After thinking about it for a while, I think it is quite meaningful:
people are complex, and there is no absolute good or bad. The behavior of the characters in the play is sometimes controlled by lust, sometimes by interests, and sometimes it is natural in the face of danger. reaction.
But the director told us that the karma caused by the bad deeds of good people and bad people is certain. If you deal with it well, sometimes you get away with it.
I can think of several scenes:
1. Frank driving without looking at the road and making out with his girlfriend. This appears more than once in the film. The last time he got away with it, he ended up killing his girlfriend. This seemingly trivial thing turns into a big disaster inadvertently. Why? Cause and effect. (Do you usually run a red light?)
2. Frank and his girlfriend really killed their Greek husband. The lawyer's eloquent words helped them win the lawsuit and let them go home. But from the point of view of causality, this matter is not over (it is indeed a bad thing). As a result, after the lawyer's assistant was fired, he took the hostess's confession and came to the house to extort money, which almost led to another murder. Again this is cause and effect.
3. The police, as the prosecutor, threw out a harsh word after losing the case. If you go out and spit in the future, I will kill you. This also paved the way for the final car accident. Frank must be hard to escape the crime, and it was inevitable to be hanged.
I can't help but recall that at the beginning of the film Frank was going to run away with the heroine, and then he borrowed money from the heroine to gamble at the station. The heroine felt very discouraged when she saw it, and felt that the man was a gambler, so she threw her hands away and went home again. Frank said that his gamblers were stupid and he would definitely win. In the end, Frank returned home and gave the winning money to the heroine, with a proud expression that means you see I am right. But, in fact, this is the most important explanation of the whole article. Tell us that Frank is a self-righteous gambler who has this gambler mentality everywhere in his life.
He can bet on the crime not to be caught, he can bet on the car not to get into a car accident, but don't forget, what is the cause and effect.
Lao Tzu has a saying: The sky net is prosperous, sparse but not lost
You may have been dealt with by your cleverness once or twice, but in the long run you will be caught one day. The postman always rings the bell twice. This Western proverb probably means this.
