#CAPRICORN ENEMIES AND FRIENDS FULL#
Getting this man won't be easy because he has a full bag of tricks. I didn't add the word distinguished because scandal crept around that man all his life. He came from a really interesting family because a brother of his William Bulger had a long political career that culminated in that Bulger being elected President of the Massachusetts State Senate. Nicholson's character is based on Whitey Bulger who was the real life organized crime chieftain of the Boston area. That was Scorsese's little joke because the real Frank Costello was one of the Mafia overlords back in the day, although his real name was an Italian one. The film is simple enough, the police want to take down organized crime kingpin Jack Nicholson who plays a character named Frank Costello. Instead of an Italian atmosphere for The Departed, Scorsese decided to use the Boston Irish who are the dominant group of that city in everything including crime. But it certainly was the Best Film of that year as well, rivaled in my humble opinion by Blood Diamond. It's not my favorite Scorsese film, that honor belongs to Casino for me. When The Departed finally gained for Martin Scorsese a Best Director Oscar it was felt it might have been for the work of a lifetime.
