Tony Leung scores over here…,though Leonardo is also grt actor

OG so much better…

Infernal Affairs was such a better made movie than The Departed. It has more depth, they broke it into three parts for this movie.

Infernal Affairs used flashbacks way too much and treated the audience like kids but The Departed was such a silly, over the top and stupid movie. Like I really needed to hear classic rock in another Scorsese film and they wasted Ray Winstone.

ooh leo don't make that face...

Infernal Affairs just nails that Hong Kong flick “good guy yay, bad guy boo.” Simplicity and then throws it into carnage like a Greek tragedy. The Departed is so much more unhinged with a lot more layering in characters, and a lot more gore, profanity and violence. It feels more like King Lear with dramatic moments and terrible deaths. So yeah, same story but execution is apples and oranges for me.

Tony Leung needed no dialogue and yet said absolutely everything.

Departed is way better

Who is the director? He can't even copy homework

Sorry Leo, Tony's just better. Leo's a great actor too in his own right.

It's a shame Infernal Affairs didn't won an Oscar whereas The Departed have

0:57 u see that Leo changes his face instantly when gang members come...

The only difference is that The Departed is fast-paced while IA fleshes out every main characters in the movie

The Departed had one of the worst scripts ever!!! the moment this happened, Leo is throwing the F bomb then the guys in the car throws F bomb over the phone and then the goons comes out of the building and F bombs Leo yes, best lazy script writing

当然是无间道，因为他是原版。但美国版更真实和震撼。香港是一个小地方，他所有的电影给人小气的感觉，香港总共600多万人，600万的精英，怎么也比不上美国3亿人的精英，香港电影剧本相对来说也有些俗套，特别是当你长大了，你去看从前的香港电影和美国电影，美国电影依然好看，香港电影就俗套小气了，但就说演技的话，香港这些资深演员演技都不比好莱坞演员差。香港能凭这么小的地方，发展出成龙等功夫电影风靡全球，已经很难能可贵了，除了好莱坞，也就香港到达过这种高度。

Dufferent culture, different characters backgrounds, etc. All these contribute to the great diversity in movie making, even though both are essentially telling the same story.

ディパーテッドが何故オスカーが取れたのか不思議だ。インファナルアフェアは泣けた…運命を入れ替えられた男たちの哀しみ､死への恐怖､トニーは天国に旅立ち､アンディは仏教で言う終わりの無い地獄に墜ちた。ディパーテッドにはそれが描かれていない｡

2002-2005.

The difference is one was intended for western audiences and one was made for eastern audiences. If you find Internal Affairs more emotional and dramatic while The Departed was too fast and gritty, then you're more used to eastern films. If you find Infernal Affairs cheesy and soap-opera-ish while The Departed was realistic, then you're mored used to wester films. Simple.

i love martin but infernal affairs was a brilliant piece, the meaning is much more complex than the departed. it focused more in the mental aspects of the two characters.

Infernal affairs is a solid crime thriller, but you guys in the comments saying its better than the Departed are just delusional. Scorese completely fleshed out all the characters and expanded on all themes, Departed is better its simply not close. One of the best remakes of all time

Infernal Affairs is way better than the Departed and its not even close. Especially if you watched Infernal Affairs before you watched The Departed. The Departed was miscasted. Several of the actors didn't fit the movie. Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Antony Tsang and the other Hong Kong actors also acted way better than the American actors. Some of the American actors acting were very exaggerated and didn't come off as natural. Hong Kong actors like Tony Leung are much more subtle and can communicate emotions just with their eyes instead of being so animated. Also Hong Kong movies are better than American movies in general given that they don't follow the stereotypically American script that is the exact same script for dang near every movie. American movies, at the beginning of the movie, you already know the end of it. The good guy is going to win, he's going to get the girl at the end and exchange a kiss and then everyone lives happily ever after. Hong Kong movies, will straight up kill the main character of the movie and wont give a dam* lol. And the bad guys actually win in many of the movies. The Infernal Affairs is a masterpiece in suspense, character development, plot twist and great acting by everyone involved.

