Infernal affairs

I can now truly understand why this movie has being the blockblaster for all three sequel. It is truly a good and insightful movie.

the script writer has wonderfully linked the lives of the people in the story. Even people from two extreme end seems to fit into each other lives so perfectly.

one's persistence in becoming a policeman trying to break away from what lives put him in, and the other giving up whatever he have and can gain in life for something he believes s more important than anything else, a woman he loves so dearly.

these has indirectly shown the cruel reality of lives. From the moment we are born, part of our path has already being laid for us. The background of the family, no matter how much we deny it, how much we fight against it, it will always be there and people in the past or now no matter how much the society has changed, this stigma is still around. The police- wannabe, the best police cadet in the police school was forced to leave after the fact that he is from a family of gangster. All is hardworking and achievements was reduced to null because of his background.

the persistence and the love for a person, so great that one can even change their lives motives. A man who only wishes to be a good man turn to being a gangster for the woman he loves but could not get. A man betrayal to all the beliefs he had hold to his heart for the woman he loves, the so great that eventually he lead her to her death as he was blinded by jealously. This show the folly of a man when he faces love and the greatness of love that could change someone so much. From here we can also see that not everything will go our way even though we try hard.

everyone's' roles is ambiguous in the show. The good is to entirely good while the bad is not all bad. No black or white but only a region of gray.

what I felt that make this show so great is in spite all the cruel reality posed in the show, each character in the story have someone that hold dear to. Some one that motivates the in their lives someone they believes in fighting for.sometimes during the show, I would think why don;t they just give up and be a normal person, such funny people but as I watched on, I realized it is the bond that ties each and everyone of them so beautifully together that keeps them in the role they are playing.

this is really really a great show, i haven't even mention the twist and character relations. but it would be too taxing.
