loh ya iya donk mau gede2 juga kaya scorsese? ntar filemnya gak mulai2 gara2 kebanyakan kredit. namanya juga adaptasi, yg dibeli ide ceritanya doank, jalan ceritanya ditulis ulang krn backgroundnya american gangster and cop bukan HK.

Tau dari mana orng2 amerika pada gak tau? Temen2 dr europe aja pada tau kok. dimana2 suka ditulis seh

anyway salah satu interview:

The story of "The Departed" is based on the 2002 crime thriller out of Hong Kong called "Infernal Affairs," which achieved great success in Asia before released (briefly) in the U.S. in 2004.

An American version was soon in the works, with William Monahan assigned to do the screenplay. Recalls the writer: "I hadn't seen 'Infernal Affairs,' and I didn't want to watch it before adapting the story. I worked from a translation of the Chinese script.

Says director Scorsese: "'Infernal Affairs' is a very good example of why I love the Hong Kong Cinema, but 'The Departed' is not a remake of that film. Our film was inspired by 'Infernal Affairs,' because of the nature of the story. However, the world Monahan created is very different from the Hong Kong film.

Anyway setau gue, sinetron di indo yg jiplak MG gak mau ngakuin ngambil idenya dr MG, padahal mirip banget tp akhirnya aga dipaksain beda krn banyak orng protes.
