I Am Killing You

So, I saw The Departed last night. 'Twas very, very good. **resists urge to go on a "Scorcesebetternotgetrobbedagaintthisyear" rant** It was definately more in line with his older, grittier films. And I liked that. I'd a friend who'd seen it and said Jack Nicholson dominated the screen, but I'm inclined to disagree. In my opinion, Leonardo DiCaprio owned the movie. I mean, Jack Nicholson is Jack Nicholson. He's always like that. You expect it. You accept it. It's good. But Leonardo DiCaprio was just sooo intense, it was amazing. I'm gonna say it. He deserves an Oscar nom and I will be pissed if he does not get it. I'm glad he's turned out to be the sort of actor he is. Matt Damon was, of course, brilliant as well. I was reading a Time Magazine interview thing with "Jack, Matt, Leo, and Marty" and it mentioned how he (Damon) doesn't really play bad guys that often, so I suppose it should have seemed odd to see him in an antagonistic role, but it wasn't. He just plays a dick so well. As does Alec Baldwin. Oh, and I really like Mark Wahlberg (and his character) in this movie.

Anyway, the execution and direction was beautiful and very well done. The plot worked. I remember really enjoying some of the mes en scene and camera angles, though now I really can't remember what they were and that makes me sad. Well, except for one thing, but that...and everything else I have to say about the film is a ( spoiler. )
