Chinatown, true classic of the crime genre and a piece of art

Rating: 10/10 (27 July 2019)

This is a movie you have to watch at least two times to understand, appreciate and see how big of a masterpiece this movie truly is, with a superb script and a director that brings the story to the screen in a spectacular way and also does a great job at making it like a true detective case with details that are hidden in the scenes. The story is original, we get to see it through Gittes point of view and follow him through the case and it's just everything a detective story should have, a really slow pacing. The characters are well written, realistic and overall great. The soundtrack was perfect, mixing some suspenseful music with some jazz that fits the Era. The filming technique in the movie is truly remarkable, all the shots are beautiful and extraordinary.
There is so many famous actors in this movie and everyone in the cast does an incredible job but Jack Nicholson, Faye Dunaway, John Huston and Perry Lopez are the ones that stands out. But Jack Nicholson did a breathtaking performance that went down in history. Just wow as he does such a great job as an PI and all the emotion he puts into the role.
Truly one of the best movies in the world!
