i did not rat on them I DID NAAAHT..
love your channel.
The coke scene is because Costello is using his own gear, and he starts to make poor decisions (and him acting like a rat is part of his stress mixed with being high).
Did you notice the X's in the scenes with everyone who is doomed? see 9.42 , 9.35, and part of the X behind the guy at 5.51. Billie's X appears when he's at the airport saying "there is a rat inside your unit that is a fact". heaps more when you watch it again. love it
One of the greatest films of the 21st Century and arguably of all time. The ending was pretty much ruined for me when I was in high school when my parents were watching it on the living room TV and I happened to walk in and catch the elevator scene before I even knew what film they were watching. Even with that ENORMOUS bombshell of a spoiler, this film is still my favorite hands down. The level of genius in its editing, directing, and cinematography is matched only by its incredible casting and sensational acting. I can’t commend this film enough, and I’m sure this is nauseating to many people to read, so I’m sorry about that. But I’m so pumped this video is out- I’ve been waiting a loooong time for this one. Cheers!
One of the best films of all ? Wow. Come on dude. This is one of the worst films Marty ever made.
The blood on Leo’s face is from him getting hit in the eye not from the gun shot 6:50.. That is a sin on you my friend
That's right. The dude threw the toy at him.
PhantomFilmAustralia Yeah I don’t know how he messed that up.. Notices every little detail but misses that lol Getting lazy 😂
@@dangbro6502 Hi - by chance are you new to Cinema sins? They have a formula to use various sins on each movie - like other than "narration and comcast and roll credits" - they use others for variety like "you get a car, or something something clique".
They also use a "Ah the movie did this wrong, or the person could have figured out this, or said this" when they very next scene answers their ridiculous sin :)
They do this all the time :D have a look at almost all their videos - the sin they mention is answered due to a previous or next scene done on purpose :P
G1478 No I’m not new and I know he does that sometimes but I’m not seeing what ur talking about.. unless I’m missing something? What part does he say “ oh that explains how the blood got there”
@@giri1478 there's a difference between hyperbolizing for the sake of comedy, and getting things factually wrong about a movie's story and/or missing/misinterpreting plot points.

Yeah, that one feels like he's either too old or too young to have done much pre-smartphone texting. An entire generation of those of us who grew up in the 90s could bang out novels on a keypad. Considering that Costigan and Sullivan are presumably supposed to be in their early-to-mid 20s in the movie, they'd have grown up texting.

@@magical_pixie_horse7346 you recognize this in the first viewing?
You did not take a sin off for Billy 's death.
That single moment takes a great film with amazing quotes, to a higher level. Very few times a film will genuinely shock you that much.
Denzel Ortiz their all over the movie once you see them you can’t unsee them
It always bugged me when we found out that Costello had two cops working for him. The whole movie was based off of Matt Damon being special, trained from a young kid to be Costello's rat. Then all of a sudden their are two of them? That's plot convenient
well you can see it that way, but i think it's actually only trying to potray how easily you can buy and corrupt people.. especially shows the typical gangster/mobster figure where they don't let anyone get in their way of achieving their goals or to keep that same power or position.. it reminds me of the 'bronx tale' quote: "better be feared than loved." these guys even after a lifetime of loyalty are gonna be threated like potential danger.. and i also think in reality most cops are crooked one.. they just haven't met the right price and opportunity.. so it's pretty justifing in context of the movie and it brings more shock to the ending.
@@aNdzel0t - See I know where you're coming from, but I disagree. It was set up merely for shock value. We all thought Matt Damon was caught and done for, only for an elevator to open and Leo gets shot by another mole (I'm using real names because it's been a while since I've seen the movie and I forgot the names) That is plot convenient, shock value with nothing that eluded to it. Scorcesse usually does a better job administering Chekhov's Gun. But this one was all for shock and awe
Now, if there were little clues sprinkled throughout the film that there were more than mole present, it would make sense to the story. And perhaps there is and I can't remember, but I don't recall that
@@thepiperreport8198 i agree to some extent, but i think u overlooked the hints (that are small indeed), there was some scenes where Frank (Jack Nicholson) knew stuff before Sulivan (Matt Damon) even said anything to him, for example at the porncinema... where Sulivan is telling him he got reassigned to find the rat (himself), Frank already knew.. and Sulivan is pretty surprised about him knowing. but it's just Scorsese and details.. although i too think these film is weaker than his earlier work.
And about the ending, how i got it.. it wasn't just shocking, (I kinda had a feeling it will get bad especially for the main characters...) it has a philosophical line followed throughout the film that the human life is insignificant and nothing but a "rat race".. that we are all rats lookin' to screw each other for selfish benefits.. and we all end up in the same dump in the end... it's depressing but realistic. but it's just my opinion, greetings sir. sorry for the long comments. :)
Don't forget Queenan had another undercover Jimmy Bags in Costello's gang
@Christopher Perry oh yeah
I love this movie. However, my only issue was how Colin couldn't figure out Billy was the mole. Colin knew that the mole was present at the transaction of the microprocessors where "the new guy was present" with only a few other associates. Why not investigate the "new guy" after you learned your group was infiltrated with a cop.
RIGHT?!!! No issue until Billy showed up and never looked into it. To me that stuck out like a sore thumb.
Leo: "You don't have any cats."

