Geo 2022-03-18 09:01:02

I just checked the information. This movie may be one of the most important movies in the history of American cinema. Although the name is "Chinatown", almost many scenes did not take place in Chinatown. The whole movie looks like: in the early stage, It seems very boring and boring to watch, but the rhythm of the later period seems to have begun to tighten. It can be said that the film released in 1974 is still quite good, and it is directed by a true international film producer: Roman Polanski. After checking the information, I learned that the real event is also related to the film. In the film: Jack became a private detective and investigated the affair. It was discovered that Morales was a water conservancy engineer and had a dispute with local farmers. There were photos of Morales cheating. Morales real wife asked to stop the investigation. But Jack was determined to investigate. As a result, Morales drowned and died. Jack discovered a great truth during the investigation. It turned out that Morales wife’s father did it and bribed the police. The reason why Jack left was also Because of dissatisfaction with the dark "world" of the police station, he chose to leave and become a private investigator.

This movie also originated from real events, and the most important point is the script creation of the movie. Although the early stage was tasteless, the core and meticulous plot of the movie is the feature of this movie. The early stage is mainly based on the plot. In the middle stage, a series of characters and their relationships are introduced. In the later stage, the main theme is to reveal secrets and reveal the theme. The character portrays are very clear. The theme that the director wants to reveal is that the tone of the whole film is mainly dark, especially when the police and Noah appear on the scene, which implies the bribery relationship and power between the police.

In short, as the title, Diabloism exposes contemporary social reality, has a strong sense of atmosphere, and also implies social corruption.

    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.
