CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Jake (Jack Nicholson) tells a crude joke to his partners, unaware of his larger audience.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
"You may think you know what you're dealing with, but believe me, you don't," warns water baron Noah Cross (John Huston), when smooth cop-turned-private eye J.J. "Jake" Gittes (Jack Nicholson) starts nosing around Cross's water diversion scheme. That proves to be the ominous lesson of Chinatown, Roman Polanski's critically lauded 1974 revision of 1940s film noir detective movies. In 1930s Los Angeles, "matrimonial work" specialist Gittes is hired by Evelyn Mulwray (Faye Dunaway) to tail her husband, Water Department engineer Hollis Mulwray (Darrell Zwerling). Gittes photographs him in the company of a young blonde and figures the case is closed, only to discover that the real Mrs. Mulwray had nothing to do with hiring Gittes in the first place. When Hollis turns up dead, Gittes decides to investigate further, encountering a shady old-age home, corrupt bureaucrats, angry orange farmers, and a nostril-slicing thug (Polanski) along the way. By the time he confronts Cross, Evelyn's father and Mulwray's former business partner, Jake thinks he knows everything, but an even more sordid truth awaits him. When circumstances force Jake to return to his old beat in Chinatown, he realizes just how impotent he is against the wealthy, depraved Cross. "Forget it, Jake," his old partner tells him. "It's Chinatown." Reworking the somber underpinnings of detective noir along more pessimistic lines, Polanski and screenwriter Robert Towne convey a '70s-inflected critique of capitalist and bureaucratic malevolence in a carefully detailed period piece harkening back to the genre's roots in the 1930s and '40s. Gittes always has a smart comeback like Humphrey Bogart's Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe, but the corruption Gittes finds is too deep for one man to stop. Other noir revisions, such as Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye (1973) and Arthur Penn's Night Moves (1975), also centered on the detective's inefficacy in an uncertain '70s world, but Chinatown's period sheen renders this dilemma at once contemporary and timeless, pointing to larger implications about the effects of corporate rapaciousness on individuals. Polanski and Towne clashed over Chinatown's ending; Polanski won the fight, but Towne won the Oscar for Best Screenplay. Chinatown was nominated for ten other Oscars, including Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Cinematography, Art Direction, Costumes, and Score.

This scene perfectly reflects the entire movie--Jake never sees what's really going on.
Interesting! I never thought of that symbolism
a very good point
🎯 Damn, you're good.
@@toniocartonio9722 Does he mean as far as what's going on with the girl (Faye Dunaway's character) and her father? (I haven't seen the movie in a long time)
@@brynne77 all the movie long he is like in a Limbo where he does not understand clearly what is going on roudn him
I love how excited Jake is when he comes in.
He probably ran all the way from the barber's so he could tell the guys.
That laugh is so perfect.
Its jocker
He knew she was there.
@@NormAppleton off course
Precursor to his Joker
hahahahahaha
I told this joke to a few people at work. I got a call from HR the following day, fml.
What is HR
@@georgeguja6390
Human Resources
And what happened??
A good joke is all about timing. You and Jake had the same problem. Bad timing.
This scene is many of the greats with Jack
I could watch this scene all day long. Polanski and Nicholson, wow!
Same here... odd
You definitely need to get a job
Robert Towne…
So overrated
bro
1:18 that Joker laugh
jack played a good Joker in 89
cHriiSzbEe you nailed it!
Kenny and dolly music video
1:16
cHriiSzbEe Jack Nicholson was born to play the Joker.. His hair, his grin, his laugh and his mannerisms in general just make him perfect for the role
The guy with the glasses in 01:26 gives the punch. His tiny gesture does it all.
yes, exactly. his expression makes the scene that much better
One of the very original "Oh shit, they're right behind me, huh?" moments. Don't forget this movie Jake, it's Chinatown.
(Later in the movie) "Do you accept persons of the Jewish persuasion?" "I'm sorry, but we don't." "Don't be sorry, neither does Dad!"
Charliecomet82 that’s exactly what I’d hope you’d say
Based.
Nicholson's laugh just makes this scene iconic
0:49 where he sort of slightly senses someone behind him but keeps going. SLAYS me.
For a movie that’s anything but a comedy, it sure has some very funny moments.
The joke is lame itself, but his laugh and the situation is hilarious :)
Exactly!!!
@Walter White In as much as there is any humor in the joke at all it comes from and is supposed to come from the lack of sense or absurdity of the punchline from the wife.
It's a fantastic joke! I've said to people like 3 times, it's a classic! All about the delivery!
That’s why he’s Joker
It's a classic shaggy dog story
Does anyone else hear a second laugher when Jake breaks out with his own laugh?
Omg yes
1:16 Jack is not yet Joker at that time but he managed to pull off his laugh and the lame joke.
This is pretty much my timing with humor. Especially when an attractive woman is right behind me.
your gay boyfriend doesn't count as a woman
Male-friend-one to Male-friend-two, "I have a very filthy joke I would like to tell you but there's a lady present." Male-friend-two to Male-friend-one, "Oh go ahead. She's probably filthy anyway."
