An express train, a carriage, a dead man, a detective, a group of travelers, an event that makes them seem separate yet connected.
It is becoming clearer that the biggest difference between romance novels and suspense novels, romance novels tell you: everything is accidental, everything is fate, and it is fate that makes us meet. Mystery novels tell you: there is no such thing as coincidence.

As a well-known detective, Mr. Poirot has always maintained that no matter what people say, it is either right or wrong, and there is no grey area.
Even after learning that the real identity of the deceased was a kidnapping murderer, he still adhered to his principles and was bound to find the murderer of the deceased. He believed that we would encounter some scum every day, but we cannot kill them. This is where we are different from the beasts. As long as it is a crime, no matter what the reason is, it cannot be justified.

The calories of a box of Taiping soda biscuits are 486 calories, and the calories of a bag of Yili pure milk are 68 calories. What about people's hearts, can people's hearts be clearly marked? Only children can distinguish right from wrong, and adults can only distinguish between pros and cons. Mr. Poirot said the most when handling the case: So who will benefit the most from this matter? Pursuing this clue, he has indeed successfully solved many suspicious cases. Once a person kills a person, his soul is no longer complete, just as dirty hair tends to become dirtier.
Because of the tragedy of the Armstrong family, or for redemption or revenge, the 12 people in the carriage had worked hard for many years to plan this murder, and together they made a "trial" for the kidnapping and murderer, and Mr. Poirot made a "trial" for the actions of these 12 people. Judgment", Mr. Poirot stood at the long table, watching the 12 people who buried their consciences with the death of Little Daisy, sadness and anger diffused in the air, the whole picture was like Daphne Odd's famous painting "The Last Supper", for the first time in his life, Mr. Poirot began to suspect that maybe there is a gray area in this world.

Balanced, the word means equal weight on both ends of the scale. In the film, Mr. Poirot has been looking for a sense of balance. For example, he must find two eggs of the same size for breakfast. For example, after accidentally stepping on the feces with his right foot, he has to step on his left foot to balance his heart. This is probably a manifestation of the black-and-white worldview in real life. Throughout the film, Mr. Poirot only gave up this sense of balance in his final closing statement. He finally felt that he could reply to Colonel Armstrong's unreceived letter. On this Orient Express, Mr. Poirot saw The brokenness of human nature and the unbalanced sense of the world are also accepted. He said there were no criminals in the car, just people who needed to be reborn.
Then he left the train and told the soldiers who came to deliver the letter that M. Poirot was on vacation and did not accept the case, but after hearing that it was a murder on the Nile, he raised his head and said to the soldiers: Fasten your tie. When M. Poirot returned to his quest for balance, he resumed his role as a detective again. So, who is the one who just made the conclusions of the two cases for everyone to choose? It was the common man Hercule Poirot.

The director can take the reading of the book as a movie, and the composer can write the reading of the book into the score. what about me? The words typed on the keyboard are still too shallow. I can only say that, fortunately, I did not choose the law, and I will not be a good lawyer.
Compared with the original book, the film has been adapted a lot. Kenneth Branagh portrays a more flesh-and-blood ordinary human, while Agatha Christie portrays a more flesh-and-blood real world. Regarding this movie, I can only say that it is a 99-point reading experience. This high score is due to Uncle Ken's touching trial scene and excellent directing talent; as for 100 points, it is really still for Granny's original work "Murder on the Orient Express" ", it is really beautiful, without any cover up, the title of the book already tells you that this is a murder case, from the modus operandi to the testimonies of the characters, everything is explained to you, interrogated with you, and uncovered together with you. The mystery gives you the chance to make the final choice... And you, together with the characters in the book, are subject to inner torture.

Whether it is film or television, or literary works, many people have been analyzing and talking about this gray area of ​​law, justice and human nature, but in the end, no one really understood it, no one really made it clear, no one There is no real conclusion. Yes, it is, it is human nature. How can you be qualified to evaluate anything related to human nature? Anything can only be judged if it is out of itself.
How about you? do you believe it? There are only two colors in this world: black and white.
