	Review: Chinatown
		Chinatown is unquestionably one of the best films to emerge from the 1970s, a period that has been called the "last great decade of American cinema" by more than one movie critic.
		Chinatown requires that the viewer pay attention, not because there are lots of twists, but because the plot is complex and doesn't stop every ten minutes to bring slower audience members up to speed.
		Chinatown proved once and for all that a noir film does not have to be in fl-and-white.

	DVDFILE.COM: Chinatown review
		Chinatown is an unqualified classic, and the kind of movie that probably would be compromised if someone were to make it today.
		Chinatown is gorgeously directed, with stylish photography that is marvelously low-key with full compositions that use the entire width of the CinemaScope frame as well as offering fantastic depth of foreground and background.
		Chinatown has a remastered Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack as well as a restored version of the original English mono soundtrack (a separate French mono track is also provided).

	Chinatown (1974)
		Chinatown is a fine film that used the traditional film noir techniques to excellent effect.
		The movie follows private detective Jake Gittes (Jack Nicholson) after a wife hires him to confirm that her husband is cheating on her.
		Chinatown's 5.1 soundtrack offers the best of both worlds; it seemed to retain the "feel" of the original mix but it added depth and breadth to the audio that helped bring it to life.

	sfweekly.com - News - Chinatown Ghost Story
		When movies came to Chinatown more than 50 years ago, the neighborhood was like a village -- residents rarely left the area, and they spent most of their work and scarce leisure time within those eight or nine blocks.
		The few movies that were made in China were unavailable to overseas audiences, because the war had stopped the movement of people and goods across the Pacific.
		The kung fu movies of the 1970s and the rebirth of Hong Kong films in the early 1980s brought brief periods of renaissance to the Chinese theaters, but not enough of a rebirth to sustain business.

		Actually, since Chinatown is not in fl and white, the photography in the film, uses a lot of dark brown colors.
		Chinatown is wider in context and concerns more issues and is much more personal, and reflects the world of Roman Polansky.
		In Chinatown this is even more apparent: Jake tells Eveline that he used to work in Chinatown, and tried to save this girl, but only drove her to hear death.

		Chinatown opens in the office of private eye J.J. Gittes (Jack Nicholson) where Curly (Burt Young) is weeping and examining photographs of his wife engaged in coitus with another man. He tosses the photos over his shoulder and collapses against the Venetian blinds.
		Roman Polanski's "Chinatown" (1974) integrates moral despair with classic, and bankable, Hollywood elements--an atmospheric setting, a likable hero, a lady in distress, romance, suspense, and direct narrative and cinematic allusions to the Raymond Chandler crime movies of the forties.
		In "Chinatown", water is used for recreation; it is also a weapon (The Water Commissioner is drowned in a pond, Gittes is almost swept under in a drainage gulley); but in the film's strongest indictment of capitalism, water--a primary element of nature--becomes a viable currency, to be hoarded, diverted and controlled for private interest.

	Kung fu is back on the big screen in Chinatown - The Boston Globe
		After Chinatown's residents finished work at the factories and restaurants, children were fed and scrubbed clean and families went to the movie houses, centers of the neighborhood's social life.
		The kung fu movies were the most popular, she said, and the comedies.
		Chinatown's longtime Chinese population had been gradually shrinking, as people grew wealthier and moved to Brookline or Quincy, and others were pushed out by development.

		Generations of fans, however, have long since recognized that "Chinatown" is a milestone in the history of the film noir and in the professional history of its participants, and one of Hollywood's finest hours.
		Chinatown shows up in the Top Five all-time films of so many people, it's probably difficult to say what it is exactly that people find so wonderful about it.
		This is one of those movies where the actors seem to believe that they themselves are in another time and place and that they are actually the characters they are portraying.

		Movie experts have named the 50 films you should see before you die.
		I've seen Chinatown a dozen times, and while it's a great movie, two specific things about it stick in my mind: Jack Nicholson's bandaged nose and the final line of dialogue.

	Chinatown (1974)
		Chinatown (1974) is a superb, private eye mystery and modern-day film noir thriller.
		It reminds viewers that the days of abundant natural resources (and life-giving water that turns a forbidden wilderness into a plentiful garden) are past - the land has become barren due to the selfish manipulations of rich and powerful businessmen.
		In the rear of the palatial house is a fish pond and fountain - a strange anomaly in the midst of a drought.

		As the price of a movie ticket rises, movie-watching often becomes a question of: “Is it a renter?” The questions of what makes a movie “a renter” may be only an expression of the viewer’s opinion that the quality of the movie does not warrant the price of a movie ticket.

	Entertainment Weekly -- Movie Contest: Chinatown -- 12-30-99
		What sets ''Chinatown'' apart is the sheer magnitude of Polanski's vision and the power with which it is conveyed on screen.
		''Chinatown'' is one of the few films that is as rich and complex as a great novel.
		Indeed, ''Chinatown'''s rich imagery is part of Polanski's larger project: to deconstruct the distinctly American myth of the hard-boiled detective and to replace it with the classic European myths found in ''La Mort D'Arthur.''

	Chinatown Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Chinatown is that rare instance when everything comes together and the end result, without hyperbole, can be described as a masterpiece.
		Chinatown may be a noir, but John A. Alonzo's stunning cinematography makes the most of sun-drenched California vistas (a strategy employed to similar effect more recently in L.A. Confidential).
		Though short, this featurette is fascinating, with all three men adding valuable insights into the making of the film, such as Towne's revelation that his original inspiration was a former Chinatown vice cop or Polanski's admission that he meant for the film to recall Raymond Chandler's knight errant, private eye Philip Marlowe.

		He has his own strange code of ethics (it's okay to profit from adultery, etc.) but finds himself violating this as he lets down his guard with Dunaway.
		He even spends almost one-third of the film wearing a giant bandage on his nose, after Polanski himself slices it up, to exemplify the fact that he isn't an untouachable movie hero.
		CHINATOWN is one of those rare crime movies that doesn't overexplain each one of its plot elements so that it won't confuse even the most idiotic moviegoers.

	Chinatown - Movie Review
		Jack Nicholson is probably one of the few men who can go through the bulk of a film with a ridiculous plaster strapped across his nose and dressed like a cross between Gareth Gates and The Man From Del Monte, and still come out of it with his credibility in tact.
		Nicholson is Jake Gittes, the quick-witted hard-boilled P.I. who ends up in well over his head when he becomes embroiled in a scheming businessman's dastardly plot to make himself some big bucks by drying out the San Fernando valley.
		I saw Chinatown in it's first release in a movie theater and it was then, as it is now on video or television, never less than fascinating and gripping from beginning to end.
