...with any gnarly crime plot, this one dares to strain credulity. Once or twice, a skeptical viewer may ask, What are the odds? The odds that Billy would commit all manner of crimes, to prove his underworld bona fides, and never get so much as an interested glance, let alone a collar, from the cops who don't know he's one of them. The odds that Colin would rise so quickly in the force, and be deemed so trustworthy that he'd be assigned to sleuth out the rat on the team - himself. The Departed adds one coincidence even...
...difficult not to be captivated by these otherwise ordinary actions.Counteracting the urge to focus on one detail—for example, a boy’s foot in “Sleeper”—the unpredictability and beauty of these minute human elements force the viewer to be constantly aware of the entire subject and compositional framework. Much as the stillness of the frame enhances the subtle motions of the subjects, the overall quietness of the films draws the ambient sound into the foreground.

...those technologies allow the producers to add levels of detail.

"Many of us are realizing, the military, that fight wasn?t our fight," one vet says. "This is our fight...
...programming dominated the ninth area, which controls absorption. Indeed, viewers were so absorbed by the programs that the other areas were nearly dormant. More predictably, the study also found that ads work best when their content is in harmony with the programs they interrupt. An ad for the alcopop WKD, for instance, registered more viewer interest than a Red Cross appeal when both appeared during a South Park clip. Another Neurosense study, for PHD Media, a media-buying agency, looked at which areas of the brain are most receptive to different media--TV, print and radio. PHD used the results...
