Undercover, in the Infernal Affairs, ghosts on both sides. It's actually not that hard to be a badass. In the case of black and black, the undercover can fight with all his life. First, to eliminate harm for the people, no matter who he is, the more he dies, the better; second, he can gain the trust of his brothers. Therefore, although the danger is there, the purpose is simple and the mind is at ease. But if you want to be a fake villain, you will face the choice of life and death at any time. For example, the antagonistic relationship between "killing innocents" and "exposing one's identity" has always been the biggest weakness that undercover agents often face and cannot avoid. At this point, Joe pretended to be innocent and timid, and finally didn't shoot to kill. At a time when the interests of the police and the gang are in conflict, Joe is fortunately able to use his high IQ to counteract the danger brought by the greedy demands of his boss. But in the case of the intensification of the contradiction between brotherhood and the enemy's position, Joe fell into the most terrible confusion and suffocation.
Lefty is Joe's boss, with a rather unreasonable style, especially like Joe's boss. But he and Joe are in fact a life-and-death brotherhood. In Lefty in the hospital, when a gangster man sheds helpless tears in front of another gangster man, they are like a father-son relationship again. Because of Lefty, who has been in a state of misery all his life, he poured his hope, hard work and whole-hearted trust into this young man. Although Lefty's language is vulgar, it is often taught and exhorted. He still patted Joe on the back, admonishing his brother as Joe stepped on his shoulder and walked up to him. Joe is also lost because of him, should he give up Lao Zuo's life and return to his normal world, or will he be desperate to save him? Joe hoped for a solution to both, but this time he failed.
When a person plays a completely different role for a long time, he becomes that role. i'm not becoming like them. I am them. At this time, who is the real me - seems to be the most important issue, but it doesn't seem to matter. Isn't life just living? Is there a certain standard for what life should be like? When you do something for what you thought was most important at the time, can you say it was a bad decision afterwards? Even if Joe chose to betray the police and become the big brother of the underworld, we can't blame him. Because we shouldn't have sent him into that world.
Changes in people are related to all aspects. Consequences cannot simply be imposed on one's right and wrong. It is a wrong decision to let a person who values love and righteousness go undercover.
Back to the technical aspects, this movie is nothing more than a double reed play by Al Pacino and Johnny Depp. The collision between the two generations of master-level handsome boys, the old and the middle, makes the fans quite enjoyable. Al Pacino combines the contrasting words of vulgarity and warmth and cuteness into the image of Lefty. His long, swearing conversations with Joe are real, funny, and show Al Pacino's self-deceitful pride. Of course, the most important thing to mention must be the part where Lefty said goodbye to his girlfriend and left home. He left all the valuable things to his beloved, and then carefully opened the drawer so that she could find out earlier, and then To die calmly and without resentment.
In order to figure out this role, Johnny Depp communicated with the prototype and listened to his recordings repeatedly until the prototype felt that it looked alike except for the appearance. With this attitude, Johnny aptly interprets this tormented character. One moment is a shrewd operator, another moment is a forbearing younger brother, and another moment is a grumpy, love-hate husband. What I like the most is the panic and fear that Joe shows from time to time when dealing with his gangster brothers, because he is not going to play a fearless hero, but a person who dances on the edge of a knife and has a lot of worries in his heart. people.
This is one of the best movies Johnny Depp has done, and the quality of the movie is also one of the best.
