It's like waiting for a letter that you know will come, your nervousness and anxiety are not reduced, even if you think you are waiting for the postman all the time, he always comes when you are in the backyard, and you, often He could only be heard ringing the bell a second time. God is the strange postman who came late. Maybe he was very uneasy when he rang the bell for the first time. The justice and fairness he held, just like the secret letter, changed a person with a natural to irrational attitude. A person's life.
Now it seems that this noir film is really procrastinating, and when I watched half of it for nearly two hours, it made me suspect that the film was born. Killing can be considered neat, but the prosecutor is eyeing? With nearly an hour to go before the verdict is over in court? After inexplicably falling in love, maybe they killed each other and became Mr. and Mrs. Smith because of the provocation of the prosecutor? These adulterous men and women who are strong outsiders and committed crimes finally could not stand the condemnation of their conscience and accepted the punishment of God, so a good suspense thriller is going to run the road of no return for Mao, and have you forgotten the dream of walking in the sun hand in hand?
Frank, a man without a place to live, applies for a job at a roadside burger shop. He quickly falls in love with the proprietress. The two plan to murder the owner of the burger shop alone. However, when they succeed, the pace of punishment is always much faster than happiness. ......
In fact, if this story is made into a classic extramarital love like "Long Dreams of the Covered Bridge", it is not impossible. The proprietress and Frank have not struggled coldly when facing their relationship. The red line of the two people and a dancing scene set the tone of the whole film: when the proprietress tried to distance Frank as far as possible, it was Frank who helped her realize her little wish to change the lights; Playing the guitar, he urged the proprietress and Frank to do a dance for fun; after the dance, the distraught proprietress hoped that the boss could accompany her to the beach for a swim, but the boss wanted to continue celebrating the new neon sign and sent Frank to accompany him.
In this dance, the boss played the guitar, the dance music played on the record player softly penetrated into his heart, the newly replaced lamp enveloped the room in an ambiguous atmosphere that was always bright and dark, and his strong arms wrapped her around her. He was weak, her lips rising almost to the point of burning his skin. The flickering light makes the three people fall into a wonderful sadness. No one's mind can collide at this moment. The terrible light can't point the direction of the bright road, so you will smell the hormones in the black and white film.
For the expression of desire, the film always presents an exemplary gesture, which is both ingenious and high-level: when the proprietress first appeared in Frank's field of vision, the first thing to appear was her feet, which were hidden in white fish-mouth shoes. The slenderness corresponds to Frank's unease; after knowing that the beautiful woman in front of him was a married woman, he threw the sign into the fire, and the burning flame seemed to engulf his reason; The surging waves draw the outline of the cheers in their hearts, and when they face death, the calm water finally allows them to face their sins frankly. Sometimes I feel like this poor couple is just the product of the boss's test of loyalty, who knew his death wasn't a product of his self-righteousness.
The inexplicable priest's rescue at the end of the film is as destructive as a good drama. In retrospect, it seems that many films are praying for redemption like God at the end. I don't know if the original book really has this setting, or if the religious atmosphere in that era was too strong, so Ability determines the direction of the end of the movie. Is it a coincidence of the people's return, or a deliberate flattery of the faith?
