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. .

The Departed quotes

  • Billy Costigan: [to Frank Costello in Frank's bar] You accuse me once, I put up with it. You accuse me twice... I quit. You pressure me to fear for my life and I will put a fucking bullet in your head as if you were anybody else. Okay?

    [Frank drops something. He reaches under the table and pulls up a gun. He looks at it as if he's never seen it before and then points it at Billy]

    Frank Costello: You got something you wanna... ask me?

  • Colin Sullivan: [to Barrigan] You got a nice suit at home or do you like coming to work everyday dressed like you're goin' to invade Poland?
