The male protagonist played by Jack Nicholson was slashed on the nose by the underworld. He felt pain across the screen. It was not hypocritical, because my nose was swollen due to bacterial infection in the past two days. A little empathy. This is a film made in the 1970s that reflects American society in the 1930s. Los Angeles, a city that likes crime and criminals very much in film and television works, so much that I think of this city as soon as I see American police and gangster films. Detective Hunter? The first understanding of American cities when I was a child came from this series. Except for the classic mantra "God's arrangement", Officer Hunt would sometimes buy a hamburger or sandwich to eat in the car when he was handling a case. At that time, he felt so tall. Come on, when can I taste this "Western food"? The story of this "Chinatown" took place in Los Angeles earlier. The male protagonist Jack's hairstyle is a bit similar to Hunter's. He was bald early. It can be seen that handling the case is indeed a bad thing. The male protagonist used to be a policeman. , later resigned to become a private detective, and his main business was investigating the derailment of a gentleman, tracking a mistress or something. As the plot deepened, we learned that the reason why he did not become a police officer may be that the original professional environment was not good, because of his personality. I can't keep a foothold, but even though I've jumped out of the system, it's so hard to stay away from right and wrong! In a strange way, the original investigation of an extramarital affair ended in a fatal accident, but it actually involved a major water case that affected the entire Los Angeles. White and underworld attacked. Although the male protagonist is getting closer and closer to the truth during the investigation process, he is getting deeper and deeper. , Leng is entangled with the key figures in the whirlpool of events, and eventually changed from a bystander to an authority. More than half of the audience of this film may not understand why the title is called "Chinatown". It was not until the final climax of the film that the scene came to Chinatown in Los Angeles, where the lights are feasting and the light is dark. The hero used to be a policeman. Sadly at the time, now fate has dragged him here again. He wanted to stay away from the rivers and lakes, but he was destined to escape, and he couldn't leave. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and Chinatown is his destiny. Judging historical figures with the eyes of modern people is often not objective. Similarly, when judging the quality of a movie, you should set your vision to the era as much as possible. The films of the 1970s have no sense, and I am not surprised by the direction of the story, especially the design of the ending. That may be because you have a lot of knowledge, read countless films, and have seen too many brain-burning films in recent years. film and reversal film. As a suspense film, this "Chinatown" has complicated The case is the background, and the protagonist's perseverance in seeking the truth has been carried out from beginning to end, which is enough to stimulate your curiosity; as a realistic theme or a critical reality theme, it is obvious that the film has reached a certain depth of thought, especially the dark and tragic ending is arranged at the end. It challenged the audience's viewing emotions, but it was not abrupt, and played a role in sublimation. I also thought of last year's popular "Parasite". You can say that the two have no similarities in the design of the ending. ? This is the skill of a master director. To put a tragic ending to a crime film or a suspense film, it is not only in line with realistic logic, but also can sublimate the theme. How different and different it was half a century ago. Invaluable. The master director is Roman Polanski, not much to say. There must be Jack Nicholson's nose who can't erase the impression. You must have seen the face on the poster if you haven't seen "The Shining". A decent character conveys sympathy and sigh to you, and playing a villain makes you feel chills down your spine and chills in your heart, and you will never forget it.