He does not like cats cuz he is a rat

Off Topic: But after watching the F9 trailer (Fast and the Furious) over the weekend, I decided to start a GoFundMe to save the SinCounter from a sure demise.
14 hours ago? We might need to start a GoFundMe to save UA-cam from a sure demise.
@@Gemnist98 Ever heard of patreon supporters getting early access? It's the norm these days.
I haven't seen it yet but I laughed when I saw a thumbnail for it lol.
Vasto Tales don’t worry, once the twist of F&F being part of the DCEU is exposing in 9. The sin counts for all the old F&F will be reset, since we know it happens in a superhero universe and the good guys are superhero’s in hiding.
It’s why Gal Gadot is signed on for the next one titled:
*Fast and Furious 10: the one with Wonder Woman*
I bet my ass the sin counter will finally see the 5 digit number for F9
Frank trusted Billy because he respected Billy's father and he commented that he was sad to see Billy there. He knew his father would never have allowed him to run with Frank's Cree. That's why he tries to get Billy to go back to school. I think he saw him like he saw Colin, better than his environment, but he respected Billy more.
I'm glad someone brings up one of the biggest plot holes. They know Billy was just thrown out of the police academy less then a year ago, they think there's a rat, but they don't kill him or even suspect him more then the rest of the crew??!! WTF?!
I mean he got tested twice to see if he was the rat, same with information being given to him
@jacksonmorgan4347 this is a flim you have to watch, lots of little details like this just seem to get overlooked. They tested him a bunch, his family worked for Costello before aka uncle Jackie and his Uncle Tommy. His father was hinted to be as smart as Billy, and Costello wishes he could've used him.
6:51 I’d like to point out the blood came from the same guy who got shot by Ray Winstone. He threw a toy at him
PC Principal glad someone said it
Cabooooose!
EXACTLY! The blood was from being hit with the toy not the gunshot! The blood is Leo's not the guy's(victim's).
thank you.
RascalFascal You’re welcome
Re: Only having one guy in Costello's unit-
Delahunt really was Queenan's other guy. Costello writes it off as cop misdirection, but it's proven true if you pay attention -- Delahunt gives Costigan the wrong address deliberately to keep him away from the rest of the crew, and then he doesn't tell the other guys because he's still trying to protect Costigan. This is thematically reinforced by Costello also being revealed to have a secondary rat in SIU, and one who was prominently framed as an extra throughout the film
Another theory: in a deleted scene Delahunt is revealed to have not turned Costigan in because whilst he has done a lot of bad in his life, he's never killed anyone or been the reason they've been killed ua-cam.com/video/f7ivCtiKWfw/v-deo.html
I don't think he knew that Billy was the other spy. He gave him bad directions to protect whatever guy Queenan was meeting with. He would've blamed Billy if he didn't come on time, and saved the rat. But Billy was the rat, and despite being given the wrong directions, came to the correct place. That is how he knew Billy was the spy, and he didn't tell on him because he was undercover police himself.
In his last line "Tell me why I didn't tell them", he wants confirmation that he is a good guy. He wants Billy to know that he too is a good guy. Whatever Billy went through was nothing compared to what this guy went through. He was their tough guy and in the crew for years. All the identity issues Billy had, he would have had them too. After his hand in Queenan's death, he wanted confirmation that he was still a good guy, and by not outing Billy, he proved that he was.
Somil Mishra honestly, I don’t reckon he’s a cop. He just doesn’t want to be left in a dumpster and he doesn’t want to kill anybody. He wants his final act on earth to be saving someone, not leading them to their death
The only thing undercover cops can’t kill anyone so really he should have stopped them from killing the chief
