[@gustubo5602]

Gotta love how Shipping Up To Boston plays softly in the background before exploding into the prison montage. Dammit does Scorsese knows how to use music in his movies

[@chrisoniceskates]

TheNicestJerk I’m not dissing Scorsese, but that’s such a mediocre thing to compliment him for. The way it’s faded in is really just standard. Maybe if Shipping up to Boston had a more lowkey intro which was played on the downlow throughout the briefing scene (bonus points if its coming from a diegetic source, like a radio in the office), only to be ramped up right at the scene change, it’d be more commendable, but seeing as the song only starts 7 seconds before the change, it doesn’t really seem overly impressive. I’ll give you that having the song start, then suddenly boosting the audio jars the audience, which corresponds to the sudden change from Office to Prison, but since the audience has already been told that’s where Damon’s character is going, there isn’t much of a visual surprise to go along with it.

[@napalmkitty6686]

Love it like a prologue

[@MrKajithecat]

I loved that scene. They were giving him shit as a test to see how he'd handle it. Both Queenan and Dignam knew he was very smart, so smart he could fool Boston thugs and Costello himself. They wouldn't waste those smarts.

[@22steve5150]

I think that what they liked about how smart he was is that they thought (rightfully so) that it would endear him to Costello, who was also very well educated and might see Costigan as a possible protoge. They knew he'd be a great undercover because he grew up having to play pretend ghetto thug every weekend at his father's house growing up, despite spending most of his childhood living in a nice neighborhood at his mother's house.

[@v-trigger6137]

[@hornplayerchris]

Also might be the latest title card of any movie I've ever seen. I don't think this scene happens until 10-15 minutes into the movie.

[@rosendomunoz3872]

The title card appears on minute 17 in the movie so... yeah it's late

[@pruthvish007]

[@BadNewsLexis]

I know I'm late but just wanted to add on Gangs of NY the title comes at the end of the movie....

[@zeizee]

For all of Leo's films, this one was the hardest to see him get killed. He was almost a biblical figure in this movie, from tough childhood to young man whos mom, and only family he loves dies. He sacrifices everything for his mission and he has decided to nail the rat, no matter what it takes. In the end he is going to kill Sullivan cause he knows that he plans getting rid of him too. And most importantly Billy wants to avenge death of Sheens character, which Billy kinda thought as father figurish kinda... Then he gets killed and the goodness of Billys character shows on the actions of two people who knew his strugle best: shrink and Dignam. Shrink wont even talk or acknowledge Sullivan, she hates him so much. Dignam murders Sullivan and wants him to see that who kills him. And the third person who knew Billy the best, Sheens character, rather died than gave Billy up.

[@MadMaxTheRoadWarrior]

Why did they kill him off hes a good actor?

[@marshallzane7735]

Mad Max 1056 The Road Warrior Why would the fact that he's a good actor make any difference? They killed him off because that's what was in the script.

[@ankitpersie1]

Aptly summarized..Billy Costigen is such a lovable character..i can't describe in words how well written that character is..His death was truly heartbreaking..

[@mrperson0140]

Leo should've gotten an Oscar for this movie. This is one of his top 5 performances.

[@EnriqueDeloSantos603]

joonas lehtonen I disagree with the assertion that Billy intended to kill Sullivan ...in the rooftop scene before his death we see Billy acknowledge that killing Sullivan woulda been too good for him bcuz of the “bagpipes” and parade that goes with honoring a fallen officer. Billy wanted to arrest Sullivan - hence the line: “I could give a f*ck if the charges don’t stick - I’m still arresting you” Also - in the elevator Sullivan tearfully asks Billy to “just f*ckin kill” him and Billy responds by saying that “he is” killing him - acknowledging that exposing Sullivan for what he was made it just as bad as ending his life

[@LePoeToaster]

This intro was what got me into the movie. Since the first time I saw it, I've loved it. Epic film, right there.

[@mitchellwagoner6631]

This is a great movie. Seen it MANY times. Good music to.

[@krombopmike5339]

I'm a sucker for this intro. The movie moves VERY fast in the beginning, but then that song kicks in and you know that the chess pieces have been set on the board. One of my favorite movies of all time. It's a twice a year watch for me.

[@Ghost.Nappa56]

The title drop is so hard man fucking love this movie

[@BaileysMariner]

Two things, one - Leo's subtle reaction when the guy says "no offence" is gold. Two - notice how our view is obstructed in that shot, right up to the moment he says "Sean Costigan" - and pow, it becomes clear. It's the moment Billy starts to see his way into the business.

[@GigaChadh976]

Hell yeah. His reaction was basically “you don’t know the half of it.”

[@WalterMasterZ]

And then he sign in some paperwork jail but symbolicaly his contract for the underworld. Scorcese is a master.

[@polypeptide]

Ahh never thought about that. Nice!

[@andrewapgar3273]

Notice how when the camera pans past Sullivan, there is an "X" taped on the window that lands on him. Scorcese was marking him for death early on.

[@Jdmxrtinez]

Yea but there are a ton of xs on costigan when he's in jail

[@jocojoel]

[@rajendramalakar5977]

Taxi Driver was the first Scorsese's film I watched. It was truly great. The Departed was the second one for me. It had one of the greatest endings

[@bergurhallgrims]

Jail time. That's the beauty of the setup. He goes FULL undercover. They can't conceal that he was a cop so they convict him of a crime. It stays in his records, he does the full jail time so nothing looks suspicious and doesn't look like a setup. He also has to see a shrink after doing time. Everything like Cpt. Queenan explains, the whole nine yards. That's also why he doesn't get paid as regular cops but gets a bonus. He's basically selling them his life.

[@vitalityfox]

He probably only spent a few months in jail if he was put on probation and court ordered to see a shrink.

[@HouseOfJamo]

Truly one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen

[@toseeornot2see]

I just love how Scorsese does things. The song starts softly while DiCaprio is with the Police chief and then gets loud when he's in prison and then just stops when DiCaprio meets his aunt. The whole sequence is so cool.

[@tonyrodriguez2943]

[@InfamousMedia]

as a bostonian i can say this movie depicts our area and people pretty well compared to most movies. helps having locals like mark wahlberg and matt damon too

[@mg19cal]

I like how at 1:10 the "X" foreshadowed Sullivan's death, perfectly timed to look like a target on his back, even though as you watch the film he LITERALLY makes it all the way to the end and it has you thinking he *WON'T* die, but you're rewarded at the very end when he does

[@CAinfowarrior]

" GET RID OF THE FUCKING TAIL!! "

Intertwined destinies. One hunts the other. I can't think of too many other 1-v-1s in film that are that good.

[@bergurhallgrims]

Ok so lets assume they write it down. Costello is a big time criminal who's very careful and he starts asking around. Who did time with Billy and it comes up short. Nobody who did time supposedly at the time time remembers Billy . Also that means that he can't be seen anywhere. A guy that's suppose to be in jail can't been seen in the supermarket. So basically he has to disappear for the time that's he's supposed to be in jail. That would also raise questions. Too risky, too many loose ends.
