Everyone has a ghost

At the end of the 1974 version of "Murder on the Orient Express", everyone sat in the dining car. In the narrow space, Poirot began a personal reasoning show, grasping the truth hidden under the heavy snow. The reasoning process of the 2017 version does not have the first classic, but the ending scene, The Last Supper, is eye-catching.

"He who has killed people has an incomplete soul" This sentence also appeared in "Harry Potter".

But "there are no murderers here, only people who need to be reborn"

For a detective story, the reasoning process is important, but the final exploration of human nature is even more precious.

I remember the story of six robins in "The Cowardly Detective". Five people decided to kill the heroine on the same day, but the heroine already knew everything. She actually committed suicide. sin. A strong sense of guilt will bring them down one by one.

"If the truth is sad, do you still want to find the truth?"

Poirot asked himself at last.

Fang thought the same.

The king also asked Zhang Chulan the same way when Luo Tian was having a grand ceremony.

But they all made the same choice. In order to make the souls of others complete, they stepped into the darkness of people's hearts alone, took out the truth from the abyss, and announced it in the light.

Everyone has ghosts in their hearts, and they bring light to these ghosts.
