The big detective starts here-"Detective Poirot Season 1"
Today we will talk about the British drama "Detective Poirot Season 1".
The film title is Agatha Christie's Poirot Season 1 (1989), alias The Legend of Detective Poirot.
Speaking of the world's most famous detective novel writer, "grandmother" Agatha Christie must be on the list. Granny is known as the "Queen of Detective Novels Worldwide", the "Queen of Detectives" appointed by the Queen of England, the winner of the "British Empire Medal", and an honorary doctorate of literature from the University of Exeter. It is no exaggeration to describe her works in terms of writing. Her works have been translated into 103 languages and published in 157 countries. The total print volume is second only to the "Bible", and is among the best sellers in the world with the "Bible" and "Shakespeare's Drama Collection". The top three.
Her most famous detective is Hercule Poirot. Some time ago I watched the BBC version of the mini-series "ABC Murder". It was about the detective Poirot’s case after retirement. The mini-series used a serious drama to interpret the legend of the detective. I thought at the time if I could write grandma The stories of the characters are all filmed, what an interesting thing that would be.
In fact, the British television station ITV has already done this. Between 1989 and 2013, ITV filmed 13 seasons and 70 episodes of "Detective Poirot".
The story runs through Poirot's life, and the whole drama concludes with Poirot's last case "Curtain: Poirot's Last Case", allowing the audience to appreciate his ups and downs and witty life.
In the first season of "Detective Poirot", there is a close-up shot of Poirot's handkerchief, embroidered with HP. The abbreviation for HP here is not Harry Potter, but Hercule Poirot.
Hercule Poirot is a Belgian, originally a Belgian police officer, because he often speaks French, he is often mistaken for French. He moved to England during World War I and began his career as a private investigator.
Hercule Poirot’s five-short stature has a shameless appearance. He is 5 feet 4 inches tall, or 162 centimeters. His round head is like a large salted egg. He has not much hair. But his moustache is well-groomed. He is neatly dressed and has feet. Dancing on bright leather shoes, like to say "Move your gray brain cells."
This is such a little old man who doesn't look outstanding at all, but he is a superb detective with keen observation and extremely clever head. He can discover the truth of the incident from the subtleties.
In addition, Poirot's act of acting like a baby to Sheriff Japu is really funny.
Poirot's good partner is Arthur Hastings. Just like the blind students who often find Huadian to Holmes, Hastings is also Poirot's good partner, assistant, and biographer.
"Detective Poirot" is a light comedy direction. Poirot alone is not enough to be humorous. Just like the teasing in cross talk, it needs Hastings to explode after Poirot’s joke is thrown out. ring.
Sheriff James Japp is in Scotland Yard. He and Poirot and Hastings form a solid triangle. Entrustment alone is not enough. With the help of the police, Poirot can be exposed to all kinds of cases, and the police force can avoid a lot of interference in solving cases. Think about the BBC version of "ABC Murder", without the help of Japp, Poirot was so hard.
The arrogant temperament of Japp and the cute temperament of Hastings produced a wonderful chemical reaction in Poirot. Seeing the three of them together, the audience did not laugh.
Another resident role is Miss Raymond. She is the secretary of the Poirot Detective Agency, responsible for daily affairs, sometimes helping with simple case investigations, and occasionally giving Poirot a flash of inspiration. Did not show detective ability in the first season.
The first season of "Detective Poirot" has 10 episodes.
01 The Adventure of the Clapham Cook (The Adventure of the Clapham Cook, the original is included in "Poirot's Early Cases")
Short comment: The blindfold method adds to the tiger's away from the mountain, and the truth becomes clear after the end is reversed. This is a typical grandma-style detective story.
02 Murder in the Mews (Murder in the Mews, the original work is included in "Murder in the Mews")
Short comment: Is the murder committed in the secret room suicide or murder? Is it a murder disguised as suicide or a suicide disguised as murder? The strongest method of revenge that women in a disadvantaged position can think of.
03 The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly (The Adventure of Johnnie Waverly, the original is included in "Poirot's Early Cases")
Short comment: In pre-announcement crime cases, the informant has access to a large number of resources on the scene, and is often a criminal. Every family has hard-to-read scriptures, and some people can't bear the family conflicts and choose extreme methods. In the end, they still don't eat their children.
04 Twenty-four black thrushes (Four and Twenty Blackbirds, the original works are included in "The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding")
Short comment: Cases with very clear context. The close-up shots from the very beginning of this episode indicate that the cases are all killing their loved ones for money.
05 The Mystery in the Third Floor Flat (The Third Floor Flat, the original work is included in "Poirot's Early Cases")
Short comment: a wife murder case. After Poirot sorted out the relationship between the characters, the case became very clear.
06 Triangle at Rhodes (Triangle at Rhodes, the original work included in "Murder in the Mews")
Short comment: Another wife murder case. You will find that most of the murderers in the wife murder case are husbands. People who change their hearts will only hurt more and more.
07 The Problem at Sea (The Problem at Sea, the original is included in "Poirot's Early Cases")
Short comment: I originally thought it would be a murder in a secret chamber at sea. Maybe the criminals didn't have confidence in themselves, and they chose to commit the crime after the ship docked in the port. There are eloquents on the boat, just one table, one chair, one fan, and one foot.
08 The Incredible Theft (The Incredible Theft, the original is included in "Murder in the Mews")
Short comment: This episode has risen to the height of national security. The story takes place after World War I and before World War II. A world war failed to resolve all disputes. Countries are still preparing for the next war. This episode also includes a road chasing action scene, which is really rare.
09 The Mystery of Plum K (The King of Clubs, the original work is included in "Poirot's Early Cases")
Short comment: Details determine success or failure, and one small detail exposes the entire incident. In addition, many injustices will kill themselves. If you don't have a relationship with the sky, don't go to the dream showbiz.
10 Dream / Nightmare (The Dream, the original is included in "The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding")
Short comment: Back to the blindfold method, it is similar to the third episode, and the guy who likes to make crime warnings is the most suspected. The criminal originally wanted to find a detective to endorse himself, but he didn't expect to encounter the protagonist's halo.
