I have watched a lot and listened a lot, almost all of them are praises. They all say that the script of "Chinatown" has no dead ends and is strict and meticulous, but I have a little question, who will answer it for me?
I admire the bricks very much. At the beginning of the movie, our detective gave the fisherman red wine in the wine cabinet. The bricks could see that he had taken a bottle of cheap goods. Looking at drops with a magnifying glass?
Well, since the bricks are so insightful and analytical, please ask the bricks to analyze my doubts for me.
The question appears at the end of the movie. Since our great detective JAKE wants to protect this woman and help her escape from LA, he also knows that Mrs. Morales will go to Chinatown for a temporary escape, so why JAKE still attracts the police and Mrs. Morales Where is my father going to Chinatown? He may be trying to lead the police there to catch Mrs. Morale's father, but this is totally different from his idea at the beginning of the film. Because he used to be in the office, his client, the poor fisherman Clay, saw Kitty secretly photographed for him the pornographic photos of his wife stealing the man, crying and yelling: "I'm going to kill her!" Kitty shoved him. Going out and scolding him, "You have to be rich if you want to kill without being punished. Do you have that much money?" This shows that our great detective knows that the rich and powerful cannot be punished. Then why, since he knows that rich people are difficult to shake, he still has to lead the rich and powerful to the women, instead of leading the police and Mrs. Morale's father to other places, and then telling the police the truth? Isn't it very unreasonable?
Since they all wanted to protect Mrs. Morales and her daughter, they had to let the mother and daughter risk being found by their father. In the end, the wicked was not punished and took away the girl even though the granddaughter was the daughter. The most sympathetic Mrs. Morale died under the gun of a policeman who should have done justice for him. It was really bleak. And from the previous plot, we can also understand that our detective was beaten several times and his nose was cut off. He is just smart, but he is not proficient in fighting flat people, knowing that he can’t deal with Mrs. Morale’s father at the same time. The police, even insisting on being a hero, led Mrs. Morale to the place where Mrs. Morale took refuge temporarily. It is very unreasonable.
Polanski blindly designed the last scene in order to make the ending Polanski-like, but his design was unreasonable. With JAKE's wisdom, can he easily put the woman he wants to protect into danger? And he has learned a lesson. The lesson learned when he was a police officer in Chinatown, he will not fail to remember. He will be more cautious and deliberate when protecting his second woman, Mrs. Morale.
Therefore, Xiaosheng feels that it is unreasonable, unreasonable and unreasonable. The drama is not as blind as the evaluation, and the logic is a bit messy, and the front and back are not as good as they are said. Bricks, what do you say?

    #重看#4.5; It's a big change from the first look, and it's unexpectedly exciting! A typical noir film, a tragic heroine, a Chandler-like anti-hero hero, a small character instigates the big picture, life and death depend on fate, wealth and wealth, and the unchangeable fateful ending; due to the infiltration of the "Chinatown·China" factor, it has a strong realistic color There is a layer of mystery; Nicholson has superb acting skills and the role is very personal.

    "He thought that after leaving the land in Chinatown, he would return to an objective, fair, and rule of law society. In fact, he was wrong. Everywhere is Chinatown."
