The difference between "Infernal Affairs" and "Infernal Affairs" is far more than the difference in cultural values between the East and the West.
As a masterpiece in Hong Kong films, "Infernal Affairs" is like a template. It has been rewritten by major Hollywood screenwriters several times, enriching the character image, filling in the plot loopholes, and increasing humanistic feelings.
If filmed according to the commercial model of "Infernal Affairs", with the appeal of a world-class superstar like Leonardo, the global box office of "Infernal Affairs" will definitely exceed 290 million US dollars.
Likely like "Inception", it soared to $800 million.
This is a great story.
However, lack of sufficient artistry, the film also lost the possibility of attacking the Olympics.
Martin Scorsese is a film master, known in the industry as a film sociologist.
When it comes to the innovation of film concepts and the reform of shooting methods, he is even higher than Steven Spielberg, Krit Eastwood, and definitely Francis Coppola, Kubrick, Akira Kurosawa's level.
He couldn't have surrendered his identity to make a commercial film.
It's a wonderful idea to combine two heroines into one "Madeleine";
Inserting the identity of an FBI informant to the black boss "Frank Castro" makes the overall story more tragic. This rewrite also fills in some vague loopholes in the original plot and creates more Dramatic tension.
For "Colin Sullivan" played by Dunn, there is also an ingenious plot design. The golden roof on the Capitol appears several times in the plot, which reveals his inner desire to climb up. This is better than that of Liu Jianming in the Hong Kong version. In the second half of the story, the inexplicable "I want to be a good person" seems more natural and reasonable.
This deep-rooted hint makes a concise and powerful foreshadowing for character development.
The current scene, starring Dunn and Al Pacino, also reflects the huge difference between "The Departed" and "The Departed."
This is a secret meeting between the two in the cinema.
In "Infernal Affairs", this is a brand-new cinema, clean and tidy, and elegant art films are played on the big screen, giving it a sense of grandeur.
But on the set of "The Departed"...
Whenever Dunn was filming, Gal Gadot, who would have been watching silently by the side, no longer knew where he was going.
Many female staff members blushed.
Even Dunn was a little embarrassed.
It's a run-down little movie theater, with a bad environment, smelly smells, and broken seats, that's all.
What's on the big screen... is an adult movie!
This Martin Scorsese, too Nima spoof!
"Cough... Martin, is it really necessary to put an adult film?" Tang En looked at the large-scale picture on the big screen, his mouth was dry, and he quickly turned his eyes away.
"It is very necessary." Martin Scorsese said solemnly, "the value of social aesthetics lies in the real power provided by the image. This power can inspire the viewer to bravely face the pain of objective reality, in the violent, Think about the fundamentals of human nature in cruelty and blood, and improve the understanding and understanding of the contemporary real world."
"Get it!"
Tang En waved his hand, very helpless.
This old Martin, the movies he made, all belong to the style of "street movies", which has been reflected more than once during the shooting of "The Departed".
In "Infernal Affairs", there are tall and gorgeous scenes everywhere. Golf courses, high-end clubs, and even the police station are clean and spotless.
In "The Departed", there are dirty scenes everywhere, everything is messy, and boldly shows the pain at the bottom of society.
Expose the scars of the real society... This is probably the general nature of humanities and art films.
It is like a group of fifth- and sixth-generation directors in mainland China, such as the famous film Seven Gentlemen.
The difference is that in the United States, these people have become movie masters who stand up in high mountains; on the other side, those people have become national sinners who are shouted and beaten...
Al Pacino was calm, and watched the big screen with great interest for a while, then came over and said in a characteristic hoarse voice: "Dawn, this scene is different from our confrontation a few days ago. In this scene, you have to suppress your voice and whisper, you have to control it, and you have to be mentally prepared."
Al Pacino was somewhat surprised by his performances over the past few days.
A young man in his twenties, or the first time in his life to act, would he have such excellent acting skills?
Really surprised!
This time, it's an opportunity.
Al Pacino needs to test his strength!
...
In the cinema, Dunn was wearing a black leather jacket and a black peaked cap, carefully hidden in a corner of the middle row.
Al Pacino is in the front row of him, he is not in the mood to pay attention to Dunn now, he is staring at the big screen, then rubbing his hands in his crotch, muttering to himself: "Come on... come on ……Oh……"
Dunn was speechless.
Suddenly, Al Pacino stood up, he suddenly exposed the thing, facing Dunn, it looked like he was about to erupt.
