Just a day after its launch...

Just a day after its launch, a Kickstarter to painstakingly edit the infamous rat out of a 35mm cut of Martin Scorsese’s 2006 Oscar-winning crime drama The Departed exceeded its crowdfunding goal of $4,000. But if you’d like to see what this might look like prior to the debut of the 35mm revision, Twitter has delivered.

Director Adam Sacks is the brains behind the Kickstarter effort to purge The Departed of its vermin, an undertaking he told Gizmodo he plans to make good on. He writes on Kickstarter that it had always bothered him “that a movie as good as The Departed has such a cheesy ending, and I recently realized it could be fixed by digitally erasing the rat from the last shot.” But on Wednesday, the Twitter account Eyes On Cinema shared a clip of the scene it said was edited by Mark LaCroix, sans rat.

“Fun fact: the view out the window was digitally inserted in the film, which made tracking the shot in order to remove the rat more difficult than you’d expect because the original motion matching... wasn’t quite perfect,” LaCroix tweeted. We’ve reached out to LaCroix about the clip and will update if we hear back.

Sacks, who says he does not know LaCroix, told Gizmodo by email that while the clip shared to Twitter “is a nice pre-visualization for what I’m setting out to do,” it doesn’t accomplish the end goal of printing the edited version onto 35mm film—true to the work of film evangelist Scorsese.

“It’s well documented that Martin Scorsese is a strong believer in shooting movies on film and preserving the art of making movies on film,” Sacks said. “Therefore, I think erasing the rat in his movie, and claiming that you’re done without also putting it onto 35mm film, is disrespectful to Mr. Scorsese’s legacy.”

Sacks meticulously outlined how his budget of $4,000 would be spent, a 9-part process that will include purchasing a Blu-ray player and ripper software, paying a visual effects artist to cut the rat, a lengthy process involving printing the movie onto 33mm film and then converting it back to digital, and hiring an intern to burn all of the copies of the remedied version of The Departed once Sacks is able to pull it all off (at a fair $15 an hour, no less).

Now that he’s reached his goal, it sounds like Sacks has his work cut out for him. The Kickstarter states an estimated delivery date of November for any Blu-ray copies of the final product, but Sacks says he’s “hoping to get it done well before then.”

never seen this movie, redpill me on the rat and why its a big deal

What the fuck is wrong with the rat in that scene? God I hate the western faggots with nothing better to do than get outraged over meaningless shit so damn much.

Is this an Onion article? i am confuse.

"Let's take any subtlety and throw it out the window"
That is why

"The rat" refers to Jack Nicholson, who runs by the camera at the very end of the movie. After his recent sexual harassment allegations, people would prefer not to have him in the film.

Sounds retarded. The rat is fine

>4,000 us dineros to fuck around in after affects to remove a rat
This is a money laundering scheme.

Sounds about as autistic as removing female characters from Star Wars lmao

I always assumed the rat was in the apartment because Mark Wahlberg left it there as a mafia thing

While he's at it, can he alter the film's color grading so the whole "gritty cop drama" doesn't look like an episode of law & order?

He’s right you know

More importantly, why the fuck are the people only just now complaining about it, 15 years after the movie's release? Have people run out of things to be outraged about that they have to dig into old movies to find something?

>those fucking INCELS and their....
>*picks card*
>anti-rat symbolism!!

>incels
>girlfriends
You're dumber than him, somehow.

the rat is perfect, a funny little joke, visual gag. It's playful. he always puts stuff like that in. but people are too puritan and pretentious

>implying the departed is even worth the effort

Fun flick but that’s all it is. Scorsese is one of the legends, but his films since Goodfellas have been rehashes or just entertainment.

This is an honest question. What subtlety? There is no ambiguity over who did what by the end of the movie. Perhaps the reason scorsese didn't see a problem with it is that he couldn't imagine a single person watching the movie and not understanding that the cop was a rat. The dumb bitch I watched it with understood. I'm sure a 10 year old would understand. The rat was just some lighthearted imagery, and I truly believe that if you saw it and thought wowwwwww all the subtlety just gone like that you might be vastly overestimating how smart you are.

This. I didn't even remember there was an actual rat at the end of the movie

>The dumb bitch I watched it with understood.
That's not a very nice thing to call your mother.

