After the script

After many twists and turns, I finally finished the script. The sentence "This is Chinatown" is a powerful explanation of all the previous explanations, the bullets fired and the politicians with power. But in fact, I don't like watching movie scripts that much, and the nutrients given are not as high as drama scripts. I like this explanation, "their (Chinese) culture is too far from ours. Sometimes when we do something, we don't know whether we are stopping or assisting crime, so we just don't ask", also in film noir The essence of mystical atmosphere.

    America's unintelligible film of the 70s, film noir. Think of the WG who knew nothing about China in that era. There were such movies in the United States. Although due to cultural reasons, many places do not understand, but I like this black tone. I like this kind of plot against the power, although the power still wins in the end~

    I saw on HBO that Nicholson was still young in 1974, a private investigator. Suspense reveals shady and unknown past events. As a dark metaphor, Chinatown leads directly to the tragic ending of the story. Dam incidents, criminal incidents, political conspiracies, and family ethics are all linked together, with weak reasoning and weak movements, but the metal soundtrack in the 1970s created a unique sense of tension and enhanced the pleasure of watching movies.
