The Departed《无间道风云》(精讲之六)
[ 2007-06-15 17:49 ]

影片对白  I'm a sergeant of Massachusetts State Police, who the fuck are you? I erased you!

思想火花  两部片子的叙述核心本就不同。从片名上,港版的叫《无间道》、《Infernal Affairs》(《地狱之事》),美版的叫《The Departed》(《背叛者》),前者带有佛教的反思意味,充满了个人内心的情感纠缠,探讨了自我迷失和认知这些更深层的问题。而后者更注重抓内鬼这一情节的复杂性,用暴力和粗口将影片涂上重重的黑色。

Federal Bureau Of Investigation 美国联邦调查局

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.
