The film is adapted from a true story and took place in Los Angeles in the 20th century. It tells the story of a dark politician and a capitalist who had collaborated badly to make huge profits. The story revolves around the story of building a dam. A private detective who once worked in Chinatown suddenly received an investigation request disguised as the wife of the director of water conservancy. The investigation content was about the director of water conservancy’s extramarital affairs. A detective, full of a desire for the truth, he began to carefully follow up and investigate the director of water conservancy, and took some unfavorable photos of the director...Finally, the process and operation of the two colluding and fooling the people were shown in detail to the audience .
In this whole incident, it vividly demonstrated people's greed for desire and money, as well as the hypocrisy and treacherousness of human nature. At that time, when the city was extremely short of water, in order to get the approval of the dam construction incident, the villain often secretly opened the gate and released water at night, which caused the loss of fresh water resources and exacerbated the water shortage. They want to take advantage of the blindness and ignorance of the masses to claim the right to build dams. If there is no fresh water resource for people to use, people will take some extreme measures, and then the government will have to agree to build dams. Resulting in the villain's success and profiteering from it.
At the end of the film, the private investigator watched the wife of the Water Conservancy Bureau being chased by the inferior father with a hypocritical policeman, passing through the back of the head, through the eyeball, leaving a bloody pit. Accompanied by the heart-piercing screams of the middle daughter, she was taken away by the "grandfather" who is not as good as the beast, and there is no nostalgia... This film is a qualified noir film in my opinion, and it truly reflects the cruelty of human nature. .
