Infernal Affairs

Hmmm... Infernal affairs. At first i thought that CM lolipop have technical error on his typing, (Im guessing Internal affair is the right word). Unfortunately CM didnt reply. So i try to understand this word Infernal Affair by searching the meaning of seperate words of Infernal and Affair. What did i get? : Death affairs -.-'.Does it make any sense? I dont think so. So i search it again the word as a whole in my favorite search engine. Wikipedia. Dang are you serious? Its a cantonise movie. Oh well... I watch that movie in some free online movie sites. I have a feeling im gonna soar my eyes in reading the Sub-Title english translation... But its is ok, im expecting this movie is going to be good because CM lollipop chose this as the topic.

Anyway ive watch the movie. At first yehey I love Cops and spies and stuff like that. But the plot is blurry i think, maybe becuase of Sub-Title english translation im reading. Dang my eyes are aching. In the end, its all worth it. Wew i like the twist and the unexpected ending.

Anyways, the story is about Hon Sam, boss. Sam is sending a number of young newbies to the police academy to train as a police at the same time to become a Spy to the Police department. one of them is Lau Kin-Ming. At the same time another person named Chen Wing-Yan is in the academy too. Yan is expelled from the academy despite of his excellent performance. In reality Yan becomes an undercover reporting directly to only Wong and Yip. Yan's job becomes complicated while Ming quickly climbs his way in the police department. In short, Chen Wing-Yan goes deep undercover in the Triad Society, while Triad member Lau Kin-Ming infiltraes the police department.

Great twist though, Ming became a "good guy " police officer while Yan died because Yan got headshot by one of "Mole"-mates (name not mentioned) of Ming. Then eventually the same person was also killed on purpose by Ming to erase any traces of connection between the gang. (the "Mole"-mates volunteer to do that for Ming).

All i can say is that the objectives of both parties are like playing chess, attacking the opponent internally is more effective by having as much spy or Mole as possible. I like the morse code thing they do and the Phrase" If ever you see someone not paying attention to what he is doing but his eyes is on you, then definitely he is a COP". Kinda applicable to GM hades XP. One thing that bothers me, is Ming the bad guy of the story? It is quite complicated, considering the fact that Yan died for his selfishly attempt to change his destiny and became a "good guy". Not to mention Ming delete his criminal record as well as Yan's record so that no trace of evidence will remain. Well the ending is quite similar to the ending of Angels and Demon. Thats what make this movie more interesting. You cannot easily identify who is the antagonist of the story.

I made a 7 page comic strip manually drawn by me (i finish this quickly in 3 hours since i have many things to do in the house XP). The concept is also the same in Infernal Affairs , about two people who is about to betray there friendship to one another for the loyalty of there Boss. Enjoy. One thing i learn from this movies is that the environment that surrounds you always give strong influence to the person, whether it is good or bad influence.