This laugh is very much like his "a bit slow tonight isnt it" laugh from the shining at the bar
Init
1:16 - epic Nicholson laugh, which would be used later in an epic Batman movie.
He does a similar laugh while sitting at the bar in the Shining
There's a great line at the end of this scene. Jake tells Evelyn that he doesn't have to get tough with him. She then replies "I don't get tough with anyone, Mr. Gittes----my lawyer does!" The man behind her with the glasses then hands Jake a summons for a libel suit.
Greatest film ever made.
gtown gtown Definitely up there
Absolutely bro. I love every second of this film.
The only thing I don’t like about Chinatown is that it inspired The Two Jakes.
Top ten for sure.
I'm a little bit worried about my life.
Faye Dunaway's lack of reaction is wonderful.
I genuinely love this scene.
There will never be anyone like him on screen again
Yes, Jack Nicholson is among a tiny group of truly legendary, uniquely unmatched contemporary big screen stars, the like of which will never be seen again. I'm trying to think of another giant on his level, and can only come up with Robert De Niro.
He's been in some stinkers too. Certainly peaked in his early days. For me the shining is his best acting role he's just pure evil 😈 those eyebrows look like he borrowed them off the devil. Not seen this movie for decades so I will have to revisit it I can't honestly remember it but it looks top draw.
@@stevenlupanko2983 It's surprising how many good movies Nicholson made - even films in which he only had a cameo role, like 'Reds' and 'The Last Tycoon'. Superb actor - totally unique and unforgettable.
@@glamdolly30 I just remembered one flew over the cuckoos nest and that's brilliant. Deniro in Cape fear is probably the most haunting role I have ever seen a actor play it has the tension of silence of the lambs or misery. I'm not a horror fan as such but these are exceptions. I also really like on golden pond I think Henry and Jane fonda are superb in that. Been watching loads of movies lately from the big sleep to dumb superheros flying around in tights. I find a quite a few good films in all genres, planet terror is one of my favourites. I'm the same in a cake shop I try them all.
@@stevenlupanko2983 Oh yes I totally agree, 'Cuckoos Nest' is a brilliant movie, and no one could have played Randle MacMurphy better than Nicholson. He was hilarious in it - and the ending is just heartbreaking.
De Niro was terrifying in 'Cape Fear', I found it on RUclips recently and watched it again - scary movie! Haven't seen 'Planet Terror' can you tell me more?
I feel like every woman understands the look on Faye Dunaway's face deep in her soul
Women don’t understand humor
Not ALL women. Some of us like raunchy humor. Quite a few comediennes are and Bette Midler built her career on it.
@@shastaevangeline203 and I'm definitely one of those women. I meant more like men telling jokes that aren't super funny and then laughing at their own jokes, like Jake here.
The cough is everything
Smokers cough lol
one of my favourite scene in the whole film
Writer Towne write one of best screenplay really a work of art
Greatest Acting from Nicholson' !
Joker laugh at at 1:15
+Archangel the Stylish Nailed it :)
Archangel the Stylish He was born to play the Joker.
That epic laugh in the end made this scene
Best scene from the movie. Classic.
She's my daugther, she's my sister,"slap", she's my daugther, she's my sister SLAP
Shocking, very shocking!
1:16 And that’s what I call the Nicholson laugh.
I saw this movie as part of a double bill (with The New Centurions). I was 11 years old and didn't understand two minutes of it. Years later I watched it with a running commentary and finally clued in a little bit.
I want to awkwardly watch this movie with my Chinese teacher
1:15 the moment when Tim Burton decided who would play the joker
Jaja pero si fue 15 años después batman
That laugh, tho lool
I don't know which would make a better remake - Groucho Marx and Margaret Dumont in Chinatown or Nicholosn and Dunaway in Chinatown
Classic scene....What a great actor..
Am I the only one who thinks a young Jack Nicholson reminds me of Leonardo DiCaprio
the only other movie joke delivery anywhere near as great as this is tarantino's "pissing on the bartender's face" joke in Desperado
Back when the term screw was just as bad as the f word
Not 1974 when the movie was released but the 1940s when the movie takes place.
@@BrendanJSmith The film takes place in 1937.
how is a 1970s audience supposed to know that? Wouldn't F have made more sense?
@@phelps12471 when does the two Jake’s take place Then
You said screw, hehhehhehhehhe!!
"they read confucious" lol
I wonder what would happen if someone actually tried to do that.
I love the scene right before this one:
Jake is at the barbers and gets into a confrontation with someone who claims that he is exploring people because of a new story he printed in the paper (not knowing at the time that the story involving Mr Mulwray was false). The barber tries to call him down with this raunchy joke and that’s what leads to this scene
One minute jake is fuming, the next, he is giddy and grinning from ear to ear ready to retell the joke to the next person 😂🤚
0:42 Jack looks straight into the camera.
