First of all, I have to say that I don't understand movies, detective novels, and even the driver of Poland, but I found his films to be an inescapable existence.
Every director who claims to love detective novels and themes has a Chinatown in his heart.
Nora, who couldn't run away; a servant who was arrogant; a detective who was well-dressed, contempt for justice, and a mystery; the ultimate boss who covered the sky with only one hand; covered up the characteristics of the crime that was greater than the design; inappropriate black humor; It's hard to survive all the elements of a detective movie.
First of all, the film spends a lot of ink to create the image of a detective: the male protagonist is serious and responsible to his employer, keeps his secrets about the past, and is easily angered by his former colleagues; pursues fame without concealing his love for money; all kinds of gentlemanly actions towards women involved; Do everything you can when investigating a case.
Taking the detective as the starting point, some contradictions between characters are drawn, and the whole picture of the case is gradually revealed. Due to the detective's perseverance in the case, the clues can be found.
Secondly, weaken the judicial system and only strengthen the maintenance of social order: law enforcement officers cannot provide effective information or provide any convenience for detection.
The absurdity and reality of the whole case are highlighted by the mutual dislocation of identity and responsibilities.
Third, the crime scene environment is repeatedly rendered, and the crime process is reproduced: the investigation process is mainly based on close-up tracking, and the timeline is reversed to find clues and correlations; the reasoning process is promoted by the confessions of the people involved, which weakens the detective’s subjective perspective.
Covering up is greater than designing, trying to shift attention to the background and situation of the people involved.
Finally, take risks: When a detective is involved in an incident and the investigation line of sight is disturbed many times, the detective's self-doubt will lead to wrong judgments, leading to a dead end of the case, and the detective's psychological transformation will be exposed with the investigation. The detective wakes up in time to take the initiative.
Settling the chaos in heart and behavior can make the detective's image plump and make sufficient preparations for the truth to be revealed.
The above is why the reasoning process in many detective films is unimportant, emotional entanglements occupy a certain amount of space, personal orientation is infinitely magnified, and the overall view is not very rigorous, which eventually leads to the collapse of the film.
All of you here can say that you are paying tribute to Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Conan Doyle Collins, Edogawa Ranbu, Matsumoto Kiyoshou Minamimura, Seiichi Higashino Keigo; Everyone in the movie actually only loves "Chinatown" - there are Chinese people in Chinatown - there are Chinese people in the show is not reasoning - any bizarre incident can happen in Chinatown and no one cares when it happens - no one cares Means to do whatever you want - do whatever you want to get the ultimate freedom - freedom is the best container to sublimate all themes: start with freedom and end with freedom
Every director who claims to love detective novels and subject matter has a Chinatown in his heart - at least there is this one - except for "Sherlock Holmes" - there is no sin in drawing comics
As little as possible. Both the insulted and the expelled keep us from staying out of the way, neither at peace nor away.
