“Martin Sheen pops like a grape!” - Andrew on Captain Queenan’s demise
On this month’s We ❤️ Movies, Remake-ril is in full effect as we chat about Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning remake, The Departed!
A reimagining of Andrew Lau Wai-Keung & Alan Mak’s Infernal Affairs, this is the flick that finally won Scorsese his first (and only) Oscar for directing. How majestic are all these wild-ass accents flying around this movie? Is this Marty’s most grim look at the mob? How great is this Damon/Farmiga elevator meet cute? Isn’t it great looking back at all this quaint cell phone technology? And how lucky are we to have gotten one last amazing Nicholson psycho performance? PLUS: If Yondu from Guardians of the Galaxy shows up at your apartment wearing paper booties, look out!
The Departed stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Ray Winstone, Vera Farmiga, Anthony Anderson, Alec Baldwin, Kevin Corrigan, James Badge Dale, and Jack Nicholson as Frank Costello; directed by Martin Scorsese.
