Personal opinion This version of "Murder on the Orient Express" has a low score. After reading the film reviews, some of the negative reviews come from the expectations and disappointments of the original party, and some may be from a more advanced professional perspective... ...but novels and films are two different forms of artistic expression, and adaptation is also a kind of re-creation. Only by repeating a story repeatedly, through the alternate inheritance of creators and receivers, can a story become a classic possible.
From the perspective of "storytelling", the overall plot is still classic, and the shooting technique also follows the author Agatha's "Everyone is a suspect." The difference may be that director Kenneth used the complexity and contradiction of human nature to change the detective. Poirot's previous fixed character.
Facing the scales of justice, Poirot loses a little bit of God's perspective and highlights his true side as a "man". Poirot's reasoning trial at the climax of the film is more like an emotional self-interpretation: "There's right. There's wrong. There's you." Like the Orient Express, he was exiled together in the harsh and cold Vinkovci, waiting for God's redemption.
The mastermind and the disciples await the final judgment in a "Last Supper"-style composition: "...a life is lost, and a dozen souls are broken, twisted, and terminated... Pain and anger, they demand justice...all of you are involved..." Back to the black and white picture of twelve people taking turns to become criminals, each stab at the enemy spreads from the silence of the screen It is not blood and violence, but the lamentation of those lost lives, the eclipse of the twelve souls.
Facts have proved that even knowing the truth will not diminish the viewing charm of a classic reasoning work. At the end of the film, the Orient Express slowly drives towards the sunset. Whether the broken souls on board can be reborn, I am afraid that only God knows the answer... What exactly is justice? Yes, God has been very busy... But Ratchetts in the world, when you bury your conscience, do you think that the bad fruits you planted with your own hands will have a backlash?
As a product of the times, the director can adapt and shoot from a different perspective, providing contemporary audiences with the charm of paying attention, discussing, comprehending, and thinking about it again, which is also a sublimation of the meaning of the story itself. To put it another way, treat the entire film as an aesthetic work by director Kenneth Branagh, just relax and enjoy its artistic charm.
In dark November, Before the winter comes, Tell me all the things you wish for, Tell me you're that you would want to live for , all the things you want to live for. ...... Home my love, All the days of sorrow, We will vanish in tomorrow, You can count on me my love, Please rest assured Count on me my beloved, To be here, here and now, We will all be ready, we are all ready. Love and kindness steady, love and benevolence will turn into deadly daggers, We will never forget you, we will never forget you again, You are home my love, welcome home, my beloved. - "Never Forget" I can't give this film a low rating.
