Jaw dropping theme. Exquisite In every phrase of the word. Faye A vision at some scenes. The music binding profoundly to the Heart. This is China Town, forever. The whole pathos, and sadness, The fathers betrayal. An Jake Lives to survive the loss. A perfect cast. My all time Favorite!

Watch the movie yesterday, and I came to this video hoping that it would actually clear up the ending. But this video somehow managed to make things even more confusing.

[@aprilfoozeler]

It's a neo-noir story, which I hate this genre for a reason (sorry) Here's a copied comment explaining everything: Land without water is cheap - land with water is valuable. The unscrupulous Noah Cross was cutting off water to the Valley and buying land cheap thru proxies. Then after he owned most of the land in the Valley he was going to get the government to provide water by incorporating it into the city of Los Angeles which would make the land far more valuable. Hollis Mulwray found out and was murdered. Jake Gittes found out but no one would listen to him. That was the final message - you can't do anything, nobody's going to listen, so forget about it. The parade moves on.

I believe Noah was diverting the water supply away from the area so he could be payed big bucks

[@keiraazzahra6159]

@@joevargas8239 so the affair thing was to make it look like Evelyn killed Hollis? make it look like they had a fight and she killed him?

[@paigefolger9511]

Roman Polanski (the director of this film) has a small part where he cuts Jake's nose (Jack Nicholson) as he's try to climb over the fence/gate to investigate.

I'm not a native english speaker so this film confuses me and i don't know what i don't understand LoL, what i know that this is a great mystery film but i can't surely unfold every aspect of them, can anybody show me the explanation plot of this film in details.

[@RobTangren]

The plot of any mystery or detective fiction, from Maigret to Sherlock Holmes, has a back-story. We enter the story with the detective and watch him uncover the back-story. Chinatown has a complex back-story with numerous crimes: fraud, exploitation, coercion, incest, and murder. It grew out of a feud between two men: Hollis Mulwray, who was kind, gentle, and honest; and Noah Cross, who was greedy, unprincipled, and depraved.

[@alankirkby465]

It's a little bit unconventional, unfortunately most people only look/ need, the conventional ( just saying) Please to all.

The thumbnail is pure nightmare-fuel.... who does this weird photo editing? Or is it a terrible filter?

Can any one tell me how making the girl that the head of enginers is seeing the daughter and the sister of his wife??..i mean whats the point..!?

[@KBrianO]

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.

[@frankabler]

But Hollis knows that Katherine is Evelyn's daughter. Katherine was never Hollis' mistress. He was just socializing with her because was his wife's daughter.@@KBrianO

As little as possible.

This summary isn't very helpful if you've never even heard anything about this movie. Completely confusing.

[@natewei]

You were hoping for cliffs notes? Just watch the movie instead of coming here

[@CPorter]

It's even more confusing if you have watched the movie

[@CPorter]

@@natewei I came here after watching the movie the entire way through. What I don't understand is the very ending. Like the last five minutes.

[@josephoneill2753]

I have a fairly high IQ and I'm still trying to perfectly figure the movie out.
