Trivia:
When Queenan and Dignam are interviewing Costigan, Costigan says "Families are always rising and falling in America." Queenan wants to know who said that, and it turns out to be Hawthorne. Dignam quips, "What's the matter smart ass, don't know any fuckin’ Shakespeare?" Later, as Queenan hands the clipboard to Sullivan, it is Queenan who quotes Shakespeare with "the readiness is all," from Hamlet's "Fall of a sparrow speech," Act V, scene ii. moreGoofs:
Continuity: When Costello gives Costigan money in the bar to have his arm checked out, he counts out three bills from the wad he's holding in his left hand and drops it on the pool table. In the next frame, the money has shifted to his right hand and there's no money on the table. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Frank Costello: I don't want to be a product of my environment. I want my environment to be a product of me. Years ago we had the church. That was only a way of saying - we had each other. The Knights of Columbus were real head-breakers; true guineas. They took over their piece of the city. Twenty years after an Irishman couldn't get a fucking job, we had the presidency. May he rest in peace. That's what the niggers don't realize. If I got one thing against the black chappies, it's this - no one gives it to you. You have to take it.

I got to see a sneak preview of it, and I must say: the BEST film of the year so far. Scorcese is at his best and truly deserves his anticipated first Oscar for this film. Also notable are the performances of Matt Damon (such a great "bad-guy;" he really must do stuff like this more often), Leo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson (as always), and Mark Wahlberg (best since Rockstar). However, some in the theater with me who had seen Infernal Affairs did say that Departed did not live up to the original. I have yet to see Affairs, but I honestly believe that Departed was pulled off well enough to really bring in some respectable awards in the upcoming season.
