I didn't like the Departed's sharing a love interest story line. That looked more like an easy coincidence than a fated path. The Infernal affair's heroin characters and story lines could've been better too. But overall I find The Infernal Affairs to be a much better movie.
there is nothing to do with identity.why always think everything is about politic?this movie is talking about how liu jianming pushed himself into the infernal hell by his own mistake.he was already in hell when he killed chen in that elevator.thats why the opening of infernal affairs3 has a shot of an elevator sinking into the darkness.people's conscience made thier own hell.he will be punished forever even after his death while chen already reliefed and moved on. hongkong movie declined for they lost the taiwan/soutgeast asian market,and the mainland market hasn't took off yet.now the director makes his film in mainland also.
A great review with information and plot points! Love how informed you two are at the movies you watch
Thanks so much!
Excited to check out this new series. Back in the day I always looked forward to "marshy's favorite asian movies of the year" on twitchfilm.
(James here) Oh wow, thanks a lot! Yeah, haven't done one of those in years. Maybe Steve and I could do something similar here.
Infernal Affairs is my most favourite movie of all time.
Thanks for commenting
Ty! Well done

(Steve here) Yes Infernal Affairs is the better film in my opinion.

Once Upon a Time in China
The film is BETTER than The Departed.
Agreed!
