LOL at this post made on 10/27/07. I finally saw this on 5/27/08 (trippy that it's on the 27th's just noticed that). I guess that's what... 7 months later, interesting. Anyways. WOW AT THIS FILM. COMPLETELY BLEW MY MIND AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY A MASTERPIECE AND PERFECT TO ME. holy cow. makes you THINK. not just about what is going on, but about LIFE. forces you to look at your own life and also just made me realize how many people are not honest with themselves, including me. it's one thing to not be honest with other people but to not be honest with yourself, well that's a path called slow suicide.
the cinematography and music are both great. the music never calls attention to itself, i love that. it adds and doesn't overpower like so many scores do (in flawed and sophistic attempts to make a scene feel). the cinematography is INCREDIBLE. that guy Robert Elswit is definitely one of the best cinematographers working today (there will be blood, etc.).
acting is what makes this film. of course along with that is the script. which SHOULD HAVE THE ACADEMY NO DOUBT NO QUESTION. this film should have won a lot more academies.
i liked the departed a lot. i felt every scene was pretty killer. but this film, is like 3 times better than the departed. holy crap sooooo good.
i would say more but it's turning into a rant from a teen obsessed with a boy band. just. see it. and masterpiece. a classic.
