To find out the truth, one person is enough; to achieve justice, the whole society needs to participate.
It is regarded as a necessary "research" script for the drama school. "Chinatown" is perfect. Many people watch this film, perhaps because of its fame, perhaps to complete their homework. .
First of all, the picture of the movie has a strong sense of age, and the male protagonist is not a fresh face, plus the slow development of the plot, some people give up after watching the beginning. Here I would like to comfort - it's okay to give up. Personally, I think this script is very rigorous and professional, and even not so "friendly" to us laymen. It is almost a movie template, specially designed for professionals to communicate and learn.
But fortunately, professionals may need to spend a lot of time researching characters, plot conflicts, plot development, problem background, etc., we just need to understand it according to our own ideas.
At first, I was confused about what the film had to do with Chinatown. I frowned and watched. No matter what Chinatown means, at least this is a detective film. Let me see who the villain is at the end. When the male protagonist slowly found out the truth of the matter, thinking that the story was about to end, he made a joke with us at the end - knowing the truth is just futile, the bad guys are still alive and well, and the justice doesn't know where.
In fact, this is not a joke. Most movies give us the feeling that truth equals justice. In fact, truth is a powerful weapon. Only when someone uses it to defeat evil can it be called justice, and the process of defeating evil is sometimes more difficult than finding out the truth. One hundred and eight thousand miles.
It is difficult for several reasons. Maybe no one knows the truth, maybe the power of the righteous side is too small, or maybe some people turn a blind eye to the truth and watch other people's heinous but indifferent.
So I understand that "Chinatown" refers to the third type of people above, the deputy minister of the Water Bureau, the police officers, and the last group of onlookers.
But not everyone is the third type of person, maybe someone will continue to expose, maybe the bad guys can kill each other, welcome to make up your own mind~
If you are still angry, think of Qin Hui...
