Passion is left to the imagination of the audience

The black and white version in 1942 is the story of Pan Jinlian, Ximen Qing, and Wu Dalang in the United States, but there is no such stupid Wu Song. At that time, there were still a lot of noir films in Hollywood, but the stories were told very directly and made people watch them, unlike the uncomplicated stories of David Fincher or David Lynch, which had to be told so that ordinary people could not understand them. The film is about eroticism, but it makes people feel less intense. Just like Kubrick's "A Pear Blossom Presses Begonia", it is obviously full of eroticism, but it can be shot as plain as water (later remakes are all erotic films) , leaving the lust to the imagination of the audience.

[last lines]
Frank Chambers: You know, there's something about this that's like... well, it's like you're expecting a letter that you're just crazy to get, and you hang around the front door for fear you might not hear him ring. You never realize that he always rings twice.
Father McConnell: What's that?
Frank Chambers: Well, he rang twice for Cora... and now he's ringing twice for me, isn't he? That's about it. The truth is, you always hear him ring the second time... even if you're way out in the backyard. Father, you were right. It all works out. I guess God knows more about these things than we do. Somehow or other Cora paid for Nick's life with hers. And now I'm going to. Father, would you send up a prayer for me and Cora? And if you could find it in your heart... make it that we're together, wherever it is.
