Chinatown

This movie, as well as the three billboards, is a category that I haven't been able to type for nearly two months this year. From yesterday to today, I've been pretending to think about things, but what I'm thinking about is why I don't want to write a word. .

Three billboards I can't write because it's perfect in my mind. I don't deserve to make irresponsible remarks about what I have in my stomach at the moment. I am very optimistic about winning the best original screenplay. I can't write this because I really don't know how to evaluate it and learn it. Maybe this is another kind of perfection.

The beginning is particularly appealing, but later you will find that what appeals to you has nothing to do with the facts. The matter of pretending to be a wife to find a mistress was originally a personal life, but later involved people's livelihood and followed up with politics. Nicholson's both righteous and evil face made people feel that if there was a slight deviation, he would give up this matter. So my eyes don't know who to follow, but the curiosity in my heart keeps me wanting to know the facts. I don't know how to shape this character's character. I don't know if the male protagonist is righteous or evil, or as the film critics say, is he a righteous man with a secular world? A heartbroken justice? Some people say that this director is called the golden ending ten minutes, I really haven't seen much of his other works, and I am convinced at the end of this story. That shot made the person who was about to be freed die, the daughter who wanted to escape from the clutches was brought back into the clutches, and the powerful villain controlled all of this without any waves. The Chinese people in Chinatown looked sluggish. , like a marionette, like today's Chinese, except for onlookers, there is no other idea and expression. Justice cannot be heard, and power makes people desperate. This is a story that the director insists on changing with a tragic ending, and it is precisely because of its ending that this film is made. This has also left Chinatown with a particularly weak and dark mark in the eyes of the world, not only Chinatown, but even the entire country.

However, the actual events the script is based on are too huge and complex. Choosing the entry point as an extramarital affair is the finishing touch. It is the screenwriter's talent to show the screenwriter's ability to extract the details from the events and integrate them into a concise and comprehensive story.

    The first half was too slow. I was sitting on the bed watching it. The opponent said to Jack that people can do anything at the right time and in the right place. Angry but powerless, this is the normal state of the movie and reality. Three years later, when Polanski seduced a 13-year-old girl, he himself became the omnipotent villain, and he also escaped legal sanctions—the critics became the objects of his criticism. It has to be said that Polanski's film changes or predicts his fate, which is very terrifying and mysterious.

    Polanski movies are a bit abusive, but a good movie is a good movie. Nicholson caused Lao Tzu to pay for his life and Dunaway died unexpectedly during his lifetime. The most frightening thing is the innocence of murder in Chinatown.

    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.
