At midnight, the Orient Express on the European road was stopped because of heavy snow. In the morning, an American businessman was found dead in his carriage. There are twelve different wounds on the body, and the clues that keep appearing seem to point to different suspects, which makes people confused. Meanwhile, Detective Poirot on the train begins his investigation. This is adapted from the famous British writer Agatha's detective novel Murder on the Orient Express of the same name, which was filmed in 1974. Agatha considers this the only film adaptation of her life that she is completely satisfied with. In this film, there are many characters, and due to the particularity of the case, all the characters who appear are important and indispensable. During the filming, the monologue of the protagonist alone was as many as eight pages, let alone the scene where everyone was talking together. The equipment was too much to fit in the carriage, and the filming was repeated many times. But obviously, the director has a solid foundation and handles this complex case well with these intricate characters. On the Orient Express, in the long and narrow aisles, in the independent carriages, each character on the car appeared in turn, and all of them were vivid and three-dimensional. The director's character scheduling is strategized, the details are displayed, and the lines and the scene are fully integrated.

At the same time, due to the rich facial expressions of the escorts, this paragraph also brings some humor.

Before getting into the car, a lady with a Swedish accent eagerly looked for the idol, and the image of a soft and waxy female missionary came into the hearts of the people. In just a few minutes, the approximate personalities and occupations of the three characters emerged. Not to mention that due to the homicide case and the particularity of the case, the protagonist talked with the passengers in the car one by one, and showed the characteristics of each passenger step by step through lines, actions, and expressions, so that the audience was familiar with their characters. Heart. At that time, it was a role model for group dramas. This Orient Express running in the snow is very famous and is a symbol of status in an era. Istanbul Railway Station, bustling with people in various costumes, accompanied by the long whistle of the train, the story slowly unfolded. Although the director focuses on the development of the case as much as possible, due to the characterization of the characters and the pursuit of detailed description. The film tells the background of the story that happened decades ago, not just a simple splicing of various retro elements. Various characters in the film speak different languages, past experiences, elegant etiquette, and the titles of princess and jazz all vividly and vividly show the life of the upper class in the 1930s, with a lot of style and flavor of the times. The film's set and props are also very well set. There are heavy pleated curtains hanging on the wall of the car, and crystals that are sparkling without a bit of dust seem to enter a magical world transformed by warm and shiny brass and luxurious wood, and feel the era of that era. The grace of that class of people. The chef who carefully checked the ingredients before driving also inadvertently told us what a great food feast will be in the car, leaving unlimited imagination.

One of the most famous is the Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman, who played the humble preacher. She also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the film.

    This kind of story is not suitable to be made into a movie. There are many characters. It takes a lot of energy to tell the background of each of them. Moreover, the story is almost always supported by dialogue. The movie seems very long-winded. A lot of wonderful.

    The Twelve-Man Trial, which is the most important one, was placed indoors and became more like the curtain call of an indoor drama, so I personally feel that it is not as strong as the new version. But the rare thing is that Poirot did not steal the spotlight, and the whole story was evenly distributed to the big names-the train carrying love and hate moved forward all the way, vanished in the wind, and the soundtrack was magnificent, which was the last icing on the cake.