That theory that Delahunt was a second undercover in Frank's crew is demonstrably wrong. If you watch the deleted/extended death scene, Delahunt did give Billy the wrong address on accident and that is how he figured out that Billy was the rat. The reason Delahunt didn't tell the rest of the crew is that he wanted Billy to make sure they didn't just dump his body in a ditch. A few things if Delahunt had been a cop: 1) They would have had a uniformed pic for the news shot and there would have been a cop funeral which would have proved to Frank that Delahunt was a cop. 2) Delahunt had been with Frank for several years. That would have been the longest no-results undercover job ever, 3) If Delahunt had been a cop, the criminal career of Frank Costello would have been a minor footnote in the national scandal that was an undercover cop taking part in throwing a police captain off a roof to his death.
He didn't waste the coke, he 'flowered' the other girls ass with it but the movie doesn't show for some reason. I'm guessing the MPAA made them cut it or rate it NC17
I doubt it, especially if she had a thong on. So many other R-rated movies get away with such harsh nudity and sex scenes. This movie had maybe 1 legit sex scene and it cuts away before anything is scene or nudity. I think it was a directors choice to focus on Jack’s face instead of a butt shot.
What always bugged me was when Jack was hitting Leo with the boot, you can see him completely miss his hand every time.
Actually i typed with those phones in my pocket a lot
So did I! I use to type like that while driving only taking a few glances.
i've done it aswell..i do think this guy wouldn't have been able to due to adrenaline ,..he couldv'e just texted 911.. but you had to know how to Type a,b, or c for the 1 and so on
Bad news: everyone around you thought you were fondling yourself.
T9 made made no look texting wicked easy.
@@joshuachubbzgardler9190 these kids nowadays don't know how much easier it was to text in class once you had T9 memorized lol
13:45 it seems like a great “in the moment” thing because Nicholson improvised the entire scene; DiCaprio was sketched out for real
tropicAces that whole scene was the best part of the movie. Incredible acting by both
The scene where he pulls a gun on DiCaprio who is completely unscripted so his facial reaction was actually genuine. He had no idea he was going to do that
Come on, Nicholson doing the rat face deserves 5 sins off, I always thought that was a classic part.
This movie was a gift to all citizins by Martin Scorsese
A gift he doesn't even like. And I agree.
Nice play on the incorrect spelling 👍
Via Infernal Affairs lol
I see what u did there
It was actually a remake of a Chinese movie.
Honestly I could text like that without seeing back when all we had was flip phones. After texting enough you learn what letter and how many clicks. Occasionally that T9 predictive thing would happen... But I used to text in class that way.
I second this, just commented basically the same thing. When you get so good at texting and knowing what buttons to hit you could do it blindfolded. Or in your coat pocket. Or under a desk in class.
That's what I like about older phones with physical keyboards
I used to text inside my hoodie/under desk in class in the T9 days. The menus would be tough, I guess, but just typing and sending was easy with a simple 9 buttons.
8:10 I clearly remember my parents coming up to me after they watched this film and said “we just watched a film where a character does that text thing you do”. I used to do that a lot back then, kind of a fun trick. So I’ll go ahead and remove that one sin.
5:15 i don't think I've heard anyone wonder about why "cigarette guy" was spitting out teeth after costigan pistol whipped his forehead, not his mouth....
Me when I first saw the trailer for this movie: The main cast looks so generic and similar I can't tell who's who. How good could this movie REALLY be?
Me after watching this movie: Each character had a well developed arc and this movie is a goddam MASTERPIECE!
Such a great flick. Have you seen The Irishman? Definitely not the same pace but really good.
I had a similar problem with a different movie. As much as I liked Pacific Rim, I had a hard time keeping track of a few generic white guys.
@@Sir_Duckyweather That's racist. *ding*
those rich white boys do all look the same
This movie is pretty much shot-by-shot remake of Korean movie "Internal Affairs". There is one key difference which made me like Korean version more.
You missed something that always drove me insane.
At the adult theater Leo is texting his boss, who is also texting back.
Ringer isn't on in there.
But all the sudden when he is pursing it goes off tone and all.
What did he do? Decide it was a good idea as he was walking out the back door to stealthy follow the leak?
