The TV version of this series is basically dark tones, but this film uses golden yellow as the background color in the memory segment that occupies most of the time, so that the summer in memory, the summer that changed everything, looks like this It is like a dream, so if you are confused, the memory is picked up in the long river of time, which is the kind of beauty that is broken at the touch of a touch. The use of light in the film is very particular, the mottled tree shadows flow in from the clear flower windows, and the bright brilliance that flickers on everyone's faces has disappeared from their faces more than ten years later... The music is also very good, with ups and downs, no edges and corners, always quietly playing when you need it most, especially when Philip recalled his visit to the manor, and the two when he recalled his childhood with Amyas and Caroline. , and the last part of the whole film, which is light and poignant, and the vicissitudes of time are all in it.
There are several changes to the original book that are excellent: the first part of the original book, as a novel, is understandable, but it is undoubtedly too procrastinating to have Poirot visit lawyers one by one in the limited time of the TV version. After the adaptation, the number of judicial people interviewed by Poirot was reduced from 5 to 1, and the main information of sporadic cases was condensed to facilitate the compact development of the plot; Redis's boyhood made the story's memory even more profound; Caroline changed from dying in prison to being hanged, completely pushing the old case to tragedy; the end of the original book has the taste of abrupt end , the focus is only on the real murderer; and the ending of the TV version can be described as a stroke of genius. After the truth is revealed, the young daughter seems to see the happy picture of the family many years ago, which brings a happy ending to that beautiful tragedy. .
The only shortcoming is that the crucial painting in the original book has not been reproduced in the TV version. I think the adaptor is not sure that such a peculiar painting can be turned into an actual image, so choosing to ignore it is not a bad idea. Smart way. In addition, a very "popular" change has been made in the feelings of a certain cheese, which is really helpless. . . Fortunately, that part was changed to be very subtle and beautiful...
In terms of actors, it was another unforgettable cast. It is especially worth mentioning that Aidan Gillen, who plays Amyas, interprets the character's artistic temperament very, very beautifully. In the original book, the image of Amyas is relatively vague, but I believe that after watching the TV version, no one will doubt it. This version of Aidan Gillen is the romantic and amorous painter in the book. What is interesting is that the actor played the big villain of "Shanghai Noon 2", and in the film, he had a fierce action rivalry with Jackie Chan. ^_^
Rachael Stirling, who plays the heroine Caroline, is a very attractive actress. Rowling is much prettier than I imagined~ She played the pastor's wife in "The House Mystery", but that time it was only a supporting role and had few opportunities to perform. This time the performance showed her extraordinary skill.
Toby Stephens, who plays Philip, looks very familiar, but I remembered later that he was the villain in 007's "Die Another Day" ^^ This character's role in the TV version is much stronger than the original, which impressed me especially The thing is that the actors are very good at dealing with the gap in the time span of more than ten years. The splendor of the past, the gloom of the present, and a trace of fragility throughout, the sense of hierarchy is quite distinct.
In addition, several other main characters are also excellent interpretation of the original characters. Gemma Jones as Mrs. Williams, Madam Pomfrey in Harry Potter, BJ's Diary, Sense and Sensibility; Sophie Winkleman as Angela, May in Marple's The Hand Root, who also appeared in The Chronicles of Narnia; Marc Warren, who played Meredith Black, was also a well-known actor, who appeared in Band of Brothers; Stone's new film "911" starring Nicolas Cage starred in a supporting role; Annette Badland played the servant Mrs. Spriggs in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."
