      My Humble Opinion on "Murder on the Orient Express"

      In "Orient Express", the "drama" American old lady Harbart has left a deep impression on me. Her actions and images in the whole case are like an eventful old lady on the street, and she can't stop for a moment, Poirot There is nothing for her. However, before her real identity was announced, I never doubted her "acting skills" at all, let alone imagine that it was her acting skills. Under the characterization of the grandmother, her pervertedness and...

      Grandma's Satisfaction

      After reading the 2010 version, and then reading the original novel, after writing the above comments, I tasted the 1974 version again. Sure enough, this version is more classic, 128 minutes long, with an extra 38 minutes. Includes a restoration of the Armstrong case, as well as some testimonies omitted from the 2010 version.

      The 1974 version, perhaps due to the closer age, is more retro and authentic in the shaping of the background of the 1930s, with a more sense of age. Compared...

      Reasoning personal show

      After watching the movie in the afternoon, I was about to fall asleep in the middle of the movie... Just comment. The main scene of the film takes place on a bus from Istanbul to Paris, a play of 13 people. But it feels like it's a one-man game. It occurred to me that the Twelve Angry Men were also in a small space, and everyone started their own performances. The dramatic conflict is obvious, the logic is clearer, and the ending is more logical. The ending of the film on the Orient Express...

      out-of-date

      This lady appeared, I was shocked, she was in the COS white poodle bar

      It was interesting to clink glasses at the end, and it seemed that it was really a human thing to do. The backs of the immediate family members, all the characters appear one after another with the crisp clinking of glasses. At this time, silence is better than sound, and the beautiful soundtrack...

      Murder on the Orient Express

      First of all, I must mention that the version I watched was the subtitles made by the Pirates subtitles group. It is really a very professional subtitles group. The subtitles are not only in Chinese and English, but also have skillful translation skills. In such a film with many main characters and mixed languages In the movie, there are not only translations in various languages, but also subtitles for the basic information of each important character. The content that needs to be supplemented...

      In general, worse than the legend. The subtitles of the version I watched are very poor, so I basically rely on listening, and it is estimated that some information is missing. But the overall feeling is that the rhythm is not so good, and there is no particular ups and downs to catch people. The seats are abundant, and the scheduling of small spaces is realized. The characters are somewhat staged, and I always feel that some of them can be digged a little more. The director himself also said...

      It doesn't seem to be scary now, and the reasoning process doesn't give people a sense of sudden realization. But the shadow of childhood is not so easy to overcome... I really got goosebumps when I saw it at the end... I was definitely scared when I was...

      9 points. When the case was revealed and the 12 people took action one by one, I couldn't help but tear my eyes. They had their own reasons, for their lover, their relatives, and good people. The detective and the policeman also let them go. But after careful consideration, in the name of fake love, can you pick up the butcher knife and kill it quickly? I am afraid that there will be endless troubles for the parties and judicial justice. Anyways, it's a good ingenuity...

    An anachronism: Poirot is drinking a glass of green beverage and can see a modern-designed car on the road outside the window.
    Geographical error: When the passengers are on the train, they can hear passengers speaking different languages ​​from all directions, they will go to the same destination: Fia, Belgrade, Zagreb, Browd, Driasti. Among them, Browder was mentioned after Zagreb and Deriasti before, as if it was located between the...

    Tidbits

    During the filming, the Orient Express did not actually exist. The Orient Express used in the movie cannot travel too far.
    Before the filming started, the makeup process of Albert Finney's old dress often took several hours. At the same time, he also had a stage performance. The crew specially invited a special line opened by an ambulance to pick up people at his home. In the car, he wore pajamas to help him sleep better.

    Evaluation action

    "Murder on the Orient Express" can be said to be the first work of Agatha Christie filmed in a way that gathered many movie stars. The film was imitated by later detective films. "Murder on the Orient Express" focused on six Oscar winners, all of which gave wonderful performances. Poirot, played by Albert Finney, makes it difficult to distinguish his original appearance. The changeable style is breathtaking. (Sina Entertainment...)

    Movie quotes

    • Hercule Poirot: The obvious implication is that the murderer, disguised as a conductor, boarded the train at Belgrade, made his way by means of the convenient passkey to Ratchett's compartment, stabbed him to death, planted the dagger and the uniform, and then departed, since the train was now halted in a snowdrift. Who was he? I am inclined to agree with Mr Foscarelli, who believes that he was a rival member of the Mafia, exacting private vengeance for a vendetta whose precise nature the Yugoslav police will undoubtedly identify.

      Dr. Constantine: But... is that all?

      Hercule Poirot: No. No, no, no, no. No, it is not. I said, here is the simple answer. There is also a more... complex one. But remember my first solution when I... when you've heard my second.

    • Greta Ohlsson: I was born backwards. That is why I work in Africa as missionary, teaching little brown babies more backwards than myself.

    • Hercule Poirot: Signor Bianchi, it is for you, as a director of the line, to choose the solution that we shall offer to the police at Brod. Though I confess... I am in two minds. I think the police at Brod would prefer the simplicity of the first solution.We have the uniform... to show the police.

      Bianchi: If we have the uniform, there must have been a man in it. So therefore, I elect the first solution.
