Thrilling to Watch, Less Thrilling to Make - With DiCaprio and Matt Damon on The Departed “I had to work with the studio very closely. Screen it, argue, discuss it. I don’t know if it’s worth going through the process again. When I was finishing, I said, ‘I’m out of here.” Conversations with Scorsese, Richard Schickel (via Hollywood Reporter)

Although many of the plot devices are similar in Scorsese’s film…this is Scorsese’s film all the way because of his understanding of the central subject of so much of his work: guilt. It is reasonable to assume that Boston working-class men named Costigan, Sullivan, Costello, Dignam, and Queenan were raised as Irish American Catholics, and that if they have moved outside of the church’s laws, they have nevertheless not freed themselves of a sense of guilt. The much-married Scorsese once told me that he thought that he would go to hell for violating the church’s rules on marriage and divorce, and I believed him. Now think of the guilt when you are simultaneously one, committing crimes, and two, deceiving the men who depend on you. Both Billy and Colin are doing that, although perhaps only a theologian could name their specific sin. A theologian, or Shakespeare, whose advice from Polonious they do not heed: “To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.” -Roger Ebert on The Departed, excerpted from Scorsese by Ebert
