There are many things these movies have in common and that is they both flat out sucked ass. Don’t get me wrong, really don’t, they suck ass. In this paper I will merely try to fine positive pieces from these films and make a conclusion to witch sucked the biggest ass.
In the movie the Departed the story was told from the cops POV and the mobs, but the way the movie is poorly filmed you are made to be on the police side of the confliction. The most interesting part of the story is that there is a mole working for the mob, disguise as an FBI agent and a mole working for the police and infiltrating the mob for info. The story doesn’t sound that bad on paper, but due to bad directing and further writing the story is told letting the audience know from the start, the ID of both moles, destroying any chance at suspense. The movie was lame because the viewer is watching an hour and a half film about a bunch of stupid people trying to find out who the mole is and that annoying fat guy in the back of the theater is left pointing and saying in a board tone, “There he is right there, there’s your mole”. The film had not one thing going for it not to mention there is next to know action in the entire movie. And just when I thought the movie couldn’t get any worse the director rewards me with the most awful ending that I have ever seen…EVER! In the end of the Departed all of the main characters die form the most repetitive deaths I have ever witness…EVER! Every character (Except for the girl) is simply shot in the head with a pistol. Shoot in the head. Shout in the head. Shot in the head. And shot in the head. The conclusion to the film is so horrible it makes me clench in fear of the most repetitively suck-ish ending in the history of the film industry.
As for the Godfather. It’s a classic and has a high repatriation for some of its most famous lines, but I quit honestly feel this movie is too out dated for younger generations to enjoy. Again there is next to no action in this mobster film. At least the deaths in this film are much cleverer and less repetitive. In the movie the Godfather the story is told and unfolds with a fresh new feel of making a powerful mob family the main characters to support in the film. The family is large and is hard too tell who’s-who with all the characters looking the same as this generations grandfathers once looked. I did like how it was partly a mystery on which family member the story would end on focusing its most attention towards. I was surprised to find that the clean-cut guy (Mike) back from the military would end up taking control of the family’s busies after his dad desist. The movie ends with the power going to Mike’s head as he is the new Don who kills his brother-in-law who had beaten his wife and then killed one of Mike’s brothers (Sunny). The last see is Mike lying to his wife about the murder and then a group of men come into the room kissing his hand with a sign of respect to there new leader and a guard of Mike’s closes a door in his wife’s face. This leaves the fat annoying guy in the back of the theater with more of a shock look and saying, “Wow I guess he was more involved in the mob then I thought. This is a petty good movie!”
Over all I like The Godfather much better then The Departed although I don’t like mobster movies in general.
