Best of the Decade


#19

Martin Scorsese almost returns to his peak in his crime thriller The Departed (2006). This is a film that gives us all the patented Scorsese music and cinematography, mixed with a great performance by DiCaprio that finally made us realize he could play something other than a young boy. It is an energetic film that shows us a immoral society where there is no principles anymore. I am hoping in the future that Scorsese can give us a few more films like The Departed but I also think a lower budget would help the director return to his roots. Regardless this film finally netted Scorsese his much deserved Oscar (even if it was a make up award).
