Undeniably, in the Hong Kong version of Infernal Affairs, Liu Weiqiang and others exhausted their efforts and, with the support of an ultra-luxury cast team, finally created an epic and romantic movie. The Hong Kong version of Infernal Affairs is fascinating. In addition to the continuation of the glorious tradition of Hong Kong gangster films, the director has created a noble and elegant temperament, which is unmatched by others. Whether it is the police or the gang, they all give people a kind of artistic processing towards two extremes. On the other hand, in the US version of Infernal Affairs, there are run-down Boston slums everywhere, the gangsters are as barbarous and violent as textbooks, and the police have never seen any "tall images". Everything is the typical style of old Martin. Only beauty will never belong to him. Reality and realism are him. How can the title of film sociologist be so vain?
Therefore, this has set the tone of the Infinite Walker. Just like old Martin's violent show, as always, the sharp knife cuts the mess, without any artistic rendering, and some are the sharp heads of the moment. There is also the gang leader played by Jack Nicholson, full of swear words and signature funny laugh, which fully demonstrates the vulgar, vulgar, grassroots gang philosophy in the old Martin movies. No matter how big or small, the gang leader in the old Martin lens can never change the original nature of street gangsters. Poetic and aristocratic will never be possible. Martin Scorsese could not become David Coppola, or even Liu Weiqiang. But it is this Martin that makes people who like him obsessed. Old Martin never existed to please anyone.
"It's nothing great for a person to be angry for more than ten years. It is rare to be angry for a lifetime." I like this sentence of "Watching Movie" magazine evaluating old Martin.
