In the first act, Catherine pretends to be Cross as Mrs. Morey and asks the private investigator Jack to investigate Morey's extramarital affairs. During Morey's speech, the shepherd led the sheep into the auditorium and said that he was stealing the water from the valley. The perspective of Jack's telescope was very interesting.

Morey stands from day to night Jack’s car is full of boxes, he puts the watch under the wheel to take pictures of the extramarital affairs in the Echo Park apartment

Jack quarreled with Mrs. Morey because of "clean methods to make money" while shaving. Jack conducted an investigation privately. Jack used the deputy director's business card to see Morey. Then he used the deputy director's business card to enter the pool at Morey's home and gave it a close-up. But At that time, there was a very shortage of water. He did not pass cigarettes in front of Ai Road, but in front of Cross he passed cigarettes twice. Jack privately investigated and found that the water was released in the middle of the night and his nose was cut. Take the water to the Northwest Valley Morey thinks the water belongs to the public chief. Don’t think that the two fell out. Cross first chose to hide Elaine Jack’s coughing and tearing information. This is very interesting. Orange Lin driving. This section is also very interesting. The runaway light and shadow are beautiful, but Mrs. Morey is very calm and goes home. A close-up shot of the two characters’ dialogue. The expression of love through the eyes. Finally, there is a constant stopwatch when Cross leaves. Jack finds that Cross is “imprisoned” and Catherine is calling her when she leaves. The sense of distance for "Mrs. Morey" is expressed when looking for Shi Aida with the camera and the soundtrack. The horror when the flashlight shines through the gardener's sentence "salt water is harmful to the grass" to promote the development of the storyline. There is a lot of salt water in it, and finally found the ending

But when he saw his beloved woman die in Chinatown, Cross was shocked and sad. The person next to her said: This is Chinatown, let’s go, Cross, I’m doing it for you. A little bit

    By coincidence, I saw two masterpieces in 1974 in a row. As the title of Chinatown, it has not become a clue to the movie, and its scenes only appeared at the end of life and burst into climax. The textbook script of the long admiration of the name did not bring much shock. It was nothing more than an orderly questioning. It was the so-called Chinese essence: Sacrificing the individual to make the greater self, and not tolerating American heroes, was thoroughly analyzed. Good film, but not right.

    Four and a half stars. It is said that the script is good, it is really intricate and complicated, and the process is tense and the ending is shocking, but all the previous layers of exposure to the shady government and business were finally diverted by the incest tragedy. Is it a failure? Nicholson played normally, and Fei Dunaway's performance was even more attractive, with the same ending as "The Male and Female Thief", but the temperament changed from sturdy and easy to tense and fragile.

  • Jake Gittes: Evelyn, put that gun away. Let the police handle this.

    Evelyn Mulwray: He owns the police!
