It’s better to do nothing than to do nothing, the less the better it becomes Jack’s nightmare.
Chinatown is a metaphor where darkness is stronger than justice. If you want to survive peacefully, you must learn to keep one eye open
Many years ago Jack was a young policeman with a sense of justice, but his sense of justice in Chinatown became his disaster.
She tried so hard to protect a woman but ended up harming this woman
From then on, he left Chinatown and left this dark and sad place and opened a private detective to investigate some extramarital affairs all day long to make a living. He also became cynical. He buried his sincerity deeply in the past and faced the world with a hippie smile.
As a result, he lied to others but couldn’t lie to himself. No matter how much he suppressed his inner sense of justice, he still couldn’t extinguish the accident. After he was involved in a conspiracy, he could have escaped, but he got deeper and deeper.
Fateful history repeats itself again
He fell in love with a poor woman
At first I approached this woman because of suspicion
Later, I suspected that the two people would show off their mutual love
Then I was wise to doubt this woman again and almost identified her as the murderer
Finally, after I finally understand all the dark truths, I know how pitiful this woman is
He desperately wanted to help the woman escape. He failed once before. This time he must succeed, so he is willing to pay any price.
But the sad thing is that the woman died in the end
Justice finally lost to the darkness in Chinatown
It is true that Polanski’s hippie smile is behind the pessimism in the bones, but it does not make people desperate. In the heavy sorrow and regret, people desire beauty and perfection even more.
Therefore, to show the darkness is to call the light
