The plot is simple, the characters are complex

Highly recommended by a friend. I haven't read the novel, but I think the movie is pretty good. It seems to be a simple storyline, but in fact the task relationship is very complicated. The story mainly revolves around an Orient Express. Because of Daisy's death, the pain around him The trip planned by the conspiracy murderer, with the confirmation of the identity of each character by the great detective Poirot, the relationship between each person and Daisy's family, through the analysis of the skin and the cocoon, the murderer was finally found. Too many coincidences are destined to end easily. Guess. A train of the Orient Express, because one person, the people gathered together are all related to Daisy, which is too coincidental, which makes the story feel that the plot and characters are a bit exaggerated, and the only thing that burns the brain is the complicated relationship between the characters. The central character is our little angel Daisy, whose accident caused a tragedy for everyone. The wig woman is her grandmother, the princess mother-in-law is her mother's godmother, the princess' mother-in-law's servant is her family's cook, the geography tutor is her governess, and the missionary blames herself for stealing her little treasure due to drunkenness and negligence The nanny, the conductor is the younger brother of the wrongly killed maid, the fake German professor loves the wrongly killed maid, and the barbitur-sucking woman is the colonel's sister? The black doctor was funded by the male protagonist, and the fat secretary was the son of the judge in the case at that time...

Everyone in the car has something to do with the Daisy family incident, they co-planned the trip for their loved ones, and everyone stabbed the killer. The ending of the story is different from the endings of other cases. It is more humanized. It is a warm and happy ending that we like, but I personally prefer the ending. Poirot was so moved that he did not report everyone, but everyone passed the wave. Luo's dialogue was inspired, and they turned themselves in together, because the deceased in the incident was originally the murderer, and the judge took into consideration the circumstances and sentenced everyone to one year in prison. It is also the soul of the murderer who is freed and starts a new life again.

After all, wrong is wrong. The murderer is wrong or deserves to die, but no one can solve the problem by illegal means. It has already been determined that the identity of the murderer should be reported to the police and the murderer should be brought to justice. The maid was innocent and let the deceased rest in peace. liberation.

    This level of adaptation, I only see it in China. Grandma wrote a typical psychological detective, but she was changed to a tough-guy detective. Not only the key clues were lost, but even the reasoning process was absurd. If the previous work was too hasty and unnecessary cleverness, this is simply a Stupid! The long shots and the Last Supper are very unnecessary, and they mess up the actors' "moving positions". Director, have you read the book?

    Except for some scenes that are too Hollywood, I really like the presentation of this version. The pace is a bit slow in the first part. The feeling of the lens is very good, the long lens of the train station, the glass window of the dining car. The doctor has a line that the murderer destroyed him, and the subtitles are translated as "killed him", which is too hasty. There are comments that Shenxia is possessed, I think it is not Poirot who is possessed by Shenxia, ​​but the doctor who completed the autopsy in two seconds... Lord Kenny, you are also the one who played two detectives! 10.10 want to see
