Infernal Affairs has received journalistic, popular and corporate notice but little vigorous critical attention. In this book, Gina Marchetti explores the way this example of Hong Kong's cinematic eclecticism has crossed borders as a story, a commercial product and a work of art; and has had an undeniable impact on current Hong Kong cinema. Moreover, she uses this trilogy to highlight the way Hong Kong cinema continues to be inextricably intertwined with global film culture and the transnational movie market. Infernal Affairs served as the source for the Academy Award-winning film The Departed (2006). The Martin Scorsese-directed film won Oscars for best motion picture, director, adapted screenplay and film editing. This is the first time that an American film based on a Hong Kong production swept the Academy Awards by winning four top prizes.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I remember the first time I saw my father being beaten by the Nazis. It was in 1942, when I was five years old, and I was with my mother and brother in Piotrków, Poland. Father was standing in a crowd of Jews, men on one side, women and children on the other. #2 The worst thing I endured during the Holocaust was not the hunger, the cold, or the beatings, but the humiliation. It is almost impossible to bare the helplessness of unjustified humiliation. #3 The three of us melded together as one. We had to be completely silent and keep as close to Mother as possible. We had to be smuggled out under cover of darkness, as if we were part of her body. #4 The three of us went out the door, but we were separated when one German noticed a bit more movement than expected. I was on the left side, my mother was on the right, and Shmuel was on the right side. The force of the blow hurled me and my mother into a puddle outside the synagogue.

Our culture often views shame in a negative light. However, Paul's use of shame, when properly understood and applied, has much to teach the contemporary church. Filling a lacuna in Pauline scholarship, this book shows how Paul uses shame to admonish and to transform the minds of his readers into the mind of Christ. The author examines Paul's use of shame for moral formation within his Jewish and Greco-Roman context, compares and contrasts Paul's use of shame with other cultural voices, and offers a corrective understanding for today's church. Foreword by Luke Timothy Johnson.

This is the ultimate, full-length hymn story, as spectacular and compelling today as when it was first written.
