Speaking of the film of the same name, which was filmed in 1974, the deepest impression on people should be the extraordinary wisdom of the great detective Poirot.

If because of this, you have to worry about your IQ, but you don't have to.

But this work can magically keep you addicted. Because, the famous director Kenneth Branagh, with his magical choreography skills, creatively skips the description of criminal methods directly in the film, and uses all his genius to make the most of the film. It tells about the motives behind the crimes. On the Orient Express running in the snow, the big businessman Ratchett was killed. The famous detective Poirot happened to live next to the dead man's box, but he was unaware of the murder. The big detective took on the task of finding the real murderer, but in the process of investigating the case, one mystery after another came one after another. It was obvious that in this speeding train, the real murderer must be hiding in it, but many passengers were full of suspicions. , on the other hand, as if completely innocent. While the detective was looking for clues, he was shrouded in more fog and could not find the slightest breakthrough. Someone must be lying, someone must be confusing himself. Poirot, the detective who has always been able to detect the truth from clues, felt powerless for the first time. At this time, a key name surfaced - Colonel Armstrong. Poirot, who was familiar with the law, immediately remembered the meaning behind the name Colonel Armstrong. Five years ago, a kidnapping that shocked Britain took place in an otherwise peaceful manor. Colonel Armstrong's three-year-old daughter Daisy was kidnapped. After paying the 200,000 ransom demanded by the kidnappers, three-year-old Daisy was brutally murdered. After the tragedy, Daisy's mother, who was pregnant with Liujia, suffered a miscarriage and passed away with her unborn baby. Colonel Armstrong was unable to withstand this series of blows and committed suicide. A despicable kidnapping case eventually led to the tragic death of Colonel Armstrong's family of four, but the culprit has remained unknown until now. Following this clue, Poirot was shocked to discover that the big businessman Ratchett, who was killed on the Orient Express, was actually the real culprit of this tragic kidnapping case - Cassetti. After killing Daisy, who was only three years old, Cassetti not only did not get the punishment he deserved, but also became a prominent businessman and a successful entrepreneur with the ransom of 200,000. After solving this key mystery, a series of questions finally connected in Poirot's mind. It turned out that the crowd on the Orient Express seemed to meet by chance: slutty woman, German professor, governess, missionary woman, old Tsarist prince, servant of the princess, butler of the deceased, accountant of the deceased, train doctor, count and lady, car The businessmen and train attendants were all inextricably linked to the Colonel Armstrong case five years ago. Five years ago, the kidnapping case ended with the kidnappers unknown. The real murderer, Cassetti, went into incognito and used his ill-gotten wealth to start a life of squandering. Everything seemed to be peaceful. But on this calm surface, the flapping of the butterfly's wings caused a series of chain reactions that were unexpected. The accountant of the deceased, who originally had a respectable father, was the executive prosecutor of the kidnapping case. Because he could not find the culprit, he mistakenly accused a young girl, Suzanne, as the suspect. The girl committed suicide because of the humiliation, but then a series of evidence pointed out that the real murderer was Cassetti. Prosecutors were forced to resign because of sloppy death, and finally committed suicide. The German professor, who was originally the sheriff in charge of the kidnapping case, and Susanna, a teenage girl who committed suicide, were originally a loving couple. After Susanna was slandered by the prosecutor and committed suicide, he resigned as the sheriff and became a private detective. The train attendant is the father of Susannah, a young girl who committed suicide because of the case. The car businessman, who was originally Colonel Armstrong's driver, became a successful car dealer because of the sponsorship of Colonel Armstrong, with his own business and wealth. The missionary woman, originally the nanny of Daisy, a three-year-old girl who died tragically, was taken away because she was drunk and did not find the kidnapper who had sneaked into her home on the day of the crime. Because of self-blame, she converted to Catholicism and became a missionary. The housekeeper of the deceased, who was originally Colonel Armstrong's orderly, has been serving as Colonel Armstrong's housekeeper since his retirement. Doctor Train, originally a subordinate of Colonel Armstrong, was helped by Colonel Armstrong