THE DEPARTED...
i've spent today watching this show and not reading my cvs notes... i'm supposed to study embrology but heck... it's soooo good till i can't resist the tempation... and no regrets... it's the BEST.. yeah D BEST in terms of BEST movie on undercover police...
basically it's about cramming the whole wu jian dao "infernal affairs"無間道 1,2,3 into a single 2 and a half hour show... it's so copy cat but somehow i love watching these kinda undercover trying to be somebody else, influencing and playing mind games and see who cracks first... story line is EXACTLY the same man... i wonder how lame can the directors be... EXACTLY the same... the scene where leonardo di caprio was shot in the lift on the way down was like exactly how tony leung got shot too... and how his boss got thrown down from the building and killed was exactly how inspector wong died in infernal affairs..
both shows also boast a star studded cast with infernal affairs led by andy lau, tony leung, lai meng, wong chau sang, edison chen and shawn yue.. that goes as well for 'the departed' with stars like matt damon, leonardo di caprio, jack nicholson, mark wahlberg, martin sheen(from the west wing) and alec baldwin...
i love infernal affairs.. all 3 of them... becuase it's real cool.. triad members wearing shades and shooting policemen... and of course it's tony leung and andy lau man!!! super star!!!=P
it was all a repeat of infernal affairs but this time with hollywood actors.. but it was great cuz leonardo's acting was 1st class... seriously... in fact i think his expression was far better than tony leung's in infernal affairs 3... in fact this show was exactly the same but without infernal affairs 2... cuz i think they didn't have the time to remake all 1,2,3 and left out part 2.. but they managed to do a pretty good job though the story line is the same...
but what i'm impressed is that this show was actually based on true stories of undercover police officers who dwell deep into the hong kong triad back before 1997... they have to lie in order to survive... tortured to prevent the truth from leaking... and when even get the stares of own fellow policemen who cast the shadow of doubt even after the case has been resolved...
sometimes they lie till the don't know who they really are... finally matt damon (who played the role of andy lau) tries to eliminate all jack nicholson's (who played the role of eric tsang) spies in the police force only to be killed later in the end by mark wahlberg (who played the role of sam cheng)... he tries to take out all spies because all he wants to be is to be with his doctor girlfriend and to be a good guy... “我要做好人”-劉健明... and of course, he killed his very own boss, jack nicholson just like how andy lau shot eric tsang... i'm actually a big fan of infernal affairs and when i got to know hollywood's reenactment of this trilogy, i was thrilled.. but the only draw back was of course by comparing both the chinese version and the english one... but of course, we have to take into account that infernal affairs was a trilogy... the departed is just a single shooting...
and it's like a one for one substitute for acting... even dad could predict what happens next... even when matt damon face to face with jack nicholson in the crossfire of policemen, how jack nicolson found out that matt damon betrayed him (by calling his handphone) was just the same like how eric tsang called for andy lau when he was cornered...
but as i said, it's real good acting.. both matt and leonardo really did a good job... but what makes me love watching this show is that how much a person is willing to lose to go so far into what they are doing... lying to oneself at one instant and seeing a psychiatrist later to pour out his pent up feelings not knowing that the psychiatrist is actually his rival's girlfriend... ahahha... so farny lar... somehow both matt and leonardo didn't meet till the rooftop incident.. and the face off with a handgun at matt damon's head is just the same like in infernal affairs..
last but not least, for those who love infernal affairs, i suggest to give the departed a shot... try not to compare that much and let the movie take u for a ride... i of course talk too much cuz was soooooo eager to comment everytime when i see a similarity between both the chinese and english version so i already started evaluating right from the start... i guess that took pretty much of the fun away...
oh and yes... finally... as for fans of jay chou (like me), don't forget to catch his 'curse of the golden flower' coming out on 21st dec before christmas!!! oh boy! i love christmas and of course an avid fan of jay chou!!! so pls pls pls don't forget to watch ok????? you will love it!!! i promise you!!! =) ehehehhee...=)
he's so cool isn't he... you've got to agree with me...=)
