It really takes courage to adapt a famous novel

As a grandma's original book party, when I first read it, I couldn't accept that many characters and plots of the original book were changed. After watching the whole movie, I felt that such an adaptation was to delete drugs and add more attractive diamonds for the sake of the film's length. The second is to make everyone have obvious motives, such as changing Brewster from a female athlete to a male writer, merging the female hotel owner and Darnley into a Daphene (Maggie is also a favorite familiar face in this movie, see the introduction Only then did I know that Arlena's actor was actually the Queen of Thorns in Game of Thrones, and she couldn't recognize her wearing a headgear. Maggie's appearance was not particularly stunning when she was young, but she really has a tone and charm in old age. After all, she is already a national treasure. At that age, she had already won the Oscar, but she still failed to act as a female star in the play. It can be seen that the queen of thorns is also well-deserved.) She also deleted the love line between her and Marshall, and the little girl The voodoo and suicide scenes (in the original book, she really hated it very much). After all, the way the book unfolds is different from that of the movie. There is absolutely no need for all the suspects to be motivated, which will also detract from the reader's desire to explore, but as a film of nearly two hours, only each paragraph attracts people to prevent the audience from not being able to. sleep. It is reasonable that the dialogue about evil in the book cannot be presented. The cast of actors in the movie was a little bigger, and due to the scarcity of beautiful actors at the time, Arlena's lack of roles probably made many big-name actresses give up, so I can only make Redfern the only person with good looks, which was a pity when I first watched it. , a little bit broke the image in my heart, after all, the purpose of watching the movie is to strengthen some characters and scenes in the book, but I was a little disappointed. However, it is good to be able to make up for the scenery, and the process of restoring the crime is also very good. After all, it is a movie from decades ago, but the ending is quite interesting. Due to the deletion of the scissors and the hat, there is no key physical evidence of scissors, but the signature The handwriting, the correspondence between the Latin and English pseudonyms, and the diamonds in the pipe all make people feel that the screenwriter has at least some new ideas, and can return to a story, the new ideas are not bad.

    A lot of people who have read the original have said that the film adaptation is not good, but I am very satisfied with it. It's a pity~ Now suspense films like this are almost extinct. Jane Birkin is really charming, with tall legs and long slender temperament, she is fascinated and fascinated~

    I remember being a little bit of Poirot from middle to high school. In that group of people, everyone has a criminal motive, and everyone has no time to commit the crime. Although most of the time there is a suspicion of looking for a remedy, but generally speaking, it satisfies people's desire for reasoning. The 1982 version is better.
