Watched the 1974 version of Murder on the Orient Express.
"For someone like me who doesn't match the name and face, I watched the last episode of Poirot's reasoning 4 times before matching everyone's face with the alibi during the previous interrogation, but now I basically don't remember who it was. who is it orz"
The 1974 version is really star-studded, like Hollywood First Lady Ingrid Bergman, Lauren Bacall, Sean Connery (the impression of him is basically in the 007 series, after all, our family had a whole set of DVDs at that time. ...) Wait, the acting is not to be mentioned, but the scene of the toast at the end is really touching.
However, as a suspense movie, I think there are quite a lot of bugs. . ?
First of all, I didn't understand until the end, how Poirot concluded that Ratchett was Cassetti through the paper that said AISY ARMS. Even with those two threatening letters, there is absolutely no direct evidence to prove it. Secondly, a revenge plan carefully planned by 12 people, but they came up with some evidence against them one after another, clothes, buttons, daggers, what was their intention? ? I remember that in the Lindbergh kidnapping case, although the mastermind Haupman was finally caught, there were indeed many sayings at the time that Haupman was innocent. So, is it possible that this murder on the Orient Express was also a mistake?
Of course, aside from these strange bugs, the 1974 version was really successful (compared to the 2017 version), and the protagonist Albert Finney played Poirot's role very well, which was awkward. His behavior and his charm when handling the case are completely different. As a detective, after deducing the whole process of the crime, he chose to hide it. At the end, he watched 12 "prisoners" raise their glasses to celebrate. When he closed the door and left alone, his heart must be very struggling. He knew that the people who were killed actually deserved what they deserved. The actions of these 12 people were actually the same as those of the people who were killed, but he still chose the latter between law and love. Bianchi feels very funny. Every time a person is interrogated, he will say "He did it" and then be refuted hhh. What I didn't expect was that Ingrid Bergman played Greta Ohlsson, a very unremarkable Swedish woman, a very neurotic character setting, but it was the one who made me feel the most story. At first, he was the nanny of the Armstrong family's youngest daughter. Feeling powerless because of the death of the youngest daughter, he began to devoutly believe in God. Poirot said to her in his final reasoning "I believe u were covering up when u were in America, years earlier, having looked after a white baby called Daisy, whose death, though u could do nothing to prevent it, so preyed on ur mind that u sought refuge in a vision of Jesus.” At that time, Greta Ohlsson’s remorse, self-blame, struggle, and all kinds of emotions made people realize her pain in the past five years, and it was really heart-wrenching.
In general, the 1974 version can still give a high score. If there is time, I may make up for Agatha Christie's original work. After all, it is the work of the Queen of Reasoning, hhh, it may solve what I still don't understand. some questions?
