The main structure of the two films is the same, and the plot changes are not big, but the editing narrative of the American version is better, especially the two male protagonists' growth process and different attitudes towards interests are clearly explained. , Infernal Affairs is a parallel narrative, and the introduction to Andy Lau at the beginning of Infernal Affairs is not very clear, which can only be described in the second and third parts. So Infernal Affairs can get the best picture, it is estimated that the narrative is much better.
Excellent Chinese and Hong Kong movies are always romantic, and the rivers and lakes and the love between them are a good embodiment, while American gangster movies are dominated by violent aesthetics and extremely filthy and simple foul language. Comparing the scene of meeting on the rooftop at the end of the film, Infernal Affairs is easy and freehand, with smooth running, no extra physical conflict, and it is not so realistic. The lines of the two actors on the undercover identity are really classic, "I want to be a good person", "Talk to the judge. "It also seems decent on both sides, while Infernal Affairs is a standard handcuff, with a lot of realistic additional actions, Matt Damon is not so decent, pleading, has a strong desire to survive, and the characters are not "elegant".
Chinese movie fans seem to value the system of rivers and lakes more, and the United States does not seem to focus on the description. This may also be the reason why "Once Upon a Time in America" translated as Yi Bo Yuntian was not popular in the United States in the early stage.
