Greatest Films: Chinatown
ntains a detailed review, a synopsis, and a discussion of thematic elements in the film.
Chinatown (1974) Greatest Films ( and ) With descriptive review commentaries and background history on many classic, landmark films in cinematic history, especially American/Hollywood films. Chinatown (1974) is a superb, private eye mystery and modern-day film noir thriller. Its original, award-winning screenplay by Robert Towne is a throwback that pays homage to the best Hollywood film noirs from the pens of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler in the 30s and 40s. Writer Robert Towne's screenplay was partially based on a true Los Angeles scandal in the early part of the 20th century (the story of the nefarious 1908 Owens Valley 'Rape' and scandalous San Fernando Valley land-grab by speculators). His efforts to separate good from evil - to save the good and punish the evil - ultimately fail in the metaphoric (and then real) world of Chinatown by the film's climax. [The film's title, according to Towne, referred to a 'state of mind' rather than an actual geographic place.] Similar to a case that he never fully perceived or understood years earlier when he was a cop in LA's Chinatown [symbolic of the city of Los Angeles], he is doomed to repeat history ("You may think you know what you're dealing with, but believe me, you don't", voiced by the film's villain played by legendary director John Huston) - as a powerless, hard-boiled detective, he again brings tragedy to a woman he wants to help

LA's a small town, people talk. There, he meets former partner detective Lieutenant Lou Escobar, who used to work with Jake in Chinatown. And I'm out of Chinatown. This again naturally inserts the idea of Chinatown back into the story. It also suggests that Escobar found a way to go along in Chinatown, while something in Jake's moral code wouldn't allow him to follow the same path

Eye On Screen: Cruel Intentions
. Upon his release from prison, Yamashita begins work as a barber in a small town. A woman closely resembling his wife appears in town, and after rescuing her from a suicide attempt, he slowly begins to form an attachment to her. The notion of a pet eel might sound absurd, and Yamashita is certainly ridiculed by the townspeople for his attachment to the creature. During a trip to the bookstore (the film is set in downtown Toronto), Jill gets a crush on a smarmy clerk who accurately gauges her intellectual and emotional depth and recommends a Herman Wouk novel to her
Greatest Films: Deliverance
. The exciting box-office hit, most remembered for its inspired banjo duel and the brutal, violent action (and sodomy scene), was based on James Dickey's adaptation of his own 1970 best-selling novel (his first) of the same name - he contributed the screenplay and acted in a minor part as the town sheriff. The film opens with voice-overs of the main characters discussing the "vanishing wilderness" and the corruption of modern civilization, while the credits play over views of the flooding of one of the last untamed stretches of land, and the imminent wiping out of the entire Cahulawassee River and the small town of Aintry. Instead, they sought the river."] The four characters include: Lewis Medlock (Burt Reynolds), a bow-hunter and avowed, macho survivalist and outdoorsman Bobby Trippe (Ned Beatty in his film debut), overweight insurance salesman Drew Ballinger (Ronny Cox in his film debut), a guitar player and sales supervisor Ed Gentry (Jon Voight, a star actor due to his appearance in ), married, runs an art service Lewis lectures his friends and anxiously bemoans the dam construction that will soon destroy the ('damned' or 'dammed') Cahulawassee River and town

As the boys grow up, they meet young ladies, and date, and consider their futures, and Redford elaborates on the book in ways which flesh out the characters of Paul and his mother, and some of the people in their lives, including a young Indian woman Paul dates in defiance of town opinion, and the high-spirited Jessie, , who eventually becomes Norman's wife

. The cantina in town also has three porches. Instead of a typical Western town, the action takes place in a series of separate buildings, each one in its own landscape and grounds. The justification seems to be that this is a "pre-town": a pioneer collection of buildings that have not yet coalesced into a village. There are often large empty spaces in his shots: the view through the windows showing the town at the opening, for example, or the open spaces in the middle of the apartments. His town scapes tend to show the empty street in the middle. The opening scenes in the small town show a classic sense of visual style. For instance, Ford's My Darling Clementine (1946) is filled with corridor shots down the outside covered porches of the many buildings in town. In town, these were often formed by telephone poles sticking up. The shots in town tend to underline this vertical, by having it match up exactly with the perspective of the shot. The technique is very similar to the lunch counter scenes in Out of the Past , which showed the town through its plate glass windows