8:10 - You've never had a flip phone? The "5" key on most phones have a ridge on it so you can find it without looking. Then just feel your way to the other keys. Also, you can program the phone to speed dial/text any number/contact you want. I used to do this while driving ALL the time, never once looking at the phone. Can't do it with phones nowadays, because of the touch screen.
6:30
you are totally wrong in this part.
Don't you get it? The fact that he is putting up a show to the other detectives that his "act" as the lawyer sucked the information of the "raid location".
As he comes out of the room and asks to locate the number of the last call, that's when the raid is launched.
This ploy was not to "warn" costello, but to create a fake raid, so they would leave the guy alone and not interrogate him further.
My mother was having a great time watching this movies until the leo elevator scene and it broke her heart
That scene hit me like a truck the first time I saw it
"You dont have any cats, I like that"
*Ding, ding, ding!* 😂
Seriously though what a stupid line.
Undisclosed cat allergy 🤣
Meh, you know that got a good laugh in theatre's.
*cat lady detected*
Cats eat rats!
Lol it was much more deep symbolism then this guy could get,he hates obvious symbolism but misses subtle symbolism what a dummie because Billy was a rat and Cat eat Rats.
That’s funny when you mention the cops shouldn’t open fire. In fact, that IS how copping works.
hahaha, i literally just wrote;
february 2020: "that's not how copping works", when cops open fire on suspects just because.
june 2020: that is definitely how copping works.
Frank Costellos guys just threw Queenan off the roof and then had a gun fight with the police where they severely injured police officers (including Delahunt, which was kind of strange seeing as he was also undercover), so I think the police would be right to open fire at this point
@@daneg007 poor criminals, right?
18:00 There is no Pickering St in Boston. You've found Pickering Ave. Fictional address is fictional. *ding*
“Playing ‘I’m Shipping Up to Boston’ in any situation even remotely related to Boston or Irish cliché.” Ding!
I think Conor McGregor even used it as walk-out music once.
Thank you!
The song was released in 2005, Departed released in 2006. Departed was the first one to use the song in this context. Conor McGregor and the other copycats should be sinned, not the original
Almost everyone was "The Departed" by the end...
I remember wanting to go see this movie as a 10 yr old with my mom taking me bc I was already so in love with cinema and especially mob movies directed by Scorsese but the ticket guy told my mom the movie is really graphic so I had to wait till it got released on DVD and was later gifted it by my mom and I can still remember the first time watching it and declaring “this will probably be my favorite all time movie for the rest of my life” and 16 years later it’s still my favorite movie of all time 😅
Oh my god they all look so young in this movie. Which makes me feel incredibly old
Keep rolling along joe.
So instead of becoming a clown in Gotham, Jack Napier moved to Boston in this alternative timeline?
I mean, let's be honest - that's probably what all Gotham villains should do.
Last time i was this early i was still attending the Prometheus school of running away from things
i see what you did there. aha.
Low key loved that cats line 😂 perfectly sums up leo’s character
Finally someone who refers to infernal affairs when talking about the departed. Literally the only vid I've seen that's done it. Well done
I'm guessing Jeremy is a fan of cats. This makes me want to see the Everything Wrong With Cats video even more.
The grand majority of his Twitter photos are of his cats, and they are rather cute. And I say this as a solid dog lady.
I guess you get 50 sins for not liking cats.
There is an official, and adorable, CinemaSins Cat name Wallace, aka Wallypants (and maybe Walstopher?) from way back when. He's a big goofy orange tomcat, and is either in the "Everything Wrong With CinemaSins" video or has an old video dedicated specifically to him. So cute.
You most certainly could text flawlessly in a pocket like that on a flip phone. I used to do it all the time.
thank you for this entire series. This is the type of comedy that really helps some people. Thank you
Definitely 1 of my all time favorite movies. Such a good one with an amazing cast
I have nothing left to request. I’ve waited two years for this. I can’t believe you finally did it.

