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.

    cherchez la femme. (!!!!!!!) It’s really fried...this is the LA in my heart! The fly in the ointment is that the male lead's casting is a bit flawed (please don't have any PI/strips that are so ugly boots in Jack Su's noir story). I guess Zhan Shen watched this film in the theater during his wandering years, and further developed his perverted style.

Chinatown quotes

  • Jake Gittes: Hello, Claude. Where'd you get the midget?

  • Lt. Escobar: You must really think I'm stupid, don't you, Gittes.

    Jake Gittes: I don't think about it that much, but gimme a day or two and I'll get back to yuh. Now I'd like to go home.

    Lt. Escobar: I want the other pictures, Gittes.

    Jake Gittes: What pictures?

    Lt. Escobar: THIS broad hired you, not Evelyn Mulwray.

    Jake Gittes: Yeah?

    Lt. Escobar: Yeah. Somebody wanted to shake Mulwray down; she hired you. That's how come you found out he was murdered.

    Jake Gittes: I heard it was an accident.

    Lt. Escobar: C'mon, Gittes. The hell d'you think you're dealing with? A bunch of assholes? Mulwray had salt water in his lungs. You were following him day and night; you SAW who killed him. You even took pictures of it. It was Evelyn Mulwray, and she's been payin' you off like a slot machine ever since.

    Jake Gittes: You accusin' me of extortion?

    Lt. Escobar: Absolutely!

    Jake Gittes: I don't think I need a day or two; you're dumber than you think I think y'are.