>implying there was any subtlety throughout the rest of the movie.

i mean, it's decent but it's like a tarintino flick in terms of seriousness. way over the top for no reason. people act like that rat ruined an otherwise perfect drama.

>I am killing you. *dies*

Wow this movie is so deep, how dare Scorsese put the rat in.

What bothers me more is how much superior Infernal Affairs is to the Departed.

>“A lot of people don’t like the rat at the end,” says Monahan, 46, who was a successful novelist (“Light House: A Trifle”) and journalist (as an editor at Spy magazine) before dedicating himself to screenwriting. “In the Jacobean stage, you’d have this tremendous bloodbath at the end of a work, and then the next thing that would happen is the clown would come out. And everyone in the theater would laugh and it would take the edge off the intense experience.
>“I tell ya, people would leave the theater feeling a lot different if it wasn’t for that rat.”

Deal with it plebs.

>it's better because it's foreign!
No. They're both over the top thrillers, but Departed has better acting, better direction and better themes.

It's a comedy you fuckin homo.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND what the fuck is everyone's ISSUE WITH THE RAT what does it spoil, it's obviously a play on words but what does that mean that it seems stupid is it because you think it's talking about Marky Mark like some kind of reveal or something? no you don't because that's FUCKING RETARDED and unnecessary so what does it mean IT'S CLEARLY JUST REFERENCING THAT THE MOVIE WAS ABOUT TWO SPYS otherwise called RATS OR SNITCHES and WE ALL KNEW THAT so what's the fucking issue is it just because it's there does it feel unneeded because we already knew THE MOVIE WAS ABOUT TWO RATS BECAUSE IT'S THE VERY END OF THE MOVIE AND ALREADY SAW THE WHOLE STORY YEAH NO SHIT YOU'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT FUCKING NOTHING why should it be there? why shouldn't it be there so what it's just that old fucking FUCKING AROUND WITH HIS MOVIE TO FIT HIS IMAGINED AESTHETIC it's FICTION BEING PRESENTED AS A STORY AND PERMITS ALLEGORICAL VISUAL CUES THAT DON'T NEED TO MEAN ANYTHING IMPORTANT THEY'RE JUST THERE BECAUSE THEY CAN BE so the only thing you could be complaining about is that the extra moments of screen time are wasting you're precious life but THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE EITHER BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY SITTING AND WATCHING SCORSESE'S WORST MOVIE IT'S NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS PEOPLE THINK IT IS LEONARDO D'CRAPRIO AS I LIKE TO CALL HIM HAMMED IT UP LIKE A PIG IN FUCKING HEAT AND THE OLD ITALIAN FUCK COULDN'T SEE THROUGH HIS THICK FUCKING GLASSES THE WHINY FUCKING EXPRESSIONS ON THAT LITTLE REVERANT CUNT'S FACE AND SAID YEAH ROLL THE CLIP JOHNNY so just go watch Goodfellas like a normal person or CASINO IF YOU THINK YOU'RE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE OR SILENCE IF YOU ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT ABOUT SEEING GROUNDBREAKING MOVIES BECAUSE IT DESERVED TO WIN BEST PICTURE EVEN THAT GILBERT GRAPE RETARD IN REAL LIFE D'CRAPRIO HAS ONE OF THOSE NOW THE ACADEMY IS A JOKE NIGGERS AND WOMEN RUINED IT

I don't even remember any rat. Also there is nothing ambiguous about the movie at all so i dont get it

I didnt even remember a rat being on it, and all this autism about it is pretty fucking retarded.

*hits bong* Lmao like dudes like I don't even remember the rat loooooooooool

6 trillion iQ coming through

If anything they should replace that cover of Comfortably Numb.

Hey, FAGGOTS, leave that rat alone.

Did Jack Nicholson get caught up with metoo or something?

Yeah, apparently he was sexually harassed by Matt Damon. He is bravely speaking out about it now.

>After his recent sexual harassment allegations, people would prefer not to have him in the film.
For God's sake, I hate this ridiculous political climate we're in, I want the people in these mindless snowflake mobs to die.
Can we digitally erase the people behind this kickstarter out of existence?