and entered the Medical University after transferring to become a doctor. The governess, originally the governess of Colonel Armstrong's wife and the countess's governess, watched Colonel and Lady Armstrong grow up. The princess' servant was originally the cook in Colonel Armstrong's house. Tsarist Russia's old master, and the godmother of Colonel Armstrong's wife, who was killed twice. The Countess, sister of the deceased Colonel Armstrong's wife, became mentally weakened due to the tragedy of the family. The earl, who loves his wife deeply, has become irritable, impulsive and irritable because of his love for his lover. The slut is actually the mother of Colonel Armstrong's wife and the mother-in-law of Colonel Armstrong. Twelve people, gathered on the speeding Orient Express with the same goal, jointly sentenced the kidnapper Cassetti to death according to the Western jury structure, and executed the verdict with their own hands-everyone told the sleeping card. Seti was stabbed (the one that was supposed to be stabbed by the Countess, replaced by her husband, the Count). On that night, they were defenders of justice, executing a five-year late sentence. But in the daytime, they played different roles, stood on different positions, shielded each other from all aspects, brought Poirot into layers of fog, and made the whole case confusing. The great detective who learned the truth fell into an unprecedented panic. In the past, he has always defended the truth and justice, firmly believing that there are only two results in the world, right and wrong, and there is absolutely no gray area. Even the most brutal criminals cannot use lynching. Poirot's beliefs could not allow any criminal to go unpunished, even for the sake of justice. But the more he learned about the case, the more shaken Poirot's heart became. What exactly does the law protect? What are you protecting yourself? Is there an alternative to right and wrong? The new version of "Murder on the Orient Train" does not use a lot of space to describe the bizarre criminal methods, but the climax of the whole film starts from this moment. From Poirot's inner struggles, the complexities of human nature are powerfully explored. No one wants to be killed. After feeling the threat of death, the kidnapper Cassetti humbly asks Poirot for protection, but for profit, he kills the three-year-old girl. No one is willing to kill, but the twelve stabs stabbed by twelve people, because of the different depths of fear, some are not even fatal. After the murder, Rarity is even more uneasy and has an uneasy conscience. But why did all this happen? The flapping of a butterfly's wings will cause a storm in the Atlantic Ocean. This kidnapping case, which happened five years ago, was like the wings of a butterfly, setting off a series of chain reactions. A dereliction of duty prosecutor, a son who lost his father, a mother who lost his daughter, a servant who fell into self-blame, a man who lost his girlfriend... The trajectory of their lives was changed by this kidnapping case. The cruel kidnapper, Cassetti, must have never thought that his crimes had affected the future of so many people, but this force accumulated more and more, and finally became a storm that killed him. The cycle of cause and effect, the retribution is unhappy. This should be the original sin of the constant disasters in the human world. Every mistake will inevitably produce thousands of mistakes, which will eventually lead to immeasurable consequences. Isn't that how the wars and turmoil in human history were formed? From small problems to big problems, from small mistakes to big mistakes. But we just ignore the smallness of these sources, we can't see the mistakes caused by small problems, and we can't see the disasters that small mistakes evolve into. Don't do good for small things, and don't do bad things for small things. How many people can really understand, read and put into practice the notes spoken by the ancients for thousands of years? But these small ones are becoming more and more significant and can not be ignored. Don't you see, it seems small for an old man not to help, but it can lead to thousands of old people who have no one to help! Don't you see, an Internet celebrity selling meat live broadcasts is small, which can lead to more and more shameless social ethos that demand money! Don't you see, it seems that a corrupt official's accumulation of money seems to be small, but it has caused the party's conduct and discipline to almost collapse into the ant's nest! Every move is a cause and effect. Seeing this, I have no reason to be frightened. A few quarrels, sometimes turned into a fight; a few slaps, sometimes turned into a fight; a slap in the face, more likely to turn into punches and kicks... It was dragged, kicked, and it was over? The wings of the butterfly are constantly flapping, and the next storm is brewing like this...
