Isn't this the perfect ending?

Sometimes I really envy those so-called "free" countries and nations, even if everything is impossible to have absolute freedom.

The sense of suspense that was created for most of the first half of the film was so pale at the last moment. No matter how hard you try, even if you don't care about your life, the demon that can't be defeated is terrible, but the soil where the demon grows and grows is truly terrible, just like when Jack finally watched Evelyn who died tragically in "Chinatown" Like muttering "as little as possible" to the "Chinatown" residents who turn one eye and close one eye to their crimes, and stare blankly ahead, how is that different from The Walking Dead? The plot of this noir film progresses smoothly, the various settings are reasonable, and the characters are very full. The sense of suspense is progressive, like peeling an onion. Through Jack's in-depth investigation, the onion is revealed piece by piece. There's not too much action, and it's not very brain-burning, but the ending is really good. Not just because the suspense finally disappeared, not just because of what happened to Evelyn, but also because of Evelyn's ending. This is so realistic! How can an ordinary civilian overthrow the rich, powerful, and powerful demons, even in today's well-developed Internet technology and news media? Relying on the uproar of some relationships in the media, the negative incidents of officials, nobles, and even companies have not been drowned in the torrent of time, which is embarrassing!

Jack does everything he can to solve the mystery and bring justice. When he finally solved the mystery, it wasn't the result he wanted. Evelyn wasn't a demon, her father was. Evelyn became the man Jack wanted to protect, and her father became the man Jack wanted to bring to justice. However, God's will is hard to resist, Evelyn was shot to death in "Chinatown" and the devil finally got free, Evelyn became another eternal pain in Jack's heart. Maybe Jack thought that if he left "Chinatown", he could start over and bury the pain in his heart. That night, Evelyn smiled and asked him if the previous woman died. Jack was silent. The silence was the truth. The devil may have already known Jack's investigation well, so he was not surprised when Jack told the truth, and even talked to Jack about the conditions. Why didn't the devil end Jack's investigation, because Jack had nothing to do with him, and his ultimate goal was to use Jack to find his second "daughter". The dark night like ink shrouded "Chinatown", the devil found his second "daughter" as he wished, and Jack was already heartbroken, and the investigation running around turned out to be the king's wedding dress. The reality is so, the truth is so, the ending should be so!

    I have always been looking forward to mastering the skills of making Nicholson’s seemingly harmless smiles that are actually in the bones.

    Replay. I actually like it better. The way it expands is especially Dennis Lehan, stumbles into a shadow that hides the purest evil in the world, and finally everything is accidental but also predestined early, can only walk into the broken night with jazz music, and live from now on Hopelessly, the cold abyss, licking the dry wound, looking back at the momentary warmth and sweetness in the memory. Hats off to you, Mr. Goldsmith, for such wonderful score.
