Infernal Affairs

A classic of undercover films. Looking back more than ten years ago, it is shocking again. The acting, the music, and the plot are all excellent. Especially Tony Leung's eyes, genius. The name also plays an extreme: Infernal Affairs, the Avici Hell of Buddhism, the bottom of the eighteen hells, and longevity is the greatest suffering of the Infernal Hell. "I want to be a good person" "I am a policeman", helpless? Is it concentrated? One wrong step, one wrong step. "Why do you undercover agents choose to meet on the rooftop?" "Because we are upright", are you satisfied? The heart is selfless and wide.
It's also my favorite police and gangster movie. It sums up the plot in four words: who is the undercover. Andy Lau, Tony Leung, and Shawn Yue are all my favorite handsome guys, but don't get me wrong, the plot of this film is more slick and fascinating than looking at the face. And no matter whether the police or the gangsters, there is a kind of feeling that makes you love, hate and feel distressed. Love them because they have their own difficulties. Hate them sometimes because they are too cruel and sometimes because they are too kind. As for the heartache, It's when they face the pity of their loved ones who can't confess their identities and can't stay by their side, and they have to bear it silently alone, which is heart-wrenching.
