Movie of the Week: Chinatown
Movies could fall in various categories like drama, action, thriller, romance, violence etc. Above all there is one feature which must be present in each and every movie. This feature is critical in forming your perception towards movie..... I am talking about "Comfortability", means How much comfortable we feel when we watch any movie ? If I am not comfortable with movie (Reasons could be many; I hate sex, I don't like action, I don't like slow movies etc.), I will never enjoy it.
Today, I will discuss about a movie which makes each and every entertainment lover comfortable while watching it. "Chinatown" comes under the class of movies which make you comfortable right from the start... Masterpiece in itself. Chinatown is American film released in year 1974 and directed by "Roman Polanski". It stars Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, and John Huston in leading roles.
The story of movie is set in Los Angeles of 1930s, and is greatly inspired by the historical disputes over land and water rights of Southern California during 1910s and 20s. Chinatown was nominated for eleven Academy Awards but won only one for "Best Original Screenplay". In Chinatown actor Jack Nicholson has played the role of private investigator.... Great performance by Jack.
The film is a skillful blend of mystery, romance, suspense, and noir genre elements.
Positives of the movie:
1. Screenplay of the movie.
2. Acting of Jack Nicholson.... I loved his acting.
3. Background music of the movie.
4. Locations of the movie... They are very beautiful.
5. Suspense elements of the movie.
Negatives of the movie:
1. Movie becomes slow in the middle....My personal thought !
If you are the entertainment lover who likes drama, then go for "Chinatown". A great treat to watch. Movie ends with a very famous dialogue......."Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown".
"It is good to be entertained"
