The Departed

Based on the script of the HK movie (Infernal affair), the presentation is well tranlated into Hollywood screen: fame director, big stars, US culture...

Some characters have been modified like the background of Leonardo is well prepared for the job, the CP also acted as a media to deal with the 2 double-faced people. The flow never been bored as it is arranged in a quick pace which HK dealed it in 3 episodes. The joke of writing wrongly on the envelop also being adopted which was interesting to see too. The Chinese gansters (or gov agent) was a bit disappointed in speaking cantonese other than PTH. Well, maybe it is a respect to the origin of the script...

The screen is full of colour for sure, gun shot, foul languages which the HK dealed it to make it in Class 2 other than class 3 (restricted over 18).

The dilemma between good or bad (when both met on the roof and Leo caught Mat as hostess which the polce didn't know what to do) was still there. A tragedy of living in a double world. The chinese name presented a better culture I would think...

A good script for sure is ready for any kind of format and presentation. Remains as a classic...
