The Departed Official Trailer #1 - (2006) HD


When I first watched The Departed, I thought it had a riduculous hollywood ending.
But then I found out!

I was in Tokyo last night. Tokyo drift is a documentary.

Quoted:
In the pilot episode of the Lone Gunman, the plot involved a rogue group that hijacked an airliner out of Boston to crash it into the World Trade Center so a terrorist group would be blamed and a new war would start.

It aired March 4, 2001.

I'll have to check that out.

I recall there is a pre-2001 Clancy novel with a similar plot, though in that case, IIRC, the antagonists were actually state sponsored terrorists and the target was the White House and/or capitol building.

Debt of Honor.  US war with Japan. A Japanese KAL pilot drives a 747 into the Capitol Building during the State Of The Union address, in best kamakaze fashion.  For which Clancy was pillioried by people like Christopher Buckley for the ending being cliched and unrealistic....

He and Clancy had quite the fax feud supposedly going for awhile afterwards.  I never read of Chris issuing a followup, post 9/11...

Not a movie, but Bill Gates's group having their global emergency preparedness exercise on a novel Coronavirus...in 2019, was perhaps a bit too on-point.

I think the Sim Devs just get bored and or lazy, every so often.  Fiction is hard...

Every time a commie tries to encapsulate the evils of fascism, they wind up describing modern communism.

"They Live" is another excellent example.


I'd argue the evils of communism outweigh that of nationalism or fascism by magnitudes of order.   But they're all still arguments against centralized control (ie powerful governments).

Debt of Honor. The pilot wasn't state-sponsored. He just wanted revenge on the US for killing his son in a war that his country started, and got the Capitol during a joint session of Congress.

Like a lot of the cautionary tales about a fictitious totalitarian future that were told from the perspective of the left, it turned out to be nothing but a story of projective yearning

I'm told "Climate Change is REAL" & I've been told "You Can't Stop What Is Coming".

So I'm already embracing the Change You want to see ...

I have worked with Sean Patrick Flanery, twice. I really like the guy.

This is the great irony of certain leftist attempts at fiction aimed to instruct: they think they're portraying right-wingers as the bad guys, but the actions of the bad guys are usually the actions of left-wingers. Liberals think the bad guys in V for Vendetta are conservative right wingers setting up their authoritarian system. Conservatives think authoritarianism is a left-wing thing.

This.  Went and saw it in the theater on a lazy summer evening because there was nothing else to do and had no idea what the movie really was.

Came out going,

Still one of my all time faves.
