Chinatown

if one looks historically at New york and California the title Chinatown goes perfectly with the movie.Chinatown has always been a shady place, be it opium in the 60’s, crack in the late 80’s, to the underground poker games or the bootleg purses that are being sold in rooms behind the visible walls for a fourth of market price. The movie in a way was like that as well. A small investigation job turns into a giant game of battleship. never knowing where your enemy may be, searching but rarely landing a hit.

The movie came out when society was changing. it was a clash of old school vs new school, with a side serving of filth. i feel as if this movie captured a time in history. The way it portrayed the corruption and crime that was going on. The manipulation of money, and even the sexual relationships that were going on. That era was when the term “uncle daddy brother” could have applied, as portrayed by one of the films many antagonist.

 

just makes you think, what kind of movies are going to come out that portray our current point in history?
