Hi,
I recently upgraded my VW Polo 2018 Reg 'R Line' Spec, to have Hertz Speakers (my OEM ones had blown).
The final step was to upgrade my tweeters, but when I took the A Pillar out, I noticed the OEM tweeters have much bigger drivers.
Should I keep the OEM ones or install the new ones? Will it sound weird without matching tweeters?
I don’t understand the hype.
To be clear, I went into the movie knowing it was the original version of The Departed.
I so wanted to enjoy this movie. But it just felt super low budget and not in a good way.
So many flaws with this movie. The younger actors look like entirely different people and nothing like their older counterparts. The “Boss” character is super underdeveloped, one dimensional, and cliched. The dialogue is basically nothing but exposition.
But by far the worst problem is the the editing. It’s all over the place. Cheesy flash back scenes, replaying the same scene again, and about 20,000 cross dissolves per minute. The “lift” scene was edited so strangely. Its feels like a straight-to-dvd low budget Hong Kong action film.
It’s a movie that treats the audiences like they are dumb. Constantly flashing back to a scene that happened 10 minutes ago as if we had forgotten. Or playing over the top music when are ‘supposed’ to feel sad. Or having a character explain everything happening on screen through unnatural dialogue. Honestly, this is a pet peeves of mine. The movie employs some of the most obvious and least interesting storytelling techniques. Why does is this movie allowed to get away with it?
The story is cool and it’s a pretty fun watch. I don’t care too much for the departed either, to be honest. Aside from the “twist” is it really an amazing movie? But, in my opinion, some of the scenes and characters are handled much more effectively in The Departed (with the benefit of much bigger budget of course).
I feel like if Infernal Affairs was re-edited it will be a much better movie. Feels so dated and cliche.
Surely I can’t be alone in thinking this? It feels a bit ‘emperor’s new clothes’ looking at the other reviews on Reddit.
