>"Greatest screenplay ever written"
>it's about boring shit like affairs and water politics
One time I saw a guy on /tv/ lie about Chinatown to get some (You) points.

If you can't appreciate Chinatown then you're beyond help. Simple as that.
>>72071814
Noir just isn't your thing.
>Never mind Jake, it's Chinatown
Come on. I shut it off like a minute later

Chinetown is, put simply, a movie that earned its sad ending, rather than taking one on for drama's sake.
>OP thinks the writing in a movie is only the dialogue
this is either a ruse or OP is really that stupid.

This. The movie's structured so well that when I first saw it, my stomach dropped when I saw the final scenes were taking place in Chinatown. I realized that the initially unrelated title was supposed to be ominous when Gittes briefly talke about Chinatown earlier in the movie.

when i watched this in film class in high school, our teacher regaled with tales of alleged pedophilia on set and how john huston fucked his daughter angelica.