Tang En jumped, stood up quickly, and got out of the way, very annoyed. But because it was in a movie theater, he couldn't shout out loud, so he whispered annoyed, "Damn, are you sick?"
With the growth of his status, he now does not have the respect for the boss "Frank".
Al Pacino didn't burst out, laughing proudly, "Don't you like it? Hey, I almost shot! Don't you like self-abuse?"
This is to imply that Dunn may be a comrade, which is why he and Cate Blanchett are often not raised when they slept.
Tang En said with a gloomy face, "Sit down!"
Al Pacino also felt the change in each other's status. At this time, Dunn was a big leader in the police station.
He still needs Tang En. He didn't have a seizure, but he was just a little bit indifferent. He turned to sit down, and said lightly, "I hope you won't betray me, can you still bear it?"
Tang En said immediately: "I won't collapse."
Al Pacino shook his head and said, "It's too easy for the police to find out if we choose such a place to meet."
Because it was a movie theater, the voices of the two of them were very low.
This added to the mystery of the meeting.
Also because of the excessive restraint and deepness, the difficulty of this performance has been greatly increased.
Fortunately, Dunn's "mirror possession" Kevin Spacey is best at this kind of introverted, gloomy, and extremely depressing performance.
Al Pacino intends to examine Dunn through this scene, and Dunn also wants to verify the strength of the "godfather" through this performance.
Simply open up your acting skills!
Let's have a contest!
The corners of Tang En's eyes were slightly raised, and he used subtle facial expressions to make up for the weakening of the personal momentum of the whispered words, trying to control the rhythm, and said in a low voice: "If this is a bad attention, why are you still here?"
Al Pacino was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little excited. The expression on his face showed a little bit of indifferent confidence, "Because this is my territory!"
"What?" Tang En frowned, looking like he wanted to laugh but couldn't. "I'm so **** surprised."
Al Pacino stretched out **** and waved it casually. With a wave of the boss's momentum, he said, "I have something to tell you, you have been assigned some other tasks."
Dunn was very surprised, "how the **** do you know?"
Al Pacino also completely entered the state, and asked lightly: "What did they ask you to do?"
Dunn said funnyly: "Frank, I want to find out 'myself'."
Al Pacino didn't seem to like this kind of cunning, and his tone was displeased: "Tell me now, kid!"
Dunn said: "I have to find out the inner ghost you planted in the police station."
"Everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, plus you are the inner ghost, I bet they can't find anything when they come."
"I know, but, Frank, for my sake, you have to keep a low profile right now."
Al Pacino disapproved, "Colin, keeping a low profile is not my style."
Dunn said eagerly: "Yes, you are powerful, and you are not afraid of anything. If you don't listen to my advice, what do you want me to do? Quinan now separates his department from us. He is very smart. You are very smart about this. Clear. Frank, I can find the insider, but you'll have to let me go."
"Okay." Al Pacino pondered for a while, and finally agreed to Dunn's request, then took out an envelope said meaningfully, "If you still can't find the inside In the end, it's not me who will be the first to be unlucky."
Dunn said dissatisfiedly: "Why do you need to remind me again and again? Does this help me in my current job? Frank, you have to believe me, okay? Please believe me, Frank! If you lie, you know I'm very good at it. yes, right?"
The performances of the two sides, you coming and going with me, are like a tug of war.
Al Pacino regarded Dunn as a sidekick; Dunn began to ignore Al Pacino less and less because of his improved status in the police station and his increased role in the gang.
The obedience of the past is gone forever.
Al Pacino narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to himself, "Maybe I play with too many women, and I don't understand why so many people play **** in the movie theater."
Dunn was stunned, but didn't understand.
But I always felt that this sentence was a bit threatening.
A look of panic flashed across his face, a little nervous.
At this time, Al Pacino's mouth twitched. He straightened his clothes, stood up, and was about to leave. He handed the envelope in his hand to Dunn, and bent over in a low voice: "Who knows what is easy? Lin, I believe you can handle this well."
"very good!"
At this point, Martin Scorsese stopped the show.
In one go, there is tension and relaxation, very good!
However, Dunn, who had not yet escaped from the role at this time, looked at the back of Al Pacino and felt that the hand in his pocket was shaking slightly.
"That's what the **** is called acting!"
Dunn couldn't help clenching his fists and sighed secretly.
"The Departed" has been filming for almost a month, and he feels the thrill of the thrill of the performance.
