Movie Review Final

The Departed
The Departed, released in 2006, is an interesting tale of a game of cat and mouse between the Massachusetts State Police and an Irish-American gang. The film stars Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Mark Wahlberg. It’s a remake of the Japanese film Infernal Affairs. The story is engaging, and, at times, confusing. The music was edited into the movie really well, and the transitions between scenes were interesting, and for the most part, didn’t take you out of the experience. This film ranks as one of the best films of 2006 on my list, and on the list of many others. The Departed would get a three and a half out of five.

The Graduate

The Graduate is a movie about a graduate from college that comes home, and is seduced by one of his parents’ married friends. He gives into the lust, and meets her at a hotel time and time again. Eventually he has to take her daughter out on a date, so that both families don’t suspect anything. He ends up falling in love with the daughter, and in the end, he gets her, even though everything is going against him. The shots used in the movie are interesting, mixing foreground with background and the subject. Editing is quite intriguing, especially in one spot, where Benjamin, the main character goes from sleeping with the woman to his home life over and over in a few seconds. I’d give the graduate a four out of five.

The Great Train Robbery

The Great Train Robbery is known as one of the first films ever made. There are static shots, and all scenes are taken from one position. I’m sure when it was released, it was visually stunning, but in the year 2007, the black and white bad picture quality is quite bland. The characters all overact, due to being used to doing it for the plays, and the whole time there is annoying, repetitive music in the background, with no sound effects. I did not like this movie at all, and would rate it a one out of five.
