I know but i have a lot of asian friends since I live in San Francisco. hence my hatred of The Departed which while I feel is great movie but aside from chanignt the setting from Hong Kong to Boston was essentially taken shot for shot from Infernal Affairs with no credit given to the original with Scorsese going so far to call it experimental film making. If he would of credited the original film I would have respected his film. THis makes me fear teh remake for The Host. |
Actually, I thought the Departed was significantly better than Infernal Affairs (I saw Infernal Affairs before Departed existed). The love story in IA was... bizarre, to say the least. Felt completely artificial and unnecessary. Also very sudden. The whole movie ended rather akwardly.
The alterations made to that love story were dramatic and entirely succesful, in my opinion.
