Compared with the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", Martin Scorsese's "Infernal Affairs" has a more compact plot design, a simpler and brighter narrative rhythm, and more conflicts between police and gangsters, undercover and anti-undercover Fierce and ups and downs, the characters created by Jack Nicholson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Dimon are also more distinctive and vivid. It should be said that this is a typical American movie. , Several weeks of box office champions and Oscars for best picture and best director honours proved its success in Hollywood.
However, compared with the Hong Kong version of Infernal Affairs, Martin Scorsese's Infernal Affairs lacks poetic qualities. The changing times of the times, the gloomy atmosphere of the city, the fatalistic character and the lost identity, these make the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" escape the characteristics of ordinary police movies, but it was ruthlessly abandoned in the US version of "Infernal Affairs", perhaps Martin Scorsese had already thought that he couldn't make another "Godfather". Therefore, Martin Scorsese's "Infernal Affairs" looks more like a translation of a stunned, lingering "Long Song Xing" into a vernacular popular story, and the crude urban background of Boston makes this even more important.

It is really not easy to remake a movie. Martin Scorsese did it. He used his own color to retell the story more excitingly and more suitable for the taste of the market.

Although the film studio has hoped to revise the dialogue or cut these branches that have no effect on the entire storyline, director Martin Scorsese is stubborn and unwilling to revise his film. Therefore, Media Asia, which has obtained the Asian copyright of the film, hopes that this film can generate a good income in the Mainland, but has failed.
The biggest crime committed by crime chief Frank Costello turned out to be selling stolen high-end microprocessors to the Chinese government so that the missile can be accurate to smash a certain ass thousands of kilometers away. In the scene of delivery in the warehouse, the Chinese gangster holding machine guns, the cliche Cantonese, and the image of a fat and fat Chinese official shivering under the suit and leather shoes. None of the design is not objectionable, and there is no detail. Does not show signs of deliberate actions.

Is this what Martin Scorsese expressed to the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs" and to China?
