Movies are destined to be incomparable to literature at certain moments, which is the original sin of adaptation.

Books give you plenty of time to ruminate and chew, but the movies are very hasty in the blink of an eye. You havetily accepted that there is no time to think, no space to imagine... It's not that the movie is bad, but what form is a story suitable for? This is the adapted original sin. The more complicated the appearance and the more characters in the story, the more time it needs to leave the audience thinking space, and the audience can imagine the maximum power. Movies are more suitable for simple, shallow, emotional stories.

Watch the original and then watch the movie. Every shot becomes meaningful.

A story that takes place in a confined space with the participation of multiple actors with different personalities is simply the material of choice for a drama.

The same plot, which looks so natural in the author's pen in the book, is so deliberately contrived in the movie.

Put all the clues on the same character together to make the whole thing happen.

There are multiple characters and multiple roles, which can be arranged very smoothly in the book, but it is messy in the limited space of the movie. The characters passing by in a hurry, the audience can't remember.

When the plot has come to an end and the audience is tired, a knife suddenly appears and shocks everyone. This is the rhythm of the script.

The third act requires a very strong Madden point. The actor is the hot spot of Mrs. Amsterdam, and it does it perfectly.

The last scene was very impressive and full of dramatic tension.

As the mystery was revealed, the icebreaker completed the icebreaker. Forever the interior is a combination of changes made by the external environment.

The emotionally uplifting moment of toasting each other at the end is a must.

    Agatha Christie is already amazing as a female detective novelist, and that alone makes this movie worth watching. I haven't read the novel before, but when I watched the film, I felt quite suspenseful and looked forward to the reveal of the answer. But when the truth comes out, the feeling is just one - exaggeration! Twelve people in a car are murderers, not only unexpectedly, but also beyond reason! Later, I heard that it was adapted from a true story, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself.

    The biggest success of a movie adapted from a classic novel is the infinite overlap with the brain supplements when reading the novel. And, the Hamlet of 10,000 people is combined into one.
