    The standard genre film is the same as the textbook, with a clean and unhurried structure, and the steady and powerful rhythm is just right. The director's consummate skills, coupled with nicholson's characteristic performances, are destined to constitute such an immortal classic that is constantly worth savoring and chewing on every detail. Another soundtrack is also the highlight of the finishing...

    Brothers Polanski and Wachowski, two people who tell stories that can be complex and entertaining in parallel worlds. It seems that the drivers are all bulls, such as: Nowitzki....

    For the films that Robert McKee repeatedly mentioned in the book, the script is indeed a classic. Writing the script not only depends on talent, but also on technology. "She is my sister and my daughter", the climax came with great tension. Tucao about the slightly more typo...

    Polanski's films always feel tense and numb while watching, and give you a lot of reflection after watching them. This is also an immortal classic, comparable to textbooks. Subsequent films such as "L.A. Confidential" and "Shadow Writer" have similar arrangements for this film. When I read it, I felt that if it wasn't the original script, the original should be awesome enough. Sure enough, the best original screenplay in...

    How much I love Jack Nicholson, I just admire how such a man can make a neurotic big bad pervert from young to old... and so on. BTW, the screenwriter of this film is Robert Downey Jr's...

    Ten stars. The same sad saxophone reminds people of "Tax driver", but how can such a great work not be as famous as the latter? The seemingly sweet apple was bitten down layer by layer, and it turned out that the inner core had been worm-eaten, and it was unexpectedly shocked and decayed. This is Chinatown, where justice is not served. PS: The role of Fei Dunaway is so...

    A very Chandler-esque slow-heat black detective film, with elegant movement and dark enough reversal, but the climax is too scribbled. Polanski's pocket knife is pretty...

    I saw half of this movie before, and then it really dragged on long enough to watch it all over again. Now I have the mindset to calm down and watch this kind of movie. A little bit of peeling off the truth, but I didn't expect the ending to be like this. Things may really be as less as...

    Four and a half stars. It is said that the script is good, it is really intricate and complicated, and the process is tense and the ending is shocking, but all the previous layers of exposure to the shady government and business were finally diverted by the incest tragedy. Is it a failure? Nicholson played normally, and Fei Dunaway's performance was even more attractive, with the same ending as "The Male and Female Thief", but the temperament changed from sturdy and easy to tense and...

    "Chinatown"

    In the first scene, Katherine pretends to be Cross as Mrs. Morey and asks Jack, the private investigator to investigate Morey's extramarital affair. When Morey is speaking, the shepherd rushes into the auditorium with sheep and says that he stole the water from the valley. Jack in the dark night...

    Light a lamp for sin.

    Polanski talked about the ending of "Chinatown" in his memoirs:
    I insist that if this film is to be filmed in a certain style and to get rid of the common detective film's final hero immortality mode, Evelyn must die at the end of the film. . If the audience does not leave their seats angrily...

Chinatown quotes

  • Morty: [at the morgue] Jake, what're you doin' here?

    Jake Gittes: Nothin', Morty, it's my lunch hour, I thought I'd drop by and see who dropped dead lately.

  • Jake Gittes: Look, you sue me, your husband dies, you drop the lawsuit like a hot potato, and all of it quicker than wind from a duck's ass - excuse me. Then you ask me to lie to the police.

    Evelyn Mulwray: It wasn't much of a lie.

    Jake Gittes: If your husband was killed it was.
