Chinatown

"Forget it Jake, it's chinatown." In Chinatown, justice can't be done, and the truth can't be announced. The director presents everything to the moviegoers, but the audience can't do anything, leaving them full of resentment and regret. The movie is very good, but the greatest thing is the script. A few words and one scene can show the characters' characters vividly, and at the same time, the plot is also promoted. The basic questions that the audience can think of can be reasonably answered in the play, and there are no flaws. It is especially reflected in the lines, the language of life, like we usually speak, without saying anything, but the subtext enriches the imagination.
