I love seeing the old LA shots. IT is very close to the actual happenings of the times with water. Brian you should really get a life or at least a brain. >>By Sensible Can anyone tell me about the water issue in the movie I am doing a politics essay on it. Thanks >>By chinatown virgin The corrupt bureaucrats of 1930's L.A. were diverting water from the shared reservoirs in the north and east valleys and dumping the water into the ocean. They did this to make it look like L.A. could not spare the water and the farmers and ranchers that needed this water would have to look elsewheres. The officials knew the farmers and ranchers would never be able to find another water source, so their farms and ranches would eventually fail. This would devalue the land. The officials would swoop in and buy up the land at depressed prices and then develop it. This particular land was close enough to be very valuable to L.A. for residential expansion. It was just another way to defraud farmers of their land and ultimately increase the politians powerbase by turning farmland into city. >>By Skewer does someone knows what does chinatown represent? >>By simon why is chinatown so signficant and why was the movie names chinatown? >>By lil china What is the significance about the history of Los Angeles (as played out by the characters in "Chinatown") and the bureaucrats who puppeteered the development of the city? Further, how do the politicians of the 1930s fit into the puzzle of the development of Los Angeles? >>By masked friend do any of u neo-noir buffs have an information about the significance of the asain characters in this movie? >>By distressed essay writer while watching the movie i was waiting for chinatown .. somehow it never appeared except in the last 15 mins... was this a selling gimmick adopted by the film makers? >>By payalkhorana
