They Were All Lying. | The Departed Explained

You walked in thinking it was a cat and mouse thriller. You walked out not knowing what hit you.The Departed isn't a crime film. It's a tragedy that disguised itself as one, and Scorsese hid the ending in the very first scene. The X on the comic book cover. Costello's opening monologue. All of it was telling you exactly how this ends. You just didn't speak the language.Today we go through the whole film, the corner store recruitment, the two lives running in opposite directions, the paranoia, the betrayals, Queenan's death, the elevator, all of it, and by the end you'll never watch those final ten minutes the same way again. #thedeparted #martinscorsese #filmanalysis #filmexplained #crimefilm #scorsese #moviebreakdown #cinemaanalysis #recommended #movie #film
