The movie starts with Jack Nicholsan describing and justifying why he is the man people call "Frank Costello" and leave aside the shrouds of ethics and morality for a second and you'll be convinced by his reasoning as he says " You can be a Cop or a Criminal but , When you are faced with a loaded gun..What difference does it make ? "
Departed is a beautiful gem from the genious of Martin Scorsese. It's an struggle between the demons of right & wrong , loyality & betrayal , honesty and corruption ,doomed & ill fated , rise & fall , misfortunates & oppurtunists.
The shades are brilliantly potrayed by De Caprio & Damon.
Jack Nicholsan epitomises the evil yet does with a panache you'll love him for that.

WHY SPECIAL TO ME ? =
=====================
I have learnt many things from the movie. The foremost being ----- "We all do what we got to do in this world." Yeah we can go ahead and judge people and circumstances according to our convenience but then we won't be doing justice to either of them.
We are who we are and we are what we do.
WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET WHO WE ARE.
