justice or law

For one thing, the ending of Murder on the Orient Train left me speechless. While watching and drawing a mind map, I couldn't figure out who the murderer was. At the end, I was shocked and sighed. Twelve people of different identities, different statuses and different countries were bound together because of the same kidnapping case. The deceased was a criminal. Are these twelve people just judges or transgressors of the law? Although in love I think there is more than death, but in law it is still murder, how does justice and law balance.

Assuming that the plot is realistic, it is absolutely impossible for the twelve people to escape the punishment of the law. Only in places where the law cannot reach, will there be such a silent sentence, so that the twelve people can be relieved of their souls.

I hope that in the society we live in, let the light of the law shine in every dark corner, instead of being a light that illuminates some people and a fire that burns others.

    The dubbing is good, but without the complexity of the original multi-language mix, the Polo here is a neurotic and paranoid mustache who actually yells at the lady, which is not comparable to the elegant Polo in the new version. It suits me very well. In order to make Poirot choose the first answer, his anger towards the murderer is foreshadowed before the film, but I always feel that this kind of value is not very good, and the new version gives people more through Poirot's inner conflict and struggle. Think and ponder.

    In general, worse than the legend. The subtitles of the version I watched are very poor, so I basically rely on listening, and it is estimated that some information is missing. But the overall feeling is that the rhythm is not so good, and there is no particular ups and downs to catch people. The seats are abundant, and the scheduling of small spaces is realized. The characters are somewhat staged, and I always feel that some of them can be digged a little more. The director himself also said that the script was difficult to film, and who would want to listen to a large section of the script without finding an all-star cast.

  • Dr. Constantine: [touches the back of Beddoes head] Yes, there is an old contusion.

    Beddoes: The result of a slight fracas in the mess, sir, with regard to the quality of the pudding, known as spotted dick.

    Hercule Poirot: Thank you. I think you've been spotted too!

  • Hercule Poirot: Ladies and gentlemen, we now come to my own reconstruction of the night of the murder - or, the night of the red herrings.
