What's going on in Hollywood?

Rating: 5/10 (29 June 2009)

Sad... It's so sad... This film, The Departed, has an 8'5. However, Infernal Affairs, the film that was the "inspiration" of this awful remake has just an 8'1... It's really sad finding one of the most amazing and relevant directors of all times, Mr. Scorsese, father of masterpieces like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Raging Bull or Casino, making the remake of an unknown Hong Kong trilogy. What happened? You see DiCaprio, Damon, Nicholson and all the other stars and you have a masterpiece? That's not what I thought cinema was. I've seen both versions, in fact I have it on DVD. The Departed is a great movie, that's true. But it's nothing more. I can't understand why Martin changed so many things and he still thought it would be the same story but told in a different words. This is not about Italian Mafia!!! This is about Chinese mafia, and that's not the same!!! Please, everyone who enjoyed The Departed: Take a look on Infernal Affairs. Or ask Tarantino about what he thinks about this remake... The film is OK, but there's no color between The Departed and IA. Salud!
