feel most deeply is that there is no deep Hong Kong version, no melancholy eyes of Tony Leung Chaowei, no Andy Lau's sometimes cool and full of self-confidence, replaced by the compact and real American version, DiCapri Ao's superb acting, and Matt's are completely overshadowed. .
Speaking of depth, the Hong Kong version can be said to have set a great example. At the psychiatrist, Tony Leung escaped in the dark, but had to face the helplessness. The director of the Hong Kong version expressed it with the movement of lights and cameras (how to do it in detail). I forgot about it, I remember it roughly.), reminded me of that scene, and I thought of Tony Leung's empty eyes, perfect appearance, he is indeed a prince of melancholy, and he is really handsome, this is known to everyone on earth. Huang Qiusen's death really touched us. He experienced a sudden incident in a helpless situation. He tried to calm down, but he couldn't stop something from happening. When he fell, it was accompanied by music and slow motion. , I can't calm down. And in the last scene of "I'm sorry, I'm a policeman", the classic top floor, the classic gun-raising, the classic two-person confrontation, and because of its shocking beauty, it was frequently rejected by the later feature films, short films, experimental films, good films, bad films, and love. The film gay films are competing to imitate. The Hong Kong version of the film is sensational, and it was intended to be thought-provoking and imprinted in my heart from the very beginning. These were all successful.
And the ending, the memorable arrangement, highlights an inexhaustible theme, that ending was the most satisfying ending I've ever seen, even though it wasn't complete.
What is the US version like? Films with thick eyebrows (please forgive me for always calling him like this, haha) will never disappoint me. Seeing his thick eyebrows, I have admired him without watching the film. This is the weakness of women. Before watching "The Departed", I still played the snare drum a few times, with the same script and completely different personality actors, even with the power of Grandpa Martin, what would it be like? As soon as I started watching it, I saw cultural and aesthetic surprises. There were no specially arranged scenes with prominent themes. Some were just a man’s bar, a man’s street, a man’s police station, and a woman’s psychological counseling room. Everything is reality, everything Neither is over-rendered. The first few dialogues have set the tone, and this is a true and tight film with a little dark. At the psychiatrist, some are just ordinary desks, DiCaprio is just like a child asking for help, sitting at the desk, venting, struggling, he is strong, but fragile, he His eyes were red and his muscles were tense. In this environment, he couldn't stop the fear, he couldn't get rid of the fear, and he had a sense of responsibility that couldn't be discarded. The light is very bright and there are no dark corners, but his eyes are full of darkness. And Kunnan's death was handled very carefully in the US version. He didn't understand the situation until the end, but the reality is like this, there is no chance to breathe, only to deal with, he fell, also in slow motion, blood splattered in In DiCaprio's hands, this place has the acting skills I admire the most. DiCaprio's eyes instantly turned red, tears were rolling, and he kept scolding: fu*k... I seem to be able to enter his heart , he found the broken string, and after his companion came out, he regained his composure in less than a second, with a blank expression on his face, he followed his companion into the car. From here, I think of countless places in front of me, DiCaprio's performance makes me full of praise, the wandering eyes, the frowning brows in the market, don't all show his inner struggle, he is under a lot of pressure, who can understand , This is something that Matt Andy Lau's inner ghost in the police station can't understand, because a little mistake, a different head, maybe a little doubt, will save his life. I've never been a fan of DiCaprio, but I'm starting to appreciate him now.
In the final scene, there is still no deep, only nervous, really nervous, I don't dare to watch it because I know the result, I don't want to see him die, but he still died, very fast, one shot deadly, the fall is very simple, no Close-up, no sensationalism, but my heart was suddenly empty. Just like at the end Matt shot his fellow insider, the lightning flashed, blood spurted out, and just like that, fell down, no close-up, no emphasis. This is Martin. . . .
There's a Hollywood ending at the end, where the bad guys always get punished, Matt goes down, and with the camera zooming in, I'm sure, I don't have feelings for this Matt and I don't care about him. Maybe because of the character, maybe because of the acting, I just ignored him like that.
But I prefer the ending of the Hong Kong version, and other than that, I like the American version.
Although there is no deep, although there is no impressive lines, although there is no special rendering, but it makes me more worried, this is the charm of the American version to me. At least when Tony Leung died, I didn't have the feeling that my heart was suddenly empty, indicating that he was not flesh and blood enough in my heart, and DiCaprio, in these short dozens of minutes, I have already regarded him as a man. friends. This is the American version of Infernal Affairs that I couldn't come back to for a long time after reading it.
Thick eyebrows ------ Come on (purely personal preference to the director, hee hee)
