Chinatown ~ is it a city outside the territory? Or an urban village?

Looking at the name, I don't understand why Polanski named the movie after that.

After watching the film, I have never been disappointed. Polanski's film, one counts as one, has never been perfunctory. This movie with an oddly named title, too.

A retired private detective in the police position: The actor is Jack Nicholson. He is really wide-ranging, salty and sweet. He has both the frightening temperament of Shining and the warm feeling of a warm man. There is also a little sexy taste. Weird actor.

The retired private detective in the police position, with his well-known skilled experience, smelled a different major case from an inconspicuous peach-colored incident, followed the clues, peeled the cocoon layer by layer, and explored the mystery. s answer.

Behind the answer is the cruel truth, the dark and airtight truth, Jack seems to want to tear a corner to reveal a little light, at least try it, and the result of his try: more miserable than the truth.

Will Jack regret it? If I didn't struggle to rescue the mother and daughter, maybe at least it wouldn't be so miserable, do as little as possible~

The breath of the film is not oppressive and dark, but is attracted by Jack's cleverness and the charming interpretation of the heroine, which is a very interesting reasoning process. The easier it is to follow the plot, the miserable and helpless ending is more chilling. The old boss took away his daughter's daughter, ah~~~, just like this, the power of darkness did not end because of the end of the film, but it has been deeply deposited in the viewer's heart, can't be dispersed, can't be driven away, you Knowing it's going to happen, but not being able to do anything about it at all.

Polanski, like a long knife, opened the illusion of this gorgeous world, and what we saw was such a distorted and unsightly appearance: the original appearance of the world.

At this moment, I understand why the movie uses the name "Chinatown", just like those noisy and messy urban-rural borders on the edge of our prosperous city, "o, jake, forget it, it's chinatown~" There are no rules or anything. What's the use of eggs~

    The suspenseful atmosphere advances layer by layer, reaching a climax at the end. Nicholson’s superb acting skills are impeccable. The place name Chinatown runs through the story of the movie and has become an important symbol for advancing the plot to attract audiences. When it emerges at the end At that time, it still did not eliminate the cloud of suspicion that hung over the audience. The relationship "She's my daughter and sister" is so perverted! PS: At that time thrush was popular?

    I saw half of this movie before, and then it really dragged on long enough to watch it all over again. Now I have the mindset to calm down and watch this kind of movie. A little bit of peeling off the truth, but I didn't expect the ending to be like this. Things may really be as less as possible.
