I didn't expect that the case of the Orient Express was filmed again in 10 years. Although this film is not much different from the original one in terms of character modeling, the plot design is very different. In the upper part, when Poirot found that there were twelve people in the car They were all murderers. He proposed two possibilities. In fact, he already knew that there was only one possibility, but he deliberately said that there were two possibilities, that is, to pave the way for the 12 people to be exonerated. In his impression, Poirot did not Hesitantly, he naturally accepted the murder of the villain, and was even very pleased with the result. In this book, Poirot obviously became a faithful believer of the law. He believed that everything had to be decided by the law, and that lynching could not exist anyway. If lynching was recognized, there would no longer be the rule of law. There will be no shelter." From the beginning to the end, Poirot did not smile at all, and kept frowning. From the beginning of the film, he pointed out the fact that a soldier lied, which led to the soldier committing suicide by drinking a bullet. When the soldier's friends questioned him, he did not think it was wrong at all. Soldier, because lying is wrong and he just revealed the truth. Later, an Islamic woman was stoned to death by her husband and others because of her cheating pregnancy. Although he claimed to feel sorry for the woman's death, he didn't think she should have died because "she knew the consequences of cheating" but did it again. Should be governed by local laws or customs. Later, when he realized that the twelve people had murdered an unforgivable villain together, a new test came again. Rationally, he still believed that the twelve people should be handed over to the police and to the law for trial, but Germany Benham talked to him and believed that justice should first be handed over to the law to judge. If the law does not perform justice, it should be handed over to God. When God also turned a blind eye, Debenham thought that he could only exercise justice himself. ". This is what we call "justice in the heart". Poirot did not answer. In the end, Poirot did not tell the police the truth, and saved twelve people from prison, but from his expression, this decision did not make him feel relieved, and he was still very worried, and God knew what he was thinking.
At this level, this film is obviously more innovative and profound than the previous one. It is no longer just a simple revenge, justice has triumphed over evil, and sin has been punished. This time, it begins to discuss law and justice. How much conflict is there between justice and law? Is there a law of nature? If so, who formulates the law of nature, who has the power to exercise it, and in what form? Why can't we see this kind of thinking in Chinese film and television dramas? In China, the concept of the rule of law is obviously not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What people care about is who can have a more favorable position when using the law to play games, and who can control it and let it do what they want.
