It was funny seeing Scorsese going up to accept his award, when he got the microphone he asked, "can you reread the envelop? are you sure this is right?" It was about time he won an academy award for his work. Although he deserves most of the credit, like I said, the cast of the movie was the heart and brain of the movie. Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and Alec Baldwin all can be in a movie without each other and still thrive. The fact that this was a cast is amazing, because if you compare them from back then to now, they have all reached great success in their careers. It's almost like Freaks and Geeks or Parks and Recreation, where the cast is 100% talented and each member goes on to achieve success.
I don't want to spoil the movie, so all I can say is The Departed is a great sequence of realistic crime twists in a south Boston police department and this movie will leave you at the last scene with your jaw on the ground.
