思想火花
兩部片子的敘述核心本就不同。從片名上，港版的叫《無(wú)間道》、《Infernal Affairs》（《地獄之事》），美版的叫《The
Departed》（《背叛者》），前者帶有佛教的反思意味，充滿了個(gè)人內(nèi)心的情感糾纏，探討了自我迷失和認(rèn)知這些更深層的問(wèn)題。而后者更注重抓內(nèi)鬼這一情節(jié)的復(fù)雜性，用暴力和粗口將影片涂上重重的黑色。

Federal Bureau Of Investigation 美國(guó)聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the nation's
primary federal investigative service. As the investigative arm of the
Department of Justice, FBI was created in 1908 by Attorney General Charles J.
Bonaparte over the initial opposition of Congress who feared political abuse of
such powers.
The mission of the FBI is to uphold and enforce
federal criminal laws, aid international, state, and local police and
investigative services when appropriate, and to protect the United States
against terrorism and threats to national interests.
The FBI employs nearly 30,000 men and women, including 12,000 special agents.
The organization, headquartered in Washington, D.C., is field-oriented,
maintaining a network of 56 domestic field offices, 45 foreign posts, and 400
satellite offices (resident agencies). The agency relies on both foreign and
domestic intelligence information, to aid its anti-terror operations. As a law
enforcement authority, the FBI only has jurisdiction in interstate, or federal,
crimes.
During and after World War I, the FBI investigated draft resisters, violators
of the Espionage Act of 1917, and alien residents suspected of radicalism. This
kind of surveillance marked a shift away from criminal investigations toward
individuals thought to be domestic security threats, a group including such
diverse figures as Jane Addams and Fiorello La Guardia. Such misuse of the FBI's
powers led to reorganization in 1924. The bureau received orders not to engage
in wiretapping or to investigate the political activities of individuals. J.
Edgar Hoover, appointed director, professionalized the bureau, placing
appointments and promotions on a merit basis and developing new crime-fighting
techniques.
Despite the ban on political surveillance, World War II and the cold war
prompted a wide expansion of security investigations. Under the guise of
national security the FBI amassed over thirty-five thousand linear feet of files
on individual citizens. Following the death of Hoover and the Watergate scandal
in which it was involved, Congress and the attorney general again issued
guidelines designed to prevent such abuse. In the late 1970s the FBI shifted its
investigations toward organized and white-collar crime.
