Great movie, but just a very good copy!!!

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2010)

At first when i saw that movie i was charmed and tough that it was one of me tops, but yesterday I say, without knowing, the movie Mou Gaan Dou and I was surprised that it was exactly the same movie...
The departed is great, the acting , the directing is a must see, but how can a movie wins Oscars for best writing when its an exact copy of an other existing movie... I was frustrated about that, because at first i tough it was original.
The movies i love best are the ones with intelligent stories and this is why I loved that movie at first. But now it dropped a all lot in my tops even if it stays there... maybe in my top 500...
(spoiler) The other point is that in Hollywood movie the bad guy is always supposed to die at the end or at least fail and this is what i didn't like about the departed and I liked about mou gaan dou.
There'S something wrong with Hollywood movie and I'm starting to get away from them, at least to see a really good script. For entertainment they are still good, but the Oscars is still just an American price giving for American films while forgetting the real masterpieces.