Infernal Affairs is so much better. I don't give a damn that Martin fucking Scorsese directed The Departed, it was a pretty bland and unnecessary remake. Plus, I love Di Caprio and Damon, I'm not crazy... but charisma-wise, Tony Leung crushes them both. Plus, all Jack Nicholson does in this movie is his Jack Nicholson show. In IA, Eric Tsang's villain is generic, but it's okay, what matters is the two main characters.

scrub english version cringe af

scorsese made infernal affairs better, better OST better acting raw emotions no slow mo scenes. its a masterpiece, well both movies are, it just shows how scorsese is a great director . remakes are usually bad , the departed aint

Americans overdo it always...and it is never realistic in American Cinema. Never! The Hong Kong piece is the Original and that's why cutting & acting was original. Without the music it would have been better, but there is no better. It's a question of taste. I enjoy both because I'm neither American nor Chinese.

Shitty hollywood remake

Copying is now called adaptation.

I was fortunate enough to have seen Infernal Affairs in Asia when it came out. Similar to Hong Kong Noir fims of decade + prior with less sappiness. I have seen the Departed with other homage/ copycat films of IA and the orignal is better. (And no, the Depated is not on par with other Scorsese films like the Goodfellas.)

This showed a big difference in term of directing. In The Departed, all I see that Leo acted like a gambler who lost a big bet. In Infernal, we see emotional attachment between 2 characters. And Tong Leung's eye was a gem.

for the departed, i think it would be better if we just saw the body fall in front of leo, rather than the prior shot of the body falling. one thing I liked though is seeing Leo's change in expression when the thugs came out

IA is corny

Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang. Legend 🙌

This was one of the best scenes of IA and when I saw it in the Departed I was sooo pissed, haha. It had none of the emotional weight it had in IA - I felt the surprise, the grief, the numbness, the feeling like you're a goner, your entire life is lost even though you are actually managing to survive physically. I much more preferred it to be shown from the subjective point of view. I don't dig the cheesiness - I think those flashbacks are awful - but it was kind of an aesthetic choice, popular at that time, I suppose. So I simply ignore it and focus on Tony's performance in that very scene which was superb

I honestly prefer the departed for its presentation, but ill give the credit to infernal affairs because its the original.

Saw _Infernal Affairs_ first, but prefer _The Departed._ Although it's perhaps my Scorsese bias in me, though I like Leung's more subdued take on the character over DiCaprio's more explosive one.

The Departed had a darker and probably more nihilistic version of the events of Infernal Affairs.

Scorsesse did it way better.

Leonardo DiCaprio has always been superb, but that recovery feels more "Catch me if you can" than some undercover cop who just lost his handler. Putting into context, great scene though.

Damn IA with the most heartbreaking style

I’ve never watched Internal Affairs, but based off this scene. I think I prefer The Departed. It’s more gritty and realistic as opposed to the more cinematic feel of IA. I like how in Departed he doesn’t really have time to take in his death, there’s a mix of sadness, confusion and anger, but he has to quickly move on. I definitely have to watch IA, maybe once I see the whole movie I’ll like it more.

Flashback are common in Asian movies imo

very cool how much etc can relaly change a scene. inferna affairs has a different impact cause their connection felt like a father and son relationship. and now tony is all on his own on this missions

Damn, it's just a bunch of adjectives aptly attached to well-chosen scenes of a movie and its remake, but it taught me so much!

infernal affairs too good so far

I suppose IA is the better screenplay, but there’s no way you can argue that Scorcese is the better director, and The Departed was better directed.

I should also state the fact that the way Tony leung says lines with just his eyes is quite similar to Alain Delon.

I prefer IA over the departed because IA feels like a cinema more similar to the controlled and cold neo-noir cinema of Jean Pierre Melville.

Infernal Affairs is much much better.
