scales of justice

A classic by British reasoning writer Agatha Christie, published in 1943. The story is well known, and it can be said that there is no suspense in the content of this movie. But while watching the movie, I still quietly waited for the great detective Polo to reveal the final murderer. No one is innocent, everyone in the car is a murderer. The murderer should be punished by the law so that justice can be served. The deceased Ratchett kidnapped and killed Daisy Armstrong, his mother died of miscarriage in grief, and his father shot himself. There was a train of people whose hearts were twisted because of the incident. In order to alleviate their inner pain, self-blame, and anger, they realize the justice in their hearts with their own hands.

The reason why a movie is wonderful is not only the cleverness of the shooting technique, but also its theme is more important. The deceased in the movie are not the most pitiful. Those relatives who are still living in this world have suffered from it, but those murderers are often able to escape the punishment of the law, and some are often not sentenced to death even if they are sentenced. How can the great pain stretch.

This reminds me of "Su Yuan", "The Furnace", Jiang Ge's mother, and the middle-aged widower in the nanny arson case. I think they must be wondering, what is justice and what is fairness. The law respects the criminals, but does the law really protect the victims? Will the victim's family be comforted? Thinking of the teenager who raped and murdered at the age of 13, because he was a minor, what could the law do against him, the dead girl was also a minor, who would protect her rights and interests?

    9 points. When the case was revealed and the 12 people took action one by one, I couldn't help but tear my eyes. They had their own reasons, for their lover, their relatives, and good people. The detective and the policeman also let them go. But after careful consideration, in the name of fake love, can you pick up the butcher knife and kill it quickly? I am afraid that there will be endless troubles for the parties and judicial justice. Anyways, it's a good ingenuity story

    Another star-studded Agatha Chrisite production. . There was the old Ingrid Bergman. . But I don't like this Paolo very much. .

Murder on the Orient Express quotes

  • Hercule Poirot: The obvious implication is that the murderer, disguised as a conductor, boarded the train at Belgrade, made his way by means of the convenient passkey to Ratchett's compartment, stabbed him to death, planted the dagger and the uniform, and then departed, since the train was now halted in a snowdrift. Who was he? I am inclined to agree with Mr Foscarelli, who believes that he was a rival member of the Mafia, exacting private vengeance for a vendetta whose precise nature the Yugoslav police will undoubtedly identify.

    Dr. Constantine: But... is that all?

    Hercule Poirot: No. No, no, no, no. No, it is not. I said, here is the simple answer. There is also a more... complex one. But remember my first solution when I... when you've heard my second.

  • Greta Ohlsson: I was born backwards. That is why I work in Africa as missionary, teaching little brown babies more backwards than myself.
