Great After Three Decades

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2004)

I just experienced my first screening of Chinatown in the same town that was featured in a portion of the action: San Pedro, CA and not that far from Chinatown Los Angeles.
I was totally captured and raptured in this belated viewing.
A week ago, I viewed John Sayles "Silver City" and it seems that little has changed when one tells a story of local political corruption and payoffs by folks who move real estate and corporate sales in the name of progress -- with the taxpayer billed for progress through tax assessments on their salaries and property.
Both Silver City and Chinatown are great films.
Being a resident of the Los Angeles metropolitan area from birth to schooling through a few professional careers, it is great entertainment to experience scenery and events that I have lived.
