After reading Chinatown, I finally thought that the woman would survive, but she still died. I felt a pity, and I felt very deeply, and my heart seemed to be blocked. In this world, there are still many unfair things. Many good people can't be like the ending of the movie. They can always defeat the bad people and live to the end. Just like that saying, good people don't live to the end. The woman in the film may have done something wrong, or deceived the male protagonist, but she is not guilty of death, but in the end she was targeted by a bullet. The moment she fell, my heart was like her daughter (sister) In the same way, she seemed to help me shout out the grief in my heart, and her despair made me even more uncomfortable. The male protagonist used to be a Chinatown policeman, and then he became a detective. In order to help investigate the case, a series of things he discovered later was like peeling an onion. Layer by layer, I discovered the truth. I thought it was only superficial, but in fact The truth is behind. This further shows that the problem cannot be seen through a single phenomenon, and the truth is always hidden in the details. The rhythm of the whole film is unhurried and unhurried, and the grasp is just right. Just when I was about to draw a conclusion, the next doubt appeared again, and I couldn't understand it until the end. It was very attractive, and people couldn't help but follow the rhythm. . The whole film feels like it revolves around water. The so-called reasoning is to magnify the details. The water in the pond appears in the first scene, but I haven't noticed it until I connect all the details in series, and then I find that everything is traceable. This is the mystery of this mystery film. Of course, there are political reasons behind this film. The last man behind the scenes in the film is actually the woman's father, who sacrifices the interests of others for his own sake. He is a veritable corrupt official who even acts against his father and his conscience. It's really unacceptable, and I can only say that it doesn't deserve it. After watching it at the end, I will still be glad that I was born in China. I have to admit that even though there are some unfairnesses, our country has safeguarded our rights, and our public servants are capable enough to do practical things for us. Thanks to the motherland, thanks to the Communist Party.
