Who is not departed?

Martin is old, although he is still a philosopher. I prefer him when he was young. He is flamboyant, calm and intellectual. Now, although he has not changed his thinking about society at all, he is old after all, and he likes working in the forest more. Walking on the boulevard, like rowing a boat leisurely on the calm lake, like to wander slowly in his own philosophy, and this is somewhat dull for a police and gangster film.
However, maybe this is the style of old Martin. , Although it is slow, but he shows a unique style, this style can not be imitated by anyone, and it will not leave the mark of Hong Kong Infernal Affairs because of the script,It made me forget for more time that this is the so-called American version of Infernal Affairs, it is more like Martin proclaiming his own philosophy, this is Martin, a socialist, even in his later years he maintained a keen sense of this society In my opinion, the two people created by Martin are actually two sides of a person's character.
Repeated montages, repeated comparisons, and even repeatedly fell in love with the same woman, two Characters with diametrically opposite status have the same psychological problems and confusion in their hearts. They also have the same splits. I don't know if Martin has ever had such an inner experience. Many times people have to face the moment of feeling split. .It is the expression of this split that made me see the Martin of the past, the Martin who walked out of the fog of the taxi driver, the Martin who thought calmly to the good fellow.
Although there was only such a little calm thinking, However, it is enough, and basically nothing else, the performance of any actor in this film is almost negligible compared to the performance of these actors.

    Lao Ma very accurately changed all the sentiments of the original version, but from another aspect, the Yankee may like this kind of mouthful running F. Everyone runs around with a twisted expression like a chicken blood. Go, headshot in front of the audience, and by the way let the two protagonists engage in the same "sentiment" of the same woman, there is no way. It is not the story that is unacceptable, but the understanding of the story.

    It feels a lot different from the Hong Kong version, but I still like why the score is so low = = But the bridge section of the elevator and the 5-10 minutes at the end are really good. . Makes me want to deduct points

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?
