Film of the year

With a super- stellar cast , brilliant direction and editing , superb soundtrack and a fast moving , complex tale of deception and loyalty ,The Departed http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=the+departed&search=Search http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0407887/01742.jpg.html?path=gallery&path_key=0407887&seq=5 http://thedeparted.warnerbros.com/ is surely film of the year. Every decade that I have been visiting the Cinema , Martin Scorsese , http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800014966/filmography has produced at least one classic film that defines its relative generation. From the creepy noir of Taxi Driver , the stunning bio-pic of Raging Bull and the ultra violence of Good Fellas he always entertains and illuminates. In this Century he has provoked career - defining performances from Jack Nicholson http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/contributor/1800014966/filmography Matt Damon http://www.matt-damon.com/ Mark Wahlberg http://www.markwahlberg.com/ and Leonardo Dicaprio http://www.leonardodicaprio.com/ and even Ray Winston http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935653/ who hasn't really dropped his cockney accent since I was fortunate enough to see him at the Donmar Warehouse http://www.donmarwarehouse.com/ in a play directed by Sam Mendes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Mendes So this extremely violent gangster movie keeps one gripped from start to finish , despite its bum -numbing length . It seems that everyone in Hollywood is involved,,even Brad Pitt is the producer! A must see...
