Infernal Affairs - 6

This is a Chinese cop drama. It has a complex story line which plays out the tension between doing well and doing good. That is a small distinction, especially those that live in American culture, but I think that this film can speak to our culture just as well as its own using the mode of storytelling. On the same note, I think I could have missed part of what the film was saying because I don't know Chinese culture, or the language for that matter. I don't think that this hinders the enjoyment of watching films from other cultures though. In the end, it has you trying to figure out who you are rooting for.
