The Postman Always Rings Twice

When Frank met Cora, the lipstick that slipped from Cora's hand was rolling towards Frank in a flamboyant manner - this scene, can't help but think of the bamboo pole smashed on the head of the Ximen high official. It seems that all roads lead to Rome, and although the adultery between the East and the West has its own chance, it eventually leads to the same goal.
The early noir films did not have the skillful and unified control of the tone and atmosphere in today's Hollywood, and "The Postman Always Rings the Bell Twice" follows the gorgeous style of the golden age. However, in Hollywood at that time, the Hays Code was still heavy on the head, criminals could not go unpunished, kiss scenes had to be brief and restrained, and the moral conservatism was no less than that of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Therefore, actresses on the screen have the ability to turn all living beings upside down with their gestures. Lana Turner put on a dress without fancy dress, and put on lipstick without any scheming, so she has a sexiness that reaches people's hearts. In the pre-Monroe era, it was the ultimate dream of a man.
The story unfolds in such a gorgeous and sexy way, the fate, the elopement of premature death, and the murder are carried out and terminated in trepidation. If it ends here, the love of the fallen mandarin ducks will remain at least a bit pure, however, the postman always presses two second bell.
The postman is never mentioned in James M. Cain's original book, and the title of the novel itself is a hot topic, but in the story greed succeeds in the second murder, retribution in the second car accident, and repentance in the first. Only after the second judgment is sincere enough to wash away sins. It implies the stubbornness of fate and the inevitability of destruction. In any case, the fate of fate will always come as scheduled.
The Greek dies in the second murder, the split of interests behind the huge insurance rigged the trial, and Frank and Cora, under the unexpected pressure of mutual suspicion and hatred, fell into hell, even forgetting the original intention of all this, is love for each other.
At the end of the day, it's just a clumsy love story.
Of course, Cora returned to the beach where her lust was born, and handed over her life and death to Frank. After losing Cora, Wayfrank's heartfelt mourning and repentance, what we saw in scenes were not two evil and lustful outlaws. They are a pair of food and drink men and women who try to grasp happiness but are cowardly and swaying.
The gloomy ending reveals that human nature cannot be tempted. The good and evil in ordinary people cannot support them to go to the extreme of black and white. The love between the tramp and Cora does not exceed the tenacity and intensity of ordinary people. The whole body retreated, and the bad luck was inevitable when the murderous intention first appeared. At the end of the film, Frank's confession explained the meaning of the title: "God is like the postman, he always rings the bell twice. You are usually in the backyard, and you can't wait until the second ring. Hear." The
strong religious temperament in the sense of fate guides us to find the moral cornerstone of the film: everything belongs to the Lord, because the Lord said, it is mine to avenge and I will repay.

The dislocation of crime and punishment in the two trials strongly presents the absurdity of existence, making the novel leave a mark on the heritage of European and American philosophy. Camus claimed that the original work inspired the creation of "The Outsider", Woody Allen, the Coen brothers The superb interpretation of impermanent fate is in the same vein as this film. Lana Turner became an instant hit with the film, shining brightly among the stars of the Golden Age. In the 1970s, the film was remade in color, but the black-and-white film Zhuyu came first, and its status as a classic cannot be shaken. About a good film is always like a good news, curling around the beam, echoing endlessly.
