'Chinatown' analysis (1974)--The film's symbolism
'Chinatown' analysis (1974)--The film's symbolism finally explained.
Chinatown is a 1974 mystery thriller that is based on a series of political conflicts involving ranchers and farmers in the Owens Valley of eastern California and the City of Los Angeles at the turn of the 20th century. In the film, the Chief of the Los Angeles Water Department is killed as part of a political cover-up connected to a drought and water being secretly dumped into the ocean to force a referendum on a bond measure to build a dam that would give 1 man control of all the water in Los Angeles. Nominated for 11 Academy awards and winning Best Screenplay for Robert Towne, Chinatown is produced by Robert Evans, distributed by Paramount Pictures, and directed by Roman Polanski--his last film in the United States. The Cinematography is by John A. Alonzo, the editing is by Sam O’ Steen, and the music is by Jerry Goldsmith. The film stars Jack Nicholson as Private Detective Jake Gittes, Faye Dunaway as Evelyn Mulwray, John Huston as Noah Cross, Perry Lopez as Lou Escobar, Burt Young as Curly, and the director, Roman Polanski, in a small cameo. In this presentation, I will summarize Chinatown’s plot, explore the film’s major themes, and I will offer my overall thoughts on the film.
