The movie itself is actually not very good. Grandma's murder on the Orient Express has long been familiar to everyone, but the charm of the movie lies in the fact that we can experience different life insights through the performances of the characters.
To be honest with this movie, a basic deductive detective lover knows how the ending will be, but because of this, we can focus on seeing something hidden beneath the surface. I think it is the human heart, the three views, and the discussion of conscience and justice. As the movie itself said when the big pineapple revealed the truth, there are two versions of the truth of this case, one is that Depp was killed by the mafia, and the other is the real truth, each of you is a murderer.
A little girl was kidnapped, killed, and implicated an innocent girl to commit suicide. This incident changed the life trajectory of 12 people. Big Pineapple has been pursuing the truth all his life. He said at the beginning of the movie that he could not tolerate a false world in his eyes. He could only see the truth, but the murder on the Orient Express did not Really tortured him, whether to sting his conscience for the sake of the truth, or to expose the truth for the sake of his conscience. This is also the most fascinating part of the Murder on the Orient Express. When you slay a dragon for protection, and slaying a dragon must first become a demon, how will you choose?
When we assume the role, we will find that human nature is extremely difficult to distinguish right from wrong.
Laws are made by people, and human nature itself has flaws, so is the law. For those who obey the law, they expect the law to give them justice, but for those who violate the law, they are no longer afraid of the law, and they will seek the law. loopholes for their own benefit. This begs the question, how can we seek our own justice when the law cannot give us justice? When we can carry out the justice in our hearts at the cost of losing our conscience, how will we choose?
The Murder on the Orient Express actually raised this sharp contradiction. As a human being, when you are in the role of these 12 people, how will you deal with yourself? Human nature is complex, and human nature is both despicable and noble. Human nature is both greedy and selfless. It is human nature to harm the whole world with a single ounce. It is also human nature to abandon oneself to the whole world. But how many people can not do the former, and can do the latter? Few.
I have read this reasoning of grandma a long time ago. In the past, I always lingered on the splendidness of the case itself and the mystery of reasoning skills. With the increase of age, I realized that grandma's reasoning contains profound humanistic thinking.
To be honest, I don’t have an accurate answer to the questions raised above. After all, we are not saints, we are just one of the common people. If I were to be in another place, among those 12 "sinners", how would I go about myself, there is no answer, and I hope I will never have to face the choice of this question.
Writing this, I suddenly remembered a long-running message on the Internet. If your mother and your wife fall into the river together, you can only save one. Who do you choose to save?
This is a joke, but what if we really meet? How to deal with yourself? This is another unsolved question.
