what can I say?

After watching this American version of "Infernal Affairs", I am reminded of infinite nostalgia for "Infernal Affairs". I have read all the "Infernal Affairs" trilogy, I feel that the classics are not there, but they are good-looking. But this Hollywood film "The Departed" is clearly artificial. I saw that the director was trying his best to interpret the essence of the original version, but it was obviously so pale. Not to mention the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, we have all watched Hollywood movies for many years, and they can all be described as immersed in our ears and deeply rooted in our hearts. Hollywood screenwriters still have the skill to fry old rice, but it's not always delicious, this one is more unpalatable.
