People are really not born equal, but people will strive for it, and that is the most important thing.

Is putting the cart before the horse a bad thing? I haven't watched the Hong Kong version of Infernal Affairs, but I watched the American version of Infernal Affairs first, and it feels pretty good.

Xiao Lizi is very suitable for those who are entangled in their hearts, and the painful expression can really make those who watch him feel his pain.

It's really not a good job to be an undercover agent, and wherever you go, you will see the life of the King of Hell.

Deceiving others may not always be the best policy, but if you cheat too many times, you will continue subconsciously!

Can't say it's my favorite style, but the plot is tight, the pace is good, it's not tiring or boring, and it goes well with afternoon coffee.

People are really not born equal, but people will strive for it, and that is the most important thing.

    In fact, the process is quite exciting, but it is always short of manpower. I don’t know how old Martin felt when he didn’t get the Oscar's approval for "Taxi Driver" and "Good Guy", but won the Oscar with such a commercial remake?

    (8.5/10) The story frame belongs to "Infernal Affairs", but other than that, it belongs to Martin Scorsese. There is no torn and dazed identity of the Hong Kong version. Here is more of "cat and mouse". "Game"-like police and robber struggle. At first, the two character clues were almost parallel and radial. At first, I thought of Quentin's style. Talking about tuberculosis, violence, and narration, F**k was flying all over the sky, and several scenes were just hilarious and very fun. The editing and soundtrack are very good. Matt Damon is slightly inferior to Xiao Li, with multiple reversals at the end, returning to the basic beliefs of bandit movies. (I like this "serious play" tone. For Scorsese, Oscar is just a late greeting.)

The Departed quotes

  • Colin Sullivan: I can get the rat. You just gotta let me do it my way, Frank.

    Frank Costello: Okay.

    [hands Sullivan "Citizens Trust" envelope]

    Frank Costello: But Colin - I hope I don't have to remind you that if you don't find that cheese-eating rat bastard in your department, most likely it won't be me who suffers for it.

    Colin Sullivan: Now why would you have to remind me of that? Would I be any good at what I do if I didn't fucking already know that? Frank, you gotta trust me. Alright, just trust me Frank. Hey, it fucking involves lying and I'm pretty fucking good at that. Right?

    Frank Costello: Maybe because it's always been so easy for me to get cunt, that I never understood jacking off in a theater.

  • Madolyn: [to Colin] And I thought that I was the liar!
