The Buddha said: Those who are boundless in the body will never die, and longevity is a great kalpa in the boundless hell.

To be honest, it took me a long time to start watching this movie, and it's really regrettable that I found these delays after watching it. Before watching the movie, the impression of "Infernal Affairs" only stayed on a rooftop screen. Tony Leung pointed at Andy Lau, and Andy Lau said: Give me a chance, I also want to be a good person. That's right, this is the most classic scene in the movie. In the past, I just regarded it as a very B-pretentious picture and a dragging line with vicissitudes of life. After watching the movie, I realized how naive I was. The two have been undercover in black and white since they were teenagers. Liu, who is obviously a bad guy, has been promoted all the way in the police station, while Liang, the real good guy, has gone further and further in the underworld. On the surface, Liang is in the endless hell in the gang, in fact, both of them are surviving in the endless hell. Liang asked Superintendent Huang to restore his identity countless times. He longed to become a real and thorough good person. He said that I am a police officer, but in the end he could only tell his psychiatrist half-jokingly. The saddest thing in life is to do more righteous things than anyone else, but still can only be a bastard that others look down on. Compared with Liang, Liu's identity seems more bizarre, and his heart is more mysterious. Apart from his superficial identity, Liang is a thorough police officer, and Liu, is it good or bad? He has been in the police station for many years and has made a lot of contributions, but he has also been working hard for Brother Chen to release news. Originally a simple undercover villain became complicated in the last operation. He mastered the undercover of Superintendent Huang and used the undercover , his selfishness began to swell, he wanted to be promoted, to get rid of the control of others, he wanted to turn himself into a king! He killed his real boss with his own hands, so that he seemed to be able to cleanse himself and get rid of the entanglement of gangsters. Sure enough, he was promoted again, and the future is infinite. However, paper can't contain fire after all, and the truth will always be exposed. The confrontation between Liu and Liang officially began, and Liu said that he wanted to be a good person. After staying in the endless hell for a long time, he will have the desire to atone for his sins, not to mention that his conditions are sufficient, his ability is strong, he has made a lot of contributions, he has the trust of his boss, colleague's fiancée, and his former undercover identity cover, as long as he kills people who know his identity , who would suspect that he is an inner ghost, it is the happiest to be a good person who really walks in the sun. But there is one person who knows the truth, and he is the real good person. How will it end! The novelist fiancee wrote a novel, a man has 28 personalities, and he has to act non-stop since he wakes up, and he does not know who he is. . . . . . Finally, the fiancee asked desperately: I don't even know if he is a good person or a bad person, are you a good person! Is Liu a good person? It turned out not to be, but after many years in the police station, he may have changed a long time ago. He is eager to live an upright life, rather than living under a false identity. In fact, it is not that he wants to be a good person, but that he enjoys it. Everything that this good man status has brought him, including work, love, and the right to punish others in the name of justice. At the end of the movie, the picture goes back to the time when they were in the police academy ten years ago. This time I said that the person I want to replace with him is no longer the young Liu but the police officer Liu. In fact, it doesn't matter if he is good or bad in his heart, he wants to be upright and upright, even if it's just to be an upright villain who is despised by thousands of people. The movie ends with a Buddha saying, "Those who suffer from infernalities will never die, and longevity is a catastrophe in the infernal hell." Liang died, his identity was proved, and he was finally upright after his death, while Liu killed another The person who went undercover with him, I always felt that he killed this person because he felt sympathy for Liang, and finally wanted to avenge Liang. I thought carefully that although he may have a large part of the reason for this, he can't cover up this kind of treatment to himself. There are benefits too. He is the only one left in the police station who knows who he is. If he kills him, no one will know his disgrace. Although he is not an upright bad person, he can be upright and a good person after all! In the end, the movie returns to the theme of infinity. The highest of the eight hells is called the infernal hell, which is the meaning of suffering uninterrupted suffering, hence the name. Liang is dead and no longer suffers from being unidentified, and Liu is still alive and will live a long time, but he will never forget Brother Chen, the desperate and stunned eyes of his men and Liang, and he will never forget His own identity, no one can prove his identity, only he himself knows that he used to be a bad guy. Although the scenery is infinite now, Liang's eyes are watching him, torture him, his memories are pressing him, and he has to let him. Always remember that you are not a good person at all. An enviable identity in the world is actually an eternal hell for him, and in the hell, longevity is a catastrophe.

    Always see always new. In my opinion, one of the most wonderful designs in Infernal Affairs is that Chen Yongren never wavered from beginning to end. The moment he stood in the alley and saluted the superintendent's hearse, he shone with a strong and weak brilliance of humanity.

    8.1/10 After watching "The Departed", I feel like a Mini version. The Hong Kong version pays more attention to the complex, while the American version depicts the characters more fully.

  • SP Wong: Let me tell you a story. Two men need an organ transplant, but there's only one organ. So they play a game. They each put a card in their pocket. Whoever can guess the other's card wins the organ.

    Sam: You know I can see your card.

    SP Wong: I see yours as well.
