In this gloomy society where as long as we have money, we can cover the sky with one hand. Is the only thing we can do to avoid and stay away? After reading Chinatown, this question made me ponder for a long time. In the process of watching the movie, how I hope the bad guys can get the sanctions they deserve, just like the usual suspense movies, to promote a happy ending, at least let the efforts made by Gites not fail. But the director and the society are often unsatisfactory, but it must be admitted that this is reality. At the end of the film, even if Gites found the truth, he still couldn't change the result. Elaine was forced to become the murderer, her father's scapegoat. Elaine is a woman full of tragic colors. If the ending can be changed, I sincerely hope that she can live for herself once and take Catherine to escape the world's disputes. And this was originally the future she wanted to achieve. In fact, the film revolves around the trajectory of Elaine’s life, from the death of her husband Morey, to her father’s conspiracy, to the relationship with Catherine, step by step, and tell us her tragic experience. . And since the ending is already doomed, is all the efforts made by Gites effective? In order to find the truth, he rushed around and even took risks. But the power of good at that time was not enough to fight the evil of society. And what the movie tells us is not only the dark social phenomenon of power supremacy and money supremacy and the tragic life of this woman, but also the male gaze of women and the gaze of Chinese in that era. So, under this gloomy and heavy sky, is the only thing we can do is escape?
