Watching a really good movie can provide us far more than a short-term pleasure of watching a movie.
The various deep meanings behind it, the thought-provoking connotations, the director's well-intentioned metaphors, and even the unknown behind-the-scenes stories are all worthy of our repeated exploration and reflection. If you are a detective novel fan, or a suspense party, then you must know her.
Agatha Christie!
Known as the queen of mystery novels, Granny is the best-selling author in human history.
Do you know how well her books are selling?
According to Guinness, only the Bible and Shakespeare's writings outsold her.
Most of her works have become world-class bestsellers, and they are sold as soon as they are sold.
Grandma has written more than 80 works, "Murder on the Nile", "Murder on the Orient Express", "Roger Mystery", "Prosecution Witness", "ABC Murder" and so on. (Not listed one by one)
Granny's most famous works are "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Murder on the Nile" .
This one: "No One Survives," a film based on Agatha Christie's novel of the same name.
In 2015, the BBC launched the TV series No Survival on the occasion of Agatha Christie's 125th birthday .
Granny's work has been adapted into a three-episode mini-TV series, each of which is less than an hour, but after watching three episodes, you will definitely be hooked.
This TV series version of "No One Survives" is the first adaptation of many film and television adaptations to maintain the ending of the original.
The story takes place in 1939, just before the outbreak of World War II. Eight strangers are invited to Soldier Island.
After the eight people arrive on the island, the eight people learn that the owner is not on the island.
There are only housekeepers and couples on the island. To everyone's surprise, the butler couple had never seen the mysterious owner. Everyone walked into the villa of the mysterious owner and found that there was nothing unusual. The enthusiastic butler couple also prepared a delicious dinner.
Just as everyone was having dinner, the gramophone in the dining room suddenly sounded, accusing the ten guests, the housekeeper and the couple, of having committed murder.
It turned out that the ten people, including the housekeeper and his wife, had an ugly face hidden under their hypocritical smiles and were guilty of sin.
There are doctors, teachers, detectives, housekeepers, judges ...any profession, but none of them are good people.
The governess drowned children for money, servants suffocated their masters, generals killed his wife's lover, doctors misdiagnosed patients because of drunkenness... and the judge himself misjudged the death penalty.
The terrifying atmosphere of "Nobody Survives" comes from its apocalyptic sense of ritual. The reason for this sense of ritual may be that the extrajudicial judge in the play is a judge himself.
My grandmother wrote a novel inspired by a black nursery rhyme [Ten Little Blacks], commonly known as limericks. It was later changed to [Ten Little Indian Boys] because it was said that blacks were racist.
The content of the nursery rhyme is as follows:
Ten little Indian boys ran for food; one could not be saved from choking, and only nine of the ten were left. Nine Indian little boys were really sleepy late at night; they fell asleep and died, and only eight of the nine were left. Eight little Indian boys went hunting in Devon City; one was left to go west, and only seven of the eight remained. Seven little Indian boys, felling trees and branches were not easy; the axe split in half and died, and the seven were only six. Six Indian little boys, playing with the hive to provoke the bees; they flew and died, and there were only five of the six. Five little Indian boys, causing trouble and lawsuits; the lawsuits were entangled until they died, and only four of the five remained. Four little Indian boys went out to sea in a group and suffered a great disaster; the herring devoured the blood stained, and only three of the four remained. Three little Indian boys suffer disaster in the zoo; a bear suddenly falls from the sky, leaving only two of the three. Two little Indian boys, sighing in the sun; sunburned and roasted to death, only one of the two. A little Indian boy, only one person came back; Xuanliang committed suicide, and there is no one left.
That night, Marston died mysteriously, and the old nursery rhyme shrouded everyone like a curse. Every time a person dies, there will be one less small porcelain person on the table.
On this closed island, these ten people reveal the greed, selfishness and sin of human nature.
There is an interesting detail: when the two female victims recalled the reasons for their mistakes, the director used wheat yellow to render the picture. The wheat color, which represents a good harvest, peace and warmth, is used to set off the ugliness under the beauty.
We look back at the title of the movie - "No One Survives", which means that all ten people, including the murderer, are dead. This is the last picture left.
The reason why the judge was able to kill the other nine people so smoothly was to take advantage of the distrust between them, just like killing a werewolf, it was always in a rhythm.
Until the end, the game is over.
