This is a movie based on Agatha Christie's novel of the same name. Although I haven't read the original book, this idea is really amazing. A first-class carriage of a luxury train from Constantinople to Calais. In a murder case, twelve murderers with different identities from all over the world, on the surface, are a group of people who can never have anything to do with each other, but they are all victims of a kidnapping and murdering a young girl. The suspense setting is perfect, and until the final announcement, I tried to analyze who the murderer was from some clues, and finally I was convinced by this design.
The ending is undoubtedly brilliant. Sometimes the law is more of a tool than justice, and a rather "snobby" and occasionally dysfunctional tool. There is a scene in the movie "The Executioner" that I like very much. The priest said a sentence in the confession room to the criminal policeman who hesitated to help the protagonist: "God's law is higher than the law of the world". Detective Poirot undoubtedly thinks the same way. Personally, he appreciates this kind of wisdom and judgment without being coerced. When the movie came to an end, the night sky in the late winter and early spring outside the window was already full of stars. Coincidentally, when the last twelve people were clinking their glasses one by one, someone set off fireworks downstairs. It was like a relief, like a celebration. The door looks gorgeous, and there really is a feeling of God's will in the dark.
In addition, at the beginning of the movie, the flight attendant who speaks French, German, Hungarian, Italian, English, and Swedish calmly and skillfully is really a very charming character. It should be said that it is difficult to condense a novel into such a 2-hour movie, and also successfully show so many distinctive characters.