This is really accurate. The Departed is a good movie but it’s not complex or far-reaching. It’s impossible for such a film to be ‘ruined’ by a rat.

this is severely autistic

Lol you are either good faking outrage or really fucking stupid.

it's boston there's fucking rats everywhere. anyway i could've done that edit for free in like 15 minutes. just pause the shot of the statehouse before the rat enters the frame

He's now going to google it, realise he's retarded, and pretend he was trolling

The ending was ruined anyways by not letting the corrupt cop win, like in Infernal Affairs.

The whole movie is as corny as that rat, the departed is shit.

But king of comedy....now that is a film

Rat is inoffensive. What ruined the movie was the forced romance. Or better yet: Can you erase that tryhard, one-eyebrow-emotion diCaprio instead?

ok this is ep

absolute retard but might not be in the future

literally the most baffling decision marty ever made but since the flick sucks balls anyway who gives a fuck honestly

Filmschools were a mistake

>better direction and better themes.

If scamming it's so easy, why am I not doing it?

>I KNOW WHAT YOU AH OK I KNOW WHAT YOU AH AND I KNOW WHAT YOURE NAHT

Alright, I'm going to see how long it actually takes to remove the rat in Premier.

>it doesn't have this because .... it's a remake REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Try using an argument next time retard.

i dont remember if it's a pan shot or just still

if the camera is stationary it takes you about a minute

Spending this kind of money on a 2/5 flick

BAKA senpai

Why did you start speaking in Japanese?

There is a pan.

A tilt.

the final shot is cheesy even without the rat

but is it while the rat is walking? If I remember right, it pans, stops and then the rat shows up. Then it's insanely easy

just saw it on youtube

my bad, that's way harder to do on premiere

it's a pan upwards

Take a look. This is the vid I just downloaded.

big penis post

yeah that's harder to do. panning upwards while getting close it's slightly harder to track

>panning upwards
pan is only left and right.

people are complaining about this? lol

You need to fuck off m8. Everyone's nearly killed off by the end of the movie, yet the rat is still there. Because there will always be a rat (snitch), even when you kill it, another will take its place. Also the rat is shown in front of the palace of justice, symbolizing the corruption of the system.

Wow a film maker used artistic imagry in a visual medium, let's CGI it out because it's not hyper realistic enough for me.

Meanwhile every act of violence is still as cartoonish as old west hold up arms and spin around

>what does it spoil
yeah exactly

it's stupid, but people pretending it's 'ruining' something brilliant is dumb

if you give me a pack of juul pods i'll replace the rat in the departed with the rat from desperate living

The movie should end in a abrupt cut

I don't remember thinking much of The Departed. I'd seen Infernal Affairs (at least the first, possibly the second) prior in the past.

yeah i know, im joking, i dont want jack nicholson imitating a rat loops while ramones plays. It's a shitty ending lol

(still better than the original)

No I mean the abrupt cut part would be cliched. Seen it in a million movies. Just saw some old Denzel movie where he was a British guy the other day and it ended exactly like that.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve read online all day

the rat is fine its a symbol

yeah it's the "college kid's first movie" cliche, cut to black during a gun fire

Why does this show have so many episodes about The Departed? Is one of the writers obsessed with this movie?

But that's just Boston

Marky Mark conveniently disappears off screen then back on again, a little to late but hey happy ending.

>The last Tarantino movie is about these retards and their crusade to remove the rat from his film

Jack Nicholson carried this film. Only reason it isn't just a flick

The whole pan to the window is just to reveal the rat. Just cutting that part of the movie entirely out makes more sense.

This is an attention stunt. Noone is this autistic.

goddamn this is so retarded. It's a middle level scorcese flick

What's wrong with editing a bad shot out of a film

I referenced The Wall, yes. But the cover of Comfortably Numb is in the movie and it's bad.

yeah thats definitely the point were the movie loses its subtlety, until then its real delicate piece that evades the common tropes of the genre
and i liked it so dont @ me

Why can't people come to terms with the fact that this movie was simply above average crime drama but nothing great? Can I make a kickstarter to force The Departed fans to learn about cinematography and screen writing?

because movies are so bad now something that would have been overlooked if it was made in the 80s is now one of the best movies of the decade
and yeah its that good, name a better recent crime movie

What a strange thing to dedicate your time and energy towards. The government should be allowed to confiscate kickstarter funds and give it to a womens shelter or something if the idea is retarded enough.

None of this makes any sense.

Just rip it and edit out the offending shot, then reupload it to the pirate bay. No investment required of anything but a couple hours of time.

