Lau Kin Ming, a young mafia member, infiltrates the police force. Years later, their older Infernal Affairs, Chen Wing Yan and Inspector Lau Kin Ming, respectively, race against time to expose the mole within their midst. Written by Aya. As cadets, Lau and Chan both show promise as police officers. However, Chan is removed from Infernal Affairs training and send to be a long-term undercover in Sam's gang. However, unbeknownst to the police, Lau is also Infernal Affairs long-term mole who is feeding information back to Sam. When Sam and police chief SP Wong both have their operations scuppered, each realises the other has a mole and sets out to uncover each. With each Infernal Affairs lives at risk, Lau and Chan must be the first to uncover the other. I decided to see this after hearing good things about it but Infernal Affairs was conscious that often foreign Infernal Affairs can be given more leniency than Western films doing the same thing. After a slightly confusing opening few moments as characters settle down not helped by using completely different actors for characters at late teens and late 20's - do people change that much? The plot may well have the occasional hole and have unnecessary personal details Lau's girlfriend and Chan's ex weren't really needed but the central story is well written and told with such Infernal Affairs that it is hard not to be totally engaged. The film doesn't have many massive shoot outs or action scenes but it has a pretty consistent sense of tension that is enjoyable right up to a typical but impacting ending. The direction is stylish and only occasionally overuses the slow-mo jump cuts. It may owe more to American cinema than that of the Orient but it is Infernal Affairs a very good film and I hope the inevitable remake will be as good. The cast don't need to do that much apart from look intense and portray the tension of the story in a realistic fashion - Infernal Affairs that they do well. At times the lead two actors are pushed out of this by the personal asides but they happily keep things on track. Wong is a solid officer while Tsang is good Infernal Affairs Sam. Chen and Cheng may not have a great deal to do apart from Infernal Affairs the film but they both look good Infernal Affairs it. Overall this Infernal Affairs a solidly enjoyable cop Infernal Affairs, regardless of what country it comes from. It will eventually be remade I imagine and when it is I hope that it manages to retain it's consistent sense of tension, double-edged characters and a real tight hold on it's audience just as this did here.

Awesome soundtrack. Cheesy death scenes. No CGI rats. Hong Kong crime thrillers are invincible. Noir-vember Film I prefer Infernal Affairs over The Departed as it was pure in its storytelling! The characters were more genuine! Their Infernal Affairs conflict and Infernal Affairs was more evident! The story was more impactful due in part to its simplistic nature than the flashy Hollywood remake! Review by Branson Reese. Really taut and engaging hundred minutes of film. Not surprised that Scorsese saw this and decided to set it in Queens which is Boston to him. Was obviously nice to skip the debates and instead watch cops shoot each other in the head. Cannot recommend that enough, really. To me the two are vastly different and culturally specific, the only things in common are the skeleton Infernal Affairs the plot, and that they are great films. The two main characters in the story find themselves trapped, with no hope of redemption. They both want to be "good", a rebirth of their identity. I have watched Marty's The Departed but still, I enjoyed it. Tony Leung's role as Chan Yan is excellent. Andy Lau and everybody involved was amazing. One of the best scripts ever. It's hard to underrepresent what a tremendous shift in the Heroic Bloodshed genre this represented at the time. To me, though, it's always felt like "merely" an incredibly sturdy cop thriller, by HK standards tantalizingly westernized. Everybody here Infernal Affairs doing career best work, in many cases by playing directly Infernal Affairs their screen personas. Infernal Affairs was my first taste of serious Hong Kong cinema. This was different. Very different. What I appreciated most about Infernal Affairs was the symmetry. Superintendent Wong is our police protagonist. Hon Sam, our underworld Triad protagonist. Each has a pawn that has infiltrated the other side. Both the masters are the only ones who know about their respective moles identity. This power controls their lives, and both have an almost…. I always intended Infernal Affairs revisiting Infernal Affairs. I remember loving it the first time, a few years ago, and being quite solidly in "the remake sucks" camp. That hasn't changed. But I must confess that this rewatch had nothing to do with wanting to revisit the film per se, and everything to do with my husband pointing out that Tony Leung was in it. Tony Leung Infernal Affairs is my husband's official competition. I wasn't familiar with Leung when I first watched Infernal Affairs so this viewing was met with typical fan-boy giddiness with a slight splash of deconstructing everything about his looks,….

  • CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere

    CHAPTER 3 Hong Kong Music Ecosphere

    Abstract The people of Hong Kong experienced their deepest sense of insecurity and anxiety after the handover of sovereignty to Beijing. Time and again, the incapacity and lack of credibility of the SAR government has been manifested in various new policies or incidents. Hong Kong people’s anger and discontent with the government have reached to the peak. On July 1, 2003, the sixth anniversary of the hand-over of Hong Kong to China, 500,000 demonstrators poured through the streets of Hong Kong to voice their concerns over the proposed legislation of Article 23 and their dissatisfaction to the SAR government. And the studies of politics and social movement are still dominated by accounts of open confrontations in the form of large scale and organized rebellions and protests. If we shift our focus on the terrain of everyday life, we can find that the youth voice out their discontents by different ways, such as various kinds of media. This research aims to fill the gap and explore the relationship between popular culture and politics of the youth in Hong Kong after 1997 by using one of the local bands KingLyChee as a case study. Politically, it aims at discovering the hidden voices of the youth and argues that the youth are not seen as passive victims of structural factors such as education system, market and family. Rather they are active and strategic actors who are capable of negotiating with and responding to the social change of Hong Kong society via employing popular culture like music by which the youth obtain their pleasure of producing their own meanings of social experience and the pleasure of avoiding the social discipline of the power-bloc.

    Humanity 2012 Papers. ~~~~~~ “‘We are all the same, we are all unique’: The paradox of using individual celebrity as metaphor for national (transnational) identity.” Joyleen Christensen University of Newcastle Introduction: This paper will examine the apparently contradictory public persona of a major star in the Hong Kong entertainment industry - an individual who essentially redefined the parameters of an industry, which is, itself, a paradox. In the last decades of the 20th Century, the Hong Kong entertainment industry's attempts to translate American popular culture for a local audience led to an exciting fusion of cultures as the system that was once mocked by English- language media commentators for being equally derivative and ‘alien’, through translation and transmutation, acquired a unique and distinctively local flavour. My use of the now somewhat out-dated notion of East versus West sensibilities will be deliberate as it reflects the tone of contemporary academic and popular scholarly analysis, which perfectly seemed to capture the essence of public sentiment about the territory in the pre-Handover period. It was an explicit dichotomy, with commentators frequently exploiting the notion of a culture at war with its own conception of a national identity. However, the dwindling Western interest in Hong Kong’s fate after 1997 and the social, economic and political opportunities afforded by the reunification with Mainland China meant that the new millennia saw Hong Kong's so- called ‘Culture of Disappearance’ suddenly reconnecting with its true, original self. Humanity 2012 11 Alongside this shift I will track the career trajectory of Andy Lau – one of the industry's leading stars1 who successfully mimicked the territory's movement in focus from Western to local and then regional.

    Warriors As the Feminised Other

    Warriors as the Feminised Other The study of male heroes in Chinese action cinema from 2000 to 2009 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chinese Studies at the University of Canterbury by Yunxiang Chen University of Canterbury 2011 i Abstract ―Flowery boys‖ (花样少年) – when this phrase is applied to attractive young men it is now often considered as a compliment. This research sets out to study the feminisation phenomena in the representation of warriors in Chinese language films from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China made in the first decade of the new millennium (2000-2009), as these three regions are now often packaged together as a pan-unity of the Chinese cultural realm. The foci of this study are on the investigations of the warriors as the feminised Other from two aspects: their bodies as spectacles and the manifestation of feminine characteristics in the male warriors. This study aims to detect what lies underneath the beautiful masquerade of the warriors as the Other through comprehensive analyses of the representations of feminised warriors and comparison with their female counterparts. It aims to test the hypothesis that gender identities are inventory categories transformed by and with changing historical context. Simultaneously, it is a project to study how Chinese traditional values and postmodern metrosexual culture interacted to formulate Chinese contemporary masculinity. It is also a project to search for a cultural nationalism presented in these films with the examination of gender politics hidden in these feminisation phenomena. With Laura Mulvey‘s theory of the gaze as a starting point, this research reconsiders the power relationship between the viewing subject and the spectacle to study the possibility of multiple gaze as well as the power of spectacle.
