Over a hundred people were involved in the production of this film. The entire cast and crew are not given equal credit in most films. The majority of the camera crew and other production workers are not given as much credit for their work as the actors and director/producers, even though they play a huge role in the development and production of the movie. The making of a huge blockbuster like ‘The Departed’ involves the use of an immense crew. There is a large-scale division of labor as there…

age? There’s an ever-increasing gap between the age of the actors/actresses that play teenage roles in television and it’s actually a problem we need to address. A big topic in today’s world is how teenagers view themselves, their bodies, and how television sets these unrealistic notions about what a fourteen year old may look like.
