    Why is the movie Chinatown called Chinatown? The movie is called Chinatown for many reasons. The story leads up to a point where everything sort of resolves and it does it in Chinatown.

    Songs nowadays talk about drugs and the effects‚ but in metaphors‚ just like in Shakespearian times. Everything’s a metaphor. It was noted that Friar L called the plants weed‚ and people in the 21st century still use that term today‚ as we’ve seen lots and lots of the phrases and tropes we use today were created by Shakespeare. Friar L says the flower he picks from his garden is poisonous‚ yet he is using it to dope up a little girl. This is an introductory into the “lightly” hinted fact that most
