Everyone is familiar with the Infernal Affairs series. Even if you haven't seen the entire series, you must have heard of it. The episodes are also widely sung. This is the charm of a successful movie.
The plot is not too complicated. Both the police and the gang have sent undercover agents to infiltrate each other's organizations. After a drug deal that didn't benefit either side, both sides desperately tried to find out who was undercover in the organization. First, the superintendent was killed by the gangster, and then the two undercover agents cooperated to kill the gangster eldest brother. In the end, it was the undercover gangster who had the last laugh. Typical villain wins movie.
Andy Lau played Liu Jianming. Because he had no choice, he became a policeman as an undercover agent and performed well, but he was not willing to be coerced, and he also wanted to be a good person. After struggling, he finally got what he wanted. Tony Leung played the role of Chen Yongren, but he left the police force because of his excellent performance and joined the gang. Although information was reported from time to time, he was unable to resist mental exhaustion and depression. Huang Qiusheng's superintendent is a good policeman, but he always feels a little inauthentic, and makes people go undercover for ten years. Zeng Zhiwei's gangster brother is definitely not domineering enough, but he is sinister and ruthless, not kind. Zheng Xiuwen, Chen Huilin, Elva Hsiao, Edison Chen, Shawn Yue, Lin Jiadong, Du Wenze, Lin Dian... The appearance of all the big stars is really star-studded.
I don't know much about the endless hell of Buddhism, and I don't have the depressed mental state and painful heart of the plot characters. But I know that life itself is a struggle.
