Haven't read the original, so I don't have the background knowledge, the only guess comes from the movie's synopsis, the protagonist should be drinking and occasionally breaking.

In short, in my opinion, the first 20 minutes of the whole play are too scattered and confusing. They neither tell people what happened nor clearly express the relationship between the characters, especially rachel for a while, megan for a while, and that for a while. Who was confused when it was time. In the case that the heroine is set to be drunk and fragmented, it makes people even more confused about who she is, whether those fragments are her memory or talking about others, whether they are fantasy or reality, all messed up to the time before and after the case, everyone Just figured out what I was talking about earlier.

In general, the full text is a non-fiction. It records the past events that have memories or the protagonist thinks, and at the same time interspersed with the small past events and backgrounds of several supporting characters. If it is not too long, it is not wrong. The occurrence of megan's death also brought the movie back to the category of normal movies, with logic and development, although you can roughly guess the context after megan has a relationship with his psychiatrist, because megan is a goblin, and she doesn't want the protagonist to have a relationship. There must be a secret in the work of the ex-husband's family. Either the psychiatrist is the murderer (usually not so direct and simple), or the protagonist's ex-husband and megan must have an affair, and then it basically goes smoothly.

Maybe because the case itself is not that complicated, it can't make any elaborate new things. In short, there are still some interesting things to watch after the movie - especially the part where the ex-husband of the heroine was found to be fired has nothing to do with the heroine. It is not a perfect suspense. Drama, but worth watching.

    Emily Blunt did a great job and the other two female leads were beautiful too. So drinking is wrong. I still like the atmosphere of the previous episodes, but the ending is a bit boring.

    What's more scary than a broken piece is meeting a scumbag. The storyline is certainly not as good as the gone girl. But Emliy deserves an Oscar nomination for best actress in this movie. The acting is just a blast!

The Girl on the Train quotes

  • [last lines]

    Rachel: [narrating] Today, I sit in a different car and I can look ahead. Anything is possible, because I am not the girl I used to be.

  • Rachel: Um... I'm here because I... because I... because I woke up, um, covered in blood. And I had bruises all over my arm, um... It's usually from when I've fallen and someone's helped me up. My husband... he used to tell me what I'd done the night before. And I learned when you wake up like that, you just say you're sorry. You just say you're sorry for what you did, and you're sorry for who you are, and you're never gonna do it again. But you do. You do it again...
