it is good

I just finished watching the 18th edition, and I'm going to watch this one, which is said to be the most classic edition. Comparing the two films, the old version put aside some of the scenes that now seem outdated due to age issues. The story of the movie itself is undoubtedly better. There is no forced drama for the so-called political correctness, and the white people of Yishui are the race that should appear on a luxury train in the 1930s. There is no forced drama for the so-called dramatic experience. The detective is just a fat old man with ordinary appearance. There is no action scene. The whole detective process is simply everyone taking turns asking questions. For me, this is the most real. Movie. As far as the case itself is concerned, the twelve people never considered the question of how everyone would respond if the true identity of the deceased was discovered because they did not consider that a great detective would get in the car, and there was no time to collude with each other. In this case, once the identity of the deceased is discovered along with the note, it doesn't have to be too difficult to solve the case, because for this group of amateur murderers, finding out that they lied is not too difficult for a professional detective. After following some clues to discover their true identities, it is not too far from the truth. Therefore, in this film, one by one questioning, finding flaws, thinking a little, and knowing the truth... This kind of process is the most reasonable. And in the new version, the inexplicable, tangled constipation and the pretentiousness at the beginning are the greatest detective in the world, which is really forcible. Finally, the interpretation of the whole case is meaningless. The old version is the best. After reading the new version, there are still many things that I can't understand. The old version has no such problem at all. To my heart that everyone celebrates with champagne at the end, everyone has worked together to plan for so long, and finally succeeded. How can I be worthy of those who have died without celebrating? I can only say that the new version of the outfit is deep, and I don't feel it after watching too much. . .

    The conductors who easily speak eight languages ​​are awesome! There was a little bit of horror at the beginning, and I also found doubts about Poirot's case-solving process, but there are still many things that I can't understand because of cultural differences. After seeing the ending, I was relieved. From Poirot's words "please remember my first simple version", I had a hunch that it would be a happy ending. very exciting.

    9 points. When the case was revealed and the 12 people took action one by one, I couldn't help but tear my eyes. They had their own reasons, for their lover, their relatives, and good people. The detective and the policeman also let them go. But after careful consideration, in the name of fake love, can you pick up the butcher knife and kill it quickly? I am afraid that there will be endless troubles for the parties and judicial justice. Anyways, it's a good ingenuity story

Murder on the Orient Express quotes

  • Hercule Poirot: The obvious implication is that the murderer, disguised as a conductor, boarded the train at Belgrade, made his way by means of the convenient passkey to Ratchett's compartment, stabbed him to death, planted the dagger and the uniform, and then departed, since the train was now halted in a snowdrift. Who was he? I am inclined to agree with Mr Foscarelli, who believes that he was a rival member of the Mafia, exacting private vengeance for a vendetta whose precise nature the Yugoslav police will undoubtedly identify.

    Dr. Constantine: But... is that all?

    Hercule Poirot: No. No, no, no, no. No, it is not. I said, here is the simple answer. There is also a more... complex one. But remember my first solution when I... when you've heard my second.

  • Greta Ohlsson: I was born backwards. That is why I work in Africa as missionary, teaching little brown babies more backwards than myself.
