Chinatown evaluation action
2021-10-20 17:21
"Chinatown" is a classic of American film noir, with a complicated plot, a strong nostalgic atmosphere and the inherent suspenseful atmosphere of a detective film. Director Polanski infused the film with a cold and cold style, and the high-level script, directing, acting, photography and soundtrack all made the film exude a strong classic flavor.
The director showed a high level of directing in the first half of the film. Whether it is the main line or the side line, it looks like a mess, but the director sorted it out just right. Each incident will leave a clue, and the clue will lead to the truth of the next scene. The screenwriter sets various foreshadowings at the beginning of the film, and finally people can't help but sigh that every detail in the original film is so important. The film repositions the meaning and connotation of film noir, and both the lens arrangement and the plot setting give people a cruel sense of realism. In the film, Jack questioning Evelyn is very impressive. Anyone who has watched the film will remember Evelyn’s scream and shocking dialogue
