Before I was still thinking about the process of finding clues and reasoning, it is a bit of an understatement. Personally, I think it is not as good as the 1974 version. But I really like the atmosphere created by the film, the candles flicker, and everyone's face is hidden in bright or dark light and shadow.
When the truth is finally revealed, it is still the most exciting part of the film. The debate of justice and law has sublimated the film. Poirot clenched his fist and shouted "The rule of law, it must be held high! And if it falls, you pick it up and hold if even higher! For all society, all civilized people, will have nothing to shelter them if it is destroyed!" plx translates as "the rule of law must be above all else, and even if it is unfair, it should regain its belief and make it enduring. Once the legal belief collapses, a civilized society will have no place to live." When handed over to the police to let good people be exempted from prosecution, Poirot said "no" firmly and word for word. Walking in the snow holding hands, the sadness and entanglement on his face made people suffocate.
We believe that the law will bring justice, we believe that the law will lead us to civilization, we believe that the law is the final verdict of justice, so we uphold it. But when the law fails us, it is tantamount to the collapse of faith. But if we all use lynching to seek justice like street thugs, is there still a need for the law to exist?
I don't want to say "I cried when I saw xxxx", but my tears are really rolling. After watching this film, it is not the kind of happy heart that puts the murderer to death, nor is it a relief that the person who seeks justice has not been exposed, but a kind of heavy. Miss Debenham had thought that the exercise of justice would make life whole, and she punished the murderer, but her life was still mutilated. Perhaps this was God's punishment for her. She was not the only one who was punished. After these kind people experienced it, it was difficult for them to seek peace of mind.
