Did you catch this in The Departed? Martin Scorses is a brilliant filmmaker, and in the 2006 blockbuster - The Departed, he incorporated a few hints of premonition. The letter "X" makes an appearance somewhere on the screen before every single death in the movie, though they aren't always obvious. Every X, from the X-shaped pattern on the carpet to the X-crossing beams, denotes impending doom. Sgt. Dignam, played by Mark Wahlberg, is the only central character to never share the screen with an X, and as a result, he is the only one to survive. This serves to emphasize the point.
