Last night I watched the Departed (again) I really like that movie.
But per some of our earlier convos and hong kong.. did you know it's a re-make of a (legendary at its time) hong kong movie Infernal Affairs?
I personally prefer the departed over infernal affairs, I think culturally its more relevant to me, and it's also an extremely polished movie. Like, I reckon that Infernal Affairs had to "invent" this story.
But the departed got to take all that work and "perfect" it.. which IMO they did. But.. both are excellent, and I recommend both bigly.
I think the funniest thing is how Matt Daymon and Leo goes through a particularly "Chinese" style education system... that doesn't look anything like ours, but looks very much like their culture lol.
No way our police officers are that disciplined during training. No way. No shot.
