Great video. Chinatown is an excellent movie. But it is very complex and throws a lot of details at you. It really requires your full attention, unlike a lot of the CGI fests Hollywood gives us these days. You did a good job in breaking this movie down.
Thanks for watching my video and your much appreciated comment, Forrest! I agree with you on the subtlety of this great film. I've seen it many times and enjoyed it but for this video I read Towne's script 7 or 8 times, took notes from it, and read it some more before even attempting to do this analysis which still does not do this great film the justice it deserves. I believe that when a film resonates, no matter how simple it is, there are more layers to it and this film is one of those films. Besides Carnal Knowledge, my favorite Nicholson film to this day, this is my favorite of his films. Roman Polanski, regardless of his life outside of filmmaking, is 1 of the best filmmakers ever and this is probably his best film with 1 of my top 4 favorite actors and, without a doubt, 1 of cinema's all time best ever. Thank again, Forrest!
Thanks for watching this video, Ijay79. It took me several viewings and reading the script to get this film. Chinatown is so subtle that it's easy to miss a lot of its other points.
Holy shit your reviews are good. Loved your review. I just read about the historical significance of the movie. How there actually was a conspiracy about Owens Valley and stuff. Keep up the good work.
This was a phenomenal review, elegantly presented. I was oblivious to the possibility of intricate symbolism in this movie, much like Jake's obliviousness to the truth. Thank you, and blessings from Jerusalem my brother.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE… another one of my fave thrillers/neo-noirs (would one even categorize this in that genre?) I just built a playlist of several of your videos as a ton of my favorite movies are on your page.. so glad I found this amazing content and hit ALL notifications!

@@godfatherofcinema No problem my man, i made sure to subscribe - i notice how you reply to pretty much every comment, shows you actually care about the who’s watching you unlike a lot of other people
Enjoy your reviews -- you've got good taste! I think that what you describe in "Chinatown" is closer to allegory than symbolism. An allegory sets up a one-to-one equivalence of some kind: so, for example (as you say) water = truth and thus the broken dam = the truth coming out about Evelyn Mulwray's sister/daughter. That's good as allegory, but its symbolism is not so easy to pin down. For that you need to go beyond the boundaries of the work itself. For example, it absolutely can NOT be a coincidence that Evelyn's father is named Noah (!!!) -- or that her own name is a variation on "Eve" (let's not even get to "Cross"). These are the elements of the film that are not just allegorical but symbolic -- that is, they suggest some kind of larger, mythic pattern behind the events. Maybe it's JUST a suggestion: you can't put your finger on it exactly. But it builds a sense of existential dread, as if there's some kind of ... not just human, but superhuman, supernatural malevolence at work ... if you see what I mean. It's been said that symbolist art gestures at "the myth of the world." Metaphorically speaking: "Forget it, Jake, it's Chinatown."
There is an undercurrent of the racism of the era in "Chinatown" the movie and in Chinatown the place where nothing is what i seems; where a cop does as little as possible if he knows what's good for him. Pidgin English is spoken from time to time: The Mulwrays' gardener, removing dead grass from the pond says, "Bad for glass," to Jake, and Jake responds, "Yeah, bad for glass," (not knowing yet that the salt water in the pond is the key to how Hollis died.) The name of the Biblical-like patriarch, Noah Cross, is also Pidgin English for "Don't cross me."
Great review, thank you. Gore Verbinski's excellent animated film Rango, starring Johnny Depp is based on the same premise. Greed. My brother and I rewatched Chinatown last week and we both agreed it's just as engaging as it was over forty years ago.
@@godfatherofcinema mike nichols! Carnal Knowledge is a great and sad film. My favorite from Nichols would be Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. His adaptation of Catch 22 deserves more love as well. In fact I wish Nichols had a bit more of a lasting legacy and pop culture relevance as a filmmaker. Seems The Graduate is the phenomenon, but he has a New Wave filmography that rivals many of the titans.
@@animaniacsrule Thanks for the recommendations. Big Nicholson fan but a bit reptilian when it comes to venturing away from my favorites. I'll definitely check these out!!!

Thanks for watching my video. At one time, Vertigo took the title of Greatest Movie Ever from Citizen Kane but CK got it back the following year and finally lost the title to The Godfather. Those are 2 great films, Chinatown and Vertigo which is probably Hitchcock's best film overall. Glad you enjoyed the review.

