A few years ago, when I was still studying in Jinan, my body was not what it is today. If I didn’t pay attention to my diet, I would have a physique like a puffed ball, and I had long hair. I spent a lot of time and thought on it, and I always thought that I was Axl Rose, ignoring the fact that I was just Tom Yorke in the eyes of others.
But now I can still brag about myself shamelessly, although my long colorful hair at that time may always make the first impression of unknown people connect me with the youth of the hairdressing salon on the streets and alleys, or It's the same as I put those illiterate, idle youths, but my natural habit of reading is, by my fingers, the most beneficial of my few virtues. , although most of the time in the eyes of most people, these reading habits of mine have not brought me any simple and direct financial returns, but this does not hinder the fact that I am also a good reader today.
Therefore, such a good habit of reading also made me not appear to be doing nothing but acting like my appearance on the train from Jinan to a certain frontier land in the northwest of the motherland. , although the trains at that time had not been improved, nor had any air-conditioning equipment and more complete facilities, the toilets were unspeakably dirty, and the beds were inexplicable and always had a musty smell, but my When I was still young, my body was full of indescribable youthful restlessness, and the most intuitive external manifestation of this restlessness was that I had endless energy and drive. , what your heart desires.
I remember that at that time, many young people liked to sit in a prominent position in the corridor on the famous green-skin train I was riding, holding a week of Yunpeng's "Green-skin Train" in their hands, and plugged their ears. Wearing the IPOD earphones, which were still new at the time, my eyes sometimes wandered restlessly on the book, and in the next moment, they would transfer to the thighs of the past girl in stockings, like a meteor across the sky, and a dolphin across the waves. , but also natural and smooth.
Of course, for Zhou Yunpeng, I can't talk about love, let alone hate, because most of the time that belonged to me at that time was related to Agatha Christie.
That's right, you can use your imagination to imagine that on a green-skin train that lasts more than fifty-six hours, the conditions are worrying, the winter is cold and the summer is warm, you curl up and live on the bunk on the top of the carriage. In a corner, holding Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" in her hand, she laughed out loud at the harsh description of British women in which Agatha Christie appeared, as if she was there feel it.
Such experiences have made many years later today, whenever I step on the train carriage and watch the crowds coming and going in the carriage, I can't help but subconsciously think of Agatha Christie's "The Orient Express". "Murder", and sometimes even put such a copy on the top of the carry-on luggage, with a sincere heart, no less than the believers who hold hands before meals and thank God for giving them food and water.
And now I hear that "Murder on the Orient Train" will be released this year, and it will be co-starred by many Hollywood stars, which makes me a little ecstatic, although I have to admit that over the years, not only "Oriental Train" has Murder on a Train", and even "Murder on the Nile" and "No One Survives", I have seen countless versions, whether it is the bloated detective Poirot or the slightly dull Miss Marple. It has long been commonplace. For a detective who wins by plot and creates ubiquitous suspense and mystery, it is undoubtedly equivalent to the dilemma that the gambler at the gambling table has long been known to the hole card.
What's more, I think most readers who know detective novels will have to admit the fact that compared with the other Tarzan Beidou in the detective novel world, it is Conan Doyle, the predecessor of Agatha Christie. Sir, Agatha Christie is undoubtedly lacking in character creation, although Agatha Christie is far better than Sir Conan Doyle in the plot of reasoning and the logical reasoning of the case, but I think the world As far as the role is concerned, there is no doubt that Sherlock Holmes, who is 1.8 meters tall, with a slightly thin figure, wearing a deerstalker hat, is far more disgusting than the one written by Agatha Christie. Small in stature, the great detective Poirot with a brain that looks like a "peeled egg" and Miss Marple, who has a temperament that is a little bit like the "grandma next door".
Therefore, we can see the image of the great detective Poirot in many film and television works adapted from the works of Agatha Christie, even after artificial beautification. But it still seems to have some Chaplin-like comedy, especially the unique beard of Poirot in Agatha Christie's pen, which is more reminiscent of the Spanish surrealist painter Dali.
