"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  .

    Polanski's best films, from scripts, lines, characters to directors, are all excellent, they are truly immortal classics.

    By coincidence, I saw two masterpieces in 1974 in a row. As the title of Chinatown, it has not become a clue to the movie, and its scenes only appeared at the end of life and burst into climax. The textbook script of the long admiration of the name did not bring much shock. It was nothing more than an orderly questioning. It was the so-called Chinese essence: Sacrificing the individual to make the greater self, and not tolerating American heroes, was thoroughly analyzed. Good film, but not right.

Chinatown quotes

  • Jake Gittes: So there's this guy Walsh, do you understand? He's tired of screwin' his wife... So his friend says to him, "Hey, why don't you do it like the Chinese do?" So he says, "How do the Chinese do it?" And the guy says, "Well, the Chinese, first they screw a little bit, then they stop, then they go and read a little Confucius, come back, screw a little bit more, then they stop again, go and they screw a little bit... then they go back and they screw a little bit more and then they go out and they contemplate the moon or something like that. Makes it more exciting." So now, the guy goes home and he starts screwin' his own wife, see. So he screws her for a little bit and then he stops, and he goes out of the room and reads Life Magazine. Then he goes back in, he starts screwin' again. He says, "Excuse me for a minute, honey." He goes out and he smokes a cigarette. Now his wife is gettin' sore as hell. He comes back in the room, he starts screwin' again. He gets up to start to leave again to go look at the moon. She looks at him and says, "Hey, what's the matter with ya? You're screwin' just like a Chinaman!"
