Through a brief conversation with the car owner who gave Frank a ride, the title shows the protagonist Frank's casual personality for the audience, "I'm always dissatisfied with my job, I hope the next job can realize my dream", for the future" I have time to try and..." It happens to be "MAN WANTED" here. The movie starts here.
After watching the whole film, I have always paid close attention to the ups and downs of love between Frank and Carla, the proprietress of the shop where he works, although some people on the Internet ironically compared their love to Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian , but still a storyline that fits the audience's demands.
The film keeps making small climaxes. Combining the video section by section organically. It can also be called a suspense-style narrative.
First, Frank and Carla eloped for the first time after confronting their feelings. They were walking on the road in the deserted countryside and couldn't catch a car. Kara also fell, covered in dust, and was very embarrassed. In the end, Carla decided to go back to the gas station due to her confusion about their future. As soon as they entered, they met Carla's husband Nick, who had just returned from the city. Nick has doubts about Frank's luggage, which ends with Cara.
Second, Frank and Carla accidentally saw Nick almost getting hit by a car, so they had bad thoughts and wanted to murder him. After suffering in their hearts and life, they finally decided to create an "accident". All plans go according to plan, and eventually an accidental electrocution of a cat ruins their plans and Nick falls badly. Frank and Carla had a wonderful time in Nick's ten days of training.
Third, after Nick came back, Frank felt that this kind of life could not continue, so he left the gas station and went to work in the city. By chance, Nick met him and took Frank back to the gas station enthusiastically. At this time, Nick also decided to sell the gas station, and decided to let Carla go to Santa Barbara (Nick's birthplace) to take care of his sister who had a stroke. So they planned another "car accident". Unexpectedly, the car didn't roll far enough. When Frank got in the car to "help", he fell seriously and injured himself. The inspector just went to the restaurant to refuel. Feeling that something was wrong, they followed them all the way, and Nick died and the two of them were taken to the police station.
Fourth, at the time of the verdict, Frank's unsteady position was successfully divided by the local prosecutor, who sued Carla for murdering her husband and herself. In a rage, Kara confessed the truth to her lawyer. A remorseful Frank sided with Kara again and escaped the law. Although the two came together safely, they were suspicious of each other. It happened just when things were getting better. The lawyer's assistant wanted to set up another hill and was short of money, so he brought out Carla's truthful confession to blackmail Carla, and was beaten by Frank to get the confession back.
Fifth, the two of them are finally completely safe, and the killing of Nick has calmed down. But the two can no longer trust each other as before. Just a week after Carla was away because of her mother's illness, Frank and another little girl went to Mexico to play. In the end, Carla knew that the conflict between Frank and Carla became more and more intense. Frank was afraid that Carla would be sentenced for telling the truth in anger, and Carla was afraid that Frank would kill herself. The two were constantly suspicious.
Sixth, in order to save the relationship between the two, they went to the beach to swim. On the way back, when Frank doesn't pay attention to drive to kiss Carla, it seems that something unexpected happens. The result was unexpected. Kara dies unfortunately.
The ending points directly to the theme. The postman always rings the bell twice. Generally, when the postman comes to deliver the letter, the second time the bell is pressed is for fear that the owner will miss it because he can't hear it. So Frank ended up saying that God is like the postman, he always rings the bell twice. You're usually in the backyard and don't hear the bell until the second ring. The first murder was a lucky escape, and after that, they would still break up again because of their relationship. In the end, Carla died unexpectedly, and Frank could not escape the law after all.
We are just as paranoid and stubborn, trusting too much in our own good luck. Maybe in an accidental moment, we all forget to listen to the first ringtone. Even if we're not in the backyard, even if we're just as alert, we still can't tell if the voice is from God or from within.
