I haven't read the novels, and Agatha's works have only seen the classic "Murder on the Orient Express" and "No Survivor", so I only talk about some feelings about the movie and the plot.
The plot is still of a very high level, eloquent and bizarre with twists and turns, explaining the antecedents and leading to the consequences. Like "The Orient Express", it's a murder in a closed space, and it has the same coincidence: almost everyone has a clear and sufficient motive to kill. If the "Oriental Express" is the last to be revealed, and the shock is strengthened step by step, then this one is creating a lot of fog and traps for the audience, making the case appear confusing and amplifying the characteristics of each person. and hatred.
In terms of performance, I really can't talk about it. After all, it's an old movie from 1978, and almost fifty years later, it still looks natural and smooth on the screen. Classic is already a good definition.
The lines are also very interesting, because there are so many characters, so there is a lot of dialogue. Each person's characteristics and backgrounds have formed their different language systems, or cunning, or excitement, or debauchery, excellent group portrait description, especially the peculiar relationship and dialogue between the master and servant, really love and kill each other interesting.
And, one of the biggest lessons learned is: if your journey is to spend with a group of people who have had a holiday with you, stop being proud and run!
