A sense of subtle differences lingers

Hollywood bought the copyright of Infernal Affairs in Hong Kong, took the book to make a movie, and then got the Oscar. I don't quite understand. But The Departed and The Departed are different styles of the same story.
Hong Kong is more refined and sensational, and every line is carefully crafted, a little bit of a petty bourgeois feeling of moaning ~ but the American version of The Departed is more real, life, and more hysterical. The screen is full of swearing words... I think this film must have been restricted when it was released ==|| It's hard for me to judge which is better or worse, and the Infernal Affairs left a deep impression on me back then. But I didn't watch it a second time. In the same way, the 2-hour Infernal Affairs feels very long and a little procrastinated (actually, it is very helpless, the reason why I feel procrastination is because we have seen the original version and know which are the climax and which are the foreshadowing... sigh~ If you have never watched Infinity Dao should be able to hold back and not complain ==). But for two actors I like very much, Leonardo and Matt Damon, this one is finally over. If you vote, go to The Departed. At least I liked how it ended. It's not like Infernal Affairs, which has to drag out three swindles for money, and then finish it off...

    Well, I didn't expect that the remake won the best director and film, and there will be any film nominations in 2006. It's pretty good, but I still think "Infernal Affairs" is better than that. I remember that this year Xiao Lizi was nominated for the male lead of two works and this was one of them. When Jack Nicholson came out, I thought about it for a long time. After reading it, I remembered who it was. .

    Dan Lin who I first heard from Ting at Today's Lunch. Dan Lin is the Senior Vice President of Production at Warner Bros. Time to give a shout.

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!