Great job. Ironically on the day of this post I was telling a young man I was ridesharing with about this film. I gave him some essentials also. Respect your research. U gotta do The Wild Bunch. When i saw that film at six years old I thought it was a horror film. I quickly realized it was my favorite man's man film.
Thanks for watching the video, myfonk, I appreciate it! I love this film more that I've taken the time to watch it carefully. I will check out Wild Bunch and put it on my list. Thanks again!
Yes, u look at the lives of Jack and Roman and how it interwines with their real life lives....whew! Another film I believe is timeless: Paths of Glory
I was rather stunned at the parallels you point out. Amazing that they were able to make it work as a film. Paths of Glory is unbelievable. I plan on doing it but I admit it is a hard film to watch especially the executions.
Right on, Hep Torque! Man, my ex father in law eat, slept, and brushed his teeth on The King Of New York. Christopher Walken's best movie, imo. Streaming is cool, but I like owning physical movies as it sounds like you do, also. When it comes to films like Chinatown, I have to own it. My living room furniture is literally movies, a couch, and a TV, lol. I am drowning in movies, love them. Chinatown is like a glass of expensive champagne that I only open on special occasions and definitely not with those who don't know the difference between a "movie" and film. Thanks again, Hep! Appreciate your support big time!! Btw, be looking out for a couple of new videos: 1 this weekend, and another next week--True Lies!
Nice breakdown man, I agree it’s very well written. I don’t suppose you have a video on “One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest” as well? Another strong Nicholson performance, and I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the symbolism of that film.
Thanks for watching the video, Chewy. If you do see the Two Jakes let me know because I haven't seen it since it is not directed by Roman Polanski whose style I admire a lot.
The Godfather Of Cinema Larry Peerce is the directors name... I first saw the film in 1970 or something... but it was the type of movie that you never quite forget... later I was able to find a VHS copy in a local Blockbuster video store that was going out out business.. thanks for your reply... I have just subscribed to your channel and I look forward to enjoying all of your outstanding work .
@@mrright2288 Thank you very much, Mr Right. I will definitely look into the film you recommend. I think movies of that time period were infinitely better than films today which rely to heavily on special effects and other distracting elements as opposed to solid writing and acting. Also, I will be putting out another video in a couple of weeks on Christopher Nolan's film INTERSTELLAR which I am now working on. Hit the bell and check back in for it.
I dont think Katherine is mistress of Hollis. I think he was just looking out for her and there's no hint that they're having an affair. I think they're relationship is like father-daughter and evelyn doesn't want katherine to know that her father is her grandfather.
Hi, Brian. I point out the fact that Hollis and Katherine ARE NOT LOVERS in the video. I also point out the fact that Evelyn does not want Katherine to know that Noah is her (Katherine's) father. Thanks for watching it.
What thanks for watching this video Jack Nicholson and Marlon Brando are my all-time favorite actors I would appreciate if you subscribe I have a new video coming out Tuesday the Godfather
@@lightningguy468 Sorry for taking a while to get back to your comment. I have not seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest yet but I have seen (and love) The Shining. Nicholson's probably my favorite actor along with Brando.
This is one of those films that was OK the first time I saw it that I had to grow to appreciate over time. Faye was my favorite actress. Really had it together.
I did a very short review of Vertigo but I'll have to redo it to give the film the justice it deserves. Hitchcock's best film, imo. James Stewart is in my top 3 all-time great male actors. Thanks.
Thank you sir. I was (long ago) I was a 'free press' quality control tech, etc. and later discovered my skill in law, etc. Although partiall bi-lingual I nearly got 'Chinatowned' by lainos in a gov. housing project somewhere in CA. Kinda like slick Willie Clinton, but I wasn't popular nor political. And I prefer (mainly) people of color. In 1999, after Bill said that he was like a black man, Chris Rock joked: He --Bill was 'like' a black man: Wife's a bitch, he got no money, and his friends were in jail {Ark.whitewater 'scandal'} VERY funny. Chris rock seriously also said that prejudice is not in the past --it's real. Godspeed anf good luck, esp. to you, Chris and Colin Koerpernick.
Thanks again, Samarth. I have done some Kurosawa. Here are a couple of vids: ruclips.net/video/4jZ3N9DB8Ps/видео.html ruclips.net/video/IPwzVkjlL6E/видео.html
Some of the facts are wrong: the fake Mrs. Mulwray is not blond, Jake was not a DA, water was dumped in the ocean not in the valley. This is an interesting piece but it makes you wonder what else this commentator got wrong!

I was (long ago) I was a 'free press' quality control tech, etc. and later discovered my skill in law, etc. Although partiall bi-lingual I nearly got 'Chinatowned' by lainos in a gov. housing project somewhere in CA. Kinda like slick Willie Clinton, but I wasn't popular nor political. And I prefer (mainly) people of color. In 1999, after Bill said that he was like a black man, Chris Rock joked: He --Bill was 'like' a black man: Wife's a bitch, he got no money, and his friends were in jail {Ark.whitewater 'scandal'} VERY funny. Chris rock seriously also said that prejudice is not in the past --it's real. Godspeed anf good luck, esp. to you, Chris and Colin Koerpernick.
Hi, Phillip. Thanks for watching the video. Chris was right. Racism hasn’t gone anywhere. Godspeed to you also
You just told the story and nothing else
Have you reviewed any Kurosawa, I think you'd love his work
Thanks again, Samarth. I have done some Kurosawa. Here are a couple of vids: ruclips.net/video/4jZ3N9DB8Ps/видео.html

A vessel for Noah
LolI didn’t think about that great observation
Some of the facts are wrong: the fake Mrs. Mulwray is not blond, Jake was not a DA, water was dumped in the ocean not in the valley. This is an interesting piece but it makes you wonder what else this commentator got wrong!
