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...
