The,Round,Review,Departed,What entertainment The Round Up Review - The Departed
Know your event objective. If the aim of the event is to educate people then the entertainment is not the key element of the event. You would do better to use some light form of entertainment during the break to help attendees unwind and rel Music is a vast sea and there are lots of singers in the world who earn so much fame because of their singing, voice and style and Rob Thomas is one of them. He is one of the best singers whose songs become very popular and he has great fan
What can I say? A blazing return to form from Scorsese? Best film since GoodFellas? Martin shows us why hes considered one of the greatest directors of all time?Yes, yes and yes.Although there is also a BUT coming too and well get to it in a second. First lets talk about the film itself.The Departed is a complex story set in and around the police departments & underworld of Boston. Crime boss Frank Costello (Jack Nicholson) manages to impregnate the Police staff with one of his own boys, Colin Sullivan (Matt Damon). While new police graduate, Billy Costigan (Leonardo DiCaprio) is drafted in by the cops to one of Costellos crews. And so begins one of the most excellent games of cat and mouse ever brought to screen. Nicholson, Damon and DiCaprio are all on career best form and act up a storm. All three are ably supported by Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin and Mark Walberg. In fact, Walberg more than holds his own in this company and its the first time since Boogie Nights that we really get to see what he can be capable of.Hey, Its won 4 Oscars so it must be good! And it sure is, in fact Id go as far to say that its one of the best films Ive seen in a very long time.But, and there is a BUT with this film, and this is the time for it. When you watch GoodFellas, you felt as if you were spying into a world of gangsters and mobsters. You were getting a front row seat to a world that really existed. Where these characters, although larger than life, were still very real and believable.The problem I have with The Departed is that although its impeccably acted, its just that, Acted. I never feel as if Im spying into that secret world like I did with GoodFellas. I simply felt as if I was watching a great film, with great actors and a great story. It never made that leap into the world where I was completely immersed in the story and characters. I just felt as if, Wow, Jack Nicholson really is a great actor. And I should have been thinking, Christ, I really hope I never bump into Frank Costello!.And as a final point, that last shot on the balcony right at the end o f the film was completely unnecessary, if the idea was to underline the fact theres a lot of Rat Bastards out there etc, it simply wasnt needed and ends up being a rather cheap shot. But hey, thats just my opinion.That being said, The Departed is a great film and one that I fully intend to watch again. Plus, if you dont agree, I want to hear about it. Thats whats great about The Round Up, were able to revaluate our opinions if youre able to make a good enough point!
