The suspense of this movie is created very well. First of all, it is a reversal of the plot. When one case is over, another case will follow one after another, and the previous case is like a trigger for a bigger conspiracy. The theme of this movie is drawn from that line. This is Chinatown. If you have the right, you can get away with it. A detective investigating an affair was forced to be involved in a politician's conspiracy. As the case progressed, not only the "water stealing scandal", but even incest was also picked up. He wanted to be fair, although it was to exonerate himself, but he was still involved in this whirlpool. Jack is a very realistic character. You can tell from what he said to the men who came to him for investigation at the beginning? Are you going to kill them? Are you rich? And he is also a selfish person who can enjoy. What kind of wine to drink can coax the customer smoothly, saying that he doesn't care about the money. At this time, he doesn't care about anything, he has nothing to believe in, he just lives in this industry, but it is such a person with no persistence in his heart that is involved in a big case for no reason, so his transformation is about to begin. The Hollywood script and character transformation are very classic in this movie. It has strong reasons for him to make a logical transformation to promote the plot. What makes him change? Like the TV star policeman of "L.A. Confidential", his There was an ideal in his heart, but then he didn’t. It was not until he met the heroine that he regained that dream. This was not a simple revenge, but emotional tugging, so the death of the heroine was heartbreaking and helpless. . How does the script of this film go a little bit in-depth, from the opening pornographic photos that attracted the audience, and then through a derailment incident to show Jack's identity, environment and even personality one by one, and was pulled in for no reason through an investigation In the conspiracy, investigating the truth in order to get rid of crime, this is how to expose the truth of the incident to the audience. It must have an action purpose to instruct it to emerge slowly and reasonably. This is the suspense of this movie. The place to make success.

    I don’t like Jack Nicholson’s face so much. I think the shooting is still very smooth, and I can understand his character setting. The heroine is beautiful and looks smooth until the end. . MD is so terrible, and most hate the so-called realism is dark, really tm in the second, who needs to be taught by a movie about the sinister and justice of society. .

    I have always been looking forward to mastering the skills of making Nicholson’s seemingly harmless smiles that are actually in the bones.
