livendive 8 #1 February 23, 2007 So I was watching The Departed last night and thinking the character development was really complex. The basic premise is that the cops have a mole in the mob, and the mob has a mole within the police ranks. The part that was getting to me was how they seemed to be the same person, perhaps with dual personalities ala Fight Club, or with some unstated but overwhelming motivation to sabotage both sides. Over an hour into the movie, I suddenly realized none of this was true. The two actors are Matt Damon and Leonardo DeCaprio, who don't even really look all that similar until you put their young, girlish faces and personalities up next to a manly man like Jack Nicholson. I mean, Scorsese wouldn't put TWO ladyboys in a "guy flick", would he?! They had to be the same character! Realizing my perception of the story was all wrong and I should probably just start it over, I hit the button and went to bed. Maybe tonight I'll give it another shot.
