between justice and law

Josiane 2022-02-07 15:00:01

This British TV series based on the novel of the same name by British author Agatha Christie is a story in the third episode of the twelfth season of the series "Detective Poirot". On a fast-moving train, a person who dies in an entire car is suspected, and the result is both unexpected and reasonable. Poirot also experienced an emotional and intellectual torture. What is the trade-off between justice and law? This question has been asked countless times since ancient times, and everyone has their own answer. When the law cannot punish the wicked, what should we do? David has always been the best actor in my opinion to play Poirot. At the end of the play, he held a cross in his hand and was about to cry, showing Poirot in a painful battle with great precision.

Murder on the Orient Express quotes

  • Mary Debenham: You said of the woman in Istanbul that she knew the rules of her culture and knew what breaking them would mean. So did Cassetti.

    Hercule Poirot: [harshly] And so do you!

    Mary Debenham: When you've been denied justice... you are incomplete. It feels that God has abandoned you in a stark place. I asked God... I think we all did... what we should do, and he said do what is right. And I thought if I did, it would make me complete again.

    Hercule Poirot: [coldly] And are you?

    Mary Debenham: [long pause, then] But I did what was right.

  • Lieutenant Blanchflower: If I may speak out of turn, sir... I think it unjust that one mistake cost Lieutenant Morris so dearly. He was a good man... who was involved in an accident.

    Hercule Poirot: [turns to face him] Unjust?

    Lieutenant Blanchflower: He made an error of judgement. He was a good man.

    Hercule Poirot: It did not have to end in suicide.

    Lieutenant Blanchflower: I think he believed he had no choice.

    Hercule Poirot: A man like your friend, Lieutenant, always has choice, and it was his choice to lie that brought him into difficulty with the law.

    [He turns away]
