52. The Departed (4/5)

I am doing a review after almost 1 month of watching it. Honestly, I had already forgotten some elements and part of the story.

I find this movie great, and mind boggling. You need to think. The story circles on pretend and spying. The great thing is that as an audience, you know their real identities. Somehow you feel more powerful than the characters themselves, you have a view of the bigger picture.

As a writer, it would still take 5-10 more years before I could write something like this. I admire the twist and turns, and it would be really hard to create something like that without loopholes.

I am starting to like Leonardo De Caprio. Come to think of it, the on-going Philippine Soap Opera: Minsan lang kita Iibigin, might have gained inspiration from this movie. I don't want to give you the wrong idea, Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin is original what I am refering to is the idea of two people placed on the other side of their life's coin. Gosh, I want to blog about Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin now! (The two stories are way way different, but you know, you can really get great ideas from existing ideas)

I salute the writers! :) The director and the actors!

Writer is William Monahan, director is Martin Scorsese remember that Nika.

I give this movie 4/5
