Afterthought

Watching this movie left me with the deepest notion that money can really do whatever it wants. The beginning of the story is about a detective Jack. Because he was not satisfied with living in a muddle-headed manner in the police station. Instead, choose to live another life. Thus he became a private investigator. Want to serve his inner justice. Investigating a person from the Water Conservancy Bureau at the beginning of the game. As the case develops. The secret was revealed bit by bit. The heroine's life is very bleak. Being abused by his father. Her husband was also killed by his father. But she can do nothing. It can only develop like this. And the daughter with the father is both a daughter and a sister. After the black hand has known who it is behind the scenes. But there is no such thing as a happy ending when solving the case. Instead, reality defeated imagination. In the play, reality is like a giant. Like we have revealed a theme. There is no such a view of utopia in the world. But afterwards. A kind person does not end well. Instead, the bad guys get away with it. Maybe it's like that movie line. Nothing can be done. Because this is Chinatown. At that time, Chinatown felt more like a dark carrier. It is a kind of being dark. Unbearable. A place wrapped in chaos. And the police? Did nothing. The best is inaction. This may be the feeling that this kind of dark reality movie brings to me. And bureaucracy. Rely on the position to make personal gains. This is where they are unbearable. I think the good thing about this movie is its characterization. Portray Jack as the part of people who still have a conscience. But will there be many such people in the world? About this question. I am noncommittal. I think it may be very rare. And it lies in such a thing. There should be results if everyone is more just. Instead of relying on someone's power.