Chinatown was mentioned in Robert McKee's Story (book)
Great film
One of the themes in movie is sight _ when he looks in her eye , spectacles and camera
Chinatown is as nearly a perfect film noir as has ever been made, right up there with The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep.
True, and you can even leave out the word 'noir' and it is still true.
His reaction when he came to know someone was behind
Isn't that Crispin Glover's father? I think he also plays a henchmen in a bond film.
Yep, Bruce Glover. He played Mr. Wint in "Diamonds are Forever" (1971).
He was also in walking tall with joe don Baker the year before chinatown was made
@@thegreatdominion949 "She did want some pictures of the canals for the children."
"How thoughtful of you, Mr. Kidd."
@@williamshaw9047 "The children will be so THRILLED!"
XD
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! IT'S THE JOKER! RUN!!!!!
Sophie might as well stayed in the room and heard the China Man joke.
Every time I see this I'm afraid I might have to call 911!
Lol!!
This scene in the movie is hilarious!
1:15 that laugh
One guy is sweating bullets while the other guy is trying to play along.
That "Jesus" was perfect 😂
Bellissima scena da un bellissimo e struggente film
Ground breaking Off the wall unhinged charisma acting
forget it Jake, it's Chinatown!"
Still have never se3n this movie. I’m 54....seen THE GODFATHER 1 & 2 and SCARFACE n GOODFELLAS over 20 times
0:42 Jack looking into camera!
I dont get it i just laughed cause jack nicholson laughed
Notice how he asks the girl to leave before telling the dirty joke 😏
I got the joke 😂😂😂😂
On the contrary, that’s why he’s a private investigator, fighting through the lies, corruption and depravity, to find OUT what’s going on. He’s dogged, and does. That’s the overriding theme of the film. That and, of course, the lows to which human behavior “…is capable of…”
Thanks for breaking it down justJunya. Had you not "lifted the hood" for us...
Lmao!!!!!!
How come you don’t post anymore?
0:46 they’re right behind me, aren’t they?
1:16
Tbh it was a pretty good joke
Sage & Sean
Can't believe The Joker was in film noir
Yizos jeje
These old school stories will die soon enough
Not to me they won't!
The more you hate yourself, the more you'd appreciate this movie.
That’s RICK DALTON NOT JACK NICHOLSON
One reason The Two Jakes sucked is it didn't have the original's sense of humor.
I don't like comparing God with Jack Nicholson. Okay, he's great, but he's no Jack Nicholson.
Paurth812 😂😂
I saw that joke on another video with Clint Eastwood. Sloppy
Interesting how the topic of Chinese people occasionally comes back so many times in the conversations in this movie
They needed a justification to call this movie Chinatown and not East of Eaton
1:13
Is its sequel as good as Chinatown
That's setting the bar too high. Very few movies in history are as good as Chinatown. Sequel 'The Two Jakes' is very good in it's own right and well worth a watch.
graan manely nope Like the commentator said below Very few films are as good as this one which was the best film of the 70s imo
If you didn't get the joke: it's not the spouse's impotence that's to blame. But the Chinese.
Gittes did nothing wrong.
What’s this movie called?
Marc Hernandez idk look and you’ll find it
Best film of the 70s.
bad joke Jack ...
Joker origin story
he meant that his wife already knows how china men have sex

Mr Wint! 🦂💎🏳️🌈
This is an historical document illustrating a period in history when humans still told jokes and had something called a sense of humor.
This joke was only somewhat funny because it was supposed to be, not because it was.
I just started watching this movie, and so far it seems like a brilliant subversion of the old noir tropes, especially since rather than being immediately sympathetic despite his flaws (like a traditional noir detective), I find myself actually wanting him to get attacked. The other possibility is that I just don't like Jack Nicholson.
I dont get it
His wife is cucking him with a Chinese person
I'd still take Meg Ryan
Lol you’ve gotta to be kidding be over Faye Dunaway
No chance Meg Ryan comes close to Faye Dunaway
I am chinese I have no clue what he is taking abt
Max Li ahh do you nawt speeka da engrish😂😂
Go off and think about it for a while and come back.
yall are dickheads
I didn't get the actual joke. #NoSJW
+Stracchan J Think about it. How would the wife know what a Chinaman screwed like? She'd only know if she screwed one herself. The joke is that the guy thinks his wife is bored in bed so he tries to spice things up- but it turns out that she's been cheating on him so he's the one that got fucked in the end (figuratively).
I feel like it takes age and experience to get it. the last time I saw this movie I instantly started busting up laughing at the punchline
It's impossible to compress life experience into a youtube comment in order to get a joke. It's better not to understand the joke until you're capable of understanding it on your own. What makes the scene extra funny is the funniness of the joke contrasted with seriousness and akwardness of the situation. Plus it's totally a joke for guys only.
meeg_2005
someone explained it and I got it. Thanks.
+Life15Juicy no chance she'd just screwed a chinese man before meeting the husband, huh?
