Chinatown A view of life at its darkest and most painful. The script is probably the best ever written, and the performances are flawless. The beauty of this film is in how the complex story keeps building upon itself, letting the viewer know only what Jake knows, to the point where the viewer becomes Jake, and ends up tangled in the web of confusion, lies, deceit, and corruption, all building up to the final scene, which is in my opinion, the darkest, most poignant ending in all of cinema.
