Everything you said was right on the money, but there won't be changing any one person's opinion here. Best to, as you say, skip this crappola entirely. The type of thinking exhibited by Teresa is something I don't even want to be associated with.
Follow Ups:
You like 'LA Confidential'?
noir in the true sense of the word, i.e. the ending is definately not happy. Think Fred McMurray in "Double Indemnity". But what's great about the ending in Chinatown is what's not said but implied. When John Huston as Noah Cross takes his 'daughter', your skin crawls with the knowledge of what kind of upbringing awaits her.And of course the whole Polanski-kitty cat-nose slice-quick cut to giant bandage. Hilarious.
You're right.But if L.A.Confidential had been cast just little better, had the script tweaked a little more ....
But remember, they couldn't resist a 'sequel' to Chinatown - "the Two Jakes". I saw it once, but I don't remember it that well (!).
Had high hopes with both Ellroy and De Palma on board, but early reviews are'nt good. We'll see, eh?BTW, you're right on concerning L.A.C.-ending was almost chipper, for chrissakes. That's noir? Not in my book....
We seem to have pretty much hijacked the hell out of this thread. (-:
You are giving up way too soon.

Happy listening,

You know, lakes of stew, rivers of gin etc. Unfortuneately, one has just about as much likelihood to actually happen as the other.