"So what's it like, finding yourself?" The foreshadowing in this scene where Colin asks Madolyn about "finding yourself" and then he soon figures out what its like to try and "find yourself" in an investigation, I never put those two together. Scorsese you're a genuis
Ha.... just got that.... Cool put together!
16:47 not a sin
He's undercover so therefore as an officer he's liable to protect his identity (and all undercover identities) hence 'later' revealing they went to the same academy

The lady pulling her dog away from Sullivan was supposed to show how his past would prevent him from ever having a normal life
Really hard to get an All-Star cast like this together in a film nowadays and have it actually work
6:51 Leo's character got hit in the eye with a seemingly heavy toy just before
yes, it hit him right where the blood was. It was his own blood.
Honestly like half these sins are easily explained if you paid attention the movie. I feel bad for the dude who made this video because Departed is a pretty good movie if you have the intellect to keep up with and understand everything going on.
This is like watching a 21 minute Yelp review of a Michelin star restaurant
I also like the "Easter Eggs" Scorsese leaves in this movie... So apparently, there's an 'X' right before someone important gets killed in this movie. Like you can see one of those 'Xs' at 19:05 on the carpet before he gets wacked.
And also, Im pretty sure Scorsese explains why the buliding w/ the golden dome keeps getting closer & closer... I guess it means that these characters, (Damons especially) keep figuratively, "flying too close to the sun" & the golden dome being the sun?
I know I commented this already, but my favorite Easter egg is when Colin's is shot and after the croissants fall out it's revealed he bought the same groceries that Costello made the store owner give him as a child...except the sandwiches are pre-made. A guy like Colin isn't the type to make his own sandwiches.
You should've taken at least 20 sins off for the Elevator scene
It was garbage.
@@Ascoundrel Which is Exactly WHY it's such a good scene, nobody sees it coming, and the fact that it leaves one with more questions than answers gives the film re-watchability value to this day.
@@PIXPromosMore There's a thin like between "nobody saw it coming" and "it didn't exist until it happened," and there's not really much of any indication within the movie that Sullivan wasn't working alone.
Pix Promos It was such an unexpected turn lol. I was like "Oh shit! He dies?! Fuuuuuuuck!"

@@RC_Colorado you have shit taste in movies then
Mike Eckert
IMDb had it at an 8.5, up there with movies like The Green Mile, Gladiator and Terminator 2.
Not saying you're wrong, but you're probably in the minority here.
@@mullaoslo No. The film is shit. It's basically the moment Scorsese fully gave up any sense of craftsmanship and diligence and just starting loving the smell of his own masturbatory shit stink. Sure, it took him a decade or two longer than it took Quentin Tarantino, but this was the film where the benefit of the doubt ended for me. This wasn't a Scorsese film, it was a bad copy of a Scorsese film that just happened to be made by Martin Scorsese. It's as if Gordon Ramsey cook an amazing meal. Ate t. Shoved his fingers do3n his throat and spewed it back up into bowl, presented it all nice and offered it to you as a Gorden Ramsey meal. Technically not wrong, but fucking reheated puke and a cold, reformed mass of better movies.

5:40 I never thought I'd hear "Emergency Lobster Service" spoken out loudly
I recently saw something, but for the life of me, I can't remember where, that a guy had posted about his wife. Apparently, she had a really hard time understanding this movie because she didn't realize Matt Damon, and Leonardo DiCaprio were different people for most of the film. Which I thought was crazy, but then all these other people came forward and said they had the same problem. A few even threw Mark Wahlberg in there too. They shared links to some photos of the three men, where, I gotta admit, they did look a lot alike, but not to the extent you couldn't tell them apart. Just surprised that something that seems so obvious to me, wasn't to someone else.
LOL
All white people look alike if you don't meet them often
Holy shit, I guess more people than you know suffer from face blindness disorder. Can't tell Leonardo Di Caprio from Matt Damon, that's absolutely mental, Di Caprio is one of the most well known faces in Hollywood.
To be honest, I couldn't tell Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg apart.
I'm one. I can't watch this movie without getting confused at least part of the time. Leo and Mark look similar several times and they both play cops.
The lady pulling the dog away gets me every time 😂
@cinemasins you missed that jack didn’t even hit Leo with the boot I. That scene he completely missed and hit the table
It's like Scorsese puts in the odd half reference to some of his older films, just for the hell of it.
ive been waiting for this video for years
These videos are so good, clever smart funny, somebody really has a good head on their shoulders. Thank you for the hilarity. I'm going to try to support your advertisers as well. I've been binge-watching in this time of staying at home and not working. I will continue to like and share these videos on Facebook.

@@seancascanet3428 If he was a murdering criminal (or a criminal who caused the deaths of others) then I agree. It's great that he got a taste of his own medicine.
0:58 Yea, there's no need to show Dicaprio's character from childhood times. Just a guy with a so-so past who wants to be a cop.
Matt Damon's character on the other hand requires insight into the past. We need to see how he was groomed and sculpted by Jack Nicholson's character since he was a young boy. Otherwise, the audience would be in the dark as to why Damon's character was loyal to Nicholson's character. He his dad? Uncle? Child molesting neighbor?
We needed to see the cause, and purpose for Damon's character. Not Dicaprio's.
6:49 blood was on Billy’s face from getting hit with that phone earlier in the scene. I always thought it was a neat detail that it started bleeding after
I never understood why Frank Costello was made out to be an FBI informant. It didn't make sense back in 2006 and it doesn't make sense now. Like Jeremy said who the hell is Frank possibly giving up thats higher level than himself? When the entire movie he's made out to be the big bad.
That's it, I'm leavi... erm.. Departing.
