- Jeremiah2026年6月15日Basically an almost perfect neo noir minus the black and white stylings. For all it does right, I do find its visual style rather lacking. It still looks great just not particularly stylistic in ways that are ones go-to thoughts of noir. Story is great. You follow along with our protagonist and learn things as he does. Almost like we’re solving it one step at a time with him. It’s complicated enough not to be boring and simple enough not to get lost. with some nice reveals that keep you hanging on till the literal last scene. Jack Nicholson is effortlessly cool, flawed and interesting character. Glad to check this classic off the list.

Every major city has a geographically distinct, alien, bustling, simmering and chaotic Chinatown where those who belong - the assimilated, the ones from the proverbial all-American, culturally sanitized suburbs go to spend tourist time on Sundays or date nights to sample the exotic food, the culture and the chaos, bringing home whatever local color they didn't absorb on their sojourn into take-out containers. Whatever nefarious behaviors go on there happen because it's "only Chinatown." Murder, mayhem, drug-deals, opium dens, graft and gambling...the bleak underbelly stuff of a non-assimilated culture left to their own justice by the mainstream...the police put these in the unsolved file. Jake Gittes - played by Jack Nicholson - is a born hero, who wants to wear a white hat but a corrupt police dept. won't let him so he becomes a PI in order to have some integrity, even if he becomes a snoop for jealous spouses. Fueling the infamous Los Angeles water wars, the impresario of graft - Noah Cross, a composite of real-life entrepreneur Mulholland and others guilty of robbing the city blind to feather their own bankbooks - also thinks he can bypass the fundamental laws of nature to groom his own daughter and grand daughter for self-gratifying incestuous relationships. Faye Dunaway plays the hapless heroine Evelyn who married Cross' kind business party Hollis Mulwray to escape her father's clutches and when her husband, the Water Commissioner is killed because of ethical conflicts with Cross over diversion of water from the desert to Cross' lands to enhance his wealth, it sets off a hunt by police as to who did it. Enter Jake Gittes, conned by a fake Evelyn Mulwray planted by Cross into investigating where all the water is going. The plot all climaxes in a torrent of bullets and screams and blood in Chinatown, where crime gets buried as the price of living in the undesirable leftover parts of LA. The police execute manslaughter for Cross who owns them and Dunaway's heroine, trying to escape with her daughter born of her own father, takes the hit. A brilliant, haunting film-noir score by Jerry Goldsmith and poignant artwork on the movie poster capture the pathos of a script written by Robert Towne, a 70s wunderkind (who along with producer Bob Evans was so instrumental in Paramount's renaissance, thanks to the Godfather 1 and 2). This Los Angeles is a burgeoning, flourishing America, a dream of what some people could have that once was but always is as we live in it today...where the good guys give up while the bad guys destroy beauty and innocence to satisfy their own greed and narcissism. The bones of contention today aren't the orange and lemon groves and vineyards and lettuce, strawberry, almond and avocado fields that yield billions in profit, but instead the computers and high tech and environmental and transportation boondoggles. That cuts across the board to all cultures, not just the Anglos. Maybe that's why Chinatown is timeless -because greed is.
- makdelart2026年3月19日The film lacks flashy spectacle, but it features a rather complex plot, a convoluted mystery, a distinctive detective character, crimes, corruption and a femme fatale – all typical hallmarks of film noir. On top of that, there’s an unexpected twist and a dramatic conclusion. Jerry Goldsmith’s beautiful score also adds to the atmosphere. A masterful film by Polanski, further enhanced by his own memorable cameo appearance.
