Re: question abt regarding departed movie....

I think the film LITERALLY shows why that was done or why this person knows something. I'm going to try my fucking best to not sound like an asshole and shit on your goals to knowledge. But... When you watch these films. In what country do you watch them, are they dubbed and/or subtitled, and how strong is your grasp of the English language?

Subtly isn't Scorsese's strongest suit.

It's all clear if you watch Infernal Affairs.

Spoiler:
Not really, but that's a much better movie.

At the very least, it's shorter and less profane.

Re: question abt regarding departed movie....

I remember that theory. It does seem to hold water and is far more interesting than the mystery of the tacked-on ending.

Wow. That actually makes sense. Uhhhhh... Has anyone asked Scorsese or Damon about it?

Damn.

I never picked up on the subtle moments (the real estate agent, the dinner with Madeline) but I always theorized that his impotence was a sign that he was actually deep in the closet and that it fit in with the theme of the movie. Now after seeing those subtle moments it makes a whole lot more sense.

People have given you a valid answer. I just think you're having difficulty understanding it because of the obvious language barrier.

The reason you're not getting relevant answers to your questions is because what you're asking is very obviously shown to you in the film.

Costello gets killed BECAUSE he's an FBI informant.

Dignam knows Sullivan is the rat because Costigan gave Madeline the evidence to give to Dignam.

Because none of us speak your language. The best we can do is tell you that DiCaprio gave Farmiga the evidence that Damon was a mole and Farmiga passed the evidence to Whalberg. Whalberg then killed Damon.

I dunno, seems like a stretch. The first time I saw the movie, I thought the real estate agent was hitting on Sullivan. After a couple viewings, my guess is the real estate agent is implying that a state police detective doesn't have the money to pay the monthly rent / mortgage. It's about classism, not sexuality. The rest of the "hints" are simply about the impotency issue. That's how I've always taken all of that.

No, that's not why. I'll give your grammar issues a pass because it's evident English isn't your first language. Your rudeness however, is where this lack of respect comes from.
