It's St. Patty's day and the perfect day for the film- THE DEPARTED! The opening title song track over all the Bostonian Irish, such a powerful film no matter how husky the corporate film budget was. Baldwin was so hilarious too, just being his natural bat-crazy self. THE DEPARTED it shall be tonight.
*The Departed refers to death and the dead. The movie has plenty of both. When Costigan is at his mother's grave, he sees a wreath from Costello with a note reading, "Heaven holds the Faithful Departed". The phrase "faithful departed" appears to be used by Christians to refer to deceased members of their congregation.
