Just watched the movie The Departed this afternoon.

To those who haven’t watch the movie yet: This post contains a lot of spoilers so please stop reading if you don’t want to read them.

The plot was very interesting. Here’s a very short intro.

DiCaprio plays a policeman who infiltrates the mobsters, and goes through quite a lot to keep his secret and remain sane with all the murders he’s witnessing.

At the opposite end is Matt Damon. He plays a policeman who is raised by the mobster (Jack Nicholson). He tips them to avoid getting arrested.

The movie was very entertaining, and full of unexpected twists at the end.

Brilliant performances by Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, and Matt Damon.

All main characters died at the end. It got me wondering on what the movie was trying to say.

Maybe, the writer wants to show that life is not fair and you’re better off watching your own back.
