Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This is interesting...

I'd like to hear more.

Your first sentence could be said about virtually any film; how does it speak to the qualitative nature of this one?

What is the "blowing out of brains" telling of? Again in the context of an argument for the film's quality.

What are the uniforms or frocks or their lack thereof "interesting keys" to?

The "twins" device is a classic one but does its mere inclusion imbue or underpin automatic excellence?

Finally, are you aware of the inherent derivative nature of The Departed, it being a virtually straight forward remake of the Japanese original? Isn't it incumbent on the part of the "copiers", so to speak, to attempt to bring something new to the remake attempt? The new, or lack thereof, then becoming legitimately subject to a qualitative comparison to the original, or to previous standards set by the "copiers"?

I give you the fact that the character renderings are personal judgement calls and are a pointless object of pursuit for argument.
