Arrange the plot from a layout point of view.
Before the start of the film, the police obtained information and evidence from the male protagonist and wanted to sue the president. Unexpectedly, because the police prosecutors took bribes, the chairman was finally acquitted. Then the president was bumped, and the movie started. This accident was probably also the work of Section Chief Jiang, so that he could interfere in the candidate election later. The plan at the beginning was to let the second child be the president to have better control, so he provoked the third and fourth to fight each other. When the airport intercepted Ding Qing, the evidence was actually enough, just to be photographed so that others thought it was Ding Qing who reported Zhong Jiu. Then the police went to arrest Zhong Jiu as planned, and then showed Zhong Jiu a photo to provoke him. At this time, Zhongjiu had already guessed that the police had arranged to use a knife to kill people, but he had no choice. This was a conspiracy. It was better to die together than to die by himself. When Section Chief Jiang persuaded Zhong Jiu, Ding Qing rebelled against the army and sent hackers to steal information to dig out all the informants, including the male lead. This was beyond the expectations of Section Chief Jiang. If Ding Qing killed the male protagonist, the plan would fail, because there was no bargaining chip behind to cooperate with the second child. Ding Qingnian was in love with the male protagonist, but he was beaten to death by Zhong Jiu's arrangement. One detail is that Section Chief Jiang called out the male protagonist when the operation was going on. It should be that one was afraid of accidental injury, and the other was that the male protagonist would be emotional. The operation is over, the overall situation has been decided, Ding Qing is half dead, Zhong Jiu's forces have cooled down, and it fits the plan perfectly.
After that, the male protagonist bids farewell to Ding Qing before he dies, and then finds what Ding Qing left behind. At this time, the male protagonist was completely disappointed with the police because of the untrustworthy words of Section Chief Jiang, and also realized that he had nowhere to go. Those in the know are in power. Many people think this is a reversal, but the male protagonist himself has worked hard from the bottom, his ability is not bad, he has the most complete information, and Ding Qing's people have no other way to go. strangeness. But there are actually some unreasonable things in the plot here. Section Chief Jiang has always distrusted the male protagonist. He planned not to tell him, and arranged for someone to watch him, but later he personally told the male protagonist that the information had been deleted, and there were only two people. Knowing the identity of the male protagonist is equivalent to telling the male protagonist that you will be free as long as you kill the two of us, which is equivalent to having no countermeasures. The second child is also similar. This person is obviously a straw bag, and he dares to betray him without first arresting him. This is really not in line with the character design of Section Chief Jiang, who has no last resort.
Of course, the flaws do not hide the flaws. The film's portrayal of human nature and the grasp of the plot are all very good. Infernal Affairs is about being in the dark and turning to the light. What I'm talking about here is that since it is already deep in the dark quagmire, it is better to be dark to the end, which is equally exciting.