No. Silence was a rehash of an old movie from the 70s with the same title, which itself was an adaptation of an even older book. Same exact problem as The Departed which was a rehash of Infernal Affairs.

What's more absurd is that there are actually people willing to put money towards a Kickstarter of this. It really shows that people will still pay for anything. Some people thought the Kickstarter bubble was going to burst, but nope, still tons of people with tons of money to spare.

The real question is how it is legal to modify someone's film and redistribute it to people. There's no way he paid for the rights to the film so I'd like to know how he's getting away with this because it's becoming pretty high profile news.

The Departed is a silly movie so the rat at the end was perfect for the tone.

I think the intention is to throw subtlety out the window.
Its supposed to have the audience smiling right before the credits hit.

Which Jewish actor are they removing?

>That someone is claiming they need 9 grand for this is the funniest part

I thought that. But then I thought

>I wonder what his ethnicity is

And then I thought

>Hmm, must be a coincidence

According to Li'l King Trashmouth, If you read the Kickstarter, he’s going to buy 50 actual Departed Blu-Rays, make 50 edited copies, replace the originals with his and then send them out. So, basically, they’re gifts.

Furthermore, according to Executor Elassus, this is, in fact, exactly the sort of artistic license that fair-use clauses allow. The claim would be that, by removing the rat, he is both criticizing the original, and doing his own creative work. So long as he doesn’t claim this to be his own original movie, but rather a re-cut with creative editing, and maybe doesn’t sell the discs for (much) above cost, he should be fine. (of course, “legally sound” doesn’t count for much when you’re going up against a major studio and their fancy lawyers). Disclaimer: IANAL, but I work in a creative field where this shit comes up all the time.

>every possible fucking thing that happens is a ploy for some group to gain power over another. it's the only way these people can make sense of the world

Funny, that sounds exactly like /pol/ to me.

I can't even tell if you're being serious or not.

Having lived in Boston, I find the lack os rats crawling across apartments to be utterly unrealistic. Marty was right to include it. Taking it out is retahhhded.

sneed

>smug bluecheckmark complains about one ingroups vitrue signalling while virtue signaling to his own ingroup
The irony.

He said nothing to indicate what group he is a part of and yet you presumed to put him in one group just because you don't like what he's saying. You're worse than him.

Based on his responses it's unfortunately very likely that he is completely serious. These people have absolutely no self-awareness.

>ingroup one
Group that feels superiority for liking the departed
>ingroup two
Group that feels superiority to, in their view, the pretentious ingroup that feels superiority for liking the departed

None of this is assumed. It's implicit.

who gives a shit LOL

>remove something that Scorsese deliberately put in the movie
>we want to put it onto 35mm film as to not disrespect scorsese's legacy
do people not have brains?

The person making the Kickstarter clearly has a brain as he just made $4000 for next to no work.

Are only subtle symbols allowed in movies anymore?

Are there even any subtle symbols in movies to begin with? I can't think of any.

Those scrumptious titties...

He sounds like an annoying cunt. The comment about being smarter than their girlfriends makes me think he's some hardcore SJW and a professional online petitioner.

which film do you think it is a rehash of

Are you retarded? Read the post again.

the Departed is a damn good movie but it's about as subtle as a brick to the face, the rat doesn't ruin anything

lovely gunshot sound effect in this one

The amount of autism that goes into re-editing the original star wars movies and polishing them is unparalleled. If these guys focused this effort on something profitable or beneficial to the world, they'd knock it out of the park. Instead, they argue with each other over artifacts and lines on a low-budget sci-fi film made almost half a century ago

Even knowing to look for the rat I hardly even noticed it.

or you could just cut to the credits right after Markey Mark did his thing

so this is the power of autism

One of my friends watched this movie every single day when we did some out of town work in michigan and I watched it a bit every other day and I have never seen the ending of the movie.

I didn't even know there was a rat or anything, my last memory of the movie is marky mark in the scrubs in the apartment.

All rats in the movie died. Only the real survived. As it should be.

Well now I feel like a pleb for enjoying that ending...

You shouldn't.

That's pretty a pretty good joke. You write your material down?

lol you probably shitpost on Yea Forums all day doing little else, what money or liberty do you even have to lose?
nothing more ironic than a Yea Forums poster being any sort of libertarian.

That image seems pretty clearly intended to mock libertarians.
