There are many pitfalls

I just finished reading the original book yesterday and watched today's movie with a clearer impression. In terms of character image, Poirot's selection is more suitable for the detective in the book (but it seems to be a bit obsessive), especially the inauthentic English is worthy of praise. But, why does he smell like Sherlock Holmes, as soon as he sees Mary. Debenham decided that she was a governess or a map surveyor just because of the chalk dust on her body, and as soon as she saw the photos scattered on the ground, she said that the man of Latin descent was a driver, (suddenly felt that he was on the wrong set ) is somewhat different from Poirot's character. Ratchett, well, why did you choose Depp? (It felt more like the one who played McQueen.) The fat, sturdy man with a kind face and a pair of sinister eyes didn't show it. Depp seems to only have one side of the beast (as a person who likes Depp a lot, I think he is cute and plays all the time) The puzzling point is that the addition of action scenes. Although this makes the film more turbulent, it doesn't seem to have a very good effect in my opinion, and it is a bit superfluous. Regarding the change and integration of the plot, from the perspective of character identity setting and case reasoning, it should be slightly simplified, so that everyone can understand it more clearly when watching it, and it will not be so headache. For people who do not put too much emphasis on the original work Or for people who haven't read the original, it's good. The changes at the end are relatively large, highlighting the encounters and emotions of Mrs. Hubbard, playing an emotional card. Maybe it's to cater to the public's taste, but in my opinion, the reason why I like Agatha's work is that it's unconventional and not procrastinating ending, just right to point out the human touch in calm reasoning, let the article end Gives a warm and sad feeling. Presumably the director of the film also realized this, and he enlarged this point to highlight the emotions more dramatically (obviously he earned tears, the young lady next to him kept sniffing), and it became a very conventional ending, the protagonist The monologue tells us the big truth of life, and later revealed the information that the tragedy on the Nile will be continued, like a series of blockbuster routines.

    Except for some scenes that are too Hollywood, I really like the presentation of this version. The pace is a bit slow in the first part. The feeling of the lens is very good, the long lens of the train station, the glass window of the dining car. The doctor has a line that the murderer destroyed him, and the subtitles are translated as "killed him", which is too hasty. There are comments that Shenxia is possessed, I think it is not Poirot who is possessed by Shenxia, ​​but the doctor who completed the autopsy in two seconds... Lord Kenny, you are also the one who played two detectives! 10.10 want to see

    It can be said that it is very ugly and wastes the cast. Those who have not read the original book can easily feel that the story is farting. And what does it mean to add emotional and action scenes to Big Pineapple? How much is the jealous movie version of Sherlock Holmes... Big Pineapple doesn't need to follow anyone else's example! !