Therefore, in today's flashy society of "judging people by their appearance", I believe there are also many loyal fans of Agatha Christie, like me, who are eagerly looking forward to this "Murder on the Orient Train" which is joined by many Hollywood stars. I couldn't help but sweat it. After all, guessing a well-known riddle, or watching a horror movie that already knew which characters would die, and even how to die, would make people somewhat It's boring.
The director Kenneth Brahner must be well aware of this, especially the versatile, who has also participated in a lot of screenwriting and directing work, such as "Thor", "Cinderella" and other works, after shooting Nolan After the war blockbuster "Dunkirk", he put on the iconic mustache of Agatha Christie's pen, transformed into the world-famous detective Poirot, and came to helm the whole "Murder on the Orient Express" again. , I personally went into battle, and came to direct an ingenious murder case that the audience knew all too well.
And thanks to Branagh, who has accumulated good popularity in Hollywood for many years, the cast he invited for the "Murder on the Orient Express" directed by him is even more so. star-studded.
The first thing to do is to take off the shapewear and tights. Although he is a little fat now, he has been criticized as the "captain" Johnny Depp, who has long been no longer in style. His role in the film is in " "Murder on the Orient Express" runs through the overall situation, and is also the murdered and murderous rich man Rachel. Audiences who are familiar with Johnny Depp will know that this actor, who has a good relationship with Hollywood geek director Tim Burton and has worked with many films, has a face that is enough to ensure his well-being, but it also seems to be contaminated Inspired by Tim Burton's "unconventional" atmosphere, he has repeatedly chosen to play some marginal characters with very different personalities, both good and evil, and this one in "Murder on the Orient Express" once did all kinds of evil, but escaped the law. The sanctions turned into Rachel, a rich man who traveled around the world, which must be the most suitable role for Johnny Depp.
In addition, there is Pedro Propez, a Latin beauty who once collaborated with Johnny Depp in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, and the ageless beauty, the former "Catwoman", who also works with Depp Michelle Pfeiffer, who has collaborated in Sombra, and Daisy Ridley, who played Little Red in Star Wars The Force Awakens; Ms. M, Judy in the "007" series Dench; Willem Dafoe in "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and a series of familiar faces to the audience, the cast of this film is not weak.
The responsibility for the adaptation of this film to the original work is placed on the famous Hollywood screenwriter Michael Green. Perhaps many readers and fans of this screenwriter are a little confused, but if you mention the sci-fi blockbuster "Alien Contract" this year " and the film "Blade Runner 2049", which was just released some time ago, so many people will understand that this screenwriter is by no means an ordinary person. That is to say, because of the strong cast and the well-known screenwriter with profound skills, we have reason to believe in the quality of the film "Murder on the Orient Express", which has been remade countless times.
In addition to the many big-name stars invited by director Branagh's good popularity, his investment in this film is also at all costs. For this "Murder on the Orient Express", the producer specially produced a 1:1 genuine train, and laid the rails on the shooting site, so that the actors can be immersed in the process of the train. , I came to shoot on the spot, and according to the plot in the original book, after encountering heavy snow and closing the mountain, I really took this valuable train out of the track: you know, this train is completely in accordance with the original book. The luxurious scenes are used to restore the layout, and strive to follow the original work in every detail. Not only that, due to director Branagh's persistent pursuit of film films, this "Murder on the Orient Train" has become one of the few films in the world that uses 65mm film after Nolan's "Dunkirk". The movie, under the meticulous carving, can be seen.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" is widely regarded as her most outstanding and most famous work, and after it was changed into a film, there were probably as many as four before, each of which had Word of mouth is a remarkable work, especially in "Murder on the Orient Express" starred by Ingrid Bergman in 1974, which helped Ingrid Bergman, who was 59 years old at the time, to win In that year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, it can be said that there are pearls and jade in the front, as well as "Murder on the Orient Express", which is a golden sign. This time, "Murder on the Orient Express" directed by Branagh, if you want to really The possibility of making a bad movie is close to zero.
